I’m on the ground at a prayer vigil near the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago.

The fact he wasn't fired for this shows exactly just how asymmetric everything in the media is right now. He was literally advocating mass murder and said "just kill them."

One columnist, a professional pundit, is living in a paranoid delusion. The other, a sociologist, is living in America.

On April 14, it will be my honor to deliver the annual Pembroke Center Publics Lecture at Brown University. I'll be discussing the central role of trans misogyny in the rise of Donald Trump and the far-right. The talk is free, public, and will be available online events.brown.edu/pembroke/eve...

After the AfD's surge on Sunday, far right parties are the most voted-for of any grouping in Europe, for the first time in history: www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

Hold up.

No one has tried this before, let's see how it plays out.

⚡More than 80 Palestinians have been killed across Gaza since the "ceasefire" took hold, 49 of them in Rafah. Israel repeatedly violated the agreement, killing dozens of civilians returning to their devastated neighborhoods. Abubaker Abed reports from Gaza 🔽 www.dropsitenews.com/p/death-and-...

"Dems facilitated and enabled a genocide, and it lost them voters." "Well, Trump won and now he wants to finish the 2nd Nakba." "Yep. We're paying the price for lesser evilism." "Some way worse than others. But solidarity is what we need rn." Pause. "Ever think Patton Oswalt should just stfu?"

Please remember that in the entire history of the world, "that's illegal" has prevented exactly zero crimes. The law is not a forcefield that prohibits illegal actions. It's a list of consequences that *may* be imposed if you do the proscribed act. "You can't do that" is just factually incorrect.

This country is a hellscape: Imprisoned teenage boys & young men 18 to 24 are being used to battle the wildfires. 95% are Black, Latino, or Filipino; earn between $2.20 & $4 per hour, plus an additional $1 an hour when they’re actively fighting fires

Just as the Biden administration has rejected the findings of other Israeli violations of international humanitarian law by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, the United Nations....

The president has used his final days in office to guarantee the continuation of Israel’s genocidal assault in Gaza.

The new Congress is the third oldest in American history with an average member age of 59 years old.

Police killed more people this year than any other year on record, killing 3.4 people per day nationwide. mappingpoliceviolence.us

Barely 3 days into 2025 and billionaires like Elon Musk will skip paying into social security for the remainder of the year. That's b/c earnings over $176K/yr escape the social security tax. This cap is doing one thing: helping the rich get richer & hurting everyday Americans.

I can’t compete with this

😞 Association of private schools apologizes for speaker who spoke truthfully. What kind of education will students in the member schools get when message to teachers is loud & clear to censor any reference to genocide in Palestine, regardless of Amnesty International & other groups' designation?

Last year my students at Morehouse held a forum on the student debt crisis. Senator Warnock’s staff agreed to attend, then ghosted my students without explanation. The Dems have abandoned this generation—on debt and everything else.

Proud to see that @truthout.org covered the story leading this list by this crucial media watchdog!

#ReadPalestineWeek kicks off on Friday. For @truthout.org, I spoke to three writers in Gaza about what the initiative means to them and the actions they want readers and culture workers in the West to take to end the occupation. Read it here: truthout.org/articles/my-...

"Disillusionment with the Democrats and their inability to offer solutions to the multiple crises of capitalism should not be confused with a widespread embrace of Trump’s authoritarianism." tempestmag.org/2024/11/not-... #USElection2024

"As Trump tries to implement policies of mass harm, we all may face unreasonable orders by our bosses, landlords, politicians and police — and we all must be ready to refuse them. The targets of reactionary political decisions may not have an escape." --Rory Fanning

There are no official U.S. government definitions for racism, sexism, Islamophobia, or other discriminationatory activities, but Senate leader Chuck Schumer is introducing legislation that would define antisemitism to include opposition to Zionism and certain kinds of criticism of Israeli policies.
