America is built on prison labor. When will the labor movement defend prisoners? “Incarcerated workers are a part of the working class,” award-winning journalist Kim Kelly says. And we are “not telling the real history of labor in this country if [we’re] not focusing on the…

“Incarcerated workers are a part of the working class,” award-winning journalist Kim Kelly says. And we are “not telling the real history of labor in this country if [we’re] not focusing on the organizing efforts and the labor of people who are in prison.” therealnews.com/prison-labor...

Pete Buttigieg weighs in on ‘fairness’ of transgender kids playing girls’ sports He said he rejected blanket policies about trans participation in sports.

Buttigieg said parents have legitimate concerns.

To be clear: If you cannot be relied on to unequivocally defend transgender kids, you can’t be relied on to defend anyone or anything.

I cannot get over how no one in mainstream politics even disputes factual claims like this. Everyone admits that Israel is starving children and murdering desperate civilians. The only ‘debate’ is about what to call it and whether the motives of people protesting it are pure enough.

this is an induced famine happening in real time and the people being starved to death have internet access and are screaming for help everywhere they can and a whole contingent of people on here keep having all their accounts deleted because their desperate pleas for help are kind of annoying

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ahmed. Ahmed is 29 years old and worked as a graphic designer before this, his wife Manar was a content writer at the same company. It was destroyed and so was their home and car. They have two children Wajih, 3 and Mila who is only 7 months

Help me save my family and escape from Gaza to Eygpt My name is Alaa, and I am a mother of three precious children: Musa, who is 12 years old, and my twin daughters, Ella and Ellen, who are 8 years old. Before October 7th, our lives were filled with hop...

Today, I made a donation to support Alaa and her children in Gaza. Alaa is a mother I've been in contact with for some time, and her family is facing immense hardship. Her children are in poor health and urgently need support. If you're able to contribute, it could make a real difference for them.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Nermin. Nermin was an assistant architectural engineer and had a house she built herself.

Gov. Ayotte vetoes book removal bill, bathroom ban bill, more Republican legislation Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte vetoed seven New Hampshire bills, many intended to strengthen parental rights, bucking conservative wing of her party.

Incredible news out of New Hampshire tonight: we pushed the Republican governor (who faces re-election every 2 years) to veto a book ban AND an anti-trans bathroom ban 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

I needed this good news today.

The safety and existence of trans people isn’t just some box to be checked, it’s a non-negotiable baseline. If that’s considered a debatable issue, there’s no real democracy worth “getting back.”

Some rich people could come together to meet the gap right now. Commit to 4 years funding.

I'm excited to share that I received some grant funding to bring back the Stevie Wilson DIY Arts Youth Residency in 2026 and 2027. You can learn more about the project here: bit.ly/diyresidencyreport - I had hoped to offer it again and now I have the opportunity to do so.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Dalia. Dalia has Churg- Strauss disorder, a rare life threatening immune disease. She has been trying to get a medical evacuation to have it treated. She had 4 children, Lara, 18, Adam, 16, Lamar, 13 and sweet Mohammad here who is 7. ❤️

Protesters blocked Palantir's New York City office on July 14th, chanting "No ICE, No Palantir!" over its $30 million contract with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its surveillance platform.

Jehad lost his first baby because of this genocide and is now just trying to keep the rest of his family alive ❤️

Every single story you are hearing from the Everglades Concentration Camp has been and is already taking place in hundreds of prisons and jails in the U.S. That's what PIC abolitionists have been trying to get the public to understand for decades.

headline: "democrats lost voters on transgender rights."
the article:

Is your family member or client at Alligator Alcatraz? We obtained a list The Trump and DeSantis administrations have refused to release a roster of detainees, none of whom seem to appear in ICE’s online database.

"The Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times has obtained a list of more than 700 people who have been detained or appear to be scheduled to be sent to the Florida-run immigration detention facility known as Alligator Alcatraz."

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

A flyer for "Free Laundry Days in July" features a woman and two children at a laundromat. It lists free laundry event dates and locations in Baltimore City, Montgomery, and Prince George’s counties.

I like this idea. It would be good if they offered more than one load. How can this be replicated in NYC?

Receiving word that Zohran Mamdani will, as mayor, strip "A Beautiful Mind" of the 2002 Academy Awards Best Picture and retroactively award it to "Death to Smoochy."

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mahmoud. He is 30 and before this he worked in a ceramics and sanitary ware showroom. The showroom and his house are gone. He has been trying to support his family including his 1.5 year old son Khalid and his wife who is 2 months pregnant.

the core idea that can radicalize people is so simple:

there is enough.

there is enough food to feed everyone. enough resources to house everyone. money and technology and medicine to stop the suffering of people around the globe.

once you accept that there's only one question:

why don't we?

ICE's show of force today in Los Angeles is grim but largely symbolic.

They'll kidnap fewer people today than average. We knew they were planning something because their operational tempo slacked from Jul 4-6.

Community members got to #MacArthurPark hours ahead of time to warn residents.
