Y’all, @haymarketbooks.org is offering 40% off their Black Liberation books—including my new book, “Teach Truth: The Struggle for Antiracist Education” and the book I coedited “Balck Lives Matter at School.” www.haymarketbooks.org/blogs/65-40-...

Israeli forces conducted an unprecedented escalation in the West Bank over the weekend by detonating 20 apartment buildings in the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank. The move constituted the largest single demolition operation in the West Bank since 1967.

I stand with immigrants, not colonizers.

America has deep problems, which is why we can’t give up. Protect the vulnerable, organize boycotts and keep fighting. My latest for The Guardian. ⬇️

Great advice for members of the #resistance #USpolitics

Whole Foods workers in Philadelphia just accomplished something huge: they overcame Amazon's union-busting tactics and voted to form the store's first union in over four decades. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

Remember the bad unjust stuff you’ve read in history books? Well bad history is being done today. The future must see our history of resistance in these times.

"On most days, it’s difficult to walk down the bustling street without passing a tamale stand or a roadside merchant selling ornate garments." "But on Tuesday, there was hardly a vendor in sight." Just like early 2017. Our immigrant communities are forced into hiding.

This a rare moment to see the establishment confronted and shamed for their actions and their hypocrisy. She literally spoke truth to power. youtube.com/watch?v=fmLX...

On the 52nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, here's your reminder that there's nothing "pro-life" about abortion bans.

"There is no parenting justice without a free Palestine," as Kim Wilson says. The interview Regina Mahone did with Kim and me for @thenation.com about "We Grow the World Together" is in this print issue!

As @premthakker.bsky.social just said to me on Slack, this Trump second speech, unscripted, to the overflow hall of supporters, ranting about Pelosi, Milley, and Cheney is the REAL speech. It's the REAL him. A petty, paranoid, insecure man, obsessed with grievances and his 'enemies.'

If like me, you’ve been wondering what’s the status of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) banning discrimination based in sex; why it hasn’t been ratified under Biden. Conservatives been exploiting the impact of not having ERA protections. Ms Mag on ERA: msmagazine.com/2024/12/16/b...

Hmm, identity politics is now religious thinking and nonsense according to this interview. @friendlyatheist.com youtu.be/2Mnmo9zuhuw?...

I don’t know, man. This is their CEO arguing racism is over because Clarence Thomas is on the Supreme Court. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/ignoring-r...
