On the same day in 1908, 15k women marched in NYC for shorter work hours, better pay, voting rights, and an end to child labor. The slogan "Bread and Roses" emerged from the protest, with bread symbolizing economic security and roses for better living standards.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Episode 65 - Making Sense of the Radical Right Radical right-wing politics is commonly understood as a cry of the β€œleft behind” - working-class voters who lost out in the transition to a post-industrial, services-based, and globalized economy. Philip Rathgeb, a political economist at the University of Edinburgh, challenges this view in How the Radical Right Has Changed Capitalism and Welfare in Europe and the USA (Oxford University Press, 2024). Rathgeb joins Chris Maisano on the latest episode of the SLU podcast Reinventing Solidarity to talk about his book, what differentiates the Republican Party from its right-wing counterparts elsewhere, and how his research might inform the efforts of people working to reinvent solidarity in the current moment.

Where’s the Sabotage? Repression, Recruitment, and Tactical Evolution in the U.S. Radical Environmental Movement. Thomas Zeitzoff   Why did the U.S. radical environmental movement shift away from tactics like arson and sabotage in the mid-2000s? And given the rising threat of climate change, why haven’t these more contentious tactics made a comeback? This puzzle is particularly significant to scholars of terrorism because radical environmental groups like the Earth Liberation Front appear in major terrorism databases, and faced heavy repression from the government, despite causing no fatalities. I argue that repression and recruitment networks play a central role in shaping tactical repertoires. To test this theory, I combine original data on eco direct actions (1995–2022), surveys, and interviews of activist experts. I find that repression sharply reduced the pace of direct actionsβ€”particularly sabotage and arsonβ€”and disrupted the punk and anarchist recruitment networks that had supported them. In their place, the climate justice movement emerged, favoring civil disobedience and mass protest over clandestine tactics. Repression thus altered the movement both directly (by targeting high-risk actors and their tactics) and indirectly (by reshaping recruitment pipelines). I conclude with a discussion of how climate politics, activist subcultures, repression, and the contested boundary of what constitutes terrorism may influence the future trajectory of radical environmentalism.

New in Terrorism & Political Violence: Why did radical environmental groups stop using arson & sabotage? And, given the threat from climate change why haven't those tactics returned?

My article "Where's the Sabotage" seeks to answer these questions.

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program.

Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program.

A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

On #TDIH in 1973, a 71-day uprising began when 200 Oglala Lakota & American Indian Movement members seized the town of Wounded Knee, SD, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to demand treaty negotiations.

Tribal leaders ended the standoff when US government snipers killed Oglala Buddy Lamont.
