AfD hails US ban on European leftwing groups as historians fear anti-fascist crackdown
German far-right party urges Berlin and other European nations to also designate networks as terrorist organisations
Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party has welcomed the US government’s decision to classify a prominent German anti-fascist group and three other European networks as terrorist organisations, calling on Berlin and other European governments to follow the example.
But historians of antifascism warned that at a time when far-right groups were making electoral gains across the continent, the move set a dangerous precedent that could prepare the ground for a broader crackdown on leftwing activism. Continue reading...

"Please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong *** It is not law enforcement; it is terror."
Letter from Chicago broadcast veterans: Federal immigration agents have traumatized us and eroded our rights
The fact that some federal immigration forces may be leaving soon is cold comfort given the damage they’ve done.

Israeli use of torture in prison rose sharply after 7 October, says freed Palestinian author
Nasser Abu Srour says prisons became like ‘another front’ in Gaza war and tells of struggle to adjust to life outside
A celebrated Palestinian author who was freed last month after more than 32 years in Israeli prisons has said the use of torture increased dramatically during his last two years of captivity as Israel came to treat its jails as another front in the Gaza war.
Nasser Abu Srour, whose prison memoir has been translated into seven languages and is tipped to win a major international literary prize this month, was among more than 150 Palestinians serving life sentences who were freed as part of the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire and then immediately exiled to Egypt, where most remain in limbo.

It doesnt stop there. Did you know "zombies" are an African creation?
Zombie comes from the Haitian creole "zanbi," which itself comes from the Kikongo word "nzambi" that translates to "spirit of a dead person.'

Wanna hear a scary story?
The first American vampire was Black.
Seriously.
78 years before Dracula appeared in American literature, there was "The Black Vampyre" by Uriah D'Arcy.
It was written in 1819 as an antislavery critique and the effect the Haitian Revolution had on the States

UPS just said it cut 48,000 jobs this year.
Here’s why that matters:
💰 The company is making record profits;
📈 Its stock rose after the layoffs.
When a company calls that “savings,” it’s not efficiency — it’s putting profits way over people.
