SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Law enforcement needs to rein in ICE's anti-press abuses and investigate ICE attacks on independent journalists in Chicagoland.

A coalition of Chicago and national press freedom orgs explained why in a letter to the Broadview Police Department and Illinois State Police today.
Independent journalists must be protected from ICE attacks

Min favorit för #Nobelpriset i litteratur är den franske författaren Éric Vuillard.
Han fick Goncourtpriset 2017 för L'Ordre du jour - Dagordningen.
En bok om hur Hitler fick stöd från storfinansen. Relevant också för vår tid.

Trump keeps saying he needs to send federal agents in to protect Chicago because the Police aren't doing the job.
 
You know what makes it hard for our city's brave police officers to do their jobs?

How can the health care system be protected from this happening again? In a broader sense, what democratic reforms are needed to preserve political victories achieved by the American people? Is a comprehensive Green New Deal looking less or more achievable within the Democratic party now?

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center.

The brutality of this regime is on full display.

11 november 2023 tvingades personalen på Al-Nasrsjukhuset att evakuera av israeler som lovade dem att flera bebisar skulle tas om hand av Röda Korset. Mer än två veckor senare hittades kvarlevorna efter bebisarna i sjukhuset.

Ett av alla brott som ingen humanist någonsin borde förlåta Israel för.

The scene inside the Al-Nasr hospital ICU ward is chilling. The tiny bodies of babies, several still attached to wires and tubes that were meant to keep them alive, decomposing in their hospital beds....

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Det stora problemet i det politiska samtalet är inte klotter mot politiker. Det är borgarklassens finansiering av högerextremistiska opinionsbildare och lobbyverksamhet.
