🎙️ EVENT: Responding to the planetary polycrisis will require intentional thinking on the balance between humans and nature. TOMORROW, join IPS scholar @BasavIPS and Dr. Madhulika Banerjee for a unique discussion on this pluriversal knowledge. Register: ips-dc.org/event/politics…


It's imperative that @SenBillFerg act now to pass the MD Values Act (HB1222) to protect all Maryland residents from our increasingly lawless and reckless federal immigration enforcement system.

🚨 With one day left in MD’s session, President @SenBillFerg is holding the MD Values Act (#HB1222)—a bill that would END 287g, allowing cops to become ICE agents. The House has done its part. We believe in your leadership and values @SenBillFerg. Now is the time to act.

Britain has plundered & pillaged the four corners of the earth for centuries, London the fulcrum of both the Atlantic slave & eastern Opium triangles; now in a world of cascading crises with ordinary people facing destitution, famine, climate catastrophe they want to build a wall

Too many people are able to come to the UK and work illegally. We are putting an end to it.



If this guy is so clueless and incompetent that he can't find any leverage, why is he in a leadership position?

"What leverage do we have?" says Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "They control the House, the Senate and the presidency; it's their government."

A large anti-ICE protest in San Diego escalated into clashes with police after streets were taken over and an unlawful assembly was declared. Perhaps the first major protest escalation under this new regime. Love to everyone who turned out. 10news.com/news/local-new…

Another big stick we have: Canadian airspace. Airlines in the United States use it all the time while en route to destinations all over the world. Perhaps we should hit them with a big fee that makes travel unaffordable for millions of Americans.

"On the one hand, we're a minority in this country, and we remember the racism, the white supremacy, the xenophobia, the bigotry that we experienced during Trump's first term in office in 2016 onwards, and we've already gotten a taste of that in these last few weeks with this…

It’s actually the perfect distillation of what the Sunrise Movement has sadly become - do what we ask, then we’ll move the goalposts and yell at you.

This tweet represents exactly why the US is failing on climate. The Democratic elite thinks the IRA did "what the climate movement asked." It displays no understanding of the science. No clear view of the political dynamics. Rather low-key climate denial and outright complacency

#Cuba rejects the decision of the United States to use the Naval Base in Guantánamo to imprison migrants. The space proposed for the detentions is a portion of Cuba's territory, which remains militarily and illegally occupied against the will of the Cuban nation.

This is Exhibit A in how we don't have a real opposition party in the US. Here's a so-called opposition legislator saying his party was better at fascism than the fascists.

In the first week, Trump removed 7,300 people. On average, Biden was removing 15,000 a week. Under Biden 72% of ICE arrests were criminals. Under Trump it's dropped to around 50%. Trump is removing less people and less criminals. These guys are terrible at everything.

This Democratic Senator is saying that Trump isn’t deporting enough people. This isn’t opposing fascism, it’s encouraging it.

Good. Hopefully his confessions in the book can be used as evidence against him in the Hague.

Not to reissue deference politics in a different guise but for anyone saying organizing working class people supposedly entails adopting the Right's position in the culture wars, I want to know. What was the last campaign you organized? Meeting you went to? Comrade you recruited?


Terrorism is glorified under the current regime in India.

We are disgusted by Trump's reported plans to continue his violent crusade aimed at gutting freedom and democracy with an Executive Order today calling for the deportation of non-citizen anti-war activists, with a particular focus on students. 🧵

Days like this happen and Dems tell us they can’t pass a minimum wage increase and can’t cancel student loans and can’t declare a climate emergency


THIS is what our joke of a federal legislative branch wastes its time on?

Senators negotiated into the night over a bill to sanction the International Criminal Court for issuing arrest warrants for top Israeli officials, ahead of a critical vote to advance the legislation today. buff.ly/4he2feq



This clueless hack can't tell the difference between a "technology of the future" (as he calls it) and a technology that will destroy any possibility of a future by using too much energy & water in the midst of climate catastrophe (what it really is).

The DeepSeek announcement from China has been called by some AI’s “Sputnik moment” for America. It’s precisely why I made AI a top priority in the last Congress and will keep at it. Our competitors are going to use every single opportunity they get to overtake the US’s lead on…
