Abdullah Ebrahim had the townships covered as they polished their shoes and sipped beer early on a Sunday morning. Church could wait. In any case for many this was a church service never to be missed. youtu.be/AOb5J0Y9pfA?...

In a time of almost overwhelmingly bad news, fantastic news that the Democratic candidate for New York mayor is a socialist and pro-Palestine. Plus, he’s an Arsenal fan! What’s not to love?!

1998. "I have a horror of... men & women who are consumed by hate & distrust, who cloak their bigotry & intolerance in high-sounding moral & religious principles. Such are the rabid Republicans....

"After 25 years of working on transatlantic relations, I am aware of the tendency of crisis moments like this to fade and relationships to trend back toward historical norms. But this time is different." A careful & informed assessment of where we are now. It's not a good place.

Just noticed for the first time today that Las Vegas is just across the road from our office at the Casual Workers Advice Office…😉 Also, we launched our first weekly podcast about workers’ rights today — so overall another fine day in Germiston, South Africa. #street #germiston #workers

Bayard Rustin is not unsung. But he is certainly too little sung. A pioneer of non-violent civil disobedience. Principal architect of the 1963 March on Washington. Quietly but proudly gay.

I'm taking a French class in which daily music videos are part of the course materials. I've already learned not to make fun of French pop culture, because they just be making fun of themselves. Sometimes, tho, it's hard to resist. Par exemple, celui-ci... youtu.be/FnAgD6J65Xc?...
