Brockhampton's Kevin Abstract On Making Art to Survive, Therapy with Friends, and Forgiveness

For Pride month, GQ called up playwright Jeremy O. Harris to sit down with the young leader of the rap collective for a raw, far-ranging con

Home is some convoluted mix of both and neither.

Muna Mire in @maskmagazine's Alien issue I thought it didn't matter to me what home was, I thought I didn't have to fix it in place but lately I can't stop thinking about its constitution, its conditions.

Even seeing police violence is bad for you.

I wrote about cop watching (sousveillance) and what it does to your mental health, my first piece for The New Republic, which was, unsurprisingly, hard to write. I want us to realize that we are breakable people and that "doing the work" takes a toll. Be careful with yourselves always.

كأشخاص سود، نحن في الواقع لسنا جزء من مجتمع المسلمين العام؛ فمسموح لنا أن نمارس، لكن لا نشترك في الدين مع الأمة.

Muna Mire: ‘Towards a Black Muslim Ontology of Resistance’: “As Black folks, we are in practice not a part of the larger community of Muslims; we are allowed to practice, but we don’t share deen with the ummah.”

America is home to the most racially diverse group of Muslims in the world, but the community is still segregated. What does it mean to be seen as Muslim? As a legitimate believer? Whatever the answer, in the eyes of many U.S. Muslims today, it’s negated by Blackness. Black Muslims are a contradiction in terms—invisible despite being the foundation for the faith in the country. Black Muslims are not seen as true Muslims. And that is the moral equivocation that legitimizes and props up all manner of anti-Black racism in American Muslim community today.

A Recent Blockade For Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women Hasn't Swayed Stephen Harper | VICE Canada

The resources deployed by the OPP to monitor, surveil, and eventually disperse Brant and the blockade were, quite frankly, astounding. There were at least two cops to every protester, a fleet of vehicles (including, later, armoured vehicles), and aerial camera drones in use. And those are just the visible resources that what we know of. It’s a sad fact that Cheyenne Fox’s case doesn’t garner that sort of attention, and the way her case was handled is so often the rule, not the exception, when it comes to violence against Indigenous women and girls. Our government spends more time, money, and effort shutting down Indigenous protesters who want their missing and murdered women and girls found than it does trying to find those same victims. It’s a travesty at best that this has not been a priority for Canada, and it is cold hearted calculation at the worst.

The realization that the black men that I loved — my father, my brothers, my friends — men who certainly enjoyed some measure of privilege relative to me, were themselves deeply entrenched within a system of racist and hegemonic patriarchal values that called itself ‘masculinity,’ was very troubling to me. I understood then that the masculine cannot be constituted as one category, or one experience. --Muna Mire
