What is the point of insisting it is about oil when Trump has stated it is about oil?

12+ hours later we finally get an estimate of how many Venezuelans were killed

Schumer is going to be like I am encouraged by Trump pursuing charges of gun possession for Maduro. Tighter gun control is an issue we democrats have long supported and I believe that is something we can work together on moving forward.

Somewhere out there is a guy about to make an entire career out of saying what Trump is doing is Good because unlike the deep state coups of the past this is all out in the open and will subject Maduro to liberal due process rights

The new state capitalism just did a new hostile takeover.

On one hand, we can point to the invasion of Venezuela being discussed in Project 2025. On the other hand, its just as likely Trump fell asleep while watching Delta Force.

rubio pretty much believes in a reverse domino theory for latin america and since he is effectively running foreign policy in the region i would expect him to see cuba as his next target

Anyway, New Yorkers, the work continues. Get in where you can.

Fresh year Fresh hell Fresh Danish Marxism

Year Zohran

Uh… check out what ChatGPT allegedly told a man before he killed his mother and then himself. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Only like 2 1/2 hours until Zohran abolishes property!

This seems like a good time for @nhold.bsky.social to publish a review essay on Simon Clarke's neglected research on the USSR.

Just published… Tobias Dias, @routhier.bsky.social, and I have edited a special issue of the Nordic Journal of Aesthetics on ‘Marxist Aesthetics’ with a suite of excellent contributions by Hannah Black, Mikkel Bolt, Tobias Dias, Tobias Ertl, E.C. Feiss, Jackqueline Frost, Seb B. Grossmann …

End of year Marxist Aesthetics volume!

We were right to say the fetish is not false consciousness but social domination. But we were wrong to say that consciousness is not also domination.

Western marxism you say? brill.com/display/titl...

Interesting how the western marxism discourse does not seem to have made it over here at all

I voted for him, but if Zohran doesn't have Paul Weller play Down in the Tube Station at Midnight right before he is sworn in at Old City Hall station at midnight, then I will denounce him.

The article accepts the idea that New College was a liberal enclave, and what is happening now is a rebalancing. I think this view is fundamentally wrong, embracing the assumptions of those who see their job as to save campuses from liberalism by any means necessary.

Finally got copies of my book, ARTISTIC LABOUR OF THE BODY which you can buy for your libraries ✨ from @dgb-philosophy.bsky.social Thanks to the @histmat.bsky.social book series - paperback out next year with @haymarketbooks.org

does this mean you have to report if you a CIA operative working to kill the rev? asking for a friend

Someone should tell Moseley Heinrich twitter has been superseded by tankie twitter: www.scienceopen.com/hosted-docum...

interesting how the talking point on twitter about the Rockhill book is that it is 'based on extensive research' and yet what is meant by that seems to be that he visited an archive and provides footnotes.

my new years resolution is to scapegoat the woke

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

Truly incredible m.youtube.com/watch?v=l1Uy...

Texas A&M University will not reinstate a lecturer who was fired after a video of her teaching about gender identity in a children’s literature class went viral, despite a faculty appeals panel unanimously concluding that her dismissal was not justified.

Not too early to add my book to your best of 2026 list: brill.com/display/titl...

Wondering what work is like for all those tasked with delivering those last-minute Christmas gifts? For @proteanmag.com I wrote this on algorithmic management, logistics work, and the possibilities for class struggle at the tail end of the supply chain x.com/brechtfast/s...

Issue 2 is in the mail! Be on the lookout for your copy!

Another important critique of Habermas and the Habermasians link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

Johannes Agnoli on preferring to publish shorter interventions and essays: 'reading takes time, time during which Habermas writes'.

Towers, who is not a social scientist, does not have a PhD, and has never been involved in “doctoral education”, wants to remake a storied center of graduate social research into a Silicon Valley Ideology trade school staffed with adjuncts and devoid of research or researchers

“I think students are really committed to their professors, professors to their students,” said Danielle Twiss, a doctoral student studying Marxist political economy who spoke to the crowd. “We’re able to fight for each other and actually protect each other.” in the @nytimes.com ❤️🖤

Further confirmation AI lacks the I:

Really honored to be among the adjuncts and independent researchers whose work is featured on this list. Thank you @rcolesworthy.bsky.social & @hartmann-villalta.bsky.social for including Solidarity with Children and for honoring non-tenure track scholars each year! Solidarity with adjuncts ❤️

One of the most important December drops every year!
