Ah, look. Mamdani is going to be happily hobnobbing with yet another perpetrator of mass death. Might as well meet with Netanyahu while he's at it.

A recent Gallup poll indicates that 41% of Americans feel closer to the Palestinians, compared to 39% who support Israel.

We invite you to march with us this #Mayday under the slogan of full rights for immigrants, abolish ICE, and defeat the U.S. imperialist war on Iran.

🚨New preprint and our results are rather concerning.. We find the "boiling frog" equivalent of AI use. Using large-scale RCTs, we provide *casual* evidence that AI assistance reduces persistence and hurts independent performance. And these effects emerge after just 10–15 minutes of AI use! 1/

From the unprovoked war on Iran to the war on immigrants at home, Trump’s policies are driving millions of people into the streets across the world. #NoKings round-up and analysis by @jamesdennishoff.bsky.social & @saminthecan.bsky.social www.leftvoice.org/biggest-no-k...

Oh, the Schadenfreude!

As predicted, Noem is out after revelations that she spent hundreds of millions on ads from companies that didnt even exist before they put bids in.

If anyone says the school bombing was an accident, they’re lying. Exclusive: Iranian girls killed by ‘double-tap’ strikes on Minab school Eyewitnesses describe second blast which killed survivors as they sheltered in prayer hall www.middleeasteye.net/news/exclusi...

"Spain has denied the use of its military bases to U.S. forces involved in the joint U.S.-Israel war on Iran, including for refueling." "[A]t least 7 of 15 U.S. planes that left Spain over the weekend went to Germany." #Spain #USA #Iran #Israel #Germany #Military

Current events confirm the achieved wisdom of time-honored classics in the social sciences.

Like a typical chauvinist, AOC doesn't seem to give a damn about US imperialism or the deaths of Iranian innocents. Instead she's worried about American casualties and congressional authority to declare war. This is bad, even for her.

The decision to reject the construction of an ICE detention center in Romulus is a victory for the movement, but continued struggle is needed to drive ICE out of Michigan for good.

An important victory against ICE in Detroit! "By drawing lessons from the struggle in Minneapolis, and by bringing the movement against ICE into all of our workplaces, unions, schools, and communities, we can build a national movement to oppose Trump’s continuing attacks..."

Perfect quote for tonight's SOTU.

One of my favorite pieces for Left Voice.

Simone was an absolute legend.

Workers, youth, and retirees in Argentina paralyzed the country in a national strike against the Milei government’s reactionary labor law reforms. Although the measure has passed both houses of Congress, the fight isn’t over.

In response to growing outrage over Trump’s war on immigrants, Democrats are refusing to fund DHS unless ICE is reformed. Recent history demonstrates why the Democrats’ maneuvering is a dead end for those who want to abolish ICE.

The Berlin International Film Festival opened with filmmakers kowtowing to European imperialism. But a number of artists used their platform to speak up against the genocide in Gaza.

"Fifteen refugees and migrants lost their lives after the boat they were traveling on allegedly collided with a Coast Guard vessel." "[A]pproximately 1,000 people demonstrated in central Athens, chanting slogans such as 'Open borders for refugees.'" #Greece #Water #Asylum #Protest

Thanks @harmscommitted.com for all the amazing archival work. Everyone should follow them.

"Argentine Senate passed President Javier Milei's labor reform bill." "The passage of the bill came amid fierce protests by workers, labor unions, and anti-capitalist parties." "Police used water cannons and rubber bullets against protesters." #Argentina #Protest #Labour #Policing #Voting

On February 12, more than 300 million Indian workers and peasants went on strike against privatization and labor reform.

The brutal terror by masked, racist thugs in Minneapolis is making many people think of the Nazi Gestapo. While ICE is clearly full of fascists, that doesn’t mean that fascism is in power yet. Trump is weaker than he seems.

Israel chasing Palestinians out of occupied West Bank homes. 37,000 Palestinians displaced by Israeli settlers (many from the U.S.) in 2025

My latest for @leftvoice.bsky.social is a response to Jacobin's @lizafeatherstone.bsky.social on Mamdani's awful endorsement of Hochul.

Mamdani’s endorsement of Hochul is not a “good problem” for Zohran Mamdani or the Left as Jacobin’s Liza Featherston claims; but it does show well the limits of the strategy of municipal socialism to win real power for working people.

Trump’s “border czar” Tom Homan has announced the end of Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis. As the fight against the administration’s anti-immigrant offensive continues, here are four lessons we can draw from the experience.

On Wednesday, Argentina’s ruling party passed a crushing anti-labor law in the Senate. The bill has sparked protests and police repression, and still needs to be approved by the Chamber of Deputies.

More Than 1,000 Google Workers Call On Company to Cancel Contracts with ICE and CBP

Important update on Minneapolis.

Comfortable liberal pundits at the NYT referring to Bannon, who has the ear of the President and his Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, as a "known bullshit artist" just shows a complete disconnect from the real consequences of Trump's authoritarian agenda.

i think people should consider the extent to which bannon, a known bullshit artist, knows that you will see this and panic. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is a terrible take by Jamelle B. Why would acting to organize against this be a bad thing? Preparing for the very real possibility of further authoritarian attacks on democratic rights is not panicking, it's common sense. We've seen already that the law will not protect us from Trump's thugs.

In Minneapolis, workers, students, and their communities are mobilizing against ICE, showing the power of solidarity against Trump’s terror. We can go even further. www.leftvoice.org/minneapolis-...

AI in space; what could go wrong?

FT's Due Diligence: "Musk has big plans. He said the deal was needed to launch data centres into space, build factories on the moon and colonise Mars." Gil-Scott Heron: "I can't pay no doctor bills But whitey's on the moon Ten years from now I'll be payin' still While whitey's on the moon…"

Imagine how scared he will be when he realizes men have compassion and emotions too.

This was literally a G-d D-mn Black Mirror episode!

The Montreal Canadiens are playing the Minnesota Wild in Minneapolis tonight. The players have been recommended to stay in/eat at the hotel, take the team bus to the arena, and carry passports. Perhaps we shouldn't be hosting the World Cup and the Olympics...

Thousands of workers and students took to the streets in New York to protest ICE on January 30. United, we can kick immigration forces out of our cities and protect our immigrant neighbors.

ICE’s murders in Minneapolis forced the bipartisan regime to take steps to de-escalate tensions. But the Twin Cities’ resistance has inspired communities across the country, and is writing a new episode of class struggle in the post-neoliberal moment.

The courts have given ICE and the Trump administration carte blanche to violently repress the working class. It’s up to us to defend ourselves, and organize workers and immigrants to fight back.

Bovino and Trump are merley the symptoms of a decades-long attempt to paper over the inevitable horrors of capitalism.

Never forget, it was the U.S. that the Nazis looked to for inspiration when they were developing the Nuremberg Laws. What we are seeing now is merely the return of a deeply ingrained primitive fascist authoritarianism repressed by decades of liberal apology for capitalism with a human face.

AUSTIN! ICE has booked a block of rooms at the Hyatt Regency (Congress/Barton Springs) for the next two weeks. This is being reliably reported on by a few folks, including Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch. You know what to do.

"We must shut everything down in a general strike, force all federal agents out of Minneapolis and every U.S. city, and demand the abolition of the DHS." "The lives of our immigrant neighbors and activists are literally on the line." #Minnesota #USA #Labour #Deportation #EthnicCleansing
