We have a big, urgent opportunity to primary establishment Dems who make Trumpism possible through fealty to corporate power and enthusiasm for arming Israeli war machine. My interview with Geoff Simpson on @justicedemocrats.com's 2026 insurgent primary campaigns. thedigradio.com/podcast/prim...

extraordinary episode of the always great DIG podcast, on the history of the commons

If you’d like to understand history of the country that US and Israeli imperialists are waging an illegal and unjust war against check out @thedigradio.bsky.social five part series with Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi and Golnar Nikpour on the history of modern Iran www.thedigradio.com/History%20of...
This @thedigradio.bsky.social episode with Minnesota organizers is excellent, especially how they talk about multi-racial, multi-issue organizing for the long-term.
What a powerful closing to this amazing episode, with Peter Linebaugh reciting The Goose and the Common!
"The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from off the goose"
For the first time since @projectsaltbox.bsky.social launched their DHS warehouse acquisition tracker, the number of canceled sales is higher than any of the other warehouse-related figures. We've reached a tipping point, folks.

Thrilled that EXTRACTION was reviewed with such care and detail in @thenation.com magazine www.thenation.com/article/cult...
Maybe the number one dig fan account on this website.
@thedigradio.bsky.social is my main thing to follow people on this site. have many thoughts on why but thats logic if u repost dig i follow back
two big episodes of revolting against enclosure has me hyped to defeat capitalism.
There’s a long, proud tradition of struggle against the bastards and their machines.
He conversado con Daniel Denvir, periodista y creador del podcast The Dig, sobre el avance del trumpismo y la extrema derecha en ambos lados del Atlántico.
Es necesario que sigamos tejiendo un internacionalismo democrático que haga frente al miedo, el racismo y el autoritarismo.
truly superb
"The purpose of the state is to ensure the equality of the commons." Amen.

still thinking about these conversations, what a gem of a human cutting right to the heart of all of this wrong life while inviting us in. and with what Dan names as the double freedoms of capitalism: the freedom to work and the freedom to die

"The machines were coming in for the purpose of diminishing their income. They were coming in for that purpose. They were not coming in for the purpose of enhancing life or reducing the hours of toil or improving the products of the human hand. In fact the human hand is on its way out"
Honestly can't wait to listen to both these eps
Phenomenal and crystal clear historical analysis, and it makes an excellent companion piece with @bcmerchant.bsky.social’s boom Blood in the Machine
so damn good!
This two parter is excellent; one of the best historical arguments about the construction of crime policy I’ve heard in a long long time
This is so good
As we hit the part of Mardi Gras where we descend into deep Chad discourse, I would like to recommend this Dig episode about the nature and history of the commons thedigradio.com/podcast/the-...
The second, final installment of my interview w/ historian Peter Linebaugh on @thedigradio.bsky.social: Luddites' machine-breaking revolt, the centrality of capital punishment in consolidation of capitalist state, remaking struggle against enclosure for 21st century. thedigradio.com/podcast/brea...
i'm the biggest Dig fan there is and i gotta say this one really warmed my heart, just a real pleasure to listen to smart people who really care
Looking forward to listening to this. I read Linebaugh’s Stop, Thief! The Commons, Enclosures, and Resistance a couple years ago and it really had an impact.
I want to say this is a must listen for history buffs, but seriously: elites have been trying to confine humanity by limiting what we even imagine to be possible. Learn what an estover is! Why do you think Apple's autocorrect won't even allow me to type the word?
🚨 Chicago friends!
I’ll be doing an event on EXTRACTION hosted by @haymarketbooks.org and in conversation with @gabrielwinant.bsky.social this Monday! Come by if you can 😊
I've been looking for a non annoying leftist podcast and I think my search has ended. I learned so much from this interview!
