The Resistant Communiqués Collective is extremely privileged to present Season II, Episode IV, with Dr. Karma R. Chávez, Professor and President of the AAUP Chapter at UT Austin, co-founder of UT Austin Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine, and the co-editor of The Higher Ed Advocate.

In 2026, Pride has been hollowed out, and gender and ethnic studies are under concerted and coordinated attack, as nonprofits and universities work to turn radical queer struggle into something safe, manageable, and profitable. In this June Pride episode of Resistant Communiqués, Karma R. Chávez, Professor and AAUP President at UT-Austin, draws on years of immigrant justice, queer organizing, anti-prison and anti-policing work, and higher education fights to track how queer politics shifted from liberation to respectability, and what it will take to pull it back.

As chair of a Texas ethnic studies department, Karma traces how radical queer politics rooted in Black, Indigenous, and racially minoritized peoples’ organizing, AIDS activism, and student demands for Black Studies gave rise to gender and ethnic studies, and how those same formations are now being dismantled. Moving from Palestine to South Africa, and from campus struggles in the US, she connects today’s attacks on gender and ethnic studies education and Pride to longer histories of repression. Karma insists on transnational solidarity, rigorous study, and collective joy and creativity as the conditions for a culture of resistance that can last.

Our Collaborator this month, Karma R. Chávez, has studied queer and trans politics and movements, as well as Black, Indigenous, and racially minoritized peoples’ politics and movements, and is deeply involved in the fight for Gender and Ethnic Studies in Higher Education. Karma connects Pride, gender and ethnic studies, and transnational struggle to the broader fight against authoritarianism and fascism.

Karma R. Chávez is Chair and Bobby and Sherri Patton Professor in the Department of Mexican American and Latina/o Studies at the University of Texas - Austin. She is the author of Queer Migration Politics: Activist Rhetoric and Coalitional Possibilities (University of Illinois Press, 2013); Palestine on the Air (University of Illinois Press, 2019); and The Borders of AIDS: Race, Quarantine, and Resistance (University of Washington Press, 2021). Chávez is a co-founder of her university’s Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine and president of the AAUP Chapter at UT Austin.

A wealth of knowledge, we are pleased to provide you with an extended June episode with Karma, as we will be on our upcoming summer break in July and August.

We are pleased to return after a brief spring break as we transition to bring on more Co-Collaborators and Collective Members as we continue to grow. We appreciate our co-learners’ patience as we continue to architect the critical, sustainable infrastructure to maintain the analysis of the Resistant Communiqués Collective and Podcast, ensuring rich and robust decolonial interviewing, research, and practice.

Due to our brief April absence, we are pleased to bring you an extended May episode.

The Resistant Communiqués Collective is incredibly honored to present Season II, Episode III, with teacher and writer Alana Lentin, and the author of The New Racial Regime: Recalibrations of White Supremacy (Pluto, 2025).

In the wake of George Floyd’s murder in 2020, there was a short-lived boom in highly visible corporate DEI. But as soon as it entered public awareness, it sparked a vicious backlash from conservatives, including Christopher Rufo. What was DEI “worth” in a real sense, and how did attacks on critical race theory prefigure the Trump Administration’s current behavior?

Our guest this month, Alana Lentin, has studied this phenomenon and discusses a global perspective on racism, white supremacy, zionism, and the direction that settler-colonial states are headed in.

Teacher and writer, Alana Lentin, is a Jewish anti-Zionist European woman who is a settler on Gadigal-Wangal land. She works on the critical theorization of race, racial capitalism, and antiracism and is Professor of Cultural and Social Analysis at Western Sydney University. She is the author of The New Racial Regime: Recalibrations of White Supremacy (Pluto 2025) and Why Race Still Matters (Polity 2020). Previously, she published The Crises of Multiculturalism: Racism in a neoliberal age with Gavan Titley (Zed, 2011), Racism: A beginner’s guide (2008), and Racism and Antiracism in Europe (Pluto, 2004). She co-edits the Lexington Books ‘Challenging Migration Studies’ books series and the ‘Decolonization and Social Worlds’ series at Bristol University Press. She is a member of the Founding Collective of the Institute for the Critical Study of Zionism (ICSZ). Her academic and media articles, as well as videos, podcasts, and teaching materials, are free to be used and available at www.alanalentin.net

Here is our interview with Alana…

The Resistant Communiqués Collective is incredibly honored to present Season II, Episode II, with Award-Winning New York Times Best-Selling Author and movement worker, Ijeoma Oluo, entitled, “Resistant Communiqués: General Strikes, Abolition & Building Community Power to Resist State Repression with Ijeoma Oluo”.

