If you're curious about what's actually happening in France, read this. Even liberal outlets like the Guardian talk only of 'riots' and 'looting', without talking about the motivations of protesters or the facts on the ground. This does. marxist.com/france-17-oc...

Not surprising, but completely disgusting. SSI payments are already way below what any adult needs to survive in the United States; people can only survive on it without being homeless if they're in public housing or have friends/family to rely on for housing. This hurts people who have the latter.
A new rule change will allow the government to count having a place to sleep as income, and deduct it from SSI payments. progressive.org/latest/got-a...
New t-shirt today! Shoutout to @brucelabruce.bsky.social for the design! I'm not sure if Jane Fonda really gets to stay in the club, but I like to think that Emma Goldman and Rosa Luxemburg are glaring at her liberal politics disapprovingly. 😛

"Time traveling Nazis have taken over the world," reads the game's official description. "No one seems to care. Guess it's up to you. Use inventive weapons. Craft unique builds. Kill them all."
State Department Cuts Price of Renouncing U.S. Citizenship to $450 www.nytimes.com/2026/03/15/u... It's a fire-sale, everyone! Seriously...if I had dual status somewhere, I might consider it.
Today is Rosa Luxemburg's birthday. It's never been a better time to re-read Reform or Revolution?, her classic work arguing for socialist revolution and against the limits of social democracy. www.marxists.org/archive/luxe...

As the US empire bleeds out, it makes the world bleed with it. Divest from war. Invest in people. Elect me governor of California, the 3rd largest economy, and we'll lead the way to post-imperial prosperity. Join the fight. The fate of the world depends on it. butchware4gov.com ✊🏽
I'm not sure how many followers I have in the UK, but I wanted to share this. I've visited Manchester twice, for a total of about 3 weeks, so I think I've spent more time there than the Reform candidate. I'm encouraged by how the Green Party is growing there.
Meet Hannah Spencer - Green MP candidate for Gorton and Denton, and the only vote to stop Reform.
@votecnp.bsky.social Good to see our religious leaders in California taking a stand. What's happening to immigrants in the United States is morally abhorrent. missionlocal.org/2025/12/fait...

My fiance is a citizen of one of the 19 visa ban countries, even though he hasn't lived there for 10 years. But I received notice a visa would be denied. We applied over a year ago. And now I get people here telling me to wait for the courts. youtu.be/L_dVEtLPdDE?...

For some reason, the killing of Anas al-Sharif by Israel yesterday struck me as especially horrifying. I wanted to share this, because it's important that we don't lose sight of our humanity in these dark times.
missionlocal.org/2025/08/habe... There aren't enough immigration attorneys in the right place at the right time for this to work across the board, but it's good to see that the right of habeas corpus still exists in the United States. For now.
@votecnp.bsky.social More white supremacist terror from the Trump Administration. It's depressing to think of this happening to thousands of people around the United States and in California. #FreeTheBear missionlocal.org/2025/07/four...
@votecnp.bsky.social This article is painful to read. The immigration policies of the federal government are ripping away Californians who have lived here for years: missionlocal.org/2025/07/ice-... We should be able to set *our own* policies on immigration.
We'll have to see if a viable movement emerges for this, but I gotta say, with the actions of the federal government over the past few months targeting California communities, if there was a referendum on secession, I know how I'd vote.
Nazis plan more Nazi shit. Let’s get out of this dying fascist empire so we can protect our children, families, communities from their fascist terror. #GeneralStrike until all Feds leave the California Republic! #LiberateCalifornia #FreeTheBear #AbolishICE!
Fascism needs to be fought everywhere. socialistworker.co.uk/anti-racism/...
