- I've an article in @thenation.com today. It critiques the analysis of bureaucracy that underpins @ezraklein.bsky.social and @dkthomp.bsky.social's book Abundance, while suggesting that building of popular protagonism can be the project that can orient the Left. www.thenation.com/article/econ...
- Reposted by Keir MilburnI came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

- Reposted by Keir MilburnFor those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies
- Reposted by Keir MilburnUsing imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

- Reposted by Keir MilburnIt is about oil. But just as important - if not more so - is eliminating opposition to the US assuming the entire of the Americas as its “operational space”. This is part of the US response to its role as global hegemon being gradually undermined

- I watched 276 films this year. 229 first time views with 47 rewatches. Here's my top ten films of 2025. On Falling, La Cocina, and All We Imagine as Light all feature attempts to live full lives despite the terrible constraints imposed by contemporary capitalism... 🧵
- There is a heartbreaking scene in On Falling, for instance, in which the protagonist breaks down on being asked what she does outside of work because her job at an Amazon fulfilment centre eats up all her time and energy and is far from fulfilling....
- All my top five films contain a looping temporality with the past and present interpenetrating. I'm Still Here and The Secret Agent return to Brazil's military dictatorship but both end by flipping forward into the present to explore the impact of the events portrayed...
