In 1970, Palestinian writer Ghassan Kanafani sat down with Australian journalist Richard Carleton for what became one of the most quoted interviews in Middle Eastern history. Carleton keeps pushing the same question different ways — why won’t you just talk? Why won’t you negotiate? And each time,

What if the state's prime function was to regulate the rich so they wither away…

BREAKING: Global Sumud Flotilla activists released from Israeli custody after Israel seized an aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters, say they were tortured, sexually assaulted and denied basic legal rights. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/finz9n

this is one of those things that sounds reasonable, until you realize how essential cars are for most Americans because of the way we've constructed our infrastructure. plus, of course, we know that surveillance will ALWAYS be used to punish people of color and the poor

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

Today is the last day to comment to the FCC that LGBTQIA2S+ names, stories, identities don't need a warning label. This new potential rulemaking is an attempt at criminalizing the mere fact of being trans or otherwise queer, in the name of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution. Tell them no, now.

"agents pulling over a van of farmworkers, then smashing the windows and using a facial recognition app to identify and arrest the workers without a warrant."

S2 of Interview with the Vampire on Netflix is censored. Many won't notice since Part 1 is left unaltered and Part II keeps some swears. They keep the abrupt cuts to black screens intended for commercials. It really disturbs the flow. Please seek out the intended cut. #iwtv

I haven't heard a person say, "vote with your money," in a while, maybe because class consciousness is rising. Taxing the rich and raising wages will stave off some bleeding yet prolong the problem. Morale will improve with a socialist revolution.

Shake it, baby! 🐢

Yep: "Corporations simply are a legal creation of the state, everywhere they exist, by definition. The new law simply states that corporations doing business in Hawaii do not have the power to engage in local, state, or federal political campaigns, that that was not one of the powers enumerated."

Just hours before the 2026 #MetGala, hundreds gathered in the Meatpacking District to watch people walk down a different red carpet in custom couture.

This is one of the most quietly revolutionary things any city can do to improve kids' lives & outcomes. If you genuinely care about kids having access to education or safe after school spaces & activities, then fund your libraries, staff your libraries, & make every public school ID a library card.

Spoke with Lina of @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social about why they’re rallying and blockading NYSE for May Day.

The march is underway. Thousands of people, led by Sombrero Music de Severiano Salas, are now marching and dancing toward Chicago's Union Park, where further May Day festivities are set to take place.

big debate in our community about whether Pride should be "family friendly" or whatever, and listen, if there are people in bondage gear I will still take my kid. that's part of life! he can know about it! "those are grown-ups playing a game some grown-ups like to play," done, explained, it's fine

Recently, the accrediting body for U.S. medical schools quietly published updated standards that no longer explicitly require med schools to teach about health equity. In my piece, I argue that this rollback harms us all & that medical schools have an obligation to keep teaching this content.

The people who force us to live in a violent country really thought they wouldn't have to live in a violent country along with us. They thought other people would do the dying for them. When one of them catches one of the strays they put in the air to catch us, what are we supposed to do but shrug.

This death camp never closed down despite a concerted effort by many forces to convince you it did.

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores. The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act. Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

Companies need to understand that unions are the compromise. Because right now they are creating the conditions for more people to lash out like this:

This time last year: goodbye to @mollysdailykiss.bsky.social incredible #SinfulSunday project. The beauty and joy we lose through censorship and bad laws makes me want to weep. What we do isn't dirty or shameful - what we do is GOOD, actually! www.girlonthenet.com/blog/goodbye...

"Lebanon is ready to explode. The Israelis found their perfect opportunity. Most of the world is looking at Iran. Lebanon is too small to matter. Israel knows that. They got away with a live-streamed genocide. Why wouldn’t they get away with another one?" - @ayoub.bsky.social

While Washington does nothing about corporate money in politics, voters in Montana are trying to do something about it themselves. They want to ban corporations from spending money to influence elections. Big Business tried to stop it in court — and just lost.

Witness the elegance of the swimming Feather Star, a crinoid that dates back to the Ordovician era, over 480 million years ago. A true marvel of evolution in our oceans.

The reason abolition is scary is because we've all been told the US prison system is normal and we're all in danger without it. That's a lie. Prison labor is a $9 billion industry annually. That's why they lie to you. We don't need prisons. We need healthcare, housing, and education for all.

Censorship becomes just another grift. "Your state passes harmful legislation that removes and censors books, and then you have companies appear that then want to charge districts to review their collections”

1. Throughout history, leaders have committed acts of civil disobedience to challenge unjust laws. Add Samantha Boucher to that list. Boucher walked into the Kansas Statehouse bathroom in front of police, deliberately violating one of the most extreme anti-trans law in the country.

Just read: Ursula K. Le Guin's short story "The Day Before the Revolution," a bittersweet POV of an elder revolutionary on the eve of success. I think it's great leftist lit for anarchists & commies alike. And it takes less than an hour to read. storyoftheweek.loa.org/2017/08/the-... #booksky

I've been a bit more lowkey about it for a bit personal reasons but I am Gender fluid and love representing and highlighting the beauty in trans bodies as much as I can, and its specially important these days to do so A strong Trans Day of Visibility to us!

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! ✊ trans rights are human rights. full stop. #TDOV #TDOV2026

Play is the work of children. It’s how they process the world around them and practice adult skills. In the photo below, children in Gaza are reenacting a funeral procession in play. (The photo is a screenshot I took from an even more heartbreaking video via AlJazeera.)
