BREAKING: Mahmoud Khalil Can Be Deported, Immigration Judge Rules The judge said the Trump administration’s evidence – a two-page letter from Secretary of State Marco Rubio – is sufficient to deport Khalil under an obscure legal provision.

Chilling. They are saying that simply taking action in opposition to US foreign policy is grounds for deportation.

Think of the proud lineage of protests against US-backed wars, coups, torture...

trade war btwn imperialist allies (US & Canada) is means to use economic nationalism to rally behind otherwise status-quo. struggle between 'foreign' & 'domestic' capital maintains capitalism, hurts ppl through price gouging, reinforces racist nationalism & intensifies extraction on Indigenous lands

Tree planted on McGill campus for Haudenosaunee peace ceremony Amid continuing violence in the Middle East, Kanien’kehá:ka women say the symbolic gesture is a reminder peace is possible.

I've heard rumors that Palestinians in Gaza are getting their accounts taken down (cool and normal reasons I'm sure) so I'm threading a partial list of GoFundMes that I've personally supported, in the hopes that you will do the same!

The Trans Literature Preservation Project: A Practical Guide to Resisting Censorship Project 2025 wants to criminalize trans literature. Here’s a game plan for keeping our stories alive.
