Fire in the Belly: Mike Davis (1946-2022) β€œIf there was ever a time for fire in the belly and a radical politics of hope, it is now.” So declared Mike Davis (1946-2022), in the 2016 preface to City of Quartz. β€œIn cities like Los Angeles”, he ...

Mike Davis was born 80 years ago today.

"Davis’s drive was always towards action, struggle, and solidarity – in brief, the politics of continual and transformative resistance, of β€œradical hope.” He lit the torch; it’s time for us, now, to carry it on."

If I had a nickel for every time California hosted a generationally talented Marxist intellectual named Davis, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s pretty dope it happened twice.

International Women's Day is a day of protest and collective action.

'Woman's Day' was first recognized in the US in 1910 following the 13 week long strike of 20,000 female garment workers.

Four years later on this day in Russia, bread riots led by women fed directly into the 1917 revolution.
