Sad news. Barbara Ehrenreich, my one and only mother, died on September 1, a few days after her 81st birthday. She was, she made clear, ready to go. She was never much for thoughts and prayers, but you can honor her memory by loving one another, and by fighting like hell.

Lula’s narrow victory is still a massive win for Brazil: for its working class, its Black and Indigenous communities, and against fascism. It’s also a win for the Amazon and the planet itself—and thus v good news for the multiracial working class of the whole world.

Biden very quickly out with a statement congratulating Lula, a signal to Brazilian elite not to try anything funny. A truly strange moment: the US working against a potential right wing coup in South America.

It seems fitting that Twitter, which showed us all how stupid rich people actually are, is going out with one final spectacular illustration of exactly that

Pretty wild something that is clearly a public utility can be single handedly destroyed by a bored unfunny emerald mine heir in less than 60 days.

NEW: Chad Loder (Chad Loder), an outspoken antifascist activist in Los Angeles, has been suspended. This comes amid a recent wave of restorations of far-right accounts and the open mulling of a blanket reinstatement of all banned accounts by Twitter CEO Elon Musk.

In Missouri the new year started with it becoming a crime to sleep on state-owned land. That means streets, parks and beneath bridges and overpasses. You‘ll be fined $750 and face 15 days in jail. In other words poverty is criminalized in Missouri.
