Persistently annoyed by liberal refusal to see the longstanding system of immigration, the one that effectively places undocumented workers outside of the protections of labor law and subjects them to racial terror, as a strategy of labor discipline that affects all workers.

I went to the Swedish-language Christmas service at the 130-year-old Swedish church with my mom tonight, and the invocation of “our many immigrant and immigrating sisters and brothers around the world whose current state resembles our church's earliest years” got me good and choked up in the pew.

My town. We are not good Germans.

Have you read Spent by Alison Bechdel? Highly recommend!! www.harpercollins.com/products/spe...

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

Tucson today, folks

They sprayed MY representative.

Tucson leaders are condemning federal tactics after Rep. Adelita Grijalva and protesters were pepper sprayed after an immigration raid at Taco Giro in Barrio Hollywood

Woke up in the middle of the night to find out that a client has been disappeared by ICE.

Congress can act when it wants to. Remember the Church committee's report, 50 years ago.

Negate ‘Europe’ and make its concept no more. Walk from the Amur to the Nile to the Danube and stomp on the faces of anyone evoking such a ridiculous idea. Then for good measure, take a saw to the fences at the ‘border’ of what the hacks call the USA.

Lawless

We've got something for EVERYONE! 🎁

What we learned/confirmed yesterday: TEP customers are paying for the power that TEP will supply to Beale. Beale doesn’t have a customer lined up, so if they build this thing it will be empty. Beale will need backup power, and this may come from diesel, which is polluting and harmful.

Oh shit.

A lot of what people imagine politically for this country can't actually happen under the current Democratic party. That's something that I don't see lots of people actually reckoning with. There is no way to do most of the things that some people want to do through the Democratic party.

Look, I’ve been drinking and listening to schmaltzy music. I have A LOT to say

“No ceiling”—yeah, no ceiling on social security contributions. Now THAT I can get behind. WHY IS THERE EVEN A CEILING NOW? Fucking class war on all of us below

Who’s crying at the bar to Wind of Change?? That can’t be me

Moscow rooftop

I always forget how hot it is in Moscow in the winter. This country loves its heating. I am drenched in sweat and panting out the fortochka

OMG herring heaven

Help us send 2,000 books to readers who are incarcerated this winter through our Books Not Bars program

For centuries, cities have been planned by and for able-bodied, gainfully-employed men. Feminist urban planning isn’t proposing the opposite, but a model that considers all stages of human life, from infancy to old age, without giving greater importance to the productive-work stage. bit.ly/49uev9N

I’m so charmed by Russian schoolchildren on a field trip to the historical museum

FIRRP does great work, give them your money and support.

I’m traveling and have so far taken two photos of myself and nothing else

TODAY: @felipedlh.bsky.social tracks a sad trend; “a deep-seated regret, among immigrants, for having come to the United States at all.” flaminghydra.com/r/fc898c29?m... r

Happy Holidays! ALL Haymarket Books are 40% off through January 2nd!

Arrived in Moscow! Weather isn’t bad. This is the view from my window

"ICE is grabbing people from the streets who aren't even undocumented or don't have criminal records at all" babe i don't think there is a group of people ICE should be grabbing people off the streets in the first place

Give me Georgian food ALL THE TIME

In April 2009, the Washington Post asked 10 writers to make the case for something that deserves to be tossed out as part of "spring cleaning." I chose Larry Summers. Better late than never. Unlocked version of my 16-year-old article below. naomiklein.org/why-we-shoul...

When anyone asks me for a fast example of how global neoliberalism is structurally racist, I share Larry Summers’ famous memo describing Africa as “under polluted” and of “little marginal utility” as grounds for shipping toxic waste to the continent en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summers...

Times are getting more and more dangerous

History warns that authoritarian overreach often starts by targeting trans and immigrant communities. Because our stories show what's possible. This #TransgenderAwarenessWeek, we honor trans brilliance & leadership, standing for a world where all can live authentically with dignity, free from fear.

Housing organizers in Tucson say that criminalizing homelessness makes it harder for mutual aid groups and city workers to connect with people living outside and build the trust needed to offer supplies, shelter, and treatment.

teaching a short excerpt from rob nixon’s ‘slow violence’ this morning. this is how nixon starts the book, reminding you that the global south has always known larry summers for the moral degenerate that he is.

That's why I voted for her!!!!

Reflections on last week's #WeekWithoutDriving in a city that still refuses to acknowledge the existence of its nondrivers — which a comprehensive new report claims make up one-third of LA's population

Ok, but I don’t think WE want that, do we?

With the passing of new anti-LGBTQ propaganda law in Kazakhstan (I think it’s a done deal and will be signed off on by the senate and President), we’re in a strange situation where Tajikistan has the least homophobic legislation in Central Asia.

oh hey, looks like there is moral rot at the core of this morally rotten empire
