Help us send 2,000 books to readers who are incarcerated this winter through our Books Not Bars program

Really exciting day for advanced reader titles from Consortium & @haymarketbooks.org! Our box arrived with a copy of @vickyacab.bsky.social's forthcoming "Extended Universe: How Disney Killed the Movies and Took Over the World" 👀

🎧 A World Beyond Bombs, Borders, and Cages @haymarketbooks.org @rayacheson.bsky.social

ENEMY FEMINISMS by Sophie Lewis is an unflinching tour of two hundred years of enemy feminisms, making the case instead for the bold, liberatory feminist politics we need. @haymarketbooks.org www.pilsencommunitybooks.com/item/UfU8gx4...

I reviewed two fantastic books by @reproutopia.bsky.social , @fullnommunism.bsky.social and Mijke Van Der Drift for @histmat.bsky.social - reflecting on tolerable levels of dissonance in comradely feminisms: www.historicalmaterialism.org/enemies-comr...

"'Solidarity' contains analysis of the dire contemporary situation for children, the author’s reflections on raising a non-binary child in circumstances of fear and threat, [and a look at] how the right weaponizes ideas of 'the child' in the name of parental rights." proteanmag.com/2025/11/19/h...

Haymarket Gift Cards are the perfect last minute gift for any curious reader, social justice activist, or labor movement militant.

“We’re about political education for everyone. And *everyone* includes folks who are currently incarcerated.”

Through another year of defiant, collective resistance, Haymarket has continued to amplify radical voices and ideas that make a contribution to analyzing systems of oppression, mapping strategies for liberation, and imagining a fundamentally different world.

ICE and CBP, among others, have violently retaliated against ICE Watch in part because the agencies correctly understand what many do not: Organized neighbors are mounting an effective defense, and an organized movement is a formidable adversary. My new feature: newrepublic.com/article/2042...

So @sylvanistwhimsy.bsky.social has thrown down the gauntlet- to match her $25 donation. I made a donation- Haymarket Books is 5k from their fundraising goal, let’s help them get there!

ICE whistles work.

Just donated $25 instead of buying myself another holiday coping present--I dare you, yes YOU! To match me! *gently sets a book down in front of you instead of throwing down a gauntlet*

"Wherever the agents appear, even when they lean idly, chatting, we see the cold threat of violence and the fragility of freedom. And in the brave crowds who gather to confront them, scrambling their illusion of total control, we see the power of solidarity..." hammerandhope.org/article/ice-...

Haymarket’s Books Not Bars program receives an average of 50 letters each week at its post office box, many of them requesting books about Black liberation, radical poetry, and political history.

I am so proud of the small group of people that has been grinding on this project for 10 years. Looks like there will finally be a ground-breaking in 2026 - thetriibe.com/2025/12/chic...

We've got something for EVERYONE! 🎁

It’s true! I do hope that you will support Haymarket House and all of its terrific programming.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

😈

This is why I say that the p*lice are defunding YOU

it's worth noting 1) that there's a longstanding tradition of trying to play solidarity against basic self-respect and 2) that the Combahee River Collective's coining of the term "identity politics" was directly in response to this

Join us in building a vibrant, sustainable, independent home for culture, politics, and community by becoming a Haymarket House sustainer.

“Organizers, activists, and movement-makers from every part of Chicago and every corner of the larger ecosystem of progressive politics have come to think of Haymarket House as a welcoming and inclusive space—even a home.“ @underthetreepod.bsky.social wants you to support Haymarket House!

What are you reading this weekend?

I had been dreading the treaty anniversary as an occasion to note that we have not done nearly enough, but in July I thought we might be able celebrate it. Because, on 23 July, the international court of justice handed down an epochal ruling....

Pay attention to what happens during library board meetings, attend the meetings and seek election/appointment to the boards.

This is quite a thing from the people who brought you a copyright extension act that strains the rule against perpetuities. Actual human artists can't tell stories with your characters for decades to come, but Sam Altman's toy can put them into porn, no problem.

Black-led vigilance committees not only protected and aided fugitives but also learned from the formerly enslaved as they built a movement pedagogy together.

If you're in NYC, come see me discuss my new book with Sumaya Awad this Friday evening. Organized by @haymarketbooks.org RSVP here: events.haymarketbooks.org/events/hayma...

Our last episode of the year is a conversation about what resisting ICE has looked like in Chicago, what we've learned, what it's cost, and where we go from here. I'm so grateful to Gabe Gonzalez, Rey Wences, and Jocelyn Walsh for this convo. This one is special to me. Audio + transcript:

Willian Giménez González, Chicago day laborer and beloved worker leader in Chicago, is now free from ICE custody. I spoke to him about his ordeal, and what solidarity looks like in this moment. "They should do more to stop this so we can stop living this nightmare," he said.
