There it is. The orange man is so stupid, he accidentally gave us the facts: that somewhere between 500,000 and 600,000 have been killed or ethnically cleansed in Gaza since October 2023.

I wrote in "Making Love and Relations Beyond Settler Sex and Family" how alienating I found nuclear family after being raised at my great-grandmother's kitchen table in a family where married couples did not anchor children's wellbeing. What colonizers impose is tragic.

Once again I see lots of white Dems using this to blame Muslims or Arab voters. Stop blaming others for the fact that 57% of white people voted for Trump--only 42% of Whites voted Harris. The 20,000 votes Harris lost in Michigan didn't decide this election-it was white voters. Own it.

one of key functions of immigration raids & crackdowns is not to actually deport all migrants/refugees but to deepen conditions of social precarity & labor deportability. to make migrants more vulnerable to exploitation from bosses & landlords & banks, and to create scapegoats for austerity policies
