If this ceasefire proceeds according to the 20-pt Trump/Netanyahu plan, it will be a new British Mandate - with war criminal Tony Blair at the helm - with intl actors, esp Israel, controlling everything that happens in Gaza. This is not a peace deal. It is subjugation coerced through genocide.

It is not a coincidence that TPUSA's first aggressive targeting campaign after Kirk's assassination is a professor at Rutgers, home of the strongest and most creative labor union in higher ed. This should be understood as a coordinated effort with the administration's "compact" with universities.

Because certainly there's no reason why this history might be terrifyingly relevant right now, here's a link to preorder @stschrader1.bsky.social's "Blue Power" on how police in the US organized to exempt themselves from democratic oversight and control: redemmas.org/titles/48838...

So-called #genAI means the abolition of the future through the proliferation of endless streams of stochastically rendered generic pasts. Having turned large parts of the cultural archive into training data, it now traps us in a foreverized pastness, a 24/7 nostalgia for a past that never existed

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

I was lucky enough to sit down with Ardi Imseis and discuss the law, politics and history of the recent Western recognitions of the State of Palestine for Called to the Bar: soundcloud.com/calledtotheb...

Look the polling is clear, if the Democratic Party wants to win in 2028, its platform MUST include:

- a lake of stew
- of whiskey, too
- you can paddle all around ‘em in a big canoe

- jails made of tin
- you can walk right out again as soon as you are in

- hanging the jerk who invented work

No better illustration of how much of our opposition party thinks social media posting is a substitute for the responsible exercise of legislative power. @schatz.bsky.social is one of the most irritating offenders here, often posting like he’s Mort Sahl instead of a U.S. Senator

Can’t wait til my daughter turns three and I can finally show her TENET

In a rural corner of Louisiana, Meta is building one of the world's largest data centers, a $10 billion behemoth as big as 70 football fields that will consume more power in a day than the entire city of New Orleans at the peak of summer.

Ppl on this silly website will talk all day about our terrible "information ecosystem" and then assume a person quoting a (1-minute-long!) video is doing it accurately without watching the video. Smdh the brainrot is *everywhere*

In the clip he doesn't say the words the poster is quoting! (The mayor of NY does not have the power to get the US to join the ICC let alone to carry out the ICC's arrest warrants, which Mamdani knows; he literally says in the clip "I will follow the laws.")

Delete this nonsense!!

% of US men under 30 who say legal sports betting is a *bad thing* for society

22% in 2022
47% in 2025

No other demographic group has seen a bigger increase.

I wrote for the @bostonreview.bsky.social about the extraordinary Andrée Blouin, along with Lumumba, Cesaire, Fanon, and the anticolonial revolution that could have been.

I don't really follow baseball at this point in my life, but Red Sox–Yankees in October will draw me in no matter how old I am.

Garrett Crochet? Nick Sogard? Barely heard of 'em before tonight but I will ABSOLUTELY take a bullet for either one

AAUP v. Rubio is out, and look at how it starts. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We can dunk on Silver. But the folks wildly hyping Adams in 2021-22 included Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden. The desire for a prominent BLACK politician who was pro-police and hostile to the BLM movement was broadly shared within elite Dem circles. They ignored obvious signs he was corrupt and inept.

(1) Real divide here between politics as broad and uneven struggle (Coates) and politics as narrowly electoral (Klein).

(2) Klein talks *a lot* - make of that what you will. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

A useful introduction to NSPM-7, focused on the threats to non-profits. But it's worth noting that the threat extends beyond them to many other organizations, and to citizens acting together or individually, in ways of which the Trump administration disapproves.

Przeworski says it cleanly, clearly, and convincingly.

What then must we do?

“You come at the [would-be] king, you best not miss.”

I’m sure this has absolutely nothing to do with the @sbworkersunited.org union threatening to strike after years of labor violations and union busting. It’s surely coincidence that one of the stores closing is the *flagship* Roastery in Seattle where the picketing has been located.
