screenshot of text::"The United Nations instituted International Women’s Day (IWD) in 1975—or so the official story runs. Few remember not only that the origins of March 8 lie in the history of the international workers’ movement, but that it was the socialist movement in the United States that first launched the idea of a day devoted to women’s rights centered on working-class women. In fact, the Socialist Party USA first established a day of education and action around women’s rights called “Woman’s Day” in 1908, and the following year U.S. socialists held demonstrations in several cities to demand women’s suffrage. In 1910, German socialist Clara Zetkin proposed the transformation of the U.S. Woman’s Day into an international day of action—International Working Women’s Day—which, in 1914, started being celebrated on March 8. Three years later, on March 8, 1917, Russian women workers took to the streets in St. Petersburg, organizing a strike to demand bread and peace. It was the beginning of the Russian Revolution."

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

James Baldwin

We don’t have access to the huge resources that the right can throw at elections, and this is a good thing. We have to build things from the ground up and can only rely on actually winning people over.

People like Trump only win because of low turnouts, voter intimidation/suppression/disenfranchisement, apathy, false information, false promises and the weakness of electoral opposition. Those victories are built on sand.

Nice work Greens. Effective grassroots organising has the long-term benefit of establishing an actual political base as opposed to temporary and unreliable support built on grievance and hate, or victories engineered through political tricks and misinformation.

The report includes a chapter where we detail Anglo American's responsibility for severe environmental and social rupture in Chile, Peru and Colombia, including melting glaciers, polluted groundwater, diverted rivers and displaced communities.

Does anyone know of books about abolishing the police that are focused on the UK police instead of the US police?

Immigration Enforcement raids at the highest level in UK history Record number of arrests and raids of illegal workers across the UK including 187 raids in Northern Ireland leading to 234 arrests.

Once again tapping my sign: ICE exist in the UK 🚨 They have had arrest powers since 2000. This government - not a hypothetical future one - is working harder than ever before to raid homes and businesses.

The Black Feminist Collective That Gave Us Identity Politics The Combahee River Collective’s 1977 statement reshaped the politics of the Black left and beyond.

“Overcoming difference is not the same as washing it away. Political solidarity is a recognition that we have a mutual interest in organizing together to create a political force that can change the conditions that we all suffer from, even if that suffering looks different based on social position.”

Decided in this moment to reread some Galeano. First page: “The more freedom is extended to business, the more prisons have to be built for those who suffer from that business.”

not surprising but saddened to see in my Latinx and specifically Venezuelan group chats people saying 'theyve been saved' and how they've been waiting so long for this moment.....even though I dont agree its important to understand the mindset of the people who have lived through Maduro's regime..

Hymn for Every Version of You This New Year Be more present for the universes inside you. Make more pilgrimages to the interiors of your own heart. Clear away the smoke, the wreckage that tries to convince you that you do not deserve joy. Tell your friends you love them more often. Tell good people they are needed; include yourself in that list. When love comes knocking, do not doubt it. Instead open the door with warmth and let it in. When grief claws at your window, don't ignore it. Instead, hold it close and let it stay as long as it needs. Do not let the lamp of hope dim in the chaos that descends. May peace know you by name. May you be greeted by birdsong often. May hope curl up like a well loved old dog at the end of your bed every night. And when the ruins of your past call your name, remember the monument of courage you built in their place. - Nikita Gill
