Friend writes of towns in central NH breaking up homeless camps. Ripple effect of ‘24 SCOTUS Grant’s Pass decision allowing municipalities to outlaw camping even when there’s no shelter. Quietly, everywhere, people most didn’t know were there are being fined or jailed for being alive.

They published this the same day they published the news that Mamdani's office is releasing to the public thousands of documents showing Giuliani's office knew how toxic the air was around Ground Zero and lied about it, leading to more deaths than on 9/11.

I don’t remember whose insight this is, but it blew my mind when I first read that to understand American history you have to get that race law was designed to increase the number of enslavable people (one-drop rule) and decrease the number of claimants to indigenous land (blood quantum)

Jamelle Bouie writes: yeah this is a separate conversation but one of the things that hasn’t quite bubbled up from scholarship into mainstream thinking is that american slavery was a system centered principally on reproduction. forced birth for capital accumulation is what it was

*whispers in analysis of political economy and science and technology studies* Frankly, no. If your technology relies on massive capital consolidation to function at all, then the problem is the technology, not simply who wields it.

To add to Alex’s point: enslavement is a social technology and it absolutely is a bad technology, no matter who is wielding it

Before I was a politician, I was a proud union member. I’m honored to stand with my union brothers and sisters on Labor Day and every day. In the Senate, I’ll fight to raise pay, lower costs, and empower Texas workers.

The return to physical media is a radical act. A book in your hand or a record on the turntable belong to a world beyond subscriptions, licenses, and corporate permission, and they can be lent, inherited, annotated, repaired, and loved. They remain when the platform fails and the servers die.

Good morning from Venice, where Alex Gibney's documentary film "MUSK" is premiering this afternoon! Select media has already seen the film under embargo, which lifts shortly after the screening begins, around 2 pm CET. Keep an eye out for those reviews, and I'll share more from the premiere.

If you want to learn more about "MUSK," I highly recommend this recent piece by The Hollywood Reporter. My understanding is that Musk's lawyers already tried to intimidated THR over it, showing just how sensitive he is about this film www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Elon Musk Unmasked in Alex Gibney Documentary: “Insane a Person This Chaotic Has So Much Power”

He is the richest man on earth. An explosive new film from the Oscar-winning director suggests he also may be among the most dangerous.
