@GenXGMO @JesseForIndy I mean, he probably felt disrespected. Especially w how badly the US military treats its veterans. And those feelings are valid. But feelings are different than historical facts.

[Interchange @interchange981]

@JesseForIndy @GenXGMO And those stories just aren’t true. The left’s strategy was to welcome and recruit soldiers/veterans into the anti-war movement. There were hundreds of bustling GI Cafes set up for that purpose next to bases. And one discredited story of a protest at a return flight from Nam

@Econ_Marshall @BigMeanInternet It’s the latest surge, following Iran and Minneapolis, etc. Without successfully or stably mobilizing a mass base, the Trump govt has to artificially maintain momentum through this surge strategy, but it’s not actually bound to ICE/immigration as a privileged field.

This text is a transcript of a talk I recently gave in Tokyo and Barcelona. It explores how making sense of the world might become part of how we break with the world, asking 50 questions as a means of rehearsing a way of thinking.

feds are conducting a broad assault on all radical social movements. this will continue until we defeat the carceral state. in the meantime, we must defend each other, doctrinal differences notwithstanding, since the precedents set against one of us enable attacks on the rest.

[Ill Will @illwilleditions]

Why are you running syndicated fluff from Texas? Recipe for failure - rediscover any muscle at all for local investigations.

[The Herald-Times @theheraldtimes]

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott shared the news in an X post on July 8. What we know about the First Puppy of Texas' death. https://t.co/rS584cxbWV

[Malcolm Harris @BigMeanInternet]

Even "abolish the police" was a policy domestication of what people were yelling on the streets. It suggested a level of civilian control that does not exist, exacerbated by switch to "defund."

.@endnotesjournal/@roblucas on infrastructures, artefact politics, & “communist” technologies:

“[T]he dominant patterns of the relations of production leave determinate imprints in the physical & technical world, which themselves in turn reinforce certain social patterns of”

[Communist Front Of The Dispossessed @LouisABlanqui]

🧵 Things some people have thought for a long time:

In a time and place where and when capital is investing more in markets than in production, and where functional unemployment hovers above 20% for decades, people will struggle where they are: in the streets.

[IU on Strike @IUonStrike]

If we want affordable housing, we’ll need to fight for it.

[Communist Front Of The Dispossessed @LouisABlanqui]

The current heckling of mutual aid is just segments of an electoral organization realizing they can’t grow by recruiting people who already vote and hoping they can discourage people from spending their energy on the streets and support their conservative and morbid project.

[Naveed @nmansoori_]

Whether the Democratic Party can be reformed is haunted by a prior question: is the party form available as a medium of revolutionary struggle in the postindustrial core? Here, Clover & Benanav argue that the material conditions for that form don’t exist.

We’re profoundly saddened to learn of the passing of our friend and comrade Anubi D’Avossa Lussurgiu. A lifelong revolutionary whose humble brilliance, generosity, and commitment impressed and inspired us. He will be deeply missed.

[julian francis park @jfpark3]

For Field Notes @TheBrooklynRail, I wrote a history of the anti-deportation movement that, for now, culminated in defeating the White House's "surge" deportation operations in the Twin Cities earlier this year. This defeat halted the domestic momentum of the Trump administration.

[Communization @Communization_]

As many people are receiving their reprint copies of Endnotes, and the milieu faces a resurgence in online discussions, many are wondering what exactly communization is.

This thread breaks it down for you!

𝗪𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗙𝗲𝘄 from @endnotesjournal Volume 5.

“This is a text about the we. Who do we think we are? How do we understand what we are doing? Naturally, we do not mean only the “we” that produces this journal but a wider we whose boundary remains unspecified.”

[Interchange @interchange981]

Useful & contemporary analysis. Fascinating to contrast with the cybernetic/dystopian vision of networked islands of exclusionary prosperity in @illwilleditions’ First Revolutionary Measures from 2014.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: Peter Thiel is funding a plan to build privatized city-states everywhere from Gaza and Venezuela to small towns in California.

The goal is to replace governments with for-profit companies.

We investigated how Thiel's scheme is already reshaping democracy across the world.
