He canโ€™t define it, because whiteness is created to be invisible. Itโ€™s about domination over others, pure and simple.

Farm workers. The fields on the field. The legacies of slavery and colonialismโ€”the sugar cane plantation, labor power, power crisisโ€”despite it all, the future reaches through the tv to the past to make our postcolonial present.

The people of the Americas live on: seguimos aquรญ.

Up first is the Arts & Media essay "The Cost of Compliance" by @rachaelvm454.bsky.social which analyzes Apple TV+โ€™s Severance as a critique of how corporate culture strip workers of autonomy and identity while masking exploitation behind the language of purpose and growth. doi.org/10.1215/1547...

My article on the occupational sterilizations at a chemical factory in West Virginia has escaped the containment of the paywall.

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:

"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."

and

"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."

Every elected official who swore to uphold the constitution needs to understand that weโ€™re in the middle of an unconstitutional authoritarian takeover of the US and itโ€™s time to take a side.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Four Oglala detainees located, three still in ICE custody - ICT The four Lakota detainees were reportedly sent to a former concentration camp used during the Dakota Wars

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

They don't seem to realize that the video of them abusing a legal observer is probably worse than whatever video the legal observer had already obtained of them.
