What the actual fuck??? This is a really scary situation. This family is already facing death threats which is why they are leaving.

Because Dr. Bray is a scholar of anti-fascism.

At the Broadview, IL ICE detention center—

IL state troopers are already pushing non-violent demonstrators out of the street and away from the ICE facility. One arrest so far.

Today a coworker, 100% seriously and with a lot of anger, told me that "too much DEI and safe spaces" is why our school's football team got crushed over the weekend. Lord help me.

Happy pub day to THE WEATHER REPORT by Andrew Ross!

The book on population and climate change you've been waiting for. Grab a copy at one of the many events he has lined up, or order directly from our site: commonnotions.org/the-weather-report

Lol of course he is

The special section from our 50th anniversary issue, The Responsibility of Intellectuals in the Age of Fascism and Genocide, is now online.

Robin D. G. Kelley revisits Noam Chomsky’s classic argument, with @dwaldstreicher.bsky.social, Jennifer Zacharia, and @martinoneill.bsky.social.

Yep. One of the most frustrating things for me has been seeing many "leftist" organizations I used to translate for turning to using machine translations so they can pay us a fraction of the cost to "edit" (read, re-translate) the AI translation.

We'd be remiss to not mention LA LUCHA this Women in Translation month! Coming in October but available to pre-order now, this anthology covers the patriarchy, femicide, the inflections of identity embedded in colour, class, indigenous cultures & more. #WITmonth charcopress.com/bookstore/la...

"How does one render grief in a language that has been trained to neutralize it? How does one carry the truth of an obliterated home into the vocabulary of a world that has long since normalized its destruction? "

Doctors and staff are fainting on duty from hunger in Gaza as growing numbers suffer malnutrition

Ursula von der Leyen says images of civilians killed during the distribution of aid were "unbearable".

She is somehow bearing them. The EU continues to support Israeli genocide.

A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency.

"Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die"

Translation from French to English by @cnorristrent.bsky.social:

I think this is the most horrifying post I have ever read.

Free ebook of our book The Home as Laboratory available until the end of the month. I still think it offers important insights for understanding how the home has become a laboratory for new forms of value extraction and authoritarianism and continues to be a crucial battleground today.

There is no longer any doubt that Israel has set up a fake humanitarian organisation so it can kettle Gazans into a kill box and murder them en masse

It is evil beyond description and in a decent world it would result in immediate, massive, global action to stop them and prosecute those responsible

Our hearts are heavy for the grieving family of Jaime Alanis, who died from injuries sustained during a chaotic raid on Thursday.

We will do everything we can to support them. We continue to work with the hundreds of farm worker families navigating the aftermath of this violent raid.

Let me insist that “the academic” and “the intellectual” are not interchangeable terms: they are not the same thing: they may even be at the opposite ends of the scale. The academic life can actually prevent intellectuals [from] doing serious intellectual work. —Stuart Hall

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Lavonnia Moore, the librarian fired for including one of my books on a display after a child requested it, sounds incredible and what happened to her should be a crime. roughdraftatlanta.com/2025/07/05/l...

"The Nazis... imagined their targets would self-deport. Once the myth of self-deportation collapsed, they turned to more punitive measures. On Tuesday, Noem similarly noted the Everglades camp was meant to frighten immigrants into self-deporting. 'If you don’t,' she said, 'you may end up here.'"

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza.

Truly an atrocity built on atrocity.

It is a little odd hearing philosophers who think about things like ethics and politics simply respond "ChatGPT is here to stay" when talking about the ethics of AI. I am fairly certain murder is too, but that would be a horrible argument about the ethics of it.

Thanks! Just pre-ordered a copy as a birthday present for future me!

Coming out on my birthday! What a great present!