The term “General strike” has surged in prominence in 2026, particularly in the wake of the ICE occupation of Minneapolis and the general strike and walkout on January 23 this year. But it’s also a widely misused term because of the difficulty of organizing and coordinating such a widespread labor action. How do you coordinate among so many different groups? It’s not something that you can immediately leap into, especially when people are often so disconnected even from their neighbors.

Our guest this month, Ijeoma Oluo, offers valuable insights into the history of labor actions and strategies for making a General Strike feasible. To make mass labor activism possible, we must effectively organize multiracial coalitions in a society where systemic racism, patriarchy, ableism, queerphobia, and more are the norm. This means learning about solidarity and how to practice it. It also necessitates adopting a truly abolitionist perspective: encouraging communities to move beyond carceral approaches, behaviors, and logics. It ensures communities can move beyond relying on carceral entities, while also offering grace, support, and understanding to people as they learn and grow.

Welcome to Season 2 of Resistant Communiqués!

First, we want to thank our incredible listeners and co-learners. The Resistant Communiqués Podcast hit Substack’s top 100 Rising in Education the first week of January 2026! Thank you. We are forever grateful to our listeners for their support.

Now, onto our first episode of our second season…

As we end February, the Resistant Communiqués Collective is honored to present Season II, Episode I of the Resistant Communiqués Podcast, “Resistant Communiqués: Journalism, Social Media, and the Age of Disinformation with Anna Lekas Miller”, featuring Anna Lekas Miller, an award-winning author and journalist who tells intimate stories of love, migration, and resistance across borders.

Our first episode of the second season comes at a critical time. The information ecosystem of the 21st century is overwhelming. The internet makes it possible to receive more information than ever before, but it also amplifies sources of disinformation and rumor. Social media makes connections easier, but it also rewards inflammatory content and creates feedback loops that can distort audiences’ grasp of reality. Even as it boosts the reach of traditional journalism and news, those sources have been undermined by the Internet’s business model and other socioeconomic forces. The result is akin to trying to drink from a fire hose.

Our incredible guest this month is Journalist and award-winning author of Love Across Borders, Anna Lekas Miller. Anna discusses the historical and contemporary impact of disinformation and misinformation in today’s political landscape, the impact on the ICE occupation of Minneapolis, and the state of journalism and social media.

We will learn about some of the limitations placed on journalists in this environment, the sometimes-toxic role of social media and artificial intelligence (AI), the possibilities inherent in new forms of citizen journalism, and how we can build better, more ethical information ecosystems.

Anna Lekas Miller is an award-winning author and journalist who tells intimate stories of love, migration, and resistance across borders. As a journalist, she has lived in and reported from Palestine, Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq, where she covered the stories of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation and Syrians fleeing Assad’s regime. She chronicled the fall of ISIS in Iraq and the great migration of refugees to Europe.

While conflict reporters often report from a distance from their stories, Anna’s life was shaped by it--her partner, Syrian journalist Salem Rizk, was kicked out of Turkey and needed to seek asylum in the United Kingdom. This journey inspired Anna to explore how people’s love lives are shaped by borders and migration, culminating in her first book, Love Across Borders, which weaves together the real-life love stories of refugees and immigrants who have stood up to border regimes to be together. The book won the 2024 Arab American Book Award and has galvanized countless discussions about border policies and their impact on ordinary people across the United States.

Since October 7th, Anna has returned to her roots, reporting on Palestine and drawing on her Middle East reporting to dispel disinformation while developing a novel that satirizes Western media coverage of the Middle East. At this moment, she is focused on dispelling the Trump administration’s narratives on migrant communities and giving people the tools they need to resist ICE and advocate for their neighbors.

We learned a lot as a collective this season, and we appreciate having our audience as participants in this process.

We are so fortunate to have received incredible feedback individually from many of our co-learners and listeners.

Now, onto our Special End-of-Season December episode.

