The historic student protests continue. Yesterday at UCLA, our students maintained peace & purpose, ignoring incitement by counter protesters. Inside the liberated zone, there were study circles, music, camaraderie, art-making & more. Our students have become our teachers.

New article on the El Segundo Chevron refinery: "Half of [U.S.] imported Amazonian crude is processed by just 3 refineries within the Greater L.A. area… In this sense, the archetypal smog of the L.A. Basin consists of the incinerated underground of the Amazon rainforest." 😮

bell hooks’s work was the theory & methodology through which I made my own space in urban studies & planning. It was the foundation that the white canon couldn’t bear, the language it couldn’t speak. It freed me, a gift for which I am eternally grateful. Rest in Power.

bell hooks is to my mind the mother of much of the current black feminist theory we see today online and beyond. She is endlessly complex and her work is vast in scope. She is simply everything.

Look at any map of charging stations in the US, and in most of the big cities, what is immediately apparent are big blank spaces coinciding with Black and Latino neighborhoods. Electric vehicle advocates call them charging deserts. By @willenglund washingtonpost.com/business/…

#EdSoja's documents have now been roughly categorized at the Southern California Library. (Look at all that stuff!) Many gems to be found for the patient eye... P.S. They also have #ClydeWood's docs @BlackGeogs @uclaurbnplnning @UCLALuskin @ChallengeIneq @theAAG @CritPlanning

Last night, an enemy of our housing justice movement set fire to the ACCE office in San Diego & burned ACCE tee-shirts on the lawn. This is political terror meant to intimidate us, but it shows us just how fearful & repressive our enemies are. Share this.
