His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

Its clear that if globally a spirit of internationalism stronger than that of the 70s cannot be formed amongst the working peoples of the world, we are ecologically and politically doomed. Nationalism has got to go.

Heard a fuck head on NPR talking about how in the last 80 years America never relied on coercion but mutually beneficial deals. Big if true

This is why Clinton type law and order Democrats can get fucked especially. Idk if the Dems would be more effective now if they hadnt gone all in on cops but the fact that they did made change functionally impossible.

by the way, all of this, dozens of goons, weapons brandished massive teargassing of public space, people beaten in the street, destroying two intersections on either side of my neighborhood, horror, all seems to have been to create a distraction to abduct crying two teenagers who were here legally

Hahahahahaha, save us U.S. bankers youre our only hope

The nerve of those who claim Trump achieve a ceasefire in Gaza. Israel has launched attacks on 86 of the 101 days since the ceasefire, according to Al Jazeera analysis of news reports.

Turns out the markets are pretty chill about imperialism

We should be all extremely concerned that Gaza and the West Bank has fallen off the news agenda. Since the so called ceasefire Israel has killed 1000 Palestinians and banned over 30 well respected humanitarian orgs. Gaza is also grappling with flooding, high winds & extreme cold.

They want to attack Cuba so fucking bad. Good reminder for folks to listen to Blowback's recent season of Cuba in Angola fighting apartheid south africa. Cuba has accomplished extraordinary things while being locked out of the international system and America really cant stand it.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

A disturbing update to this story: Despite the fact that he was about to be released from a US prison after completing a sentence here, when Kelvin Membreño was deported to El Salvador he was sent to CECOT prison and remains there. The family has not heard from him since.

Israel Bonds are debt securities issued by the State of Israel; effectively loans to the country that accrue interest. Illinois Treasurer Michael Frerichs announced the state was renewing a $15M investment in Israel bonds this past February, and purchasing $10M in new bonds this past March.

EXCLUSIVE: the Working Families Party is putting out a recruitment call for people opposed to data centers in their communities to run for local office the recruitment effort comes just 2 days after Bernie Sanders called for a moratorium on data center construction

the reason you can tell "Artificial Intelligence" is fraudulent is that if you tried to tell an average adult that you believed a statistical average of reddit posts and pirated books from libgen could combine to make a brain, they would laugh at you

I wrote about NYT, CNN, and ABC’s casual acceptance that US dictates and Trump’s arbitrary use of American violence against Venezuela is somehow a form of “international” law. It’s not, and US media should stop implying and/or outright lying that it is.

At the risk of drifting towards Maoism, making our intellectual class do manual labor is increasingly attractive. These health care conversations from people who have never had to rely on their physical body to make ends meet are so offensively detached from reality.

Nuzzi is the Morbius of loud morons

The IDF executed two Palestinian men in Jenin. They verified that they were unarmed, told them to walk back to the building, and then shot them dead.

Both pro and anti pirating folks to me miss the point. There will also be some level of piracy, its inevitable partially just because international distribution is always going to have big holes. Instead of right or wrong we should think of institutions that make piracy more or less likely.

“We will deal with it if it happens. All the [Lebanese Shia] villages around us, they are destroyed and basically uninhabitable. If you ask what is our victory, it is that we have been rebuilding for a year and they haven’t put a single pipe back in the ground.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

A reminder that the US currently sanctions over 12,000 people in this exact way. Some are genuinely bad but many are just political opponents or people someone with a lot of money and influence wanted to see punished, even straight-up business rivals. There is no process of appeal or redress.

Rich to condemn the horrors of socialism while we export death to the tune of 320 billion dollars a year.

@budzinski.house.gov is a self proclaimed trade unionist who just joined with Republicans to condemn socialism. In the conflict between capital and the working class, even on an idiotic symbolic gesture like this, congressional democrats side with capital against the working class every time.

To anyone saying the Palestinians are being short sighted or intransigent about this U.N. resolution: learn a little bit about the history of international mandates over Palestine. If there is no room for Palestinian agency than this is just internationalizing the Israeli occupation.

The program of U.S. higher ed in the last years is repression of Pro Palestinian voices, protecting institutional sex pests, capitulation to the Trump administration & selling out their students to AI companies. I'm sure the fall isn't over but its hard to see how they discredit themselves further.

The White House is objectively and demonstrably pro-sex trafficking

"The UN approved a US plan for Gaza that hands control to foreign powers and delays Palestinian statehood, undermining national authority and sovereignty.

The situation in Palestine is still an ongoing genocide. The situation in Sudan is still an ongoing genocide.

Could argue the misogyny Summers expressed both publicly while president of Harvard and in emails to Epstein says more about the culture at our most elite institutions than any of the frontpage freakouts over academia in the past few years but hey

Rabbi here. The West Bank is absolutely occupied, in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, reaffirmed from the Fourth Hague Convention of 1907, Article 42. It would be helpful if people who didn't know what they were talking about didn't open their uninformed mouths.

The market alone cannot fix the housing crisis cause the housing market relies on homelessness in the same way the labor market relies on unemployment. Structurally, these institutions can not fix the problems we are told they can fix. Same thing w/ the environment -- an ideology of infinite growth

Fuck guys is THIS what the arc of history has been bending towards this whole time???

"The wellness industry is defined by the idea that buying products is what makes you healthy, Wellman explains, with the caveat that you’ll never be able to buy enough." Great article, RIP Teen Vogue.

Peter Coviello with another dynamite piece. lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

We must note that all the condemnation of Tucker Carlson platforming Nick Fuentes has been about anti-Semitism and there has been an alarming and revealing silence around his anti-Black racism and white supremacy. When the head of the Heritage Foundation apologized, he only cited anti-Semitism.

This has been true in the weaponization of white anxiety against black and brown communities for a long time. We have to insist on a material understanding of the world that rejects politically emotive claims that clearly only exist to distort reality.

Not like mainstream media wasn't dogshit on Gaza beforehand so it's hard to say if this is the Weiss influence but claiming that the ceasefire has held "despite serious challenges" without mentioning that Israel has killed 100 people in multiple strikes as well as striking Lebanon, is telling.

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.

Pour one out for a real one

There are so many politicians humiliating the American people by claiming to represent us theres no use in throwing stones but California's 11th voting Pelosi 20 times is deeply embarrassing for yall.

Truly we are in an age where the limits of electoral democracy under capitalism are in such sharp relief. We're never going to vote our way out of climate catastrophe or ending genocide. And these chucklefucks think thats laudable.

Don't vote for any politician memorializing war criminal Dick Chaney.

“[Mamdani’s] presence wasn’t performative. It was pastoral. In a city that so often divides its grief by identity, he crossed the invisible line and simply showed up.” i love this forward.com/opinion/7805...

Centrism is the belief that society achieved perfection around the same time as you became a homeowner

The ceasefire continues according to virtually every media outlet. Israel is demolishing entire neighbourhoods in Gaza to make sure Palestinians never go back. The genocide is ongoing
