I’ve lived the impact of U.S. immigration policies firsthand—watching my stepfather get incarcerated and deported. In this video, I break down the harmful realities of Trump's immigration agenda, how ICE operates as a tool of state violence, and why abolition—not reform—is the only way forward. From personal experience to historical context, this is a deep dive into borders, criminalization, and resistance. Let’s talk about what’s really happening and what we can do to fight back.

In this episode of INTRO TO. BLACK ANARCHISM, we’re breaking down the idea of “anarchist calisthenics”—a theory about practicing small acts of disobedience to build the muscles for bigger resistance. Inspired by James C. Scott’s Two Cheers for Anarchism, we’ll explore how poor and marginalized people have long used quiet acts of defiance to survive capitalism and exploitation. From everyday rule-breaking to collective resistance, these small moments add up to something bigger.

In this episode, we delve into the anticipated changes under President-elect Donald Trump's second term, focusing on his proposed policies in education and immigration. We explore the potential dismantling of the Department of Education, the introduction of universal school choice, and the impact on LGBTQIA protections. Additionally, we examine the administration's plans for immigration reform, including mass deportations, the end of birthright citizenship, and the merging of ICE and Border Patrol. Join us as we analyze these developments and discuss their implications for the future.---------------------------------------------ARTICLES MENTIONED… "A Look at the Potential Impact of Shutting Down the Department of Education" – NPR, November 14, 2024.

In this episode, we delve into the intersections of desirability politics, revolutionary violence, and media spectacle, exploring how attractiveness shapes public perceptions of political acts. Using the Luigi Manjoni case as a focal point, we ask: Why does his "hotness" dominate the narrative? How does desirability dilute or amplify revolutionary discourse? Drawing on texts like Blood in My Eye by George Jackson and Belly of the Beast by Deshaun Harrison, we examine how aesthetics, anti-blackness, and capitalism intersect to influence activism, media, and power. Join us as we unpack the complexities of desire as both an entry point and obstacle to meaningful political action. Check the show notes for resources to continue the conversation!

In the second half of our conversation with Mutt, we explore the transformative potential of Black anarchism through the lens of Muntjac’s work and the radical publishing efforts of Sedition Press. Mutt shares insights on Black diasporic life, politics, and resistance against the forces of Babylon.
We discuss topics like:
Intersectional critiques of activism and patriarchy within movements. The revolutionary legacy of Black autonomous politics. Anti-racist organizing in the UK and global solidarity. Community self-defense against fascism and the state.-
