In her new book, Silky Shah draws on decades of organizing experience to argue that, without abolitionist principles anchoring the migrant justice movement’s strategy and demands, any attempt at challenging “crimmigration” is doomed to fail. boltsmag.org/beyond-crimmig…

Me in Truthout: the tragedy of the 2024 election is Biden and Trump are both trapped in the mental debris of the war on terror. Biden, with his support for Israel's war in Gaza. Trump, by exploiting the rage unleashed by the war on terror’s failures. truthout.org/articles/the-w…
