It's hard to square "Marx was an accelerationist" with the attention paid to things like child labor and women's exploitation in Capital. I agree he saw the potential of harnessing productive forces but that's not the same thing. Relations of production matter too - and I'd argue they're paramount.

The current war on Iran is UNIQUELY unpopular by U.S. standards.

Man, I wish some lefty did a five-part podcast series on the modern history of Iran: thedigradio.com/History%20of...

For @truthout.org I wrote an analysis of the mass deportation boom during 2025. Amid all the spectacle, the passage of the funding bill in July was an ominous milestone in the history of U.S. immigration policy and the Trump administration's aspiring fascism. truthout.org/articles/tru...

The RENTAL Act was bad and rotten from the start. It’s like sole source sports betting - we’ll continue to discover it’s even worse than we already thought.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

anyway ludicrous to think the right question is “how did DHS lose its way??” and not “why did we build a domestic security super agency in the first place, and who has that power served”

I know it's frustrating in moments of crisis but St. Jane remains correct: there are no shortcuts. You need to build power before you can wield it. There are fights you can pick and lives you can save as you go but if you skip ahead beyond your capacity then the effort and its people won't survive.

One of the fundamental differences between the Democratic and Republican parties is that the Republican Party tends to organize with a long-term perspective in mind; their wins might not be immediate, but they are often strategically positioned to yield significant impact over time.
