Gaza, south Lebanon, the West Bank, southwest Syria, this is the model that Israel wants across MENA: weak, permanently unstable, incapable of infrastructural reconstruction or administrative cohesion.

There are old videos on YouTube of their performances in the 70s and they're soooo amazing. Rock Lobster is a good example. Like listen to the guitar in that song, it goes so much harder than it has any right to

White House, Minnesota Supreme Court chief justice quietly negotiated deal over ICE enforcement in courts Four days later, chaos unfolded inside the Hennepin County Government Center.

This is disturbing. The Chief Justice of the MN Supreme Ct met with Homan, worked out an agreement, and never announced it publicly. ICE appeared to violate it days later by violently tackling a person in the Gov Center w/out a judicial warrant. We need transparency.

For theatres I think the answer would be Enter the Void but then I rewatched it and loved it?

I didn't see this in the theaters but the ending to Tar was the most racist thing I've seen in quite some time and I couldn't believe that most people didn't remark on it.

When the rubber hits the road Three veteran organizers discuss the on-the-ground work of organizing and putting the tradition of socialism from below to work.

"Within our workplaces, we aim to be the most consistent, strategic, and effective fighters around immediate issues that affect every single one of our members. Our role as socialists is . . . to build our members’ confidence, encouraging them to take a step in the direction of collective action."

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

I am a local labor journalist! I have already heard tons of stories about workplaces shutting down for the 23rd after huge collective workplace action by the employees. If you or your friend has organized your workplace to shut down on the 23rd, please send me deets!

Thanks Ian. There has been a lot of rank and file bravery this week. But still a ton of work to do in order for the rnf of unions to be empowered to do work for themselves

Two community members stand on the street corner of Central Ave and 18th St, watching over a local business in 5° temps with a wind chill of -15°. They are patrolling the area, keeping an eye out for ICE activity, doing what they can to protect their immigrant neighbors.

It’s ironic that they’re like “if we do ethnic cleansing we’ll have a high trust neighborly society” and then Minneapolis is literally doing high trust neighborly society and they’re like nooooo
