  • How Australia Exploited the Iranian Women’s Football Team

    When it comes to asylum seekers, the Australian political machine has prided itself on using cruelty and a purposely obtuse understanding of international law. Bolted sovereignty has been elevated over rights and humanitarianism, while political interests have abominated the dark, hungering hordes heading to the island continent on unseaworthy boats. From the early 1990s, the […]

  • Fearing Immigration: The Australian Coalition and the Return of Bad Habits

    Killing political leaders – metaphorically and actually – often ushers in a silly season where the Mad Hatter presides over an imbecilic party. Amidst coups, defections, dethronements and confusions on the right of Australia politics, we see ugly topics return to the fore with ghastly predictability. The Liberals, the Nationals, and Pauline Hanson’s One Nation […]

  • Architecture of the National Security State

    Architecture of the National Security State

    Introduction What we are witnessing in the United States today is not a series of isolated policy excesses or unfortunate “overreaches,” but the maturation of a coherent architecture of repression — a national security state that fuses intelligence, policing, militarization, and ideological discipline into a single system of control. This system is not reactive; it […]

  • U.S. Racist Immigration Policy Toward Haiti Reinforces Imperialism and Weakens Popular Sovereignty

    On November 26th, 2025, the Trump administration terminated Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti using nearly identical language to the TPS cancellations earlier this year for displaced Venezuelans and affecting upward of 353,000 Haitian migrants. In both cases, the Department of Homeland Security claimed that continued protections were “not in the national security or foreign […]

    As Public Support for ICE Drops, Women’s March WIN Launches Campaign Urging Agents to Walk Away

    As the Trump administration enters its eleventh month pushing aggressive immigration crackdowns, public sentiment appears to be shifting. A new YouGov survey finds growing discomfort with the broad and aggressive methods being employed by the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE). According to the poll, a majority (53%) of Americans somewhat or strongly disapprove of […]

  • Contract Bikies and Bribed Politicians: Australia’s Nauru Refugee Deal

    It began with the colourful confessions of former Australian Army rifleman Oisin Donohoe. In a report published in The Age on November 8, Donohoe made salty allegations that the private security intended for overseeing “unlawful noncitizens” transferred from Australia to Nauru would be staffed by members of the Finks outlaw motorcycle gang. “It was pretty […]

  • How Immigrant Communities Are Reclaiming Media on Their Own Terms

    In an age of relentless misinformation, immigrant communities in the United States are not just resisting—they are rebuilding. While corporate and legacy news outlets often filter immigrant experiences through sensationalism, victimization, or meritocratic tropes, independent and bilingual media are quietly transforming how stories of migration are told. And in doing so, they’re also restoring something […]

  • Refugee Dunghills: Australia Makes Another Nauru Deal

    Over the last two decades, Australia has made a name for itself by pursuing barbaric policies towards refugees and asylum seekers arriving by sea. Priding these moves as noble and humanitarian, cruelty born of kindness, these have entailed attacking the right to seek asylum guaranteed under the United Nations Refugee Convention of 1951 and the […]

  • Trump Vulnerable to Progressive Populism

    Democrats are politically flummoxed by the flurry of regressive proposals and policies daily manufactured by the Trump administration. Party leadership has been reduced to a reactionary political presence, simply reacting to Trump’s initiatives. Weakened and disoriented, the party seems incapable of effectively challenging Trump’s disingenuous populism. They do not forcefully attack his many vulnerabilities. Democratic […]
