- Not sure what you mean by theories, but there is very little knowledge production on Latine racial identity. Latines are taught to assimilate as part of an ongoing colonial project to empty the land of indigenous people, artificially inflate white majorities, and fight communism in Latin America
- Should I submit my 20th faculty application of this academic year or make another Jon Snow edit for Tiktok 😭 it's been an absolutely brutal couple of years man, holy shit

- I want to start a press that sells $5 mass market paperbacks, with introductions by contemporary figures. Not a boutique press because reading is not a luxury. We’ll need to be subsidized to keep the price point, but we can’t let mass market pbs die to $50 hardbacks and Anna’s Archive 💔

- All the blockbuster IP franchises you love today only exist because of mass market paperbacks. How can we stop this? goodereader.com/blog/digital...
- It's what the working class read. Game of Thrones, Jurassic Park, Dune. Stephen King, John Grisham, Michael Crichton were book-to-movie cottage industry. I remeber buying the Joy Luck Club, Waiting to Exhale, The Lost World, Sapphire, and Of Mice and Men at KROGER. What a massive loss for literacy.
- There are few poets I trust more who can capture the constant present of the shattered colonial real, the specter of the past, the looping nature of un-time, unreality, that is forced into a procession line of exit and erasure, than Chaun Webster. lithub.com/letter-from-...
- Reposted by El Norte RecuerdaWhile independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.
- Most people do not grasp how warped our reality is that ICE even exists. Immigration and Naturalization Service, formerly INS, was a CIVIC agency—part of the Department of Labor. Racism and xenophobia alone militarized it under George W Bush following 9/11. This cannot be reformed. ABOLISH ICE NOW
- "You raise your voice, I erase your voice." ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights. Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

- What we’re seeing in Minneapolis began in Ferguson in 2014. Militarization of police, IDF tactics, gassing protestors w/ the same gas used on Palestinians. Between 2009-2016, Obama deported 3 million people without criminal records. And Palantir began operating in 2019. You weren’t paying attention.

- Liam Conejo Ramos’ little Spider-Man backpack is destroying me. A five year old used as bait, and detained. No one protected him, not even the heroes of our imagination. May all our fantasies be revealed as the imperialist propaganda and failure of imagination they are.
- It's my birthday today. No celebration. Instead, I'm getting on a plane at 7pm tonight to be with my mom for her breast cancer surgery tomorrow. My birthday wish is that you buy my book so that I can earn out, and hopefully keep writing. Thank you. bookshop.org/p/books/magi...

- Another immigrant, Luis Gustavo Nuñez Cazares, died in ICE custody in Conroe, Texas. The cause was heart failure. Rest in peace, Luis.

- Reposted by El Norte RecuerdaTwo queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the other’s eyes. The grief in the survivor’s voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.
- NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

- Even the winner of the 2024 Nobel Prize in economics, a neoliberal institution, won the award after effectively proving that colonial extraction was the worst thing that has ever happened to the global south in terms of long-term outcomes in wealth and stability www.npr.org/2024/10/14/n...
- I’m not sure how much better I could have done in my PHD. I won a Whiting award, my dissertation was longlisted for the national book and national book critics circle awards. And yet, still no job, no health insurance, huge student loan payment, and no income for 2026 as a single parent.

- I feel like I need to name something. I don’t talk about Donald Trump or this admin because I almost feel like I lose credibility when I do. Like the only language that fits his deeds will sound deranged and hysterical, and be ignored and dismissed. When he is all I should be talking about.
- This is plainly not true? Migrants are not only largely overemployed, they are also the lowest unhoused demographic. The levels of fascist propaganda in this country are staggering

- With the recent passing of Johnny Canales, Fito Olivares, and Abraham Quintanilla, I think I want to write about the slow, invisible passing of the old guard of Texas Cumbia, and the end of an era of La Onda Grupera.
- Reminder that this is the name of Aragorn's sword. We are trapped in the white colonial imagination.

- I’ve been thinking a lot about why there hasn’t been an organized movement with a name in light of the ICE kidnappings, internment, and ethnic cleansing via mass deportation. The main reason is that this time, nonwhite or migrant protestors can be abducted for any reason at any time.
