I don’t know who needs to hear this so I’ll shout it:

My team & I are analyzing 100 interviews we conducted all over France this past year, and one of my fantastic research assistants noticed (before the racist and demonizing media coverage of the protests) fears around "sécurité" via far-right media hyperfocus on crime & "safety"

It takes a lot to shock me after studying social movements and social media for over two decades but the racist framing of the protests led by students all over France organizing for basic supplies, teachers, and bearable conditions is astounding

Marx wrote this condemning the slaughter of up to 20,000 people by French government troops (La Semaine sanglante - Bloody Week) in the wake of Paris Commune activists having set fire to buildings of the wealthy, including a palace.

“The bourgeoisie of the whole world, which looks complacently upon the wholesale massacre after the battle, is convulsed by horror at the desecration of brick and mortar!”
