One dream I have is that one day physical scientists and biological scientists recognize that they don’t have the same systemic training in social analysis that their colleagues in the humanities and social sciences do and that this means we need help when it comes to doing politics

it’s wild how the democratic party is not going to change and will continue embracing the tired centrists after a decade of losing power on all levels

I see lots of fellow leftists & pro-Palestine ppl celebrating at the seeming ‘rupture’ between Netanyahu & Trump. Folks, it’s Trump. Don’t pay attention to what he says; pay attention to what he does - & what Israel does with his support. Right now, it’s the starving of Gaza.

This makes me think of my grandmother, who was a full blood Seminole Indian raised on a reservation. I never knew her as she died young because the drunken Irish fool she married used her as a brood mare and field hand and beat on her.

If I were a member of Congress I would have already introduced a bill prohibiting ICE agents from wearing face masks and requiring them to wear official identification at all times

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

In a world full of rubble and hunger, my little Hammoud still chooses kindness. He offers food to a stray cat while we barely have enough for ourselves. His small act reminds me: humanity survives in the hearts of our children. Please help us keep that hope alive. chuffed.org/project/1309...

The 16-year-old was dragged away and arrested by Worcester PD because she kicked the car ICE was holding her mother in as her mom was taken away. The day earlier, ICE had taken her dad as well.

Please spread the correct information about Mayor Baraka's arrest. He had apparently been trying for a few days to visit the ICE prison and was rebuffed. Then the members of Congress tried to visit today and were made to wait in the waiting area for 90 minutes. Then 20 ICE Gestapo showed up...

Impossible to communicate to people that once you decide that a group more vulnerable than you can be sacrificed in the name of your own safety or interests that you have already entered into an tacit agreement that you can also be sacrificed in the interests of a group less vulnerable than you.

This is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride. If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.

Two things can be true: President Biden’s economy looked good on paper, yet working class people struggled AND President Trump’s economy is getting worse and working class people are starting to struggle even more. The ruling class wants us to argue about who is better.

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments. If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.
