When folks like him talk about winning the tech war against China, it apparently means seeing who can build a more terrifying surveillance state

My old pal Pete Coviello — one of the best writers and thinkers I've ever known — wrote the piece of the moment lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

Mamdani cited ppl like Amos Goldberg. It doesn’t matter. He can go to Tel Aviv and wave the Israeli flag and he will still be suspicious. The fact that he gives a shit about Palestinians is what makes him guilty in the eyes of those who have committed themselves to Israel’s genocide

Very important dynamic to keep track of

I think about this a lot in terms of union stuff (chatted with @vickyacab.bsky.social about it recently) companies would rather light any amount of resources on fire than have anyone else be able to have a single morsel of autonomy and control over their capital Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that? therumpus.net/2025/11/05/z...

Hey normal people. If you're wondering where Zohran Mamdani was quoting Debs from, it was from here, from his speech prior to sentencing for daring to say World War One was a dumb idea. Honestly one of the better speeches from American history, period. users.wfu.edu/zulick/341/D...

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

Reminder that an immigration offense is illegal in the same way that a parking ticket is illegal - an administrative offense. Yet the former allows you to be entirely disenfranchised, kidnapped in broad daylight, and thrown in prison to be forcibly exiled from your community.

According to the National Post hit piece they had lined up for Mamdani's win, the real victims of racism and hate are white people (the dominant group) and police (the state). Canadian right wing media not even trying to code their fascist rhetoric anymore.

Yoweri Museveni has been President of Uganda longer than Zohran Mamdani has been alive.

Apparently opposing the apartheid and genocide of Palestinians is a CCP psyop (previously it was argued as a Soviet Propaganda plan). Racial McCarthyism at its finest.

Pure and unadulterated BULLSHIT The EU is directly responsible for the deaths of thousands upon thousands of lives. Simply because they’re labeled “migrants” does not mean that their lives don’t matter In fact, if we respected their lives, the lives of those labeled “citizens” would be far better

Mamdani: Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall—your struggle is ours too

The BBC headline with "migrants" is already terrible and plays into the far-right narrative. And the solution to asylum-seekers being exploited by criminals is to allow them to contribute by working legally rather than making them survive on a pittance.

Why not have your cake and eat it too?

Rather beautifully, Professor Mahmood Mamdani's dedication in "Neither Settler Nor Native" is to his trail-blazing son, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. He quotes the revolutionary Chinese writer Lu Xun's famous concluding lines in "Hometown": 「其實地上本沒有路，走的人多了，也便成了路。」 -魯迅，故鄉 #everynightapoem

I am so upset. Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

Hard to defend academic freedom when you treat education as a commodity. "the university was 'explicitly trading my academic freedom for access to the Chinese student market,'"

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

There’s a headline. @reuters.com #Gaza www.reuters.com/world/middle...

BREAKING: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu orders immediate "powerful" strikes in Gaza.

Amazon strategised about keeping its datacentres’ full water use secret, leaked document shows

“An artificial intelligence system apparently mistook a high school student’s bag of Doritos for a firearm and called local police to tell them the pupil was armed.”

It's been a minute but goddamn I still love New York

"[Palestinians] had no role to play in this 20-point plan at all. The Israelis got it, edited it, made it closer to what they wanted. The Palestinians never saw it at all." Listen on Apple: interc.pt/3WfLqXO Spotify: interc.pt/43tMHhI Everywhere else: interc.pt/3WamFMH

Trump demolishing the White House to build a $250 million ballroom funded by Amazon, Lockheed Martin, and Palantir — all during a government shutdown, and as he covers up the Epstein Files — captures it all pretty well doesn't it

Along with our online guide, we also have a new How to Clean Up Copaganda poster, which sums up key ways media makers can cut through authoritarian and pro-police propaganda by getting to root causes, avoiding sensationalizing, and refusing to repeat cop lies. Check it out and order prints here:

The work is just beginning.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

"It feels as if everything has vanished. Not only the tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza erased without graves, without records, as if they had never existed – so many other things have been hollowed out: basic conceptions of morality, decency, compassion, humanity, hope, future."

"hand-to-hand combat with antifa every night"

suspending Jews for criticizing some of the most virulent anti-semites on the planet is ANTI-SEMITIC @support.bsky.team

If the immigration enforcement apparatus of the US were its own national military, it would be the 13th most heavily funded in the world. This puts it higher than the national militaries of Poland, Italy, Australia, Turkey, Canada, and Spain — and just below Israel.

The funniest thing about this is how legit terrified ICE looks.

I live on the west side and I am very shook up right now. There's been a helicopter hovering all day. ICE throwing tear gas at a busy intersection with a grocery store! and a SCHOOL!!! People kidnapped from the Home Depot. It's like the stuff you read in history books, right there on your block.

Give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day. Break his illegal sea blockade and?

People are more afraid of calling someone a Nazi than of actual Nazism, what a world

Complaining about cancel culture in Riyadh is one of the best examples I've seen of how "free speech culture" rots the brain.

Here’s a comprehensive list of appropriate responses upon hearing that a man murdered worshippers at a synagogue: 1- this is fucked up, fuck that guy, fuck antisemitism, solidarity with the victims 2- see above

This is why you shouldn't shut up about racism in other marginalized communities. Because it is all tied together. You can't dismantle ableism and be racist, they're part of the same system. Same with racist people in the LGBTQ+ community. Your marginalization does NOT absolve you of racism.

Judge Young: "This case ... squarely presents the issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in United States actually have the same free speech rights as the rest of us. The Court answers this Constitutional question unequivocally 'yes, they do.' 'No law' means 'no law.'"

September 30 is Orange Shirt Day, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. A day to honor the children taken to residential schools, to remember survivors, and to confront the harm done. But an Orange shirt is not enough, orange donuts just crass.

"Moreover... the University administration’s actions have placed my long-term safety at risk by sending the message that harassment and bullying are effective means of having a professor put on leave."
