Impressive guerilla marketing for lefty books at today's People's Summit march in Belém ( @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social )

crazy how the list of home secretaries of past 20 years is maybe some of the worst people alive

This contribution to the volume of human misery is yet another policy from Labour based on a false premise, in this case that refugees are overly attracted to Britain. It will increase bureaucratic limbo, thus making worse the problem of "cohesion" it purports to solve. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

i don't believe in hell but I hope he's there

truly one of the most unintentionally funny things i've ever seen someone post online about themself

Hot off the press! Out Oct 16, featuring two new chapters, Against the Romance of Police Reform and Futures Beyond Policing. Hoping this study of anti-Black criminalization is helpful as we face the rise in fascistic authoritarian rule, and the policing used to enforce and enable it.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

Yesterday was the one year anniversary of From the Ashes' release into the world. Sharing this selection, for reasons.

Incredible footage of pro-Palestine protesters shutting down the Vuelta a España cycling race in Bilbao due to the participation of the Israeli team. The race ended with no victors as they weren't able to finish. elpais.com/deportes/cic...

On both sides of the Altantic, within and without bodies like the UN, EU and NATO, developed countries are eager to return to Hobbes's State of Nature as pretext for their response to climate crisis, and Israel is useful for establishing the worst of what states can get away with in that paradigm.

You have to organize. I don't know what else to tell people. And organizing is not sexy and it is difficult and it matters that you be persistent. We need long-distance runners right now.

Last night, about 60 Chicago activists and organizers gathered to discuss Trump's threatened military occupation of our city. Our convo centered around a worksheet that some friends and I put together this week—a tool that can help us build and strengthen local networks of support and protection.

Maybe nobody should be at the death and destruction show? Maybe we shouldn't be hosting this? Maybe it shouldn't exist?

This is how the Hostile Environment works btw. We've had it in the UK for 13 years. It loves exploitative employers and exploitative employers alone.

Within this toxic targeting of asylum sites, we hear very little about the lucrative contracts the Home Office dishes out to private contractors- companies like Clearsprings who are make record breaking profits from people's misery. More ➡️ www.migrantsorganise.org/overcrowding...

Racist tropes and abuse directed at people seeking asylum, indulged and appeased by the Labour government and actively encouraged and instigated by the Conservative and far-right opposition, are a threat to all people of colour in the UK, and ultimately to all hope for a more just and equal society.
