Makes me think of the time I learned that University at Buffalo not only invited cops onto campus to terrorize and do at least one hate crime against their students (ripped a hijab off) -- but they catered the cops' lunch.

As they ethnically cleanse southern Lebanon, occupy Syria, continue attacks on Gaza, & re-arm for more war against the ppl of Iran

Israel has kidnapped the sister of the president of Ireland.

star chambers back, proliferating across settler archipelago -- unenclosing justice & accountability means opposite of these kind of informational black boxes & arbitrary punishments. we know if the people were in control, these protesters would be free living their lives, high-fived to kingdom come

been watching the Pitt. keep waiting for Israel to bomb it.

give it to writers facing colonial oppression or supremacist extermination. done.

Israel is using dogs to rape Palestinians. There's multiple testimonies. When I first reported on this obscenity, it triggered a firestorm. The New York Times has now, finally, reported on it - and Israel's systematic use of sexual violence. New post: www.owenjones.news/p/new-york-t...

have just been informed that there'll be free copies of the reissue of Bill Knott's Corpse & Beans at the NYC event -- thx to @blackoceanbooks.bsky.social

the U.S.: doing economic sanctions on yr aunt Mildred's shadow fleets

she finally says she would oppose even 'defensive' military aid (nonsense term) to the settler entity at a DSA forum in May. she actually gonna follow through? or find another hair to split between now and then?

i mean, you know, & if there were such a right, genocide would be the first thing to disqualify one from it

“We create, and are created by, our beloveds through the action and transformation of love.” - @divinetailor.bsky.social from On Being Half-Imaginary a hell of a memoir/deep deep reading of a Dr. Who episode/genre-fugitive text

"Only a community of the living & the dead can mobilize past struggles against the current deadlock. & when it fails, it leaves behind images for the coming generations.

Chris Toll's work has been reissued. My reading has started with a bang: "I want to teach creative writing at the Naval Academy I'll make the midshipmen slit their wrists and write PEACE with their blood on the hulls of nuclear submarines"

several suny chancellors approve

i will be in rochester on saturday. home of my favorite blueberry farmer and a vegan ethiopian joint that never changes. and also slightly less deranged municipal politics than buffalo. they ripped part of their downtown highway out. a graphic has been made.

1782 Jacobin, while George Washington orders the extirpation of tribal nations: "The Struggle for Democracy in the Seneca Isn't Over." Typeset by some dweeb in Providence,

Finally done with Jacobin. We need to amputate the gangrenous soft form of socialist-imperialism it represents from the psyches of our collective movements. Ughghghghghghg.

#OtD 1 May 1903 the first May Day demonstration took place in the Philippines organised by the country's first labour union which formed the previous year. In 1908, the government agreed to designate 1 May as Labour day, an official national holiday shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...

STRIKE: Ahead of May Day, Popeyes workers in Los Angeles are on strike due to life-threatening workplace violence, extreme heat, cockroaches in the kitchen, wage theft, and broken restroom, to the point we’ve been forced to urinate in a closet drain because it is the only place without cameras. 🧵

"suspended primary"

get in loser we're getting Reconstruction right this time

"KHANNA: How much did it cost American taxpayers, in terms of the strike on the Iranian school where kids were killed, in terms of the missiles we used?" Ali Kadri--death of the other as profit source. This only gets questioned when investment in death don't pay off. That's the best dems can do.

Nothing is as urgent as class warfare right now. The billionaires control our lives and our dreams and the aspirational fantasies of our children. All politics on this planet is tied to the rule of the billionaires right now. #endbillionaires

"a lyric of resistance from a perspective of working-class ethos and values, with lines held at the ground level, articulating a city through the people that actually do the labour required in such complex and communal spaces." @robmclennan.bsky.social robmclennan.blogspot.com/2026/04/joe-...

Where the fuck you at @penamerica.bsky.social ?

Right on queue PEN America frets over the freedom of speech of writers persecuted in countries the U.S. is threatening to annihilate and not the freedom of speech of the thousands of people and children whose voices have been silenced by U.S. / the Westoid-Confederate bombs.

💔

can we call the nations waging war against the people of Iran and Lebanon the confederacy?
