Excellent episode. The discussion of the Venezuelan opposition is great, including an observation I haven't seen elsewhere, that the domestic opposition has largely united in opposition to the war. The closing assessment of the overall course of Chavismo is very helpful

Great episode on Venezuela, exactly why @thedigradio.bsky.social is so essential

Really interesting piece.

Excellent analysis...

Excited to give a book talk at @utoronto.ca tomorrow. This kicks off my winter and spring events tour. I’ll be coming through NYC (again), Chicago, London, Cambridge, Oxford, Boston, Baltimore, Seattle, Santa Cruz and more! Come say hi ☺️ theariofrancos.com/upcoming-events

New Dig covering the US attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro. An expansive conversation analyzing Trump’s imperialist project and assessing Chavismo and its oppositions from Chávez through Maduro with Alejandro Velasco, Gabriel Hetland, and Yoletty Bracho. www.thedigradio.com/podcast/vene...

Those of us in NYC's electorally organized Left have known and learned from Tascha for to close a decade; Z's justly famous field operation introduced her work to a much wider world. Check out this @thedigradio.bsky.social interview for a great primer on her approach. bsky.app/profile/dani...

@danieldenvir.bsky.social “world-historic rizz” made me lol

I have shit to do and I've spent the first week of vacation doing absolutely nothing, so we're putting on the @thedigradio.bsky.social and letting @danieldenvir.bsky.social voice be our background motivation to get these chores done

Andrew Epstein and a team of strategists, speechwriters, designers, filmmakers wrote a big love letter to NYC and inoculated voters against a big money attack campaign.

A highlight of my year was @iliasalami.bsky.social & I chatting with @danieldenvir.bsky.social on how America First may very well end up with America Alone. Global Conjuncture, Part 1: thedigradio.com/podcast/glob... Part 2: thedigradio.com/podcast/new-...

It was an honor to be interviewed in-depth by @lalehkhalili.bsky.social @proteanmag.com A key theme: how to analyze “extractive frontiers” from a world-systemic perspective attentive to both the structures of colonialism and capitalism—and to socio-ecological struggle proteanmag.com/2025/12/22/e...

In this wide-ranging interview, Laleh Khalili (@lalehkhalili.bsky.social) speaks with Thea Riofrancos (@triofrancos.bsky.social) about her new book, "Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism"—on lithium mining, prospects for a just climate transition, and more. proteanmag.com/2025/12/22/e...

Really important shift and as someone swinging away, socialist-ly, for decades it's been heartening to see. You can also tell who is serious about politics by welcoming this change and working with them, vs those who are in it purely for culturally clique reasons and have no pathway to power.

Oh dear. Just noticed the wrong tag in last night's post. Corrected! Listening to the last episode of the epic Thawra series from @thedigradio.bsky.social . Thank you @danieldenvir.bsky.social and Abed Takriti for creating such an amazing resource to explain ... thedigradio.com/Thawra/

New Dig ep is honest, in-depth conversation on how Mamdani administration will do governance as @socialists.nyc and allied movements build power on the ground: opportunities, constraints, contradictions that’ll have big implications for entire socialist project. www.thedigradio.com/podcast/nyc-...

Great episode

This episode is a self-help guide to democracy. It filled me with hope!

Essential conversation that I think objectively lays out that there’s an enormous opportunity to reach and organize liberals who are filled with rage and open to socialist politics like never before. Made me extremely optimistic.

I'm about 1/3 of the way through this @thedigradio.bsky.social episode, but this is a good discussion about the past year of resistance... thedigradio.com/podcast/welc...

Truly wonderful and provocative interview this - stay to the end for an argument about the ways that ecological disasters in the twenty-first century may play the same role that proletarianisation played in the nineteenth - allowing us to "organise across difference" in conditions of emergency.

as someone seriously considering working directly in an upcoming (DSA endorsed) congressional campaign in a deep red district, this episode was great. highly recommend.

