It was an honor to be interviewed in-depth by @lalehkhalili.bsky.social @proteanmag.com
A key theme: how to analyze “extractive frontiers” from a world-systemic perspective attentive to both the structures of colonialism and capitalism—and to socio-ecological struggle proteanmag.com/2025/12/22/e...

This administration lied about the people it sent to an overseas torture prison. It lies about the people it’s deporting. It lies every day to gain political advantage. Not a chance in hell they won’t lie about huge swaths of people they suspect might vote for the other party.

In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

Wow by this logic the US military lost about $1,000 Billion in “the last year alone”*
Except the military didn’t deliver any mail they just shipped trained human and robotic agents of lethality, and other weapons all over the planet
*what a propagandistic turn of phrase

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

I’m reading a book right now about the Spanish far right attacking the people of Spain in the 1930’s, mass murdering hundreds of thousands
Let’s just say it’s very instructive as to the conspiratorial, sadistic, strategic, maximalist mindset of the current admin activists in the US

A scramble to satisfy the White House and "feed the beast" spawned a new "propaganda" machine, current and former officials told us.

“In April, the state of Georgia enacted a law, colloquially referred to as the Riley Gaines Act, that bars trans athletes from competing in sports that differ from their biological sex.”
Over/under for what she got paid for this accomplishment - $125k?

Anti-trans demagogue and fifth place swimmer Riley Gaines earned $470,000+ last year from a conservative non-profit.
Notably, $420k was incentive-based.
A neat little window into the way the transphobic grift is being compensated.
I wonder what the per-post rate is?

Since this tweet Trump has announced he’s naming an entire new Navy fleet after himself as a distraction from the Epstein-Trump Files
The Epstein file is the only thing Trump has ever taken his name off of
🚨 "The Justice Department redacted the names and identifiers of victims. Fox News Digital has learned that the same redaction standards were applied to politically exposed individuals and government officials. "

The DOJ identified at least 10 co-conspirators who worked with Epstein and Maxwell. It’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in organized crime, yet NO ONE ELSE involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring has faced criminal charges. Why?

Yes and many, many police leaders and agencies have been greatly damaging ICE and Trump by speaking out in various ways - in high profile federal court rooms, in press releases, in city hall meetings
