I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it.

It adds to the sadness of the moment to hear so-called liberals keep saying, "This isn't America." Everything the US power structure is doing they've already tested on Natives, enslaved people, and others "America" sees as foreign or insufficiently human. Are you libs being ignorant like the right?

Ranjani Srinivasan, the Columbia grad student whose visa was revoked forcing a "self deportation", was scheduled to present their research at the AAG meeting next week. This is an outrageous attack on our colleague and on geographic thought. Share and sign the statement below.

In light of this injustice, it’s important to point out that Northwestern has been harboring a literal Nazi on its faculty for decades, Holocaust denier Arthur Butz. NU has jumped through hoops to defend Butz’s “free speech,” but fires faculty members who speak out against genocide.

I was supposed to discuss our book *The End of College Football* tonight in Washington, DC.
I won't be there because I was denied entry to the United States.
They refused to say why; my best guess is some combo of the inauguration, politics, Palestine, and maybe, a new normal.

EXCLUSIVE: Thousands of documents obtained from the Yale Police Department show how the campus police closely surveilled pro-Palestine protestors, in collaboration with the FBI and counterterrorism forces.

❗️The measure to repeal ranked-choice voting in Alaska is now trailing — by 192 votes statewide.
The roughly 3.9K ballots counted today broke for the 'no' by 29%. (About as many more ballots remain, probably a little more.)

Overwhelming decision for the Rama and Kriol/Creole peoples in the Inter-American Court today. Nicaragua is responsible for violating their political, territorial, and procedural rights in the process of pursuing the canal project. Ordered to halt the canal project and protect Black/Indig. rights.

Another part of this story: In my conversations with senior Sandinista officials, they acknowledged that the canal would be a disaster. But they said it was the least bad way to generate the revenues needed to keep up with debt servicing while pursuing social spending.
Today could be big for Black & Indigenous rights law in Abya Yala: the Inter-American Court of Human Rights will rule in Rama and Kriol Peoples v. Nicaragua and may set out the substantive requirements of prior consultation and FPIC. Watch at 2:30 p.m. Cent Am/CST: www.youtube.com/@CorteIntDH/...
