While there has been attention on the forced detention of immigrants in the prisons in Florida, Texas, and El Salvador, there are detention centers that qualify as concentration camps around the country.

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but a week ago, the CSU closed 6 departments (among them, philosophy, women's and gender studies, and economics) and fired 46 tenure-line faculty at Sonoma State. One of those faculty studies AI ethics.
They fired the AI ethics professor. Then, this.

We have too many terrible people around us who think the best thing to do right now is blame anyone who's angry about a genocide instead of the administration that was sponsoring it. That, or misunderstand exit polls and cast blanket aspersions on different populations.

A CONTINUOUS STRUGGLE (May 6) will be the first biography of Martin Sostre, the revolutionary political prisoner who laid the foundation for contemporary abolitionist struggles and Black anarchism. For every copy preordered, we'll send one free to someone in prison. www.akpress.org/a-continuous...
