This was such a special interview to conduct: the first in two episodes with historian Peter Linebaugh on the long histories of commons and commoning, connections between enclosures in Europe and imperial conquest abroad, and writing history from below. www.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...
"Why Palestine is at its core a struggle against fossil capitalism—and why the battle for survival waged by Palestinians today, in Gaza and beyond, is inseparable from the fight for the future of the planet."

Happy to have some moral clarity at the head of my union these days.
Join AAUP. Your dues pay for these legal victories we keep wrapping up and these trainings that have taught a thousand new organizers how to do the work.
Yeah, I don’t think the same politicians who gave a standing ovation to Netanyahu during a live-streamed genocide are going to help you with your fascism problem.
Israeli occupation authorities have started demolishing UNRWA’s main headquarters in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of occupied Jerusalem.
"...with [oil] prices so low, [oil companies] would be unlikely to write any cheques. His only option would be to nationalise them for the sake of national security, like he did with Intel. Trump might end up having a lot more in common with Nicholas Maduro than anyone thought"
The Left must proclaim as its highest calling the universal freedom from others’ extractive powers. Property rights must be our the main plank, along with the defence of freedom from concentrated (corporate or state) power and intolerance. unherd.com/2026/01/how-...
Trump går til krig mot Venezuela.
Må bare få sende en stor gratulasjon til Nobelkommiteen, og til Stoltenberg/Ap som la ned etikkrådet i oljefondet.
Vi burde jo bare gjort som vi gjorde når Russland invaderte Ukraina.
Trump is bombing Venezuela. Good old war abroad to distract from the shitshow at home.
I hope that Nobel Peace committee is ashamed to look in the mirror this morning
Stop calling it war. These are terrorist attacks being committed by the US government. Every foreign nation should be lining up sanctions.
The US is bombing Venezuela, with airstrikes hitting Caracas and multiple locations across the country. Helicopters are visible in some footage. I have friends living there.
Additional footage showing the US bombing of Caracas, Venezuela.
As the US extends its naked imperial violence to Venezuela, what is under threat is ‘a strategy of socialist construction’ that is of historical importance

The Empire strikes back, not just to grab oil and other riches but, fundamentally, to hide its own weakness at home – and to prepare the ground for subjugating its own people, in Chicago, Portland, NYC etc. Meanwhile, a vassal Europe watches in silence... www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...
The abduction of a head of state and the unprovoked attack on Venezuela are extremely dangerous. This is the most naked form of imperialism, which - if unopposed and unresisted - puts every country and government at the mercy of the US, and any other powerful country that tries to copy it.

USA bør nå behandles som Russland etter Ukraina-angrepet. Alle veit at det ikke kommer til å skje, men hadde vært fint med en litt mer konsekvent diskurs her inne og i media.
Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty
This is, essentially, forcing academics to be victims of theft.

During the night, Israeli occupation forces assaulted a Palestinian resident in occupied Jerusalem.
During the night, Israeli occupation forces detonated explosive-laden robots between residential homes east of the Al-Tuffah neighborhood in eastern Gaza City.
NRK har den prinsipielle holdningen at de hverken er for eller mot folkemord.
"Others will take time in catching up to that." whew
The necessity to suspend disbelief has reached a high point this past year.
