"It’s that feeling of resignation and the blocked paths to a better life, at the heart of Boggs’s poems and my dad’s whole worldview, that above all else, as socialists, we have to overcome." Read Connor Cameron’s introduction to Eddy Johnson’s American Dream. longhaulmag.com/eddy-johnson...

Got on the other side of the mic and talked anti-war movement, past and present, with Dan and Salar.

Our editorial in this issue dives into the history of the El Gran Paro Estadounidense of 2006, the Day Without an Immigrant strikes. As calls for a general strike grow louder, and as the deportation regime escalates, what does this history teach us about what we might do today?

finished the last episode of the powerful "fragile juggernaut" limited series on the history of the CIO and how we can make use of that history. i commend it you. hope to see more programming like this from @haymarketbooks.org!

Just listened to the last ep of Fragile Juggernaut about the CIO, what an amazing series, congrats to @haymarketbooks.org and the folks who worked on this, I'll miss it! spotify.link/7IYXjCGLxXb

Tonight in New York City

Worker reflections on BU ResLife's 2024 double strike, targeting strategic moments of the calendar through mass participation, cross-neighborhood stewards, and coworker conversations as BUGWU's strike raged on campus. Originally from @long-haul-mag.bsky.social working-mass.com/2025/10/02/o...

From our third issue: a remarkable document that issues a serious challenge to the emerging orthodoxies of October, which now tend to "dissolve the revolutionary creativity of these workers into a broader story of European social democracy" longhaulmag.com/when-scythe-...

"My experience and perspective coming into all this is you never look to the top for solutions. You gotta look at least three layers down to find somebody that’s doing something real."

In this interview with Joe and Carlos, we encounter a model for how small groups of workplace organizers can proactively respond to the militant self-activity of their coworkers, and how this can contribute to wider democratic transformations of union culture. longhaulmag.com/classified-s...

We finally got a @long-haul-mag.bsky.social account up! Give it a follow :)

This iconic issue from Viewpoint Magazine is 10 years old this year ! Still so much to learn & appreciate in these many articles: viewpointmag.com/2015/11/02/i... (Would love to have some kind of collective reading/reflection event or discussion on publishing/political lineages if there's interest!)

Everyone should subscribe to Long Haul. Beautifully made magazine of worker writing. Feels like the spiritual successor to Viewpoint longhaulmag.com

👀📖 — a new issue of ⁦‪Long Haul magazine — #1u

Love this supremely insightful account of a dramatic, remarkable leap taken by the labor movement last year. What made a large and disruptive strike for Palestine possible? longhaulmag.com/uc-strike-fo...

I've completed my four-part @thedigradio.bsky.social series w Aziz Rana reexamining the entirety of US history through the politics of Americanism and constitutional fetish. This ep traces great unraveling of American empire from 1970s to our present MAGA 2.0 moment. thedigradio.com/podcast/rogu...

I think we put together a pretty cool second issue. Check it out: longhaulmag.com

Last year workers launched a strike against Amazon. 5 of them discuss how work is organized and their union is being built – talking lean production & boss-police collusion, race & informal workgroups on the job, how they've overcome division & what action can teach longhaulmag.com/advanced-det...

Really great reflections from Eddie Campbell on decades of shopfloor antiwar organizing within arms manufacturing plants in the UK, from the First Gulf War to recent Palestine solidarity organizing. longhaulmag.com/setting-an-a...

"If there’s going to be a political line to march from inside the workplace to the wider world without, it will develop out of these informal relationships and collective actions on the shop floor, not from allegiance to one or another leader." longhaulmag.com/spectacle-an...

As someone who generally hates podcasts, @haymarketbooks.org’s FRAGILE JUGGERNAUT is an extremely good (and timely) deep dive into the early development of American labor through the history of the CIO. www.haymarketbooks.org/blogs/505-in...

My buddy Patrick King on what anti-imperialism looked like in the immigrant neighborhoods and workplaces of post-68 France. Building on the basics of collective action, and working across ethnic and social differences, they helped build a new internationalism. longhaulmag.com/underneath-t...

You're gonna love this one

I don't know how the folks @thedigradio.bsky.social manage to continually outdo themselves. This first episode of a two-parter on Stuart Hall is among the finest artifacts of theory-focused political education I've ever enountered. Just superb. thedigradio.com/podcast/stua...