The radicalization of liberals is one of the past year's most overlooked stories Talked about this—& what it means for defeating Trump—w/ @leahgreenberg.bsky.social, @waleedshahid.bsky.social, & @danieldenvir.bsky.social on the new @thedigradio.bsky.social episode thedigradio.com/podcast/welc...

to anyone keeping up with the stuff I’m doing IRL, you can probably guess why I am excitedly listening along to @danieldenvir.bsky.social’s most recent @thedigradio.bsky.social episode on mobilizing and organizing an enraged liberal base into socialist politics… while I cook 10 pounds of food

Excellent, inspiring interview w DSA superstar Tascha Van Auken

New Dig ep and we are libbing out hard with @ericblanc.bsky.social, @leahgreenberg.bsky.social, and @waleedshahid.bsky.social. The lib resistance made a sharp left turn since Trump returned: voting Zohran, fighting ICE, and looking favorably upon socialism. www.thedigradio.com/podcast/welc...

This conversation was so good!

Fascinating interview w/ field director of NYC DSA, Tascha Van Auken. Among many other things of note: the imprint of Obama 2008 organizing strategy devised by Marshall Ganz. The demobilization of that organizing cadre in the teeth of the Great Recession was a huge tragedy. Lesson learned.

Mayor of New York sharing links to The Dig; big things are happening

Tascha didn’t just build a volunteer team of more than 100,000 people, she built a community across our city. And there’s no one better suited to tell you how she did it than her. thedigradio.com/podcast/thre...

Zohran posting an episode of The Dig? Can hardly get any better

On Fri. 12/19 I'll join Andreas Malm and Wim Carton to discuss our new books, the deadly combination of accelerating global warming and stalling political action, and what is to be done from a left perspective. Moderated by @learning2live.bsky.social via @haymarketbooks.org & @versobooks.bsky.social

New Dig: guest host @micahuetricht.bsky.social talks w @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social field director Tascha Van Auken. Tascha, architect of @socialists.nyc field program and entire electoral strategy, lays out 100k volunteers on 3 million doors in fascinating detail. www.thedigradio.com/podcast/thre...

“Trump has been able to parlay anti-migrant politics into an authoritarian nightmare because Democrats have worked with Republicans to make it a problem as such. In short, anti-migrant politics has been actively supported at the highest levels of the two major parties.” @danieldenvir.bsky.social:

this was my favorite episode of the year!

It's not just Trump and it's not just Republicans. "For decades, Republicans and Democrats alike have employed xenophobic ideas and policies, declaring time and again that “illegal immigration” is a threat to the nation’s security, wellbeing, and future." www.versobooks.com/products/704...

Dem nativism helped make Trump possible in the first place @danieldenvir.bsky.social www.versobooks.com/products/704...

This episode was sooo good, in part because it contains the clearest discussion of good dependency theory I've heard in a minute.

Happy thoughts only

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Our latest forum is now online. @leaypi.bsky.social opens with a critique of our broken politics of immigration, with responses from @pochoaespejo.bsky.social, @daralind.bsky.social , @danieldenvir.bsky.social, Alex Aleinikoff, Chandran Kukathas, and Ayelet Shachar:

Transcript of @danieldenvir.bsky.social’s interview with Brazilian finance minister/philosopher/dialectician, Fernando Haddad. www.phenomenalworld.org/interviews/b...

instant classic. great introduction to what the left is fundamentally about. surprised to hear Harris has come around on what he calls marketcraft (following Vogel academic.oup.com/book/3977) — the idea that markets are one very important policy tool among many

The new Boston Review Forum is out! With a lead essay by Lea Ypi, and responses by Alexander Aleinikoff, Dara Lind, Daniel Denvir, Chandran Kukathas and Ayelet Shachar and me. @bostonreview.bsky.social @leaypi.bsky.social @danieldenvir.bsky.social @daralind.bsky.social

I’m pleased to contribute to this @bostonreview.bsky.social forum discussing @leaypi.bsky.social essay on “the problem” of migration, which is in fact the crisis of liberal democracy/neoliberal capitalism for which migrants are scapegoated. Looking forward to reading the other contributions. Link 👇

“Could be bananas” @thedigradio.bsky.social will always go deeper than you expect.

New @thedigradio.bsky.social, the left communist-democratic socialist synthesis you’ve been waiting for: it’s my ecumenical and anti-sectarian interview with Malcolm Harris on his lovely book What’s Left. www.thedigradio.com/podcast/what...
