Capitalism isn’t a thing. It is a social relation. Today that means communal alienation: we’re alone together. Check out the new series Pod Kapital w/ Sina from the East Is a Podcast as we read Marx’s Capital. Subscribe!

Masked agents snatching people at work, church, their child’s daycare. A return of family separations. States are lining up to run their own detention centers.

Anti-immigrant animus is now being paired with unprecedented funding, manpower, and technology.

We report from inside the American gulag.

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

I grew up in Lozells, just a stone’s throw from Handsworth.

Robert Jenrick called it “as close as I’ve come to a slum” and complained he “didn’t see another white face.”

This is white-supremacist thinking dressed up as “legitimate concerns”.

I grew up in Lozells, just a stone’s throw from Handsworth — where much of my family still live and where I went for sixth form. It’s a proud, diverse, working-class community.

Robert Jenrick called it “as close as I’ve come to a slum” and complained he “didn’t see another white face.”

This is white-supremacist thinking dressed up as “legitimate concerns”.

The political and media establishment normalises this racism, but we won’t stay silent. We stand with all our communities and against the far-right.

Never forget that 3,000 people or so died on 9/11, and we went to war with someone (not the doers) for like 2 decades.

This is just the children? And it's 6× that amount.

FYI: Rev. Black (in the clip above) is one of several clergy who told me they've been shot with pepper balls by agents at that ICE facility, among other things.

Rev. Black now part of a lawsuit over it. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...
