Appreciate @_inquest_ for publishing this excerpt from my book Carceral Apartheid: How Lies and White Supremacists Run Our Prisons
"We continually witness the power of white solidarity across class, law enforcement, and personal boundaries—even if the actors are complete strangers—in support of the collective decimation of Black people." @CurlyProfessor w/ @UNC_Press inquest.org/united-in-hate/

"All these white people did not know each other personally, but they all knew what team they were on, and they all knew they were white, together, and that we were not." @CurlyProfessor on how racist solidarity works as a form of policing. inquest.org/united-in-hate/

Sometimes healing looks like wild joy, not quiet pain. Go live. Get messy. Laugh loud. Make memories that rewrite the story. Healing can happen in freedom too.
Appreciate this article on the event and a day of truly inspiring conversations w/ @nvancleve &
@_simmonscenter students!

This is what happens when empires are in decline: they get desperate and rely on the only thing they have - the means of violence - to land grab and expropriate to try to reassert their dominance. It is what happened in the late 19th century, and it prefaced the World Wars. 1/2
