Rally at Foley Square NYC now: abolish ICE

For @diagrammes.bsky.social, I had a conversation with @naomioreskes.bsky.social on the history of denial from the Cold War to the present climate crisis, on agnotology, on Trump 2.0 and much more. Link to full interview including many portraits and historical sketches (French and English) ⬇️

Happy to post this interesting set of conversations (including one with me on #climatedenial about contemporary affairs: www.diagrammes.fr/en

this May, I sat down with the philosopher Michel Feher, an exception interlocutor, to talk about the Wall Street Consensus, for the project Diagrammes www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuNv...

Une version écrite de notre entretien vidéo avec le politiste @joelowndes.bsky.social Par @williamcallison.bsky.social et @michelfeher.bsky.social pour @aoc-media.bsky.social

« Le Parti républicain suit toujours cette stratégie en deux étapes où ils poussent la suprématie blanche d’un côté, et ouvrent la porte aux groupes de couleur de l’autre. » Par William Callison et Michel Feher. aoc.media/entretien/20...

Very happy to see my latest article, “Protocols of Production: The Absent Factories of Digital Capitalism,” in the pages of @apsrjournal.bsky.social!

Mal wieder ein Re-Post dieses tollen Essays von @veronicagago.bsky.social und @williamcallison.bsky.social - auch weil der Text so gut zu Söders neuester Gillamos-Rede zu "Tofu-Terror" passt, dem widerlichen "Unterleib-Interview" und anderen Performances passt. Unbedingte Leseempfehlung!

From the U.S. to Argentina, El Salvador to Ecuador, the wager of the resurgent right is that spectacles of revenge—trolling the zurdos, owning the libs—can mask or compensate for dispossession. How long the wages of cruelty can substitute for real wages remains to be seen.

📹 Verónica Gago @veronicagago.bsky.social, intellectuelle et figure majeure du féminisme latino-américain, analyse l’Argentine de Milei comme un laboratoire du néolibéralisme mutant. Face à lui, elle mise sur la potencia feminista : le désir de tout changer. Entretien en ligne 👉 buff.ly/SMQHjdw

Incredibly excited to announce that pre-orders for the first issue of The BREAK—DOWN are now live!

A global phenomenon: leaders of the Latin American right describe the project as a “batalla cultural.” But where Gramsci aimed at the capitalist class, their culture war targets progressives and leftists—progres and zurdos, Milei’s favorite epithets. www.bostonreview.net/articles/the...

SCOOP: Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi went into an interview today hoping he would come out a U.S. citizen. Instead, ICE arrested him. theintercept.com/2025/04/14/i...

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who: –has green card –was Columbia Buddhist club president –saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier –said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

this is Mohsen Mahdawi, the green card holder who was just arrested by ICE for rendition at his citizenship interview

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

This is Donald Trump telling the Supreme Court to fuck off, and it is Trump asserting his authority to kidnap and deport whoever he wants, for any “reason.” This is a serious escalation of his dictatorial project.

"One of the darkest days in American history" is absolutely right.

"You don't deserve due process if you're a criminal" has got to be among the least "American" arguments the government has put forward in a century

It's important for people to understand that we're on a trajectory that eventually leads to political prisoners (first non-citizens, then citizens) being sent to these camps.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

"Abolish ICE" was the correct take then and it's the correct take now.

Breaking News: Mohsen Mahdawi, a Columbia student activist who is a legal permanent resident, was arrested by ICE at a meeting he thought was a step to becoming a U.S. citizen. nyti.ms/4cxlwG4

I think there is a lesson here. Just a year ago, Bill Ackman and Mark Zuckerberg were trying to get a slate of their own candidates elected to the Harvard Board of Overseers (which is, I believe, a step below the Corporation Board). It's very good that they lost. www.cnn.com/2024/02/05/b...

If you wrote a story about a regime so comically evil that it literally snatches people from their citizenship interviews, you'd be accused of over-the-top imaginings.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

Trump fired the TVA board member that was pushing the hardest for transparency in ratemaking. Trump used to be for "draining the swamp." Now, he's apparently for draining the most public-focused public servants we have in government: insideclimatenews.org/news/2803202...

Climate experts expressed shock and dismay at the move. “It would be a bit like unplugging the equipment that monitors the vital signs of a patient that is critically ill,” one said. By @fastlerner.bsky.social

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency. Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

🚨NEW: The NC Supreme Court's GOP majority will retroactively nullify 2,000 to 7,000 ballots from military and overseas voters unless they quickly prove their identity—but only those who voted in a few Democratic counties.

From the United States to Argentina, El Salvador to Ecuador, the wager of the resurgent right is that spectacles of revenge—trolling the zurdos, owning the libs—can mask or even compensate for material dispossession. How long these wages of cruelty will substitute for real wages remains to be seen.

The European Union and China are now starting negotiations to abolish EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. This is a major strategic failure for the United States.
