Paperback edition of There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America by Brian Goldstone

Paperback edition of There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America by Brian Goldstone

Today the paperback of THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US is out.

It's arriving in a country once again waging warβ€”a country that can spend tens of billions on bombs without blinking, while millions of Americans are one missed paycheck, one rent hike away from homelessness.

Let's take stock of where we are.

Iranian here. The loudest voices in the room do not represent all of our voices. You can be against the regime AND not want a war.

10 Years After Berta CΓ‘ceres’ Murder, Why Is Honduras Still So Dangerous for Environmental Activists? Despite some prosecutions, the criminal masterminds behind the Indigenous leader's murder remain at large, while illegal land grabs, international finance and attacks against defenders continues with ...

By me: Today marks 10 years since the assassination of Indigenous environmentalist Berta CΓ‘ceres, a rare leader whose death marked a before and after for many including me. Despite some justice, the extractive economic model and its criminal modus operandi continues apace.

As Trump Bombs Iran, We Need to Reckon With the American War Machine We cannot afford to slip into despair. We must push back against militarism everywhere, at every turn.

Essential reading. "We in the U.S. need to reckon with the fact that so much of our state wealth, capacity, and technology goes toward burying children in rubble."

Debunking the myth of Canada’s non-involvement in the Iraq war As the world considers the horrific legacy of the US-led invasion of Iraq, it is time we recognize that Canada was not an innocent bystander. Despite Jean ChrΓ©tien’s nationalist grandstanding and the ...

Due to Carney’s posturing, people’ll boast Canada also stayed out of Iraq. Wrong:
β€œIronically, the Canadian naval vessels, aircraft and personnel in the Persian Gulf… will provide more support indirectly to this war in Iraq than most of the 46 countries that are fully supporting our efforts there.”

The United States once again used negotiations as a cover for the attacks it intended to carry out regardless.

It is a declining empire determined to drag the rest of the world down with it β€” and Western allies are its eager lapdogs, despite all their invocations of international law.

When a country endorses something like US/Israel illegally starting a war with Iran, as Canada just has, they own a piece of it, whatever the outcome ends up being. And the worst part is we have absolutely no control over that outcome. We just signed onto it anyway.

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.
