It's hard to square "Marx was an accelerationist" with the attention paid to things like child labor and women's exploitation in Capital. I agree he saw the potential of harnessing productive forces but that's not the same thing. Relations of production matter too - and I'd argue they're paramount.
The current war on Iran is UNIQUELY unpopular by U.S. standards.
Man, I wish some lefty did a five-part podcast series on the modern history of Iran: thedigradio.com/History%20of...
For @truthout.org I wrote an analysis of the mass deportation boom during 2025. Amid all the spectacle, the passage of the funding bill in July was an ominous milestone in the history of U.S. immigration policy and the Trump administration's aspiring fascism.

If looking for an educational resource on immigration enforcement, I created this @haymarketbooks.org online lecture "Punishing Immigrants: U.S. Immigration Enforcement and the PIC."
It's designed for teaching and political ed. Breaks down terms, history, and data.

The RENTAL Act was bad and rotten from the start. It’s like sole source sports betting - we’ll continue to discover it’s even worse than we already thought.
Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.
anyway ludicrous to think the right question is “how did DHS lose its way??” and not “why did we build a domestic security super agency in the first place, and who has that power served”

My book, White Power: Policing American Slavery, is now available for preorder.
