In the aftermath of Israel's invasion of Lebanon in 1982, June Jordan and Audre Lorde had a falling out over the issue of Zionism. I've traced it across three archives, and it may be the most important story I've ever told. Read it, but more importantly, read June Jordan.
"When both were participating in an anti-apartheid poetry reading in 1986, June Jordan approached Adrienne Rich and said, 'I completely and absolutely detest your views on Israel and I love you.'" @m_myglory examines a Black feminist falling-out. lareviewofbooks.org/article/moving…

To my fellow Brown people who were born/raised here in Canada. Lets chat. There may be instances where people vilify recent Brown immigrants. International students especially. They may specifically exclude you from their criticisms because you're not like them. 1/8

I'm in Montreal until Tuesday, June 18th! If anyone else who has answered the call to #boycott_FHSS is keen to connect to chat #decolonialfeminism #SouthAsiandiasporas #gendersexuality #sexualreprojustice #immigrationpolicy #healthpolicy #scholaractivism DM me! I'd love to meet.
I have hesitated to share these thoughts because I’m not one who is very comfortable with attention, but I feel it necessary to bring to attention anxieties I’ve had regarding the upcoming #FHSS Congress, mutual aid, and the most marginalized in academia (very long)
I've withdrawn from this year's @federation_hss #Congressh at @mcgillu in solidarity with @boycott_FHSS & @AMPL_AMPD I was really looking fwd to attending but can't participate in a meeting of South Asian Studies thinkers that doesn't acknowledge #genocide.

Hey Sandy and Kelly @UofT, We see what you’re doing. We know you better than you know yourselves. While speaking like the czars of peaceful resolution, you are methodically attempting to create the pretext that would allow you to unleash violence on ...

A 🧵: As @Columbia President succumbed to relentless Republican pressure at the House Education Committee hearing, sacrificing academic freedom to spurious but politically powerful claims of antisemitism, I gave a talk at @nyuniversity's Palestinian solidarity occupation.
