And the fact that his petty-ass bitch talked about the party he inherited as morally bankrupt when he fucking supported a genocide is just something else. Not only that, but the only tears this fucking tool has shed was over having to give up the office.

@mollycrabapple.bsky.social's popular history of the Jewish movement that fought European anti-Semitism and refused Zionism’s call to colonize and subjugate, insisting that Here Where We Live Is Our Country. We sat down with Molly and you can listen on Radio Al Hara tomorrow at noon Palestine time

Natalie Sedacca@nataliesedacca.bsky.social · 2mo agoIf it wasn’t bad enough that the govt barred entrants on the health and care worker visa from bringing dependents since March 2024, they have also sent letters to children of parents who arrived legally under the previous rules telling them to leave the country www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Hahaha yes. Also, genuinely, who reads the Telegraph? Like I get that the Mail is cheap & sold everywhere so ppl read it but who *makes the effort* to procure news from the Telegraph? (genuine Q)
Adam Bienkov@adambienkov.bsky.social · 5mo agoSo the Telegraph is taking this well
Such a rich conversation - from a sharp analysis of the historical and internationalist context of the border regime to practical lessons about ongoing resistance movements.

"a community convinced that its financial survival depends on locking people up. It’s not a new phenomenon. In this iteration of the classic prison town... "Trump needs these towns, and he needs local officials who are willing—and sometimes eager—to sign deals...."
◥◤Kriston Capps 250@kristoncapps.bsky.social · 6mo agoIt's worth reading about small towns and why they feel like they need to contract with ICE for prison camps in order to survive.

Hello, I have a new book out in the spring with Picador and I would love it if you could help me spread the word. IF WE TOLERATE THIS draws on years of work, to help readers understand why British politics is hurtling rightwards and what to do about it. Pre-orders: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/if-w...
We don't want to become our own surveillance state, where we're all basically the walking ring cams of social justice. Also, the infrastructure is just impractical. Batteries, mounts, storage cards, secure off-loading, data management. Industries exist to make this kind of thing make sense for cops.
This makes more sense, but it still isn't a good idea. It's important that a thoughtful, conscientious person on the ground decides when to film and when not to. Sometimes, protesters break the law. If everyone's continuously filming everything, there's a lot to subpoena.
Jane Roe Has Hope - Pro-choice Adoptee@janeroehopeful.bsky.social · 6mo agoI read her suggestion as WE (the observers) wear body cams. I‘ve been thinking about that, too. Less conspicuous, plus frees up both hands.
While it has been getting better over the last decade, large part of the UK labour movement suffers from the same problem that @sarahljaffe.bsky.social talks about here. I recently wrote this on the barriers to organising migrant farm workers: www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025...
Why major unions refuse to organise seasonal farm workers
Farm workers go on unofficial strikes as their temporary visas create barriers to union membership

Politics Theory Other@poltheoryother.bsky.social · 6mo ago"The US labour movement often has been guilty of assuming that immigrant workers are unorganisable... Actually the immigrant worker organisations have been the ones leading the labour movement..." - @sarahljaffe.bsky.social
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today. ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
Masked federal agents killing people in the streets to enact violent, racist policies ripping people from communities, into detention or for deportation. Border enforcement breeds, requires, enacts fascism.
I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.
I’m sorry to say it’s only a matter of time before we can no longer count the daily murders on one hand. We’ve already crossed so many lines but there’s a harder one coming up that we can’t afford to pass, perhaps the last one it’s still possible to avoid. The urgency of this moment is absolute.

Here in Broadview, outside Chicago, a large group of faith leaders & protesters have gathered this morning outside of ICE’s detention center. This looks like one of the largest protests on Beach St. in weeks, where the city of Broadview is still enforcing a small “free speech” zone. It’s packed.
It's publication day for Read This When Things Fall Apart! So grateful to our contributors and to @akpress.org for making this book a reality. This is a strange time to be promoting a book, but I believe it's a text that has the potential to help us right now. Please get yourself a copy. ❤️

Also genuine recognition that there are different types of voters/constituencies who have a valuable voice in elections. UK politics speaks only to perceived voters and ignores everyone else. Large part of why we are in the position we are in today.
egg price watcher@bluser12.bsky.social · 9mo agoZohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag. Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.
Don’t listen to anyone who minimizes the threat of a government that “only” wants to tighten the authoritarian surveillance noose for “some” people. THATS ALWAYS HOW IT BEGINS YOU FASCISM ENABLERS.
Full Fact@fullfact.org · 10mo agoOn social media and their website, the Liberal Democrats have claimed “Keir Starmer says everyone in the UK will be required to have mandatory digital ID”. But this isn’t the case, and we can’t find any evidence the Prime Minister said it was.
One dangerously normalised thing (alongside all the other things) is this idea that if there are lots of people supporting something, it's not fascism, it's democracy. Masses of people supported slavery, segregation, apartheid, the british empire... Hitler was elected!
