as workers, we have no state;
as migrants, we have no state;

we mean there has never been, and will never be, a state that represents us, protects our interests, or prioritizes our well-being."

Hundreds packed into Chicago's Federal Plaza this evening in protest of the U.S.-Israeli massacre in Iran.
Procedural liberalism on display. We support the murder of innocents, the immoral and demonic violence, but the President didn't fill out the right paperwork.
