And last but not least, Phil Henderson critiques the strange implicit reliance on the nation-state frame and analysis of the individual psychology of settlers in lieu of an apprehension of transnational imperial networks and transborder Indigenous and anti-capitalist solidarities. (6/6)

Max Ajl plumbs the writings of Palestinian revolutionary Ghassan Kanafani to develop an account of settler colonialism inextricable from global capital accumulation and the tasks of anti-imperialist orientation and organizing. (5/6)

Morgan Mowatt examines the still-inadaquate treatment and political accountability of/to Indigenous political thought and Indigenous sovereignty in political theory work on settler colonialism--what they call "settler deferral." (4/6)

My introduction canvasses a richer genealogy of movement work than is usually acknowledged in the discipline. I argue that the field of "settler-colonial studies" in the Anglosphere has often truncated important political and interpretive connections that are imperative to keep making. (3/6)

I wrote the introduction, with brilliant contributions from Morgan Mowatt, Max Ajl, and Phil Henderson. Thanks to my co-contributors and to CE editor Cigdem Cidam for excellent revisions and sheperding us through the process. (2/6)

Debate me bros on the quad. Official first day of spring.

Conservative bros set up to debate students and film it film it for “owning the libs” videos, with propositions such as “Americans can’t afford housing but socialism won’t work”

No, they shouldn’t. B/c 1. You can’t just make Cold War civil rights happen again. 2. Cold War Anti-communism was a reputational pressure cooker for civil rights *and* for their severe repression. 2. Increased geopolitical competition (you want more escalation?!?!?) is a recipe against reform.

Is this a joke? Some of those campus leaders are still in jail, face deportation, or had their normal lives stripped from them by the security state.

The fact that he’s not running again suggests that this is Walz’s real preference for less spectacular ways of snatching our neighbors from their communities.

I am reminded, yet again, of how often the people the fascist state executes are already in jobs that involve caring for others and holding worlds together—and that they still spend their time off caring for our neighbors.

Ok I need to spell this out more slowly, clearly: Greenland is Inuit land and nobody but Inuit should be getting to decide what happens to it

I don’t disagree with you. The discontinuities matter too of course. but your argument is different from his, which is “we used to be the good guys and now we are the bad guys.”

We don’t have to tell stories that are false to opposed bad things, and we are more likely to get more bad things if we tell stories that cover over continuities with all the other same bad things.

A century that includes the US navy using gunboats to literally pilfer the Haitian treasury. Wtaf are they talking about?

The willful historical illiteracy among pundits about American imperialism is still shocking, no matter how predictable.

I saw the “using children as human shields” line used by someone in the admin the other day with reference to Minneapolis and wondered if people might finally get it.

Ask Liz about her mentorship and teaching. She has directed just a huge range of different amazing projects, but no one seems to ask her about it.

The federal government has occupied Minneapolis. And everyone can see the abuses that come from this situation day in and day out. Even people not protesting cant keep their kids safe. Now imagine 77 years of this.

Absolutely no one: “I wonder what Emily Oster thinks about all this?”

Fraudster Emily Oster op-Ed claiming that Kennedy’s advice is “not crazy”

Reminder that for US foreign policy elites contemplating intervention since 1945: “democracy” means right-wing dictatorship “dictatorship” means left-wing dictatorship, social democracy, or democratic socialism

I can’t be the only one who thinks that the timing is partly motivated by Trump being envious at the media attention lavished on Mamdani.

Bombing Venezuela and kidnapping Maduro is completely consistent with US Imperialism’s long and bloody history in Latin America.

The US’ aspiring tyrant just abducted the leader of another sovereign state because oil! Why in god’s name are you leading with “but Maduro”?

Tasks of the US left are to stand in solidarity with the Venezuelan people and make sure this war becomes deeply unpopular at home.

The US is a rogue state. The US has always been a rogue state.
