The threat of ICE has tons of people on high alert, the result is claims of ICE seen without firm or specific info people can actually use — & sometimes, no ICE at all. It’s never “ICE spotted in Queens,” but “4 SUVs labeled DHS seen parked on 57th & 59th in Maspeth at 2:34pm.” Be specific!

wish my life was like a 90's movie where all my friends work in record stores and bookshops and coffee shops and we see really cool bands in small little clubs and get breakfast together and like hang out on roofs and shit

Their research found that patrons experience refuge, joy, connection, purpose, and expansion through their library use. Is this why libraries are such a threat? bookriot.com/innovative-s...

My newsletter is FREE because it's not cool to paywall political content in a political crisis. But if you appreciate any of the work I've done over the last decades, consider joining as a paid subscriber, so it can continue. Thank you! sarahkendzior.substack.com

this reminds me of the documentary The Grab (2022) and how wealthy countries are carving up the resources of the planet to continue hoarding for themselves as climate change and fascism worsen survival chances for everyone else

“He delights in the fact that those around him fear his power—and not only that, but that they perceive he will wield it arbitrarily. He loves that they know the old ties—allegiances, treaties, laws, norms—will not protect them. If they are to prosper, they must pay obeisance to the king.”

The past 5 years have transformed a lot of my analyses. Most importantly, I now viscerally understand that people will acclimate to any and everything.

every new restaurant in every major city is either called Thistle+Thorn and thinks adding turmeric to brussel sprouts makes them worth $30 or is called Burger Bitch and has a neon sign in the window that says “im gonna fuck a hamburger”

I'm looking forward to Tourmaline's biography of Marsha P coming in May: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/677583...

NYU has closed all entrances/exits to Bobst library, leaving students waiting outside and stuck inside. ESU (Emergency Services Unit) spotted surveying the sleeping dragons demonstrators are blockading with as rallying energy increases.

It’s not enough to control everything about our lives and live in idle luxury off our labor—the rich demand adoration as well. But if people really understand their parasitic position in society, that’s out of the question.

This is useful as what it says it is: the beginning of a roadmap. Key takeaways: Don’t reinvent the wheel, emphasize multiple tactics, and community is everything.

I've been working on a project focused in part on John Brown for the past few months. And the thing that is evident is that John Brown was rooted and embedded in a COMMUNITY and that's what enabled him to do what he did. He was remarkable but not singular. This offers contemporary lessons.

does anyone have proof of #luigi himself actually claiming responsibility for any of these documents being labeled as his #manifesto that's what I'm really curious about right now I hope it will all come out in the trial, but knowing this legal system.... 👀there will not be a fair outcome

Really coming down to the wire on this one.

The legal system 🤝 The media Bullshitting fairytales for everyone to believe

Every time I see this man I'm going to remind everyone who will listen that his career started under Obama where he was ICE's head of deportations & innovated a policy of separating children from parents as a migration deterrent. Obama gave him a Presidential Rank Award for Distinguished Executives.

"They are stripping down the United States and selling it for parts and trying to convince ordinary Americans that it was their own idea." THEY KNEW (2022)

It's rare you get such a clear illustration of whose lives have value in America and whose don't

It’s cool that we just had a presidential election where healthcare basically never came up. They don't even pretend to care anymore

NJ passes a law preventing cranky fucknuts from going apeshit on school libraries and librarians. www.nj.com/politics/202...

THIS is my Sentiment

The state of media for Americans is so completely broken

The French left and far right joined forces to reject austerity, exposing the hollowing of the political center.

This is wild. Talk about State Capture.

Outside SCOTUS where a Freedom To Be Ourselves rally in support of trans rights is underway. DC evidently granted permits to both this & a transphobic counter right beside it, which is calling for people to worship Jesus & conversion therapy. They’re countered by chants of “Protect trans kids.”

I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage. Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy

Good morning, it's #GivingTuesday. We're $7130 away from unlocking my match. Please give what you can and also share with others. Thank you!

In light of today’s events in South Korea, it’s worth re-examining Trump’s plan to purge the US military of non-loyalist leaders:

There was an attempted coup d'etat 4 years ago and that person responsible was elected President again. LOL.

#OtD 2 Dec 1859 US abolitionist John Brown was executed by the state of Virginia for his leadership in a plot to incite an armed rebellion against slavery stories.workingclasshistory....

People adapt to fascism. That's what you learn when you read history. And it's easy for those who are not its direct targets to do.

A horrible birthday to the COVID pandemic and an RIP to public health 🪦 We could have saved a lot of lives in the last 5 years and avoided so much COVID-associated harm by combining interventions that work. Instead we gave up doing anything on a population level when it became “too hard”.

Israel has obliterated the mausoleum of Simon Peter, the Apostle of Christ, in Shama, southern Lebanon. A sacred site that has stood for over 2,000 years, now lies in ruins. This is not “self-defense”. This is a war crime and a crime against history.
