Thank you, Lorgia🙏🏾Thank you @thaqafatalhind for calling us in. Our collective response came ~6mos after I moved from Rome to 🇨🇦/UofT. V. instructive galvanising Black scholars into reciprocal witness on new lands. Rome’s continued complicity in 2024’s blood prize is enraging.

The sinister tactics the city uses to cleanse encampments fuel homelessness. DARVO tactics of Z¡noist PR machines fuel Z¡onism. Instead of issuing threats to discipline/fire/deport, do the reading for once @UofT: Disclose. Divest. Suspend ties. tr.ee/ohfuWIHoyN @occupyuoft


A daily glut of heartbreak and brutality for which no language will ever sufficiently account or atone. And still: fiercely defended islands of courage, liberatory coalitions, and direct actions of care. A reminder.

Besides being on stolen & occupied Indigenous lands, "public" unis claiming "outsider"presence reveal themselves to be what we've long known: corporations, prisoners of knowledge, 3 landlords in a trench coat. Loving, liberatory actions like @occupyuoft call them all to account🧿
