@margaret.bsky.social super hyped on your Big Annie series & the local (to me growing up) labor movement that radicalized me as a young person. (The built up infrastructure in what is essentially a ghost town hits toward the past) also its pronounced cal-YOU-met

We need to get it broadly understood that Stephen Miller's ethnic cleansing will result in a permanent metastasized immigrant carceral state and paramilitary warfare on US streets that goes on *for years.* The internal logic of his agenda dictates this of necessity. newrepublic.com/article/2041...

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

Supreme Court says the president can’t abolish student debt, but he CAN abolish the Department of Education. This isn’t hypocrisy. It’s end times fascism—a fatalistic politics willing torch the government and incinerate the future to maintain hierarchy and subvert democracy.

It's strange the grief one feels, having built and maintained and restored other people's property (with its attendant pride in the craft/attention) coupled with the sting of not (probably) never owning one's own property to enjoy.... Anywho, here's a rockwall I'm fixing....

WEB du bois talks about what enslaved workers did as a general strike. It really changes the narrative away from one of white saviors to one of Black empowerment. This can be understood without diminishing the bravery of northern troops, white and black, citizen and immigrant

It's worth reflecting today on what it took to end legal chattel slavery in the US. And it's worth remembering that the work stoppages of enslaved workers in the south crippled the Confederacy and were the largest and most effective labor action in US history.

You can't hand two Marshall Plans' worth of military aid to a genocidal apartheid state and expect it not to behave like a total bastard. You get what you pay for www.stephensemler.com/p/how-much-m...
The U.S. has given Israel over $250 billion in military aid. This line chart resembles a poorly-drawn staircase and shows the cumulative value of U.S. military aid to Israel in constant 2024 dollars. Military aid to Israel began in 1959. The final value as of 2024 is $251.2 billion. Data: USAID Overseas Loans and Grants, Congressional Research Service, Public Law 118-47, Public Law 118-50. Figures adjusted using GDP deflator.

Necropolitics, Achille Mbembe
“…whom we can declare that we are together? What forms might this solicitude take? Is another politics of the world possible, a politics that no longer necessarily rests upon difference or alterity but instead on a certain idea of the kindred and the in-common? Are we not condemned to live in our exposure to one another, sometimes in the same space? Owing to this structural proximity, there is no longer any "outside" that might be opposed to an "inside," no "elsewhere" that might be opposed to a "here," no "closeness" that might be opposed to a "remoteness." One cannot "sanctuarize" one's own home by fomenting chaos and death far away, in the homes of others. Sooner or later, one will reap at home what one has sown abroad. Sanctuarization can only ever be mutual.“
