Thanks so much. 👌This is some explanation from the NZ/Ao context. open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

The New York Times also just kind of introduces Turning Point USA as this ambiguous entity without explaining what it is, or detailing any of its dodgy behaviors as a super shady right wing propaganda organization this kind of generous framing isn't done by accident

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope! and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

Hard to believe anyone still subscribes to the Washington Post.

Unfortunately, they're more like Killer Clowns from Outer Space.

I remember reading about these guys in Germany a long time ago that made political opposition to their party a crime.

Join us in person this Saturday at Communiversity. Lunch is provided. You'll learn some things. And also leave with a CSA bag of produce. I'll be facilitating a session about grassroots fundraising this week and there are two other excellent sessions to choose from too.

I hope we have an update soon from Dr. Bray.

The first excerpt from our forthcoming book edited by @mskellymhayes.bsky.social, Read This When Things Fall Apart, is a letter by Aaron Goggans about how fascism warps consensus reality—and how organizers can learn how to live well outside of it, without letting conflict and trauma rip them apart.

University of Texas admins are confronting the collapse of academic freedom by creating a working group of people hand-picked by the administration to, at some point, craft a statement about "academic integrity".

Can’t take any columnist or writer seriously on ANYTHING if they’ve had nothing to say about Gaza

Under Nazi rule, clergy who refused to support the regime were surveilled, arrested, assaulted, and in some cases, executed. The Nazis publicly aligned themselves with Christian values while targeting religious figures who defended the vulnerable or spoke against state violence.

This is one of the most encouraging trends I've seen. Refusing to indict cases of resistance against ICE terrorists and kidnappers is a valuable tool in our citizens' toolkit.

A federal grand jury declined to indict two people charged with assaulting law enforcement agents outside a suburban Chicago ICE facility, an attorney for one of the defendants said, Megan Crepeau and @benjaminpenn.bsky.social report news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here. Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

US commentator Van Jones has apologised for making a joke about Palestinian babies killed by Israeli attacks, but he is not alone when it comes to dehumanising comments about Gaza aje.io/33pm5k

Assata Shakur-- "For me, the beach was a wonderful place, and to this day there is no place on this earth that i love more. I have never seen a beach more beautiful than it was then, before they decided to build a canal right through the property of my grandparents.

"The following day, reports described the building’s hallways as strewn with 'toys, shoes and food,' with doors 'blown off their hinges' and 'holes left in walls.' In one room, per @blockclubchi.bsky.social, zip ties sat on the floor beside blood stains and baby shoes."

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Federal judge temporarily blocks the Trump administration from deploying the National Guard in Portland, Oregon.

On the ground at Broadview. One arrest and state police with batons are pushing people out of the street.

I’m off the ground. Early day tomorrow. Much love to everyone who is doing whatever they can wherever they are.

last night we saw a contraption on the street and thought it was a guillotine artwork. it wasn't, but damn if it didn't give that vibe. life in escalated fascism.

“People are associating not shaving with laziness. It’s not laziness, it’s my constitutionally protected religious right,” said a practicing Hanafi Muslim service member currently on active duty.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her. Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

Meat is a blind spot for people who care about climate. When I used to have dinner with my colleague Wally Broecker, the climate scientist who coined the term “global warming”, he would always order a steak.
