    "Let me begin with what stands out. 'Whites, Jews, and Us' is a stunning read. The subtle, brilliant, and often pained thoughts of a gifted scholar speak through the rhymes of a beautiful writer." Continue reading 's new essay at the link below.

    This is a catastrophe. In the last 48 hours, the Roberts court has upheld racist gerrymandering, the Muslim ban, anti-choice women’s ‘health’ centres and gutted trade unions. Incredibly, the worst is yet to come.

    In a letter to the president, Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy says he is retiring. 📄

    The problem is the progressivist rationalism of the left as much as the open chauvinism of the right towards these knowledges. I’m thinking of recent discussions rejecting Aboriginal practices in medical spaces as ‘anti-science’ for example.

    The response would be but we live in a euro/settler dominated world and we are all infected by its norms. Yes! But there are also those doing all they can to reconnect with a teach Indigenous knowledges.

    But what if ur ‘identity’ - in other words ur history/customs - teaches you love and care for the earth and all its inhabitants?

    On this I think the problem is being too based in euro texts and experiences. The anti idpol folk believe all idpol will essentially become white idpol (nationalist, imperialist, fascist) bc that is what their reading tells them.

    Since when does listening to what people have experienced amount to individualising/neoliberal and thus anti-political? This is where euro perspectives could really benefit from Indigenous emphasis on story as a collective (re)telling

    And how do we get people to collectivise their struggles if we never get to hear about what ppl’s experience is, because anyone can related them, and as the author says, all experiences are mediated? So a white man telling a Black woman’s story will filter it thru his experience.

    Because I’m pretty sure a few other oppressive regimes pre-existed neoliberalism.

    The author keeps saying that intersectionality has no critique of structural conditions of domination: fine. But frankly saying ‘it’s all neoliberalism’ doesn’t explain those conditions either.
