- Reposted by Nathan GoodmanAnarchists are your neighbors. Their kid goes to preschool with your kid. They are in class with you at the local community College. They are your coworkers, your friends, and your family members. We don't just fucking spawn out of thin air if full black bloc gear anytime there's a protest
- Reposted by Nathan GoodmanThis is a common response whenever Cato publishes something that runs against GOP or conservative views, but it’s worth noting that Cato has been radically pro-immigration since 1977 and arguably the most pro-immigration think tank in DC since 1981.

- This piece by @mutual-a.bsky.social at @c4ssdotorg.bsky.social, along with @margaret.bsky.social's analysis of community defense in Minneapolis, together illustrate the incredible power of grassroots, polycentric movements. margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/our-neighb...
- "The networks that are looking out for them are far and away the largest, most organized, and most successful networks like these I’ve ever seen, and they’re entirely decentralized. There is no central group or organization that is making this happen. It’s just people." - @margaret.bsky.social
- "The specific structure of closed encrypted group chats means the resistance is more resilient. Hack right-wing “journalists” like Cam Higby can infiltrate individual chats, but they only reveal a small part of the broader network." - @mutual-a.bsky.social

- ICE, CBP, and Border Patrol are a threat to the rule of law. I discussed this with @jacobtlevy.bsky.social on the Hayek Program Podcast this past summer. Sadly, our conversation remains relevant. www.mercatus.org/hayekprogram...

- As Don Lavoie said, "our task now...is to complete the American revolution." The principles the founders articulated were never applied consistently. Applying them consistently "is a workable ideal...that...is far more compatible with the humanitarian and internationalistic values of the left."

- Reposted by Nathan GoodmanM. Gessen, gift link: The soviet secret police too "were ruled by quotas... Fundamentally, the terror was random. That is, in fact, how state terror works. The randomness is the difference between a regime based on terror and a regime that is plainly repressive"

- Agents of the state are killing people in broad daylight. Rather than adopting even the pretense of taking time to investigate, administration officials rush to defame the dead. Before the body is cold, they call the victim a "domestic terrorist" or "assassin." Craven behavior.

- The academic literature on "Governing Knowledge Commons" offers some useful tools for analyzing epistemic ecosystems. @erwindekker.bsky.social, @pavelkuchar.bsky.social, @ottolehto.bsky.social, and various other friends of mine have contributed to this. I hope people outside academia leverage this
- Reposted by Nathan Goodman"ICE can’t be reformed. It needs to be dismantled." 🧵- Abolish ICE is the only serious, realistic solution. It's been rotten from its Bush-era start and is now entirely irredeemable just on basic good government grounds. You can't fix a lawless paramilitary force of brutal goons.
- I made the case for abolishing ICE after ICE agent, Jonathan Ross, shot Renee Good, a mom dropping off her toddler at school, three times in the face after she smiled at him and tried to drive away. You'll never guess what Trump and Vance did next. www.theunpopulist.net/p/abolish-ic...
