There’s a PhD to be written on whether people with PhDs should validate fascism and racism by engaging with their talking points as if data matters.

put street trees everywhere you can in a neighborhood, make curb cuts so that their roots can absorb storm water from the street, grow native plants around their base, check back in five years and count how many welfare and health measures have improved

Ruth Wilson Gilmore said, β€œNo abolitionist who is a true abolitionist wants to save money. What we want is for the money to be spent, to enhance, and support human life so that it can flourish in a way that doesn’t destroy the planet. We’re not about cost-savings.” Save lives, not money.

WOW. A lawyer told @miamiherald.com that a Florida Highway Patrol agent told her that they are calling Border Patrol to investigate anyone who "appears Hispanic" that they pull over.

That is direct evidence of racial profiling β€” said over the phone to a lawyer! They aren't even hiding it!

Border and Rule An urgent, global account of the migration crisis and the function of borders across political, social, cultural, and economic systems.

I cannot emphasize enough how important the book Border and Rule by @harshawalia.bsky.social is, if you are truly interested in understanding how we got to "Alligator Alcatraz" and what we'll need to do to dismantle the crimmigration complex

But it offsets these expensive tax cuts in part through what several experts said may prove to be the most dramatic reductions in safety net spending in modern U.S. history. While last-minute changes to the bill text make precise estimates impossible, the legislation appears on track to cut Medicaid by about 18 percent and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by roughly 20 percent, according to estimates based on projections from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

There's a lot to be said about identity, solidarity. But a simple place to start: the people who are willing to fight for their neighbors when their neighbors have different problems have a very, very good chance of having neighbors to fight with when you all share problems

🚨🚨🚨 The Supreme Court has just allowed Trump to strip as many as 350,000 people of legal status, effectively IMMEDIATELY.

Every Venezuelan granted TPS through the July 31, 2023 designation has been rendered undocumented as of now, significantly increasing the undocumented population.

Public opinion is not a static object that politicians should blindly mirror--at some point you actually have to fight for what you believe and doing so can shape public opinion

Most of the high profile people who have recently been snatched off the streets and threatened with deportation over their political speech or deported to El Salvador were union laborers, and I really do not think that is just a coincidence

America Has Gotten Coretta Scott King Wrong Her ghostwritten autobiography diminishes her, and I found out why.

Today would have been Coretta Scott King’s 98th birthday. She was more of an activist than MLK when they met, his political partner, & the β€œfamily leader” on issues of global piece and anti-colonialism. From my research for KING OF THE NORTH: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Criminalization is not only a primary tool to suppress dissentβ€”it's at the core of how authoritarian and fascist agendas are enacted and legitimized. Challenging criminalization in our strategies for resistance is essential.

We read these ten "modern" plagues from this Haggadah (ccar) first published in 1974. Some years some feel more relevant, some years others.

Immigrant women describe 'hell on earth' in ICE detention No shower for days, cameras trained on the toilet, women crammed into cells 'like sardines,' among the allegations.

3 dead so far at Krome ICE detention center in Florida. Max capacity was 500, they have over 4,000 and not enough water and food. Reports say they get 1 cup of water per day.

These are already death camps.

Reconsidering Reparations

Reconsidering Reparations is a book with profound implications for our views of justice, racism, the legacies of slavery and colonialism, and climate policy.

This is a do-or-die moment for the whole labor movement

Will organized labor step up to meet Trump's existential challenge head on? Or will unions stick to purely legal challenges, press conferences, and scattered small-scale protests?

Trump's executive order tonight has illegally cancelled union contracts for 67% of the federal workforce & 75% of unionized federal employees β€” roughly 700,000 union workers

This may be the single biggest attack on the labor movement in American history

-if ICE comes to your car?
-STAY IN THE CAR!
