Friends, please keep shining a light on Columbia & Yale and the criminalization of students there. But where is the outrage when this happens at @cuny & Brooklyn College-when working class students of color are criminalized instead of Ivy League students?thenation.com/article/societ…

One of New York's Most Vital Colleges Is Targeting Muslim Students

The Brooklyn College administration has repeatedly shown that it is willing to suppress Muslim and Palestinian speech on campus.

Emocianda para voltar à Universidade de São Paulo na sexta-feira, 17 de março, para apresentar minha pesquisa. A análise discute como a branquitude é enfatizada e reforçada pelas representações das mulheres afrodescendentes nas telenovelas. # Brazil #telenovelas #racismo

January 8th in #Brazil with the trashing and storming of Brazilian Congress and the Supreme Court aligns with the US’s January 6th. Fascism undergirded by white Christian patriarchy in the US and Brazil will take us all down unless we show solidarity and instill #democracy.
