@brettherron @CityofCT Brett is a very very desperate ex... Just looking for false gossip to take to the neighbors

Please pray for #ImtiazCajee. A true South African hero who has dedicated his life to attaining justice for abandoned victims of apartheid state killers... beginning with the 1971 death in detention of his uncle Ahmed Timol. A struggle too precious to be interrupted by Covid.

Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu has been admitted to hospital to receive treatment for a stubborn infection, Mrs Leah Tutu said today. The Archbishop has been hospitalised several times over the past few years for treatment of a similar condition. @TutuLegacy

"Binary and hierarchical ideologies, including racism, flourish in the intermediate, grey zones of implication and among ordinary subjects who serve, in Simona Forti's words, as 'transmission belts' of domination." Michael Rothberg #rrr_cpt2018

"Implicated subjects may not be conscious of their implication," Professor Michael Rothberg of UCLA tells the Reverberations of History conference at Stellenbosch University today. #rrr_cpt2018

Prof Rothberg on complexity of implicated subjects: As a US citizen he doesn't feel implicated in the State of Israel's actions, but as a member of the Jewish diaspora he somehow does. Are diasporic Jews who contribute funds to Israel implicated subjects? #rrr_cpt2018

The scope of restitution for historical injustices requires reaching beyond direct victims and perpetrators, "to include subjects who are neither victims nor perpetrators but are still somehow caught up in the events at stake". - Michael Rothberg #rrr_cpt2018

Prof Bhaba on the inflammatory language of politics: "In India, hate speech by ministers and government officials, mostly directed against Muslims, has increased by 500% over the past four years." #rrr_cpt2018

Prof Homi Bhaba: "The line up of inflated male leaders dominating the world, from Putin to Trump to Netanyahu, are politicians of miasma." #rrr_cpt2018
