"This is that rare object—writing that is scholarly and gripping, crammed with insight and the engaging detail of the best history writing. . . McNally reminds us that the question is how to become free."—Gargi Bhattacharyya, author of Rethinking Racial Capitalism

Solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla, departing Barcelona to deliver aid to Gaza and to challenge the apartheid state's blockade. The incorruptible Greta Thunberg is on board.

On the anniversary of his death "There are men who struggle for a day and they are good. There are men who struggle for a year and they are better. There are men who struggle many years, and they are better still. But there are those who struggle all their lives: These are the indispensable ones."

On his 101st birthday, we honor the great James Baldwin. "I pray I’ve done my work so, that when I’ve gone from here . . . when someone finds themselves digging through the ruins . . . they’ll find something . . . that I left behind. And if I’ve done that, then I’ve accomplished something in life."

Trump's "boom" just collapsed. The Bureau of Labor Statistics today revised previous estimates of job growth in recent months months, cutting 258,000 from the prior counts. That puts the three-month job growth at a paltry 35,000. Trump's response? He just fired the commissioner of labor statistics 🤣

Rashid Khalidi calls out Columbia U: "Columbia’s capitulation has turned a university [into] a place of fear and loathing . . . to cover up one of the greatest crimes of this century, the ongoing genocide in Gaza, a crime in which Columbia’s leadership is now fully complicit."

A publication like the Financial Times makes such a statement only in response to a major shift in public opinion. And that shift is a tribute to the dogged persistence of the Palestine solidarity movement in exposing these crimes. Sure, sneer at the FT. But cheer on the global solidarity movement.
The world is failing the Palestinian people -- a failure that will haunt western nations in particular for years to come. The FT editorial board.

A big shoutout to this book. From my blurb: "brian bean shares inspiring examples of people who managed their communities after driving out the police. Their End is Our Beginning: Cops, Capitalism, and Abolition is a much-needed breath of hope as we blaze our path to a better world." —David McNally

Solidarity with union activist Chris Smalls, assaulted by Israeli forces yesterday on the Freedom Flotilla ship, the Handala. The crime committed by Smalls and his comrades on board? Trying to bring life-saving food and medical supplies to Gaza.

Yesterday I said goodbye to the beat-up old paper York U library card that saw me through decades of book borrowing. And, truth, I am now indeed (and have been since I went to Houston) retired faculty at York.
