Very interesting review that explores Muskism as a "global class project"

Today I reviewed @quinnslobodian.com and @bentarnoff.com's excellent *Muskism*, in which I argue that situating Elon Musk within the dynamics of class struggle transforms our approach to the international capitalist crisis and the imperial strategies to contain it cosmonautmag.com/2026/05/capi...

it’s like if netanyahu refused to free a palestinian prisoner and so you announced you’d be taking this to ben-gvir

I like to remind my students that Jackie Robinson RE-broke the color barrier because >50 yrs previously there were Black players in the Majors, but the teams actively chose to segregate. Segregation & acts of racism are affirmative choices made by & for the benefit of White people & institutions.

Something I wrote about my brother Camran Henry Fivek (1988–2026) medium.com/p/camran-hen...

People seem to ignore that the student encampments were a culmination of decades worth of on campus pro-pal organizing. Leadership and organizations that have, in many cases, been hollowed out.

We gotta bring back Catholic art that shows bishops on their way to Hell.

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”

It's been a little more than one year since Trump and Elon cut USAID funding and more than 500k children have likely died due to malnutrition and disease

A 13-year-old girl tried to take her life by cutting her wrists with a plastic knife from the cafeteria after guards took away drawing materials, and was put into isolation without seeing a doctor. The teen was deported to Colombia after nearly two months in confinement

New from @crittheoryworkgrp.bsky.social, J.E. Morain and I discuss play, games, and the like via Homo Ludens by Johan Huizinga. The work is one of the more important historical touch-points in game studies, and we tried to take his work to task by thinking games as ideology! Plz have a listen

This is fascinating particularly given that Leo himself solicited meeting (as opposed to past situations of whistleblowers begging for one): open.substack.com/pub/garethgo...

The latest in my series on the Itinerarium, in which I discuss the problems raised by the work’s structure—clear as it might seem at first. “The work seems to be zeroing in on an Incarnational center, finding in the hypostatic union the most wondrous site of sustained contradiction."

In his last political act, Habermas tied the survival of the public sphere & the democratic ethos of the Federal Republic of Germany to genocide denial & the state repression of its critics. He died in principled solidarity with the barbarism of 21st century liberalism

BREAKING: Exactly one year since she was detained, an immigration judge has just ordered the release of Leqaa Kordia — the last Columbia protestor still in ICE detention. DHS has kept her, despite a magistrate judge recommending her release and an immigration judge already *twice* ordering so.

NYC-NPM BIBLE STUDY UPDATE: Because of people traveling up to Boston for their inaugural NPM meeting we will be cancelling Friday and moving around the readings to make sure we still get through all of Luke. We hope to see everyone on March 20th! Attached is an updated schedule of readings:

Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”

Most people rejected his message. They hated Freud because he told them the truth.

It's crazy how good the new Gorillaz album is. I'd go so far as to say it reaches the heights of Plastic Beach...

turns out that ICE has been hunting a congregation that is majority deaf/mute refugees with a large child population

finally finished the complete rework of translations for 2 short essays Horkheimer wrote (w/ Adorno) printed alongside the 1st version of Dialectic of Enlightenment in 1944: “Struggle & Non-Violence”; “Poetry & Morals.” On militants & martyrs, & the crisis of modern art! 🔗 ⬇️

This is such a bad misunderstanding of the fault lines here. Talarico’s religiosity is not the chud religion thing. He’s a liberal Protestant seminarian. You don’t have to like it to see what the difference is.

“They’re basically torturing people into signing off on their own deportation,” said one attorney. Superb, deeply reported story, via @charpentier.bsky.social
