Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

Building an Opposition to Survive the Trump Era

Mass protests have demonstrated a wide range of disagreement with the Trump agenda. But we need smaller local and regional networks to build a more rooted, sustained opposition.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

It’s deeply wrong that we’ve let the fool’s Nobel delusions dominate the conversation

But let’s not delude ourselves: Machado is aligned with the global right wing network.

It’s impossible to believe that the Nobel committee wasn’t aware of all this. Which just leaves one conclusion.

Post by US dictator from a little while back that reads:

Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
Venezuelan democracy activist Maria Corina Machado and President-elect Gonzalez are peacefully expressing the voices and the WILL of the Venezuelan people with hundreds of thousands of people demonstrating against the regime. The great Venezuelan American community in the United States overwhelmingly support a free Venezuela, and strongly supported me. These freedom fighters should not be harmed, and MUST stay SAFE and ALIVE!

Portland frogs remind me of "everyday antifascist" tactics from a few years ago, when activists dressed as unicorns & poop emojis & bananas, dancing to a brass band during a Portland Proud Boys rally. All meant to disrupt the group's “toxic masculinity riot porn” www.huffpost.com/entry/proud-...

My article on the 20 point gaza "peace plan" is now out. Let me tell you why peace processes in the Israeli Palestinian conflict seem to keep failing, with a focus on Tony Blair the menace of the middle east

Gaza peace plan risks borrowing more from Tony Blair’s failures in the Middle East than his success in Northern Ireland

The former British leader was tapped to lead redevelopment efforts in Gaza if a deal is agreed upon.

Treiber des Faschismus - ak analyse & kritik

Im Oktober 1983 entführten Todesschwadronen im Auftrag des spanischen Innenministers im südfranzösischen Bayonne zwei junge Männer, folterten sie zu Tode und ließen ihre Leichen verschwinden. 1984 und 1989 wurden zwei Abgeordnete von weiteren Todeskommandos der Geheimdienste in Bilbao und Madrid erschossen. 1998 Jahre schloss die Polizei – übrigens auf Weisung eines Ermittlungsrichters, der international bis […]

Grüner Kapitalismus oder vollautomatischer Kommunismus? Schön wäre es ja. Doch der kanadische Soziologe Éric Pineault enttäuscht die Hoffnungen von Liberalen und Marxist*innen gleichermaßen. Beide ignorieren die biophysikalischen Grenzen unserer Ökonomien:

Es ist die Entropie, stupid!
