Why is @CalStateLA professor Melina Abdullah identifying a specific ICE agent, telling a crowd where he may be staying, giving the street address, and repeatedly saying to “fuck him up”?

“Brian Palacios may be staying at the Hilton Garden Inn at 2000 Solar Drive… fuck him up.”

She later urges the crowd to read Blood in My Eye and “study guerrilla warfare.”

Abdullah later tried to broaden the meaning of “fuck him up,” saying it can include exposing agents or making them uncomfortable.

But that qualification comes only after she names a specific person, gives a possible location and street address, and repeatedly tells the crowd to “fuck him up.”

You can argue about the legal threshold. It is much harder to argue that this sequence would not reasonably be understood as putting a specific person in danger.

And yes, this all happened at yesterday’s PSL-affiliated La Defensa del Pueblo summit.

Abdullah was speaking on the summit’s closing panel alongside California State Senator Sasha Renée Pérez (@SashaReneePerez), The People’s Forum founder Manolo De Los Santos, PSL Central Committee member Karina Garcia, and moderator Kameron Hurt, himself a PSL organizer.

Former Irvine mayor Farrah Khan had also been advertised as a panelist, but did not participate on this panel.

The university’s own bio describes Melina Abdullah as a “womanist scholar-activist” and a leader of Black Lives Matter Los Angeles.

Abdullah has been celebrated again and again by the same institutions that are supposed to confer legitimacy.

Abdullah has received the YWCA’s Racial Justice Award, two Fannie Lou Hamer Awards, the California Teachers Association Human Rights Award, the Ella Baker Award, the Freedom Now Award, the Communitas Award, and the Sacred Sistahs Award.

She was also named one of LA Weekly’s ten most influential Los Angeles leaders, “Urban Girl of the Year” by 2UrbanGirls, and one of Fierce’s “15 Fiercest Sisters.”
