Below are some of my public writings (and interviews) on Zapatista theory and practice, genetics and justice, physical cosmology and class struggle, as well as abolitionist history and organizing.
My collaborative work has been published in public outlets such as The Brooklyn Rail, Jacobin, Abolition Journal, Commune Magazine, In These Times, Verso and Science for the People Magazine.
Here you can also find interviews I conducted as a co-producer of Rustbelt Abolition Radio (RAR).

Tasting Abolition (RAR)
What’s in a name? Abolition, as a name, belongs to no one. Which is not to say that it belongs to everyone. Abolition inherits many names and so many other struggles. It is in itself a terrain of struggle. A terrain which, in the past few months, has become a tumultuous battlefield — perhaps ever more so than just months ago when we spoke of “survival pending abolition.”
