Imagine a Democrat calling for the deportation of a Jewish Republican.

You can’t. It would never happen.

Our political and media elites talk nonstop about antisemitism while totally normalizing and amplifying the worst and most vicious Islamophobia.
Sickening:

Wednesday night this lady was above our bed. Took me 30 mins to catch as a recovering arachnophobic. Last night removed a wasp nest from under yurt at 4am (up with baby) swift cut from shovel removed the nest and hopefully killed none. I hope tonight is quieter and am happy to have not killed.

Here is the video for Shine! Inspired by my friend Deborah Frieze, who worked in activism too hard for too long - until she pushed the computer out of the way and danced!

Touring the UK and New England from July. Tickets in bio - share with a friend who wants to shine 🙂

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

Kate Nash shares powerful new single 'GERM': "If you are transphobic therefore you are not a feminist” Kate Nash has shared a powerful new single called ‘GERM’, which sees her celebrate the trans community and call out bigotry.

Proud to say that Kate Nash will be our Saturday night headliner this year at Left Field at Glastonbury Festival

Need inspiration and some soul nourishment? I’m grateful that this Thursday 8th May at 3pm EST/8pm UK @alastairmci will be joining our ‘Stick together’ single launch party; where does music come from, and what might it take to get radical now? I’ll post link Weds in this thread.

The first of May:
When the flowers break through the earth, When the sap rises in the trees, When the birds come back from the South.
Workers:
Be like the flowers,
Bloom in the strength of your unknown power,
Grow out of the passive earth, Grow strong with Union, All hands together-
To beautify this hour, this spring, And all the springs to come Forever for the workers!
Workers:
Be like the sap rising in the trees, Strengthening each branch,
No part neglected—
Reaching all the world.
All workers:
White workers, Black workers, Yellow workers,
Workers in the islands of the sea—
Life is everywhere for you,
When the sap of your own strength rises
Life is everywhere.
May Day!
May Day!
May Day!
When the earth is new, Proletarians of all the world:
Arise,
Grow strong, Take Power,
Till the forces of the earth are yours
From this hour.

Remembering Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu: Celebrated Educator, Author, and Advocate for Black Youth Dies The influential scholar and activist dedicated his life’s work to addressing educational disparities and uplifting the next generation of Black leaders.

Rest in power Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu. This man's books were blueprints growing up. He wrote over 40 books, mostly dedicated to uplifting and protecting Black youth. He is a giant in our culture and I am humbled to have stood on his shoulders.

Ice  flow below Niagara Falls

Ice flow below Niagara Falls

We did a ten day trip to Indiana to be with my wife’s family. On the way there my impulse was to drive all 800 miles in one day; I got sick and baby had a melt down. On way back we stopped at Niagara Falls for Night, had breakfast over looking them and went soft and are all healthy. Choose kind!
