The first video in our series on Trump's second term is with @arunkundnani.bsky.social - author of What is Antiracism? and The Muslims are Coming! Kundnani describes the failures of the Democrats and suggests that the rise of the far-right can be viewed as the War on Terror returning home.

Across the Maghreb, resistance movements are challenging border militarisation and advocating for policies rooted in regional solidarity and self-determination. These movements often draw on anti-colonial legacies to border imperialism. tni.org/borderimperialismmaghreb

They arrested him because he is too decent, too fastidious, and too humane for today's NYU. Andrew Ross is one of the US's great public scholars and a fearless campaigner for justice. By aiding the NYPD in his arrest, @newyorkuniversity.bsky.social has brought eternal shame upon itself.

For 50 years, @tninstitute.bsky.social has been a rendezvous point for movements from the global South to come together, along with radicals from the North. In its new five-part series, TNI people look at major moments shaping the international Left over that period. audioboom.com/playlists/46...

Keir Starmer's government seems to be embracing the Policy Exchange thinktank - which was the most influential promoter of Islamophobic policies during the years the Conservatives were in power. hyphenonline.com/2024/12/02/p...

Policy Exchange told the Tories that Muslims were a threat. Will it work on Labour?

The right-wing thinktank has played a crucial role in shaping narratives about Islam and extremism in Britain since 2005

"One of the particular cruelties of another Trump presidency is that while his policies will drive millions deeper in debt, the self-proclaimed 'King of Debt' will live ostentatiously while he’s simultaneously carrying far more debt than most anyone else." inthesetimes.com/article/trum...

The Trump Administration will drive everyday Americans dramatically deeper in debt. But we can fight back.

Trump’s program of mass deportations will be carried out by the Department of Homeland Security, a sprawling, bipartisan, corporations-serving monster that has always failed to secure us from the greatest dangers we face. And I have a new comic book on it: www.commonnotions.org/homeland-sec...

Most of the really perceptive analysis of Trump has come from the global South. Case in point: today's webinar hosted by @tninstitute.bsky.social, with Anuradha Chenoy, Adam Hanieh, Jayati Ghosh, and the especially sharp Walden Bello. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQyL...

I wrote on why to really explain Trump’s victory, we need to get at how it feels to be living in the debris of a failed neoliberal order. Neofascism offers a fantasy of restored individual sovereignty through the nihilistic pleasures of racial and gender domination. t.co/dDEzANL9Kh
