....and there it is.

Anyone here familiar with her work? What do you find valuable in it?

I am fond of the Hegelian Marxist tradition of which she seems to be one of the leading theorists today. I am considering The Critique of Forms of Life and wondering if that’s a good place to start.

hopefully the post May 1 deadline gets the ball rolling tomorrow and y‘all get the offer you worked hard for, and have been patiently waiting for. wishing everyone deliverance and relief!

as yall saw the VRA was overturned this week. This was the law that was supposed to enforce the 15th Amendment- a constitutional intervention that Congress felt we couldn’t call ourselves a democracy without. We literally fought a civil war over this, yet here we are back at square one.

but here’s the thing that really gets me: we can’t talk about it honestly in public. I go in the other law related subs with the white folks, and obviously nobody is talking about it. This is massive development CONSTITUTIONAL LAW, but it’s race so it’s off limits.

I’m tired. We’re all tired. Whiteness is exhausting. But I’m going to law for US - to serve our people and lift them up - so I feel like I need to say something in those subs. The mods might boot me, but I don’t care at this point. As Du Bois put it, someone around here has to tell the truth.
