In our latest, we speak with Alberto Toscano @alfatau.bsky.social about fascism as an antagonistic politics of social reproduction, some of the particular features of the crackdowns on care in Trump’s second term, and Alberto’s book Late Fascism www.patreon.com/posts/150947...

"Sharp, panoramic, and fiercely principled" — Alyssa Battistoni. Against the Crisis: Economy and Ecology in a Burning World -- out now from @versobooks.bsky.social

New piece for @phenomenalworld.bsky.social, written with @jacktaggart.bsky.social and @tomchodor.bsky.social! It's an attempt at grasping the dismantling of multilateral global governance, in light of intensifying geopolitical rivalries, resurgent state capitalism, and hegemonic crisis. Link below:

The Ideas Letter has hosted a debate on @evgenymorozov.bsky.social thought-provoking article on the need for an AI-inflected socialism that consists of critiques by @abenanav.bsky.social and Leif Weatherby as well as Morozov's response to Benanav's critique. www.indep.network/debate-in-th...

How and why police actually support the federal invasions—I have been working on this article for ~6 months, trying to make sense of Trump’s nationwide surge of DHS officers, how it has evolved, what brought us here, and what will remain after it ends.

This Boston Review piece by @adambonica.bsky.social and @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social is obviously not going to be the last word in the "popularism" debate. But it's the last word for me, in the sense that anything I might want to say on it is said better here. www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

Last week I wrote that ICE (& immigration judges) are increasingly openly defying courts. lpeproject.org/blog/immigra... Now, a judge compiled 100 cases from ICE’s MN siege where ICE ignored court orders. Yet what are dems offering? Basically—laws that ask ICE to please follow the law.

📢💥NEW EPISODE📢💥 - Nikhil Pal Singh on Donald Trump's 'Homeland Empire'. Nikhil talks about how the Trump administration has collapsed the distinction between foreign and domestic policy, creating a single zone where violence and impunity reign:

New article by Phil A. Neel examining the post-2020 political order, arguing that liberal myths about law, elections, and restraint function as counterinsurgency in an era of open state violence. illwill.com/lies

The attempts to draw distinctions between local policing and ICE on the basis of training are also mystifying because what we know today as "militarized policing" is the result of police professionalization, training, and reform. Any good history of SWAT makes this abundantly clear

I have a different question: what can we learn from the fact that the power resources that have proven most impactful in this moment can be found in mass movements rather than the formal legal structures that folk theory sees as safeguards against tyranny?

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.

The US arrests children a lot.

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

Today, @jocelynsimonson.bsky.social and @ksabeelrahman.bsky.social challenge the idea that law review articles should conclude with a set of actionable prescriptions. This convention, they argue, constrains ambition, sidelines critique, and conflates near-term feasibility with rigor.

Never ceases to amaze and inspire me that @scottwstern.bsky.social writes like he does on top of working full-time as an environmental lawyer

The future is (still) the termination shock

since Tooze is once again the topic du jour, some light reading on why he’s so frustrated in that interview brooklynrail.org/2025/09/fiel...

this part of Adam's lecture got me thinking how this article initially started with something along these lines: bsky.app/profile/quin...

It's probably not about minerals. Wrote about Greenland, shipping lanes and the political work that all this arctic speculation is doing over at @the-breakdown.bsky.social www.break-down.org/after-the-th...

americans, please: do not take the bait by resisting ICE yourselves. just give the democrats $20. they will give it to ICE so they can train more guys

Rapid response networks have evolved swiftly over the past few months. Besieged by 3000 federal mercenaries, volunteers in the Twin Cities have updated their rapid response model, developing a dynamic and resilient system. This report explores how you can learn from their model to build your own.

"Strangest of all is the liberal pipe dream that local police will stand up against ICE and CBP, when police have collaborated with ICE and been deployed to protect agents from protesters, even in so-called sanctuary cities." An interview with Robin D.G. Kelley www.bostonreview.net/articles/ren...

Trump is clearly not the isolationist many believed he was. From the wreckage of bipartisan imperialist consensus, Trump's creating a new MAGA model empire. New Dig episode analyzing MAGA Empire and the history that made it with Aslı Bâli and Greg Grandin www.thedigradio.com/podcast/maga...

Adam Hanieh with a more sophisticated take on the question of oil and Venezuela than many others that have been circulating thus far. www.versobooks.com/en-ca/blogs/...

A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country

ICE AGENT: “I love my job. I can’t believe they pay me to do this. I’d do it for free. I only went to high school and I make $200,000.”

"I’ve argued this is central aspect of Trump’s climate politics: not merely trying to slow transition, but using its power to coerce rest of world into believing it will never happen, because America won’t let it"[email protected] Fits Venezuela to a T www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/the...

Sorry to keep everyone waiting. Here it is. @thepolycrisis.bsky.social take on venezuela. Ofc it’s about oil. No, not like that @katemac.bsky.social buttondown.com/polycrisisdi...

This is magic thinking. This law does basically nothing to rein in local cops.