Great essay from @amnaakbar.bsky.social insisting on the urgency of figuring out of what it will take for mass mobilizations & organizations of USians around the slower deaths from climate crisis, unaffordable health care & other capitalist horrors. Highly recommended::

Our inaugural issue of Long-Haul magazine appears online today, featuring a trouble-maker inside an arms factory, a Chicago warehouse worker on Trump & the Teamsters, and an account of back to back strikes at Boston University. I think you guys will be into it! longhaulmag.com

I wrote a lecture on Stuart Hall's Marxism, paired with clips from the inimitable Michael Denning and Dan's genius for production

for marx & hall nerds, an excellent discussion of hall’s marxism that includes recordings of hall’s extrapolations, denvir & denning's interpretations, & nuances hall's methodology, stakes, & what he meant by 'complex unity structured in dominance'

On this Xmas, finally listening to Fragile Juggernaut podcast (on 1934 episode RN). Loving it, debating aspects, which makes it so worthwhile. It’s not the end of a conversation but reopening many old and new ones. Congrats to its contributors and Haymarket. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

This week’s @thedigradio.bsky.social is a little different than usual: a long audio essay ft. Michael Denning interview clips + voice acting. Fun putting this together with our associate producer Jackson Roach. Go deep on Stuart Hall’s Marxism here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

A huge thanks to Dig senior advisor Ben Mabie for taking the lead on authoring our script and to Adam Elliott-Cooper for voicing Stuart Hall. Next week: my interview with Denning on Policing the Crisis.

Happy new years from Point Reyes

This was our heist movie episode

The sit down strikes are where structural analysis meets the heist movie, and where the global organization of production meets highly contingent efforts to root out spies. Its drama includes both the architectonics of capital and street battles barely won against advancing cops.

88 years ago today, the Flint sit down strikes began. Earlier this year, @gabrielwinant.bsky.social, @alexnpress.bsky.social and I discussed the drama of this remarkable action: charting its power and tracing the effect it had on workers around the world podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Great vibe on the Amazon picket line in Queens today

The members of @nytguildtech.bsky.social did something so generous last week that @pghguild.com strikers are still trying to comprehend it. @nyguild.bsky.social @newsguild.org

Our Fragile Juggernaut episode on labor in World War II is here, with the legendary @nelsonlichtenstein.bsky.social. What happens when you get full employment, price controls, mass migration to cities, and the integration of labor into the total war mobilization? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

just monumental news: union majority at the most important chokepoint over amazon's fast shipping out west. courageous marches on the boss against extreme heat and wildfire smoke helped amazon workers learn their power, and bring more into the fight.

The latest episode of @haymarketbooks.org's Fragile Juggernaut #podcast looks at America’s West Coast, jurisdictional disputes with the AFL and the complications of an influx of wartime defense spending at podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... #1u #UnionSky #LaborRadioPod #LaborHistory

Shout out to the team behind the Fragile Juggernaut series on the rise of the CIO. One of the most enjoyable and energizing podcasts since @mikeduncan.bsky.social and Revolutions. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h....

The core insight here: the contradictions of MAGA formula 2 are a feature and also a bug. Any project with hegemonic aspirations must piece together fragmentary and discordant social interests and projects into temporary unity because those fragments are a structural features of the social formation

Eternally funny how so many of the most avowedly economistic Marxists are like “it’s simple, forget all the woke bullshit, just do class. Anyway, here’s my latest piece on [film/standup comedy/psychoanalysis]”

Getting mixed reviews for my work this year

My 2.5 hrs w @quinnslobodian.com and Wendy Brown discussing Trump’s triumphant return and the freakish, obscene, billionaire-dominated, capitalist reactionary, Christian nationalist, contradiction-ridden MAGA movement that surrounds him on @thedigradio.bsky.social www.thedigradio.com/podcast/maga...

me and some friends are going long on the CIO. the podcast's called Fragile Juggernaut and you can listen anywhere you get your podcasts. we'll have what I suspect will be a substantial newsletter with it so if you want that, or just want to support us, subscribe: www.patreon.com/FragileJugge...
