"Forcibly displaced Lebanese are now gathering along the sea; they have nowhere to go; Israel has announced its intent to make conditions that render civilian life unsustainable. A second genocide. Now in Lebanon."(Philip Proudfoot on X) #Israel #Lebanon
Please listen to this. It’s very worth it.
So this is where we are. Gotcha.
For real. The US has been taken over by religious zealots.
It's the latest trade drawing scrutiny on the popular prediction market site for appearing to show an insider making profits on military secrets. n.pr/4ciemrp
'Wyloo's proposed underground copper, nickel and platinum mine in the #RingofFire will not be subject to a federal [or provincial] impact assessment, despite the unified calls of more than half a dozen First Nations.'

Jingoism is cover for settler capitalist impunity. Fast tracking a new mine means violating Treaty 9 and burdening First Nation governments with debt. And only for uncertain short lived windfalls that are also decades away. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/27/n...
Read this thread please. Politicizing ICE has seamlessly turned it into a partisan army in support of capital’s insurgency.
An ethos for the times. “A different way was needed to manage the valleys. Not by profiteering businessmen, nor paternalistic government, but by the locals themselves.”

Here’s Why It Would Be A Mistake To Do Anything That Inconveniences Rich Assholes by Some Rich Asshole
Every day in the NYT and WaPo (joining the chorus with WSJ):
APTN’s Savanna Craig is in Minneapolis, Minnesota this week and she’s speaking with Native American activists who are on the ground protesting and resisting Immigration and Custom Enforcement agents.

A benefit of free buses I hadn’t heard enough about until this piece from @galvinalmanza.bsky.social

In a huge blow to the UK Home Office, the High Court has ruled that the ban of Palestine Action under terrorism legislation is unlawful:
Minneapolis residents are trying a new tactic to slow and deter federal agents from entering city neighborhoods. Called filter blockades, they’re pop-up block parties in the middle of city streets, and they’ve already earned the ire of Trump border czar Tom Homan (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
To fight denialism "is to insist, without qualification, that it is up to the affected communities & only the affected communities to decide whether to exhume the remains of their loved ones."

Washington Post is shuttering its book section, part of the ongoing war against literacy & knowledge.
We at Current Affairs want to pick up the slack by expanding book reviews. Writers: pitch us anytime! And if you subscribe/donate we'll use the funding to commission book coverage.
I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.
it reveals pretty plainly that "merit-based hiring" means "you belong to the correct class and hold the right set of identities"

How to join a shadowy cabal 😊:
A screenshot of WhatsApp: Ash: Sebastián, I have one very pressing question. Sebastián Di Martino: Let me know Ash: Are jaguar soft? Sebastián Di Martino: They are very soft (two hearts on the answer)

Forget abolishing ICE; abolish the GOP.
Half a century ago, the American Indian Movement (AIM) was founded on Franklin Ave. in Minneapolis in response to police violence targeting indigenous residents.
Today, as ICE invades the city, AIM patrols are back, watching over elders, youths and aunties along the same avenue.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.
