www.vcinfodocs.com/venture-capi... The only exit I can think of leads to the planet at the end of "Don't look up". BTW. The movie's theme carries us far into brains of MAGA folks, as "don't look up" also seems to apply to the Epstein case.

Excited to have this out in the world “Disciplining Through Landlord Technologies: Why the Carceral Logics of Tenant Surveillance Require Abolition” onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @antipodeonline.bsky.social

ICE uses extrajudicial violence and intimidation for political ends. It's unconstrained by the law, unaccountable to the public. Its crimes are endorsed at the highest levels. What does this tell us? That it's the force of paramilitary thugs all fascist movements & governments use. It is Trump’s SS.

Wer dieses Interview mit Innenminister Dobrindt liest, wird verstehen, dass es die AfD an der Macht gar nicht braucht, um dieses Land autoritär umzubauen. Jede einzelne Aussage ist erschreckend. Zum Beispiel was er zum Dscholani-Regime sagt: (1/2)

Return of the "Einzelfälle"

“Tech fascists are working to establish their own sovereign, distributed state. This is the Network State: a new, billionaire-backed nation made up of crypto cities and colonies across the United States, Latin America, Africa, the Mediterranean, the Philippines.” www.vcinfodocs.com/venture-capi...

@financialization folks: Over the past months I have been flooded with papers by authors from China in economics/business journals that carry the term "financialization" in the title, but got little to do with the critical political economy perspective of much of the lit. Any idea what's happening?

"Trump ist das Produkt eines Milieus, in dem intellektuelle Anspruchslosigkeit zur kulturellen Norm geworden ist. Dieses Milieu ist nicht bloß ungebildet, es ist programmatisch anti-intellektuell."

The wannabe Nobel Peace Prize winner colluding with the actual winner in waging war is quite the thing.

Rassismusforschung führt in Deutschland ein Schattendasein. Nur 3 Professuren, keine Studiengänge, kaum Lehrveranstaltungen. Das muss sich ändern. Über Jahre arbeitete ich mit den Kolleg*innen von WINRA an einer Bestandsaufnahme. Hier geht's zu ihr: www.winra.org/wissensarchi...

Wer den Stand der Rassismusforschung in den Feldern Geographie, Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Geschichte, Soziologie, Rechtswissenschaften, Erziehungswissenschaften und Soziale Arbeit in Deutschland nachlesen möchte, der kommt an diesem Bericht nicht vorbei. Danke an Alle, die daran mitgewirkt haben
