And only one of them was done by a state with the capacity to dominate and potentially eradicate a whole people.

Fairly rock'n'roll way these ladies made sure the garbage was collected in working class neighbourhoods in Chicago in the 1880s and 90s.

Dansk politiker en del af opbragt skib: - Jeg er blevet kidnappet Det danske folketingsmedlem Victoria Velasquez (EL) er en del af besætningen på et af de skibe fra nødhjælpsflotillen, der er blevet opbragt af Israels militær...

Det her er jo vanvittigt. Et dansk folketingsmedlem, der bortføres militært af en fremmed magt i et åbenlyst brud på folkeretten. Hvordan kan vi opretholde almindelige diplomatiske forbindelser med et sådan forbryderisk regime.

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

This is Brighton Park, the neighborhood where a U.S. Border Patrol agent also shot a woman earlier today. It is a predominantly Latine community on the southwest side.

Det her er en virkelig markant udvikling. Vi har gennem årtier (hvis ikke århundreder) været vant til at løngabet mellem mænd og kvinder bliver snævret ind. Men nu går det den anden vej.

Trods al den snak om krise for mænd og maskulinitet, er realiteten at vi stadig er langt fra ligestilling.

Pete Hegseth demands to “untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country.”

Donald Trump demands to use US cities "as training grounds for our military,” claiming “We’re under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy.”

Fascism.

His was one of the best analysis/ critique of the postwar Welfare State Capitalism that I have read.
Was planning to teach this book this semester.
Rest in Peace.

Terrible news that two people were killed in Manchester attending their place of worship at the synagogue in Manchester, with others seriously injured.

Community Security Trust @cstuk.bsky.social who do so much to keep Jewish people safe at faith and community spaces have issued this advice.

🚨 Israeli naval forces have illegally intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla.

Communications have been cut. The status of participants and crew remains unconfirmed.

This is an attack on unarmed humanitarians. We call on governments and int'l institutions to demand their immediate safety and release

Check this out - programme in progress and looking more exciting every time - can't wait for these conversations and what comes from there

All eyes on the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social which is faced by a potential naval blockade of 20 unidentified vessels just 3 nautical miles ahead of their fleet.

They write: "we will not be intimidated by threats, harassment, or efforts to protect Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza."

The "European way of life" has got to end - and that end can spell the good life for all.

But they cling into the careers, consumption, and inflated house prices, that keep themselves stressed and overworked, and migrants and rural folks poor (and equally overworked, without any of the social prestige) - and which ruins the world we inhabit everywhere.

Western European urbanites already envy and romanticize rural, peripheral lives when on holidays in Greece, Sardinia, or Dalmatia, or the sociality of migrant communities when they are invited to a wedding. >

And if the standard is broken and resources returned to the peripheral zones, these areas would offer a meaningful template of a slower, more sociable, and differently productive life. >

Their ways of life don't conform to the "(Western) European Way of Life", and they are judged for it. This standard is arrogant and harmful, and sucks up the resources that peripheral, marginalized, and rural people need.

Plenty of Europeans especially in the East and South don't partake in this mode of life because they are poor, and often live more traditional peasant/small town lives. The same with Europeans of migration background >

By "European way of life" I mean, of course, the lifestyles that were massified to create a consumer base for capitalist firms and to pacify the movements that wanted actual liberation and free time rather than cheap shit and shitty flights. >

Environmental damage is putting European way of life at risk, says report EU officials warn climate breakdown and wildlife loss ‘are ruining ecosystems that underpin the economy’

Environmental damage is putting European way of life at risk, says report. But why are Europeans not doing much about it? Because it's the "European way of life" that's creating the environmental damage.
So the point is not to save it, but to change it.

Feeling spicy might delete: but removing undocumented people is also gutting the tax base further FYI.

I want to be clear: it's an abusive system, I don't think the system should work this way. But you have millions of people paying into the tax system and not collecting.

Friendly reminder that immigrants commit fewer crimes than native born Americans. And that undocumented immigrants partake in very few social services (education mainly for their children) despite paying taxes.

Even when they say what people want to hear *no one trusts or believes them.* That is the problem. Read that again. It’s not a magic mix of issue positions - people’s issue positions change! - it’s political trust.

People respect&believe those who stand for something.Current center left (leadership) in U.S.& U.K. & likely elsewhere doesn’t stand for anything. They slide around based on polls,chasing sentiment that could help shape.They seem feckless&afraid.

The lonelier the work, the more emails needed.

This is despite consistent obfuscation, banalization and both-sidesism by German media and politicians.

But it's no surprise - a very large part of the population has long been indifferent or hostile to the political, cultural and media elite's unconditional support for Israel.
