We're building a multi-racial multi-gender multi-generational movement to change the world; the billionaires, the bosses and their allies thought they knocked us out, but really they proved us right. And we're just getting started.

Haddad deu entrevista pro Denvir no The Dig

I’m enormously proud of what the socialist left in the United States has accomplished over the past decade. We’ve gone from nowhere to everywhere, working to build a majority coalition that can defeat fascist authoritarianism by transforming everyday people’s material conditions.

Reclaim RI co-chair @danieldenvir.bsky.social on @pvdcitycouncil.bsky.social Ward 2 primary: "Voters chose a progressive, independent, proven leader in @jilld.bsky.social over the false narratives and fear mongering of powerful real estate interests and their ally Mayor Smiley.”

New Dig ep w/ Brazilian Finance Minister Fernando Haddad on Brazilian political economy and where Brazil fits into world capitalist system structured by relationships of domination/unequal exchange. How the left must navigate contradictions of governance. www.thedigradio.com/podcast/braz...

Useful context to keep in mind for today's election in New York City. Update on previous post: the convo between @alexhan.bsky.social, @asha-rrs.bsky.social, Alderwoman Jeanette Taylor and @danieldenvir.bsky.social is great indeed.

Great talk on the Battle in Seattle, 25 years later! A bit of a buried history, given the 9/11 demobilization of it all. Worth your listen to learn how concerns about the WTO, sweatshops, and IMF structural adjustment helped shape and politicize many of the 40 and 50 something lefties in your life.

Well done to everyone listed. Canary Mission (disgusting Israeli-backed doxxing operation). If CM hates you, you’re doing something correct. Congrats @danieldenvir.bsky.social Meanwhile Tucker Carlson interviews Fuentes with peak antisemitism. The Right is bonded with antisemites. Don’t be fooled.

long-time fan. best serious left political education around

In so many ways, the vibrancy of our city can be judged by the health of our bodegas. That’s why I’m so proud to be in the Bronx this morning to accept the endorsement of the United Bodegas of America.

It is really hard to overstate how important @thedigradio.bsky.social has been for sharpening the Left's political analysis in recent years. Subscribe and listen if you don't already! www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

this is such a good podcast

I second this Mamdani team endorsement for @danieldenvir.bsky.social and The Dig podcast from The New Yorker. Excellent material

Our new issue drops soon! @leaypi.bsky.social leads a forum on the real crisis fueling the war on immigrants, w/ @pochoaespejo.bsky.social @danieldenvir.bsky.social @daralind.bsky.social Plus @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social on civility under fascism, @davidaustinwalsh.bsky.social on MAGA’s complaints +

New Dig ep w key Global South leaders from Philippines and Uganda, Walden Bello and Jane Nalunga. We trace neoliberalism’s defeat of Third Worldist project to Global South social movement/civil society networks that rose from ashes to take on neoliberal globalization. thedigradio.com/podcast/thir...

And if you are around Providence this Friday, come hear the wonderful @triofrancos.bsky.social talk her new book at Watson:

www.newyorker.com/magazine/202... Providence's @danieldenvir.bsky.social calls dealing with some of the stuff that comes with a win by @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social “the left growing up"

Combine this with what @melindacooper.bsky.social said recently in @thedigradio.bsky.social about a fiscal regime designed to suppress wage growth and inflate asset values through a combination of austerity measures and tax expenditures that operate as hidden public spending to benefit asset-owners.

One of the best pieces of evidence for the total evisceration of any halfway-competent Democratic foreign policy thinking is how quickly the Abraham Accords became a bipartisan consensus cornerstone

Two weeks ago Andrew Marantz accompanied me to the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social rally in Wash Heights. He wrote a piece about @thedigradio.bsky.social and about how I see this huge opening for the left, need for coalition w libs, and the urgency of getting serious about building/wielding power. Link👇

Be the dude barefoot in pajamas yelling at ICE you want to see in the world

Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.

As Toni Morrison said, "the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked. Part of my conversation on @ayman.msnbc.com earlier today.

