Not sure how impactful “say their names” discourse is as a political strategy; but haven’t seen it show up for the growing number of international scholars being captured by the Trump admin without due process. Alireza Doroudi; Kseniia Petrova; Rumeysa Ozturk; Mahmoud Khalil.

A 2020 political cartoon by Matt Bors. In panel one, a woman looking at her phone says, “my GAWD, these Trump people are racist,” while an angry white man in a MAGA hat responds, “that attitude is what’s pushing me to be racist!” In panel two, the woman says, “say what?” and the man responds, “might as well! You say I’m a Nazi, so fine, I’ll be a Nazi if that makes you happy.” In panel three, the woman says, “it doesn’t,” and the man responds, “I bought this Waffen SS uniform for Halloween. You’ll cry ‘offensive,’ so maybe I’ll just wear it every day.” In panel four, the woman is gone, and the man says, “I just hate to do this; I feel bullied, really,” while he shaves his head and gets a swastika tattoo.

Other celebrants of VWSV include…
Photo postcard of the lynching of Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith; Indiana; 1930. Many white people gather around two deceased Black men who are hanging from ropes in a tree. The white people are well dressed and smiling for the camera; one looks proud as he points at the bodies of Shipp and Smith.

I can’t believe I ever hurt you
I swear I will never drink again, please
Just give me one more chance
I will never cause a disturbance and then black out again
I swear
I will never take a shot
I will never take a shot
No, no…
