HIGHLY recommend Vicky Osterweil's "The Extended Universe" which comes out this week from @haymarketbooks.org. Great blend of research and cultural criticism that gets into how Disney has shaped global policy w/ reach far beyond Hollywood by dissecting the business principles of IP.

This Easter weekend, there are a number of counter protests against far right anti-migrant demonstrations in cities around England. If you're taking part, make sure you know your rights greenandblackcross.org/guides/key-a...

My latest for the Markaz Review, on Du Bois, Marco Rubio and world war themarkaz.org/the-souls-of...

why is this so funny

i appear to have asked a question akin to "how do Rebel Alliance schoolteachers feel about Darth Vader?"

I talked to the brilliant Kathi Weeks about her new book, Abolition Archives, Feminist Futures, about Angela Davis, Shulamith Firestone, and Donna Haraway, and about abolishing work, the prison, and the family

I went to Paris and wrote about the GOATS Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo. For @flaminghydra.com: flaminghydra.com/surrealist-s...

June Jordan said, "Activism... propels you forward, from one hard hour to the next. Believing that you can do something to make things better, you do something, rather than nothing... You do whatever you can. You reach beyond yourself in your imagination, and in your wish for understanding.“

If we ever needed any more reminder about the barbarity of the law

The bill was devised by Itamar Ben Gvir, who wore noose-shaped lapel pins in the run-up to the vote. Ben Gvir was convicted in 2007 of racist incitement against Arabs and support for the Kach group, a designated a terrorist organization by both Israel and the United States. He wrote the law.

More than 100 Palestinian detainees have already died in Israeli custody since October 2023. Dozens are still disappeared. Over 9,300 Palestinians sit in Israeli detention right now, including 350 children. Hundreds could face execution under this law.

Israel abolished the death penalty for ordinary crimes in 1954. Today they voted to bring it back — exclusively for Palestinians.

An honor & pleasure to collaborate w @naomiaklein.bsky.social on our forthcoming book END TIMES FASCISM. My reward for wrapping up the draft is clearing my desk of all the apocalyptic readings on messianic religion, AGI fantasies, and anti-immigrant conspiracies. Excited to share the book this Sept.

Now unlocked: Mariame Kaba @prisonculture.bsky.social & Andrea Ritchie @dreanyc123.bsky.social on how to understand the spectacular violence of Trump’s ICE surges as an extension of the violence of everyday policing, and why to abolish ICE we must abolish the police soundcloud.com/deathpanel/a...

How to Keep ICE Out of Your Devices at Airports If you’re traveling, follow these digital security practices to keep feds from getting into your phone. And remember: even if you think you have nothing to hide, take these steps so you don't endanger others. theintercept.com/2026/03/25/i...

Emphasis on the last point. I have spoken to numerous comrades crossing the border who hadn't scrubbed their devices or used a burner, and border authorities ended up accessing lots of information about others and mapping organizing networks off their phones. Don't do this to your comrades pls!

Britain’s version of ICE… is even called the same thing

Your weekly reminder that this comes from a speech against Am*zon & other profiteers, and which ends: "We who live by writing and publishing want and should demand our fair share of the proceeds; but the name of our beautiful reward isn’t profit. Its name is freedom."

"Hang on a second, I thought IP was a system designed to protect artists and their creations!" None of us are immune to propaganda. But if we want to understand media power we have to understand IP properly, not the fantasy version. Read The Extended Universe, out next month!

Within just 48 hours of the Tories refusing to sack Nick Timothy for his Islamophobic comments, the far-right is circulating a list of MPs “of foreign descent” trying to “silence” him. [1/2]

they should have cancelled the oscars when they realised that it would've reopened OBAA discourse

“Fascism thrives when we are isolated from each other, and a concept of self-care dominated by consumerism pushes us towards individualism and self-optimisation.” I wrote about about self-care and community care for @theskinnymag.bsky.social! www.theskinny.co.uk/intersection...

These airlines are deporting people who came to the UK seeking safety, fleeing war, persecution and climate breakdown. We call on these airlines to end their complicity in this violent scheme now.

We have written to the four airlines carrying out deportations under the cruel and inhumane UK-France agreement, along with many other British and French groups - calling on these airlines to cease their complicity. They are: Air France, Titan Airways, Albastar Airlines& Corendon Airlines

Coming soon! The 404 Ink Bursary for small presses and accompanying crowdfunder will launch in mid-March. This will give away at least £3,000 to small presses - we hope to raise more to pay it forward to even more people.

"I more than once mentally thanked Lisowski in Uncanny Valley Girls for the respect she affords films like Antichrist & The Ring merely by refraining from jamming the square peg of horror into liberal feminism’s round hole."

International law=Rules Made by White People for Brown and Black People. Hope that clarifies.

no war no borders no cops no prisons no to all of this shit

“Fascism, it’s always about using nationalism, and the nation, as a bludgeon to generate support for death policies, on behalf of death governments. For violence and repression and exploitation, internationalism is the antidote, always.” —Robin D. G. Kelley

This was such a special interview to conduct: the first in two episodes with historian Peter Linebaugh on the long histories of commons and commoning, connections between enclosures in Europe and imperial conquest abroad, and writing history from below. www.thedigradio.com/podcast/the-...

after a slew of british commentariat pieces talking about starmer as a "good man" who's just had a rough day or two, grateful as always for the honesty and incisiveness of @nesrinemalik.bsky.social - "What's not to hate?" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Yvette Cooper and Starmer need to go over this.

starmer, mahmood, cooper etc. are proto-fascists who think that being the 'adults in the room' means inflicting greater and greater suffering - especially on the Global Majority and the left - and being smug about it. beautiful to see every instance where they are made to eat shit

AMAZING NEWS:

Huda Ammori: "This is a.. victory both for our fundamental freedoms here in Britain & in the struggle for freedom for the Palestinian people, striking down a decision that will forever be remembered as one of the most extreme attacks on free speech in recent British history"

such democracy! so liberal!

'I also think that at a fundamental level, transforming ourselves and fighting against fascism is understanding that we don’t need to be afraid of each other. That’s fundamentally what fascism is trying to embed in all of us – fear of others.' @harshawalia.bsky.social www.tni.org/en/article/l...

Pleased to see the jury make this decision. We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries. People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
