“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

I interviewed the incredible Keeonna Harris for Flaming Hydra. We talked about incarcerated pen pals, literary moms, bacon wrapped hot dogs and more. 💚
16,000 people living with HIV are expected to lose coverage from the AIDS Drugs Assistance Program due to Florida's funding cuts.
Read Kamaria Laffrey's pre-obituary as a long-term survivor in Florida.
"Kamaria Laffrey writes an indictment of a system that’s failing people living with HIV."
Thinking of Du Bois’s open letter to Nkrumah. Nearly seven decades on, as empire’s missiles strike Ghanaian peacekeepers in Lebanon, as neocolonialism continues its plunder nearly everywhere, may we not forget freedom, peace, and socialism.
The absurdity continues with WaPo. Ugh. Like they have made this world with Trump. Ugh.
IDK who wrote this ill advised POS article but they shouldn't get paid for it because WHAT THE ABSOLUTE EFF IS THIS !!!! I mean, EVANGELICALS ARE EVERYWHERE IN TRUMP WORLD
See you in NY! ❤️
Florida’s Board of Governors is made up of “political appointees from the business world, from insurance executives to roofing contractors, who are dictating how professors must teach their courses and even providing state-created textbooks for doing so.”

This is such short-sighted thinking. What about the babies who are too young to get vaccinated? The immunocompromised for whom vaccines are less effective? Breakthrough cases of vaccinated people. Public Health officials cannot give up so easily on trying to educate people as this person can.
Ahead of her talk on 11 March (5:30, Christ's College), you can read the introduction to the soon-to-be-released 'Gloria Wekker Reader' on the Duke University Press website: www.dukeupress.edu/the-gloria-w...

I guess I’m some kind of outlier with my near exclusive non-fiction bookshelves and reading habits…
I’m taking an astronomy class right now and this book is both: how I plan to celebrate wrapping up the quarter, and how I’ll continue wrestling with the mind-bending nature of spacetime.
Thanks!!!!
@tnflorvil.bsky.social I was thinking that maybe this text linked above could be of interest. Also notifying @vethompson.bsky.social, the paper you heard me present at the conference on Angela Davis’s philosophy in Bergen is out now. Thanks for the questions and discussion on those complex issues
Labour is what happens when the nominally "center-left" party stands for absolutely nothing and just shifts more and more to the right in a foolish attempt to woo voters to their right: a massively unpopular party that's going to get absolutely crushed... and right-wing policies.
Le sigh

atp, it actually feels like a part of the voter suppression tactic itself. writing everybody off instead of figuring out what you can do to remedy disconnects in our communities. that instinct is not serving the people.
Update: American Marines were among the security personnel who opened fire on protesters by the US Consulate in Karachi, Pakistan on Sunday, where 10 people were killed.
What a week, and it is only Wednesday. Whew!
Viva España 💪
Whew, been there. It does get better.

Congrats!
