A new international exchange between two of our project members @eoaproject.bsky.social

Finally out! Watch the video of our event earlier this month on Fortress Fascism. It is an insightful conversation between Nandita Sharma, Silky Shah, Mahamat Daoud, and Seán Binder, moderated by Esme Smithson Swain. youtu.be/8foE1RCSD0g

So happy to be included in this new volume on recognition, ed. by Thomas Khurana and Matt Congdon, alongside many great voices. My contributions explores the structure of counter-recognition, i.e. recognition beyond and against the dominant gaze: www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edi...

In 2016, I had the privilege to teach at the @nssrnews.bsky.social as Theodor Heuss lecturer. Everyone who has ever been there knows what a special place it is for critical research and democratic education. Heartbreaking to see it being destroyed by an incompetent and corrupt leadership.

Berlin hat mehr Polizei pro Einwohner*in als NYC oder London. Und das ist ziemlich teuer: Personalkosten machen ca. 3/4 des jährlichen Polizeibudgets aus. Und es geht noch weiter: 2026/27 sind weitere 1.224 neue Stellen geplant. Zu lesen in unserem Bericht www.racismontrial.org/de/blog/news...

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Hannah Arendt's death, I am sharing Werner Hamacher's essay "The Right to Have Rights", including the most epic takedown in recent philosophical history. read.dukeupress.edu/south-atlant...

Today! Registration is still open. This is going to be 🔥

Israel’s two-year assault on Gaza has left a catastrophic death toll that is even worse than most official estimates, according to European researchers. A study released on Tuesday estimates that “the current violent death toll” in Gaza is between 99,997 and 125,915.

This is what our elite institutions, the country's largest companies, and law enforcement are busy capitulating to. But inspiring to me that it is friends, neighbors, and normies in what look to be pajamas who stand up against fascism in ways our leaders don't. We must remember both of these facts.

Next week! Register now.

Für die Deutsche Zeitschrift für Philosophie habe ich einen Kommentar zu Axel Honneths Beitrag "Der Postkolonialismus und der Westen" geschrieben. Weitere Kommentare kommen von Franziska Dübgen und Viet Anh Nguyen Duc. www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...

1/ In case you missed it: on Sunday evening, Jason Stanley was invited to speak at the Jewish Community of Frankfurt to commemorate the November Pogrom of 1938 (referred to as 'Kristallnacht' in English). His talk was cut short after members of the audience shouted him down. German interview below:

"Neoliberalism has other effects in regions where, in addition to surplus populations, there are those which I would call 'waste,' and this produces effects other than resurgent fascist tendencies." An Exchange between Daniel Loick and Rosaura Martínez-Ruiz

Es ist unglaublich wie viele Menschen in Deutschland noch nie von sde teiman und der systematischen Folter und Vergewaltigungen durch die israelische Armee gehört haben. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sde_Tei...

Die Schriftstellerin, Aktivistin und Philosophin Angela Davis wurde in den 1970er Jahren zur Ikone der Black-Power-Bewegung. Heute zählt sie zu den wichtigsten Vertreter*innen des Abolitionismus –

Wer noch nichts von der Soziologin Nandita Sharma @nsharma101.bsky.social gelesen hat, sollte das unbedingt nachholen. Eine radikale Kritik von Kapitalismus, Rassismus, Postkolonialismus, Grenzen und nationaler Befreiung aus Perspektive der Migrant*innen. Wow! www.nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1195...

RIP Paolo Virno. He was one of the funniest and warmest philosophers. vimeo.com/112510961?fl...

Jeder 2. Taco-Shop hatte in den letzten Monaten ein Zohran-Plakat im Fenster. Dieser Sieg ist das Ergebnis einer working class, migrantischen, trans-inklusiven Allianz. Er zeigt, was alles möglich ist, wenn sich Gegengemeinschaften zusammen tun.

"In the Midst", the blog of the journal @criticaltimes1.bsky.social, publishes analyses of global authoritarianisms. The newest entry is by two of our members, Rosaura Martinez Ruiz and @danielloick.bsky.social, on the role of "surplus" or "waste" populations.

Learned so much from my exchange with Rosaura Martinez Ruiz on surplus populations and authoritarianism - the first of our transnational and transconceptual dialogues on the Emergencies of Authoritarianism @eoaproject.bsky.social

Appreciate this coverage but it is hard to explain to people not in the Chicago area that THESE ARE NOT PROTESTS. This is people coming out of their homes, doing anything in their power to try to stop their neighbors from being kidnapped. It is coming for your city next, please be prepared.

