It is now available for pre-order.
 mhpbooks.com/books/midnight…
The news coming from India is dire as every day brings news of more death and devastation.
I hope to use the book and the conversations as a way to center on what's happening in India.
This is not a moment for celebration, but I hope the conversations, arguments, and ideas in the book resonates and opens new possibilities for dissent and the future of borders and citizenship.
Do buy from your local book stores.
At the end of 8 years, it feels like I have lived several lives.
Grateful to everyone who made this possible. @dgaf_latte and @VonCleland for the love they brought to this book.
Book cover designed by Marina Drukman, art director at @melvillehouse

Pressatatement from @jennyrowena,

Hany Babu, an undertrial prisoner in the #BhimaKoregaon case, who has been in custody since July 2020 without trial, has developed an acute eye infection in Taloja Jail.
“He has little or no vision in his left eye due to the swelling, which has spread to the cheek, ear and forehead, compromising other vital organs as well, and posing a significant risk to his life if it spreads to the brain.”
“He is in agonising pain and is unable to sleep or perform daily chores. Due to an acute water shortage in the prison, he does not have access to clean water to even bathe his eye and is forced to dress his eye with soiled towels.”

So @Tejasvi_Surya say he read a list given to him, claims that he simply read out the names he was given.
Who gave you the list, and why read an unverified list ?
Your apology still doesn’t count for the humiliation or harassment you put them through.

As India reeled from the devastating covid-19 deaths, it censored critical content on social media. @project_polis's @watchthestate was temporarily restricted twice in one week. @kiccovich and I write about this censorship for the @washingtonpost
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
Since March, as the Indian health infrastructure completely crumbled, social media platforms have become the de facto helplines where helpless citizens ask for help and offer mutual support.
To maintain a lived memory of the present and gather evidence to hold the state accountable, our account has been collecting and sharing instances of state violence from reliable news sources.
