No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

Our secret-police immigration regime exists to maintain a vast servant class that lives in terror without rights. Unions threaten that.

UPDATE from the attacked Gaza aid ship:
They're trying to enter Maltese territory because of damage to the ship, and fears of a possible second attack.

The Maltese Coast Guard is allegedly blocking them.

Video from February, when Sen. John Fetterman got in an argument with a pilot about wearing his seatbelt so it was visible.

β€œSir, if you want to go to Pittsburgh, it's simple: you have to follow our instructions or you're gonna be asked to get off the airplane.”

I understand that the University is dying, and will eventually be replaced by some kind of new world of for profit online job training modules, but in the interregnum do we really have to endure the morbid symptoms of programs in "Leadership studies" and "Entrepreneurship"?

In Capital vol. 3, Marx writes that he wants to examine capitalism in its "idealen Durchschnitt." This is usually translated as "ideal average," but I believe a more accurate translation would be "ideal cross-section." I think this is a geological metaphor rather than a mathematical one. 1/5

Dear MarxistsπŸ’•

I just started working on a book on capitalism’s influence on our most intimate spaces and personal relationships with the worktitle β€œKapitalforhold”.
But I could use some help from my clever followers (thnx #DanishMarxism!) due to not having alot of people to burden with my projects

83% all plant life in Gaza destroyed: two devastating reports on Israel's genocide Two reports detail the hideous consequences of Israel's Western-facilitated genocide. And yet the Western media bury or ignore them altogether.

83% of plant life in Gaza has been destroyed.

Israel's genocide is making Gaza uninhabitable - and our media outlets are complicit by suppressing the truth.

The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue.

The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum.

Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?

While serving main character has been fun, we are also a serious academic organisation that organises a yearly conference of Marxist and radical scholarship in Denmark. This year, we had some 50 great papers and more than 150 registered attendants, and next year will be our ✨10TH ANNUAL CONFERENCEβœ¨πŸŽ‰

As the ICC finally issues arrest warrants for Israel’s leaders, here’s a promise.

To those who helped facilitate Israel’s genocide - Western politicians, media outlets, and journalists:

We will not rest until you are held accountable for the crime you helped commit.

Israel destroyed 83% of plant life in Gaza by June this year.

It destroyed 70% of its agricultural land.

It damaged or destroyed 65% of water tanks and 47% of groundwater wells.

Israel has deliberately tried to make Gaza uninhabitable. This is genocide.

Sorry but moving to another app does not make the horrors in Gaza disappear into thin β€˜blue’ air.

Proud to have co-authored this solidarity statement in support of our students who are bravely exercising their right to protest despite being criminalized in the press.
