Inequality, Crime, and Resistance in New York City, published by @TempleUnivPress is out today.
It is designed for course adoption and is out in paperback. If you’re interested in using it for a course, I’d be very happy to pop into a class to discuss with students.
Delighted to be part of this symposium on Cedric’s wonderful book, After Black Lives Matter, from @VersoBooks

Mike Johnson: Of course not. It’s absurd. As Commerce Secretary, he’s done an extraordinary job for the country. Thomas Massie should stop playing political games.
Raju: Do you have any concerns about Lutnick ties to Epstein?
Johnson: I don’t know anything about it
Nothing they are doing should be remotely surprising. They were very clear about it. Anyone shocked now was not paying attention. The truth is that you helped facilitate it @joerogan either because you were too credulous or too foolish to see what was before your eyes.

Rogan: "You don't want militarized people in the streets just roaming around, snatching up people — many of which turn out to be U.S. citizens that just don't have their papers on them. Are we really gonna be the Gestapo, 'Where's your papers?' Is that what we've come to?"

Imagine being forced to fly half the way around the world to sit through this cretinous drivel.
