I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
More than 34,000 Minnesotans signed up to be trained as ICED observers with various activist groups in recent weeks, many of them since Jan. 7, when a federal agent shot and killed Renée Good.
Thousands of new ICE watchers hit the streets after two killings
Minnesotans outraged by the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti have signed up in large numbers to monitor and protest ICE with other activists.

This is what democracy sounds like: three Minneapolis organizers chart the process that built an effective multiracial fight back against federal occupation. Moving beyond a brave and nimble minority to a "popular front" majority to beat back fascism and win democratic victories for all

One of the best things about this episode is the attention to fractions of capital which are—and have to be—in tension with each other. There is no capital “T” Tech as there is no capital “C” Capital... Mapping the fissures, finding present and coming contradictions is critical work.

An outstanding inquiry into the nature of Trump’s foreign policy—how it represents both an intensification of previous practices and a decisive break with them, how it arises from and compounds domestic inequalities, the prospects for a form of domination actively opposed to hegemony.

Review of a fascinating new book that demonstrates that we’ve never had an energy transition but rather just accumulation and agglomeration: more and more and more. What’s missing from this is an analysis of capitalism as a social relation and of its corollary the capitalist state.
I reviewed MORE AND MORE AND MORE which argues that there’s no historical precedent for an “energy transition”; instead, we see symbiotic linkages between wood, coal, oil, and now renewables. I’m convinced. But the book’s analysis of capitalism falls short @thebaffler.com Link ⬇️

This is good analysis, making sense out of chaos. Trumpism is both rupture from the neolib/neocon past, and continuation but without the pretenses. "America First" has always been internationalist.