The Resistant Communiqués Collective is incredibly honored to present our first special end-of-season episode, “Special End-of-Season Episode! Resistant Communiqués: Bringing Liberation Activism Home By Working Abroad with Prexy Nesbitt” (Season I, Episode VII), featuring Prexy Nesbitt, an activist and teacher who has spent his life involved in Transnational Liberation struggles.

December is a vitally important month in the history of people of African descent. In the United States, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to yield her bus seat on December 1, 1955; Martin Luther King, Jr. inaugurated the Poor People’s Campaign on December 4, 1967; and the 13th Amendment that ended chattel slavery was ratified on December 6, 1865. In Africa, the Ivory Coast, Tanzania, and Kenya all received their independence in December, and December 16 is South Africa’s National Day of Reconciliation. This significance runs right up to the present: the Jasmine Revolution began in Tunisia on December 17, 2010, when Tunisian street vendor, Mohamed Bouazizi, self-immolated outside a government building, in an act of despair in protest against widespread unemployment and poverty, government corruption, and state repression. The Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia was the first, sparking a series of revolutions culminating in the Arab Spring against authoritarian regimes across the region.

Today, we are witnessing a global reactionary movement in support of white supremacy, from North America to Europe. Donald Trump’s naked, crude racism has come to dominate both domestic and foreign policy, with Trump suggesting that Somalis in this country should be denaturalized and deported, and on the other hand, engaging in violence against people of color. On Christmas Day, the U.S. military carried out strikes in Nigeria, allegedly to support Christians being attacked by Nigerian Muslims.

Our guest this month is Prexy Nesbitt, a longtime Chicago activist who spent decades working to support the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa and the fight for freedom in Namibia, Mozambique, Angola, Guinea-Bissau, and Zimbabwe. Nesbitt’s history and experience illustrate that the struggles for liberation and dignity cannot be separated, and that, moreover, we strengthen our own movement by supporting others.

Prexy Nesbitt grew up on Chicago’s West Side. After graduating from Francis Parker School, he went to Antioch College in Ohio and earned his degree in 1967. He then continued his studies at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, Northwestern University, and Columbia University.

Nesbitt was highly active in labor and equality movements. In 1976, he became national coordinator and field organizer for the Bank Withdrawal Campaign of the American Committee on Africa. In 1978, he was named director of the Africa Project at the Institute of Policy Studies in Washington, D.C. The following year, he was appointed program director and secretary for research at the World Council of Churches in Geneva, Switzerland. In 1986, Mayor Harold Washington appointed him a special assistant. The following year, Mozambique’s government chose him as a consultant to represent its interests in the United States, Canada, and Europe, a role he held until 1992.

In 1993, he was appointed senior program officer for the Program on Peace and International Cooperation at the MacArthur Foundation, where he remained until 1996, when he was named dean of community engagement and diversity. During this time, Nesbitt also taught African and American history at Francis W. Parker School and African history at Columbia College. He continued to teach until 2023.

As we end November, the Resistant Communiqués Collective is honored to present Season I, Episode VI of the Resistant Communiqués Podcast, “Resistant Communiqués: Indigenous Geographies and A More Just Future with Dr. Niiyokamigaabaw Deondre Smiles”, featuring Dr. Niiyokamigaabaw Deondre Smiles, an Indigenous geographer whose current work focuses on Indigenous land relations and Indigenous cultural resurgence in an era of climate crisis.

November is Native American Heritage Month in the United States, and it comes at a particularly critical time for Indigenous communities globally. The Trump Administration is no supporter of Native Americans: its policies thus far are a mix of heavy budget cuts to health services and education, and attempts to open up land for resource extraction. This is in conjunction with an assault on climate policies and renewed support for fossil fuels. Taken to their logical ends, these policies disproportionately threaten Indigenous communities.

However, doomerism is not the path forward. Dr. Niiyokamigaabaw Deondre Smiles is a professor of geography at the University of British Columbia who studies geography with the benefit of Indigenous knowledge systems and perspectives. He works to decolonize a perspective and a science that were very much products of an imperialist worldview, and in so doing showcases how, collectively, we can break out of the cycles of destruction and harm we inhabit by studying indigenous ways of understanding the world.

