Sehr schöne Besprechung der Arbeiten von Trouillot, Williams und Gilroy, die auch die Unterschiede innerhalb der schwarzen radikalen Theoriebildung würdigt, von @rheinze.myatproto.social. Dem letzten Absatz stimme ich voll zu und würde noch Andaiye hinzufügen.

Die aktuelle moralische Panik um die 'neue autoritäre Linke' ist vor allem ein weiterer Ausdruck der gegenwärtigen Faschisierung. nothing more, nothing less.
Sehr guter Bericht von Michèle Winkler, der sowohl die Terrortaktiken von ICE als auch hyperlokale Widerstände in den Blick nimmt: www.grundrechtekomitee.de/details/soli...

Amazing, congrats, Anthony!
Congratulations Anthony! 📕🎵
Everyone who wants to read a splendid analysis of abolition in the making by black leftists in the 1930s in the US (like Du Bois, Richard Wright, Marvel Cooke, William L. Patterson, Louise Thompson, and Langston Hughes) should read this book!
@danielloick.bsky.social and I wrote a thing: "Surplus Fascism: Reflections on Current Tendencies of Abandonment in Germany and Beyond", for a SI in New German Critique. @robin-c.bsky.social and H. Kundnani also contributed some really good pieces, among others! read.dukeupress.edu/new-german-c...
German Memory Politics at a Crossroads
Very happy to be part of this new special issue
I wrote my article
“Staatsräson as State Racism: Notes on the Authoritarian Turn in Contemporary Germany”
last spring … and the authoritarian turn hasn’t slowed down

The huge budget for ICE mega warehouses reflects the most Trumpian mix: cronyist dealmaking in service of white nationalism... if local self-interest becomes a barrier to the expansion of Trump’s deportation regime, that’s no bad thing @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2026/02/17/w...

I’ve published an article with @ersjournal.com, which reads Marvel Cooke’s 1930s writing on the “Bronx Slave Market” as a form of abolitionist critique. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Sarah B. & Ida D. combined a great SI: "Theorizing Racial Capitalism in (Post)Imperial Europe". Welfare carcerality, expropriation of migrant labor and surplusification, are some of the topics. Happy to be included in the convo: read.dukeupress.edu/south-atlant...
Posting this gem by RWG on post-Keynesian militarism, crisis & surplus as a reminder, as it seems that some folks still do not understand what abolition is actually about (e.g. heard a convo where someone said that abolition is about abolishing "things"): journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
Danielle Araújo & Silvia Rodríguez invited us to be part of a symposium on anti-black violence in 2022, while there was some delay, I am so grateful that all the great pieces are now out in the world with antipode, including my piece on policing, un-breathing & black geographies in europe (oa).
Happy to share that my article "Policing the surplus crisis, carceral racism and abolitionist resistance in Germany" was shortlisted for the ERS Martin Bulmer Prize, amongst several other great articles, and will be open access soon for some time.)

They should have learned: "if they take you in the morning, they will be coming for us that night". (Baldwin)
"at one point you realize that there is no possibility of justice in the existing immigration system, that the immigration system is absolutely central to bringing fascism into our lives, to bringing racism into our lives" (Nandita Sharma).

Given ICE’s violent, impunity-drenched core, at a moment when the Trump regime is leaning heavily into a vision of dominance grounded in aggression and lawlessness, such a killing (certainly not ICE's first) was all but inevitable. @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2026/01/07/i...
