I treat boycotts as personal blood vendettas. This is about me physically harming a corporation, not about me telling any other human how to live their life.
I don’t have time to judge others while I’m digging two graves for me and Target.

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

It’s useful to think about things like this in numbers of tenure track professors.
$53M is 575 assistant professors. Or more than thirty percent of the total number of full-time faculty at LSU.

US Citizenship and Immigration Services is indefinitely halting all immigration requests involving Afghan refugees.
They are pretending that they are doing this in response to today's shooting in DC—but in fact, they ordered this *before* the shooting.

The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

Any viable left-populist economic coalition in a diverse polity has to include people whose economic exploitation is experienced through racialized and gendered forms.
You can’t ask them to bracket out those concerns as a precondition for solidarity that… just doesn’t make any goddamn sense.
