Important victory for rank and file educators ❤️❤️ Thank you comrades

“Tonight my union voted to get cops off CUNY campuses and for the AFL-CIO parent union to disaffiliate with cop unions!! This would not have happened without Rank and File Action.
RAFA activists created the resolution, the PSC took out the union bit out, RAFA activists put it back in, it passed overwhelmingly. I am very proud 🤩✨💋👨‍✈️❌#policefreeschools #policefreeunions #defundNYPD” —Boyda Josa

It’s a cliche to say that discourse on the internet is stupid—cliches are ofc often true, and describe the blatantly obvious. This is one of those cliches, definitely. The discourse is often very very silly, wrong, shallow, and aggressively unreflective …
And while that’s so true as to become a constant background refrain of the discourse itself ,
I think something else is *simultaneously* and equally true, but perhaps less immediately apparent. It’s certainly less often observed…

Risk taking is actually very important developmentally, across a life.
That said; one fact contrary to this is that young people are much more likely to identify as queer and trans and transition. When was a young person this seemed like and *was* a very very big risk, bigger than sex or drugs
It still is a big risk, so I’m not sure I buy the one-sided risk-averse catalogue as an explanation.

Now that we already have maxed out hospitals and still-rising Covid infection and death rate, mass evictions in winter with many times more looming, and have learned that, actually young people are dying from the virus...
Now that we know these conditions —viral and social—are also killing people at much higher rates through accidents, untreated medical conditions, overdose and exposure ....
Now that we know that warnings haven’t stopped people from traveling or large gatherings at anything like the degree needed and that going to work is a major cause of the continuing intensification of the pandemic

“In The German Ideology, Marx critiqued idealism’s treatment of consciousness as an autonomous social force devoid of material grounding. Marx argued that this philosophical phantasm attributes all human relations, activity, and “their chains and limitations” to consciousness.”
“By giving primacy to consciousness as such, social transformation is erroneously interpreted as merely a task or “a demand to interpret reality in another way, i.e. to recognise it by means of another interpretation,”

Very sad to hear of the passing of one of my teachers, Dr. Leith Mullings. I only took a couple classes with her but I learned so much —her comments on papers were very specific, exact. She taught many of my favorite anthropologists.
Her own work was incredibly prescient and radical, not just proposing but proving a lot of the implications and premises of Marxism and Black radical feminisms for Social Reproduction Theory.
Her leadership in the AAA made it much more of an organization anthropologists can be proud of.

I return often to her review essay “ INTERROGATING RACISM: Toward an Antiracist Anthropology” and to “STRESS AND RESILIENCE: THE SOCIAL CONTEXT OF REPRODUCTION IN CENTRAL HARLEM, “