Die Wahlen in den Niederlanden sind kein Sieg der Linken. Es ist natürlich toll, dass der nächsten Regierung vorraussichtlich keine Rechtsextremen mehr angehören werden. Aber insgesamt hat das rechte Lager nur leicht verloren, während das linke Lager so schwach ist wie noch nie in der Geschichte.

To understand Milei's midterm victory, re-watch our Dispatch with Gisela Catanzaro from May of this year, explaining "chainsaw authoritarianism".

Die Anklage steht noch gar nicht, da kündigt sich die nächste Straflosigkeit von Polizeitätern an. Erst wurde Lorenz A. von der #Polizei erschossen, dann werden die Ermittlungen so aufgestellt, dass bereits die Anklage realitätsverzerrend sein dürfte. No Justice - No Peace! taz.de/Todesschuess...

100% We would all do well to insist that people are *migrantized* - they are made into “migrants” in order to create a group who is to be subordinated. We need to abolish the categories of citizen and migrant - and the difference they justify.

Remember: what Trump (and Hegseth and Rubio) are doing to people on small boats in the Caribbean and East Pacific is what they will do to everyone else. Stand up for these murdered people now or join their ranks down the line.

How is life under authoritarian conditions for you?

Die #Migrationspolitik der EU ist an einem kritischen Punkt, der Zerfall der rechtebasierten Ordnung zeichnet sich ab. Gleichzeitig rücken autoritäre Rhetorik & entmenschlichende Diskurse zunehmend in den politischen Mainstream. Podiumsdiskussion. @valeriahaensel.bsky.social @medico2.bsky.social

Looking forward to this conversation on my book on counter-communities with Rahel Jaeggi and Thomas Seibert @ktbberlin.bsky.social in January. We will discuss collective agency in the era of disposability criticaltheoryinberlin.de/event/krise-...

Looking forward to this conference in November: "Resistance, Refusal, Survival" in St. Gallen. Will give a talk on "Surplus, Struggle, and Political Subjectivation". www.unisg.ch/de/universit...

THIS SUNDAY! time to look across contexts at life in authoritarian times and anti-fascist struggles with Rahul Bhatia (Mumbai), Volkan Çidam (Istanbul), Maik Dele Dittrich Frydetzki (Bautzen), Joseph Howley (New York) & Zeynep Gambetti (Istanbul) register at us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

In this Emergency Call we spoke to Gathanga Ndung’u from the Mathare Social Justice Centre about colonial continuities and continuities of resistance, the fight against extrajudicial killings, community-based organizing and the struggle for social justice in Kenya. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI3s...

Fast alle Analysen des Faschismus aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum sind Deutschland- oder US-zentrisch. In den Emergency Calls rufen wir Aktivist*innen aus aller Welt an, um sie um Analyse und Ratschläge zu fragen. Diesmal: Gathanga Ndung'a aus Kenia: youtu.be/GI3sUqfNPPg?... @eoaproject.bsky.social

ASCA, the research school of which I’m the director, has been “blacklisted” by the state of Florida, as reported by @foliacivitatis.bsky.social. We were informed of this in a letter, dated 7 October 2025, which we “ter kennisgeving hebben aangenomen” ("have accepted for information purposes").

Tonight hundreds showed up in rapid response to DHS assaults on street vendors in NYC’s Chinatown. The news from it is mixed, but it seems the response may have cut short the raid and significantly reduced the number of people they detained. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Anthony DiLorenzo: PIX-11 was tipped about ICE raid. NYers react: "People just stopped in their tracks. People were going to school. People were coming home from work or just commuting. And stopped to scream at these ICE agents. Pulled out their phones started recording and telling them to leave."

Seit Monaten rede ich mit Leuten darüber, wie Autoritarismus den Alltag verändert: Gefühle, Beziehungen, Lebensprojekte. Diese Veranstaltung holt Rat ein von Expert*innen: aus den USA, der Türkei, Indien und Deutschland. Es wird sicher spannend. emergencies-of-authoritarianism.org

Leute, wir haben uns vertan: Dank George W. Bush wird in den USA und Europa nicht gleichzeitig auf Winterzeit umgestellt. Daher ist für eine Woche 6 Uhr in Berlin 1 Uhr in New York. Das event wird trotzdem toll. Bitte meldet euch mit diesem Link an 👇👇

"Die Überlegenheit der Unterlegenen" von Daniel Loick darf auch viel stärker noch rezipiert werden. Das formuliert ja auch einen Ansatz, Deklassierung als Marginalisierungsform mit anderen Formen zu verknüpfen.
