kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

The coverage of what's actually happening in the streets in LA is atrocious. No journalists called the "play by play" Why? Americans & the media are so biased towards "law & order" that most couldn't be bothered to report on the street. So I've got no idea what happened after I went to bed. None

Today and tomorrow Italy votes 🗳️ Five ballots, one referendum to repeal some (socially conservative) laws on labour and citizenship, and it will all boil down to turnout — something the current Italian government has explicitly campaign against. 🧵 on recent 🇮🇹 referendum turnouts and predictions:

NO NO NO. It’s not top adviser - it’s a billionaire who bought access to dismantle gov entities investigating his businesses, got unauthorized access to our private data and collected fed funds. And the POTUS who benefited from it DO NOT WHITEWASH this, it is historic, but for different reasons.

Remember when Elon Musk claimed Trump was in the Epstein files — and that’s why they weren’t public? Well, today those tweets vanished 🤔 Coincidence? Or has someone applied too much pressure? Just like Trump, Musk bolts when things get tough. Real courage isn’t found in chickens 🐓

This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.

Ah, Americans discovering the distinctly European "oh, there are tanks on my street, are they firing or is it just some parade?" vibe that we've been rocking since 1939.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

Five years today, the statue of Edward Colston was pulled down in Bristol. Boris Johnson accused protestors of trying to "photoshop" the past and "lie about our history". I'm reposting below a thread I wrote at the time: on history, memory, and how we decide who to celebrate in our public spaces.🧵

Why exactly does @theguardian.com feature ads, and thus benefit financially, from the Israeli government advertising agency in times of genocide? How exactly are ads like this in line with its own advertising policy (let alone basic decency)?

Elon Musk says he wants to found a new centrist party “for the 80% of Americans in the middle.” But from a man who saluted fascist-style at Trump’s inauguration and supports far-right parties, it sounds more like satire than a strategy. Centrism is built on values, not on a billionaire’s impulse.

Finally the EU-style net payer debate is coming to the US. This is long overdue. Blue states subsidise red states. It's always frustrated me that Europeans talk about this phenomenon way too much while Americans don't talk about it at all.
