Very excited that my article “lush aftermath”—on plants, policing, and property—is finally out! I show how, in the aftermath of war, Indigenous Maya migrant plant nursery workers produce suburban property regimes.

All that remains of the southern Lebanese village of Aita al-Shaab.

The apartment where Muin Bseiso and Mahmoud Darwish wrote their joint poem "Letter to an Israeli Soldier" during the 1982 siege of Beirut, was bombed yesterday by the Israelis. Our siege is long.

Look at that. The attack you see in front of you targeted a funeral in a cemetery. All that fire power to kill Lebanese mourners in a funeral. Israel is demonic beyond comprehension

🇱🇧 Dans ce quartier de Beyrouth, on ne compte plus les morts civiles des bombes israéliennes. On est dans le centre ville, dans une zone civile densément peuplée ; gens ici sont terrorisés Le crime de guerre dans son absolu

Conflicting info on whether Pretti was murdered by ICE or CBP makes it clear that ICE is not single "rogue agency" ICE, CBP and ALL policing & borders must be abolished. This isnt one agency; its infrastructure of carceral control, illegalization & criminalization, and fascism.
