The prices are higher. The summers are hotter. The wind is stronger, the wage weaker, and fires kindle more easily. Tornados rove like avenging angels through the cities on the plain. Something has changed. Plagues burn deep in the blood. illwill.com/theory-of-th...

It was such an incredible pleasure to see you all at the Group’s conference in Malmö. A true abolitionist earthquake, a space to flourish, think, organise, conspire and act against the global punitive culture! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yesterday the police raided the houses of our close colleagues in Defend Our Juries. They are facing very serious charges just for protesting against a genocide. We demand their immediate release. Read our statement here 👇👇 ccccjustice.org/2025/09/03/e...

Another excellent @europeangroup.bsky.social conference this year in Malmö: programme packed with critical and radical voices and clear commitment in support of Palestine. Grateful for the kind and attentive audience listening to my and @dinesson.bsky.social's paper on zemiology of counterterrorism

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Rachel Reeves proposed deregulation of finance is so clearly a rerun of the worst follies of the past. Can’t she see the lessons of every crash in the last several centuries of capitalism.

Shocking political idiocy and cowardice. The city sucks wealth from the majority, while so-called 'red tape' is in fact protective regulation - not least for the households Reeves claims will benefit. @david-whyte.bsky.social @europeangroup.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/business/202...

“Mr Rolfe was racist, and he worked in and benefited from an organisation with the hallmarks of institutional racism” Such forms of policing clearly ubiquitous. This from Australia ... www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I really love this journal, yet another incredible issue featuring cutting edge critical and radical scholarship, and a great bonus is that so many articles are open/full access. Looking forward to sinking my teeth into this one.
