While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.
Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

I’ve seen more than a thousand shackled ICE detainees boarding the dedicated ICE Air charter flights out of Minneapolis-St. Paul International, but I’ve never seen children among them - apparently because commercial airlines - the ones you or I use to travel - handle the kids.

Something that unsettles me here lately is that I have to look elsewhere for any sense of what’s happening in Ukraine, and what’s happening in Ukraine is very bad indeed.

By pushing Trump to run rampant over Latin America, Rubio is setting into motion the same old song of U.S. meddling that ties his family and mine.

The industrialization of mass deportations in the United States is mutually constitutive of the dehumanisation of the Other.
We don't have to look far in history to know where this thinking ultimately leads.

How MAGA Killed Foreign Influence Research, But Now Demands Social Media Stop Foreign Influence Campaigns
It's fascinating how quickly the tune changes when the shoe's on the other foot. For years, we've been treated to endless screaming about how any effort to identify and counter foreign manipulation on social media was "censorship" and a violation of Americans' free speech rights. The same crowd that turned researchers into pariahs and shut down entire government offices dedicated to studying foreign influence operations are now… demanding that social media platforms identify foreign accounts?