Ever heard of the Battle in Seattle? Want to dive into the global trade justice movement's history? 🎙️ Listen to this great episode of The Dig, ft. Alexandra Wandel - first Friends of the Earth Europe trade coordinator - who was on the ground back in 1999 Another world was possible, and still is ✊

Looking forward to listening to this. The alter-globalisation movement was very formative for me too. Has anyone written anything comparing this movement of the 90s-00s to the current global Palestine movement?

Yep, it’s relentless. See this great interview that @danieldenvir.bsky.social did with Melinda Cooper on the revolt’s broader dynamics: www.thedigradio.com/podcast/coun...

I look forward to taking a trip down the memory lane and learning more about the global movement for trade justice. Listen to the episode and soon The Dig will be one of your favorite podcasts.

What was the 'Battle in Seattle'? Who won? How did it shape the movement for trade justice globally and in Europe? It was wonderful to have @danieldenvir.bsky.social join us recently to unpick these questions for the latest episode of @thedigradio.bsky.social podcast

This is shockingly repulsive even for Cuomo

So honored when @danieldenvir.bsky.social & the @eurtradejustice.bsky.social invited me to appear as a guest on a live episode of my fave politics/history podcast, @thedigradio.bsky.social. Check out a fascinating convo on the global justice movement's history: thedigradio.com/podcast/anot....

I was first radicalized by anti-corporate globalization movement that defined the US left in the late 90s, reaching its apotheosis w/ Battle in Seattle against WTO. A few weeks ago, I hosted a live Dig w/ @eurtradejustice.bsky.social in Brussels on the history of global trade justice movement 1/

After having listened to @danieldenvir.bsky.social double episode interview with Melinda Cooper (which I can't recommend highly enough), I was reminded to renew my annual contribution to @thedigradio.bsky.social thedigradio.com/podcast/coun... So grateful for this podcast.

There is a powerful leftward movement on the lib resistance grassroots and real coalition with the socialist left. The Providence No Kings rally coordinated w pro-Palestine groups to have a Palestinian speaker and I got an amazing response canvassing people on rent stabilization.

This is excellent. As someone interested in (late antique) taxation, I found the interview extremely illuminating.

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity. And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

At some point in Melinda Cooper's 5-hour @thedigradio.bsky.social marathon she explains Greenspanism as a macro-framework that is actively tolerant of asset bubbles, and when one pops the priority is to defend the monetary conditions for the next one to arise

New Episode! @triofrancos.bsky.social joins to discuss her new book EXTRACTION and the biggest questions facing the mining industry in the push for a green economy Listen here! iOS: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/2bY1...

Is Melinda Cooper my favourite social theorist producing work today? I think the answer is yes - and you should listen to this two-parter to find out why she should be yours, too.

This two-part series is excellent

Banger!

Again, got to be one of the best dig episodes I’ve ever listened to and the bar is *sky* high

few people provide as much clarity on the current moment as @melindacooper.bsky.social—to say that this (and part one) is essential listening would be an understatement

it's a great book. highly recommended. (though it's really depressing) www.versobooks.com/products/704...

Daniel Denvir's book on immigration explains that Ds have spent decades trying to get to the right of Rs on immigration, with the result that support for immigration has cratered and everyone thinks there's a crisis.

Has any american newspaper done an in-depth profile of DSA? @nathantankus.bsky.social @jwmason.bsky.social @danieldenvir.bsky.social FT- worlds best capitalist newspaper writes about a remarkable decade for the DSA and the long tradition of socialists running US cities www.ft.com/content/46f1...

Två år gammalt avsnitt av The Dig. Men var verkligen ögonöppnare för mig om Hamas historia och hur de realpolitiskt styrt Gaza. I övrigt har jag knappt under två års tid läst eller hört något som förklarat Hamas som politiskt fenomen. Inte bara polemiserat. thedigradio.com/podcast/hama...

A great listen on asset capitalism and its connections to neoliberalism and both MAGA elites and the MAGA base. Reminded me of @patrickwyman.bsky.social's analysis on the landed gentry that holds local power in much of America, with the sharp analytical/historical edge that the Dig usually brings.

This is one of the best episodes of The Dig I’ve ever heard

This is just crucial listening to make sense of the moment. In fact, its so good I tried to log into my old Patreon account to update my lapsed credit card and reset my The Dig subscription, failed, downloaded the app, reset the password and card no and updated all my old Patreon subscriptions...
