i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Sitting in his Senate office this week with canisters of Planters peanuts and hundreds of scattered papers on his desk and signed MAGA hats on his shelves, Graham was almost giddy about persuading Trump to bomb Iran.
One of the newer hats reads "Make Iran Great Again." "What are they going to do to me?" he said of critics who opposed his efforts.
The senator said he was already talking with Trump about further military interventions in Lebanon and potentially Cuba, which he said would happen soon. He wasn't particularly concerned about what was next in Iran, he said.

"I didn't see a single building standing the entire time I was in Gaza. I didn't see one building intact or standing.

Everything was flattened. And when I mean flattened, it was hard to even tell that they were buildings there before."

Thinking about this latter group all week - the thousands of African young people sold dreams of employment in the Gulf, often by their own government. Already some of the most precarious existences in the legal world now stuck in a war they don’t understand, in languages they don’t speak.

At least 148 dead after reported strike on school, Iran says Iran has blamed the US and Israel for the strike; the US is looking into reports of the incident, while the IDF says it is

The mass murder of civilians in Gaza, the brazen attacks on hospitals and schools, without any accountability has created a new kind of warfare that should terrify and enrage all of us.

$289 / $500 - thank you to everyone who has helped so far. I cannot tell you how much it means to me.

(Also - keep your fingers crossed for me - they’re supposed to be calling references either today or Monday for the job i interviewed for, so here’s hoping mine are on that list!)

Quite aside from whether it was a good idea to exploit it in the first place, it is staggering just how wasted the immense wealth of north sea oil and gas has been by the u.k government. This vast wealth just gone into various pockets, essentially zero used to save for rainy days or invested.

Victims in our countries seldom get profiled and humanised in Western media. This is a portrait of a life cut short. What a tragedy.

"Saleh Ahmed (55) lived in the UAE as an expat for 25 years, sending under Β£500 per month in earnings to Bangladesh for his wife and four children."

Rocky Myers, a Black man from Decatur, Alabama, is still locked up for a crime he didn’t commit. His lawyer, former corporate counsel for the United Klans of America, told me if he had to do it all over again, he’d seat an all-white jury this time. Please take a moment with this story.

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

The real education of the masses can never be separated from their independent political, and especially revolutionary, struggle. Only struggle educates the exploited class.

Only struggle discloses to it the magnitude of its own power, widens its horizon, enhances its abilities, clarifies its mind, forges its will.