Our phenomenal guest, Dr. Niiyokamigaabaw Deondre Smiles (Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe), is an adjunct professor in the Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability at the University of British Columbia. Smiles is an Indigenous geographer whose current work focuses on Indigenous land relations and Indigenous cultural resurgence in an era of climate crisis. They direct the Geographic Indigenous Futures Collaboratory, one of Western Canada’s first Indigenous geographies-focused research groups. You can learn more about Dr. Smiles’ work at his website deondresmiles.com and the Geographic Indigenous Futures Collaboratory at geographicindigenousfutures.ca.

As we wrap up October, the Resistant Communiqués Collective is honored to present Season I, Episode V of the Resistant Communiqués Podcast, “Resistance at Home and Abroad: Palestinian Solidarity with Dr. Eman Abdelhadi”, featuring Dr. Eman Abdelhadi, a leader in the Palestinian Liberation movement.

In our timely discussion, we discuss the history of Palestine, resistance, the contemporary Red Scare, solidarity, and movement steps forward. We are incredibly grateful to our guest, Dr. Eman Abdelhadi, for her time discussing these critical issues and for her insights on how to build our movement.

Our incredible guest, Eman Abdelhadi, is a scholar, organizer, and writer based in Chicago. She is an Assistant Professor of Sociology in the Department of Comparative Human Development at the University of Chicago. Her research focuses on Arab and Muslim communities in the United States, and has been cited by NPR, The Washington Post, the Associated Press, and other outlets. She co-wrote the revolutionary sci-fi novel Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052–2072 (Common Notions Press, 2022), and co-edited a “Queer Palestine” issue of Pinko magazine published in 2024. She also writes a regular column on Palestine and politics for In These Times magazine, and her essays have appeared in Jacobin, Truthout, Zeteo, and other publications. Abdelhadi is the subject of Coming Around, a feature-length documentary. A long-time organizer in the movement for Palestinian liberation, she is active in Scholars for Justice, Faculty & Staff for Justice in Palestine, and the AAUP at the University of Chicago.

The ongoing genocide in Palestine has led to a seismic shift in how many Americans see Israel: across age, ethnicity, and even political affiliation, there has been a marked turn against the Israeli government. And yet, party leaders on both sides of the aisle are fighting to try to tamp down on any dissent over support for Israel while maintaining armed and economic support for the Netanyahu government. While the recently announced ceasefire was met with initial relief, it has already been violated multiple times by the IDF -- and food continues to be scarce in Gaza.

To discuss the long history of global solidarity with Palestine, we sat down with Dr. Eman Abdelhadi to discuss the history of Palestinian activism around the globe, what this ceasefire really amounts to, the connection between the ongoing persecution of Palestinians abroad and repression at home, and the future directions and orientations needed for effective activism to resist authoritarianism.

Here is our interview with Dr. Eman Abdelhadi.

We are pleased to return from a brief summer break with a new episode of Resistant Communiqués Podcast with Dr. Elizabeth Schmidt, “Race, Foreign Policy, and Africa: A Conversation with Dr. Elizabeth Schmidt.”

Dr. Elizabeth Schmidt is professor emeritus of history at Loyola University Maryland and president of the African Studies Association. She received her PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. A scholar-activist, she has written six books about Africa, covering US involvement in apartheid South Africa, women under colonialism in Zimbabwe, the nationalist movement in Guinea, and foreign intervention in Africa from the Cold War to the war on terror. Her current book project focuses on US and UK support for the white minority regime in Southern Rhodesia in the context of decolonization and the Cold War. Based on recently declassified documents in the US National Archives, it makes a plea for public historians to introduce the population at large to the lessons of history.

For most Americans, Africa is a misunderstood and largely ignored part of the world. The continent is flattened into one homogenous entity: its historical experiences are erased, and the common perception is that the whole continent is dysfunctional. Dated racist tropes and beliefs are still commonplace. The U.S. government has followed suit: apart from intervention as part of the Global War on Terror, Africa is given little attention. Under the Trump Administration, foreign aid commitments have been slashed. Dr. Elizabeth Schmidt is a historian of Africa and U.S. diplomacy who first became an academic at the height of the movement to oppose apartheid in South Africa. Her activism began with research opposing U.S. business involvement in the South African economy. Still, she went on to write multiple books on Southern Africa, decolonization, and foreign intervention on the continent. She spoke with us to discuss her work, the Trump Administration’s views on race and its impact on foreign policy, current U.S. foreign policy towards the continent, and both the challenges and opportunities available to university educators today.

Here is our interview with Dr. Schmidt.

