Labour are gutting graduate visas just as universities beg for funding and talent.
Instead of taxing the rich, they’re taxing international students.
This isn’t strategy — it’s sabotage.

Action Announcement: 5/1 #HannafordPicket and #march | #migrantJustice / #justiciaMigrante

On April 21st, armed thugs stormed Pleasant Valley Farm in Berkshire, #Vermont — one of the largest #dairy #farms in the state if not the largest — abducting eight workers, one an asylee, marking the largest worksite #arrests in recent #VT history. The 8, ranging 22-41 years of age, all live in Franklin County. They were recruited in order to have a better life for themselves and their families, and to contribute economically to this community. Freedom and local prosperity yanked away, for *nothing* but to stoke #disruption and concentrate power of #lasFascistas through terror. Now these #neighbors of ours are subject to so-called "deportations". This is our own #Zionism. #freePalestine YES these attacks on community, family, society, civilisation, pursuit of life & liberty are the same. You can't be morally nor ethically opposed to one but not another. They're being conducted by the same parasitic people and with the same goals. Life is not a pie, with other, more brown folks after your piece, no. Others' freedom enhances and never diminishes your own, period.

Christine Bramwell (No Borders in Climate Justice) speaking at #peopleAndPlanet critiquing apocalyptic communication in activism that make people fearful of others rather than understanding intersectionality of experiences. Amazingly powerful and inspirational.

We need to find ways to reach out.

Just started with our local #JusticeChoir tonight, and wow, some powerful stuff here. This is another choir's version of one of the pieces we're working on for our #MigrantJustice #Concert on March 23. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=2b7BAa29zVs&si=uJ3a2JKHF9zavZ3g

“Those who build walls are their own prisoners. I am going to go fulfill my proper function in the social organism. I’m going to go unbuild walls.”

I wrote this back in 2015. Still true as ever. Also, I encourage all diaspora Gaels to call out for a ceasefire in Gaza as part of remembering the settler colonial violence that expelled us from Eire.

Oh Chicago police officers, men of the law
You're now under investigation's door
What exploitation of power
To bring women's lives lower
And you must face the justice for sure

Incredible article, which is no surprise to me - Hussan is one of the best organizers I've ever met.

If you're a leftist organizer, activist, or dreamer, this article is a must-read:
