Between this and the closure of Dudley House, it looks like @harvard.edu is systematically shutting down spaces that supported student activists. PBH is part of why our Living Wage Campaign was possible. Reporting from @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social: www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...

Even though I never met Raúl Pacheco-Vega in person and he wouldn't have known who I am today's note of his loss has left me feeling sad and bereft. He was such a clear and always deeply sound voice in academia. And I benefitted from his resources on academic writing.

This is a devastating loss. Dr Raúl Pacheco-Vega, a UBC alumnus and former UBC faculty member, was a warm and engaging human being who put great effort into supporting students and other early career researchers develop their scholarship. Such an authentic person. He will be greatly missed.

I learned so much from the resources that Raúl Pacheco-Vega generously wrote and shared. Really saddened to see the news of his passing today.

A friend just shared that There Is No Place for Us is a bestseller at Charis, my favorite bookstore here in Atlanta. Especially cool to be alongside @chanda.blacksky.app's The Edge of Space-Time!

Extreme weather is driving up the cost of food, electricity, and home insurance. Tech barons and fossil fuel execs are exploiting communities. @cplusc.bsky.social new strategic framework/agenda charts a path forward to rebalance power for the working class and address the climate crisis at scale.

🚨🚨 Today, we’re launching “Stop Greed Build Green,” a strategic framework and agenda to confront the affordability crisis and the climate crisis together by putting working people in charge of the economy and the climate transition. (1/10)

Remarkably well-written and interesting. Thanks for getting me, UNC Press.

I know it's risky to read much into state-level elections, but the difference in these two maps is pretty striking. The left shows county-level votes for Trump and Harris in 2024 in Wisconsin. The right shows the results of yesterday's Supreme Court race, where the Democrat won in a landslide.

Oakland and the Ghosts of Urbicide

A specter of Blackness haunts Oakland, California, lingering palpably in cultural and material landscapes that have been shaped by generations of Black Oaklanders.

Today the paperback of THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US is out. It's arriving in a country once again waging war—a country that can spend tens of billions on bombs without blinking, while millions of Americans are one missed paycheck, one rent hike away from homelessness. Let's take stock of where we are.

I am happy to start my newly designed module on Racialised and Gendered Cities next week. This 36-hours class is an optional offering for second-year students of our Master's Degree in Geography. I hope students will like it! www.michelelancione.eu/blog/2026/02...

I find it is interesting that the President’s House situation has fully activated the political establishment in Philly. Not a bad thing—removing the signs is a travesty—but there are many things Trump is doing that are directly harming Philadelphians and which Mayor Parker refuses to address.
