Hi everyone
I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests
I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

“Violence” is an eminently flexible term and its operational definition is dependent on who’s deploying it.

@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.
Protest, Power, and the Violence Debate

If the Democrats don't shut down the Senate. I don't want to hear anything. If any of you whine in my mentions saying 'they can't do that' you will be blocked. Schumer has been in the Senate for 90 million years he knows what to do.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

I say this with complete and utter sincerity, Democrats should stop listening to third-way consultants like Ezra Klein and should be physically forced to watch Andor instead.

I wrote "The Trial" on June 11, 2021, the day Darnell's Frazier—an 18 year old Black girl— received an honorary Pulitzer Prize for her video of George Floyd being murdered by those cops. Today, though, I share it because I’m struck by how it applies to Tyre Nichols as well.

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...
World Central Kitchen | WCK Forced to Halt Cooking in Gaza as Supplies Run Out

I’ve spent the last 2 weeks with #Andor S2 scores as my workday soundtrack. Today, I decided to really branch out & listen to S1 scores again. How could I have forgotten that “My Name is Kino Loy” makes me well up with emotion & gives me chills?
The music of Andor, both seasons, is so, so good.

These American children have been abducted and exiled, not "deported." Deportation implies a legal process and there is none for these actions.
