it was incredibly humbling to participate in the freedom school, which brought together scholars and activists from around the world, reflecting a whole range of struggles and movements fighting for housing and land justice.

Last week, it emerged that health insurance leaders pressured the DOJ to bring federal charges against Luigi Mangione. This week, I discovered the top 3 officials at DOJ all collected paychecks from healthcare companies before serving in government: shorturl.at/lgLIU

“The questions of who is the savage and who is the savior are now grinding against one another, in sufficient popular contention to force American politics to stumble.” New: Amna A. Akbar (Amna A. Akbar) on Luigi Mangione and Andreas Malm. nplusonemag.com/online-only/on…

Amazing, rangy, beautifully written conjunctural analysis by the great Amna A. Akbar featuring Malm, Mangione, the Eldon Ave. Revolutionary Union Movement, and much more. nplusonemag.com/online-only/on…

I wrote n+1 identifying the impasse of the moment through the lens of Andreas Malm and Luigi Mangione, and the interlinking narrative, political, and material crises of the United States -- as well as the questions it poses the road ahead nplusonemag.com/online-only/on…

Different messages for different settings. To the base: Fuck courts, we're in charge! To the MSM: You see, we didn't *defy* a court ruling exactly, there's a good legal reason... To the judge: Really, we're bending over backward to do what you asked x.com/MattZeitlin/st…

Both Republicans and Democrats oversaw the merger of the criminal legal and immigration systems, leading to more people being deported and detained. Read Amna A. Akbar’s interview with abolitionist immigration justice organizer Silky Shah, new at PB: buff.ly/ohHlUAu

Zohran’s campaign was laser-focused on affordability. But take a closer look at the policy proposals and nearly all of them do double duty, targeting both cost of living crisis and climate crisis in one fell swoop. Brilliant stuff from Batul Hassan on “green abundance for the many”

Zohran carried both AD49 and AD47 in Brooklyn, which are heavily Chinese districts that swung hard to the right over the last 4 years. They chose the socialist over Cuomo. That's remarkable.
