crucial piece from always brilliant @reproutopia.bsky.social "Sexual violence, in other words, is not incidental to the colonial project. It is its grammar."
Sophie Lewis"Much of the escalation no longer requires secrecy – it is photographed, filmed, and disseminated by its own perpetrators, turning the thousands of members of Israeli society who daily consume and share the footage into co-participants." www.thekeymagazine.com/p/israel-rap...
I hope you read this vital, powerful writing from @reproutopia.bsky.social in today's edition of The Key: "This is what it looks like when a society has settled the question of who counts as rapeable – which is to say, who counts as human." www.thekeymagazine.com/p/israel-rap...
“Everything Is Legitimate”: How Israel Uses Rape as a Tool of GenocideThe rape of Palestinian detainees is so commonplace that it’s no longer hidden. It’s filmed, joked about, and celebrated in parliament. This is no mistake; it’s core to Israel’s colonial project.www.thekeymagazine.com
So great to be back on Death Panel, to talk the new red scare, the threats both empty and dangerous from the Trump administration, and how they are trying to build a fascist repression international!

‘Get monstrous, my dears’ Beautiful sentiment from @vickyacab.bsky.social This was so moving, honestly brought me to tears
‘Take each others’ suffering more seriously’ @reallandsend.bsky.social Yes. People are not problems.
I wrote about how immigration arrests are at all-time highs, even as ICE is trying to assume a lower public profile. How are they doing this? Look to your local police.
ICE’s Secret Weapon Is in Your CommunityWhile attempting to maintain a relatively lower profile, ICE is managing to arrest record numbers of people. Here’s how it’s doing that.newrepublic.com
This is basically Will Stancil’s conception of the left

Reporting on OMB's sweeping politicization of federal grants tends to focus on science / health research. But as I note in this piece for @crisesnotes.bsky.social, the rule is a huge threat to *intergovernmental* grants and state/local fiscal stability. www.crisesnotes.com/russell-voug...
