21-year-old activist injured by ICE:
I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

Good column. Another thing: “if you don’t have rules, you get prejudices” is literally the same argument as “if you have the Gaza war, you have the murder of innocents in Sydney” - an argument that neither of these politicians would make in public!
"When you don't have rules, you get prejudices", Tony Blair and Shabana Mahmood. My Eastern Eye column this week agrees that control does matter to democratic consent - but warns against conflating legitimate concerns with illegitimate prejudices & racist slurs

Still laughing at this. Cannot imagine a more self-discrediting argument for socialism than “under socialism, you should be able to gesture to your crotch, tell a customer to suck it and keep your job”.
“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.
