In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Off to Puerto Rico and ASA for a panel on Du Bois and imperialism.
Some artifacts from the archive: a 1941 letter asking to meet with nationalist leader Pedro Albizu Campos, who was imprisoned in Atlanta at the time, and a postcard from Du Bois’s 1952 trip to San Juan with Shirley Graham.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Several hundred kids just marched past my house because John Marshall High is doing an anti-ICE walk out.
LA's tradition of high schoolers using their voices to push back on racism and inequality is really an inspiring thing.

This summer our family went to Armenia. We took our great grandfather’s poem documenting the massacres of Armenians in Adana in 1909–the prelude to the Armenian genocide—to the Armenian genocide museum. It underscored the lesson—never again for anyone. armenianweekly.com/2025/11/04/t...
The poem goes home
Our great grandfather hadn’t crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 112 years — but he was about to. Maybe not all of him, but a piece of him: a poem he had written after his family was massacred and he was dr...
