✊ Contre le trumpisme, la solidarité maintenant Comment penser la solidarité face au trumpisme ? Quelles questions stratégiques pour la gauche étatsunienne ? Comment cultiver la lutte et l’espoir, malgré tout ? Entretien avec @mieinouye.bsky.social

Recently revisited my 2023 @bostonreview.bsky.social essay on solidarity and social endurance with @clementpetitj.bsky.social . We talked about the major strategic debates on the US left today, despair and hyperpolitics, and…yoga! Thanks to Clément for the conversation and translation. 🙏🏼

Really appreciated this chance to think about hope and despair with the amazing Jess Feldman!

Some good news: the highest court in New York has ruled to uphold the 15% rent reduction that the Kingston Rent Guidelines Board passed in 2022! This win reflects the tireless organizing of Kingston tenants against skyrocketing rents and mass displacement. www.timesunion.com/hudsonvalley...

I know my students don't love that I always assign group projects but right now, this is why I always assign group projects. Because we are in a group project. All day, every day. How else are you going to practice the skills you need for this?

The Overton Window has shifted all the way to ban all non-white people from coming to America. It was never about illegal immigration.

So excited for this book by the brillliant @annajurkevics.bsky.social !

To make change, movements need to build endurance—the capacity to keep people showing up despite their differences. A forum on solidarity with @mieinouye.bsky.social, @astra.bsky.social, @liztheoharis.kairoscenter.org, Sarah Schulman, Rev. William Barber II, David Roediger, and more:

Need this every time

This is one of the most important topics I’ve written about recently. I really hope that more people understand how 287(g) could change the entire enforcement landscape. This could be an epochal shift. austinkocher.substack.com/p/trump-is-q...

In March, Sandra Harding died. With colleagues from (then) Women's Studies at Utrecht University, where Harding's work was pivotal in PhD training & where I had the pleasure to organize a PhD workshop, together with María Puig de Bellacasa, with Sandra, we wrote this piece. Honoring the pioneers.

alright here's a Take: checks and balances (and federalism) were supposed to protect against tyranny. But instead they just prevented a "tyranny of the majority" from doing universal health care and gun control, and it turns out they do basically nothing to stop an autocrat

Join the #TeslaTakedown Mass Call this Wednesday at 8:30PM ET/ 5:30 PT! It's a great way to be part of the movement if you aren't able to get out into the street and a night of solidarity for those who have! With special guests! Join up at the link 👇

New Parapraxis so stunning i don’t want to open it! 👀@parapraxismag.bsky.social

We like our coffee like we like our unions, STRONG! 💪 We’re still buzzing over Town of Ulster Starbucks workers' recent vote to unionize & join @sbworkersunited.bsky.social. Now we’re showing up to support other not-yet-union stores ahead of the company’s shareholder meeting next week.🤢

Oh my god

The argument is that the words “genocide,” “settler colonialism,” and “apartheid” in conjunction with “Palestine” are intrinsically antisemitic. This argument is itself antisemitic. The Jewish people are not committing a genocide. Israel, with the backing of the United States, is.

thinking of Aaron Bushnell "It is to scream to the world that you could find no alternative, and in that respect it is a challenge to the rest of us to prove with our own freedom that there are other ways to meaningfully resist a society whose cruelty has become intolerable."

Great to know that Democrats’ total spinelessness in this moment is actually part of a brilliant strategy. Meanwhile Bernie continues his solo tour. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/o...

all of central Brooklyn is playing a game of Egg The Cybertruck with this one guy who keeps street parking in the hood

Today marks the anniversary of the signing of Executive Order 9066. EO 9066 was signed on February 19, 1942, to mandate the relocation and internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.

Excellent and exactly right

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

I interviewed Colin Smalley of the Federal Unionists Network about government worker organizing against the Trump-Musk Coup: jacobin.com/2025/02/fede...

This is the message we need to send at #TeslaTakedown protests today: we know Tesla's trillion dollar valuation is built on fraud and abuse, and we are coming for it. We will make Tesla ownership a taboo, cars and stock, unthinkable to anyone who believes in the basic values of the U.S. constitution

I might be turning into the type of guy who carries these around to leave under people's windshields

One concrete thing everybody can do to support federal workers is participate in (and spread the word about) the February 19 Save Our Services day of action bit.ly/SOSaction

Hard to exaggerate the stakes: If large numbers of unions, workers, and activists stand up in solidarity with federal workers, Musk can be isolated and defeated But if they don't, the immediate future for all our movements is looking pretty bleak

Musk’s attacks on federal workers pose an existential threat to the whole labor movement, all workers, and the broad Left It’s alarming that most people don’t yet understand the stakes 🧵

We’re expanding the Hudson Valley bureau at @timesunion.com. Come work with me at the best news organization in upstate New York. DM with any questions! eevd.fa.us6.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

The only hope for higher ed is the academic labor movement. Join this @higheredlabor.bsky.social call next week to plan our fight us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Social scientists who study social movements have a specific responsibility in this moment: a) explaining to a general audience how and why people get involved (because the myth of individual realization is this, a myth) b) pointing towards how to implement that into concrete organizing tasks

From @aaup.bsky.social, what to do if ICE is on your campus.

Extremely proud and honored the great Emma Tai reviewed "Occupation: Organizer" from @haymarketbooks.org for @convergencemag.com. And that she weaves @astra.bsky.social's "Democracy May Not Exist But We’ll Miss it When It’s Gone" into her reading 🙏 convergencemag.com/articles/occ...