The Resistant Communiqués Collective is ecstatic to present Season I, Episode III of the Resistant Communiqués Podcast this July, featuring an insightful discussion on the national protests resisting ICE, particularly in Los Angeles, California, with Ms. Guerline M. Jozef: "ICE Resistance & The Struggle for Human Rights in L.A.: Liberation, Black Resistance, & the Legacy of the Haitian Revolution with Guerline Jozef, Founder, & Executive Director of the Haitian Bridge Alliance". In it, we discuss national protests against ICE, the Haitian community in the United States, and the history of Haiti.

The Trump Administration, flush with cash from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, has transformed ICE into the most significant and best-funded policing force in history. As we finished this episode, news broke that the Trump Administration was going to begin deporting Haitian green-card holders and those with TPS status under the guise of fighting Viv Ansanm, a Haitian gang and "terrorist" organization. As with Venezuelans, while those who will be facing deportation allegedly have criminal ties, in practice, most of those who will experience targeting have no criminal history and have no links to Viv Ansanm. What they're preparing for is a massive anti-immigrant purge that will happen nationwide, with the summer's LA protests an opening salvo in what's to come.

The recent news from the Trump Administration and the U.S. State Department makes our discussion with Ms. Guerline M. Jozef all the more critical. Ms. Guerline M. Jozef, a Haitian-American, serves as the Executive Director of the Haitian Bridge Alliance and is a human rights advocate. In our conversation, Guerline explains the effect that this immigration crackdown has had on the Haitian community and contextualizes it within the long history of U.S.-Haitian relations, as well as the Haitian Revolution.

The Haitian Revolution was an early blow struck for human rights: Haitians led the vanguard in fighting for the essential dignity of all people and an end to chattel slavery. Today, Haiti is spoken of disparagingly, but it was a potent symbol of freedom throughout the 19th century. Abolitionist Frederick Douglass said in 1893 that:

"We should not forget that the freedom you and I enjoy to-day; that the freedom that eight hundred thousand colored people enjoy in the British West Indies; the freedom that has come to the colored race the world over, is largely due to the brave stand taken by the black sons, of Haiti ninety years ago".

Our incredible guest, Ms. Guerline M.

The Resistant Communiqués Collective is ecstatic to present Season I, Episode III of the Resistant Communiqués Podcast this July, featuring an insightful discussion on the national protests resisting ICE, particularly in Los Angeles, California, with Ms. Guerline M. Jozef: "ICE Resistance & The Struggle for Human Rights in L.A.: Liberation, Black Resistance, & the Legacy of the Haitian Revolution with Guerline Jozef, Founder, & Executive Director of the Haitian Bridge Alliance". In it, we discuss national protests against ICE, the Haitian community in the United States, and the history of Haiti.

The Trump Administration, flush with cash from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, has transformed ICE into the most significant and best-funded policing force in history—the Imperial Boomerang returned home. As we finished this episode, news broke that the Trump Administration was going to begin deporting Haitian green-card holders and those with TPS status under the guise of fighting Viv Ansanm, a Haitian gang and "terrorist" organization. As with Venezuelans, while those who will be facing deportation allegedly have criminal ties, in practice, most of those who will experience targeting have no criminal history and have no links to Viv Ansanm. What they're preparing for is a massive anti-immigrant purge that will happen nationwide, with the summer's LA protests an opening salvo in what's to come.

The recent news from the Trump Administration and the U.S. State Department makes our discussion with Ms. Guerline M. Jozef all the more critical. Ms. Guerline M. Jozef, a Haitian-American, serves as the Executive Director of the Haitian Bridge Alliance and is a human rights advocate. In our conversation, Guerline explains the effect that this immigration crackdown has had on the Haitian community and contextualizes it within the long history of U.S.-Haitian relations, as well as the Haitian Revolution.

The Haitian Revolution was an early blow struck for human rights: Haitians led the vanguard in fighting for the essential dignity of all people and an end to chattel slavery. Today, Haiti is spoken of disparagingly, but it was a potent symbol of freedom throughout the 19th century. Abolitionist Frederick Douglass said in 1893 that:

"We should not forget that the freedom you and I enjoy to-day; that the freedom that eight hundred thousand colored people enjoy in the British West Indies; the freedom that has come to the colored race the world over, is largely due to the brave stand taken by the black sons, of Haiti ninety years ago".
