I could not be more proud of the Duke Grad Union fighting for recognition. In response, Duke has challenged the right of grad workers everywhere to unionize. I’m pledging #NoDollars4Duke until they abandon this embarrassing and transparent delay tactic. #LetUsVote
When commuters berate climate protesters blocking highways, it's not because they don't care about the climate. It's because FF infrastructure breaks solidarity, clarifying how much work is required to build a working-class climate movement. With the brilliant Claire Ravenscroft

My work reviewed w/ 斎藤幸平 in The New York Review of Books yet no cool pic w/Marx on my shoulder (jk it’s more about Kohei). “Huber…sees eco crisis as a consequence neither of growth nor of capitalist tech but of how & for whom the modern economy’s productive powers have been put to work”
Thanks to Casey Williams for writing this and a good time to boost his brilliant earlier review of my book in “Radical Philosophy”: radicalphilosophy.com/reviews/indivi…
I gloss the degrowth debate for The New York Review of Books this month, reviewing work by Kohei Saito and Matt Huber. Ultimately, there's much to admire in the degrowth vision, but it still lacks a theory of political change nybooks.com/articles/2025/…

“Critics…see degrowth as a Luddite fantasy, motivated by middle-class consumer guilt,” Casey Williams writes. “[But] almost all degrowth proponents…insist that such sacrifices would…open more avenues for self-fulfillment.” go.nybooks.com/4lSY1uz
“Today’s banana plantations could not simply be seized by workers and made to serve an ecologically conscious socialism. What’s needed is a totally different way of producing bananas—and probably far fewer of them.” —Casey Williams go.nybooks.com/3TPgkVL
For the The BREAK–DOWN today, Casey Williams rereads Stuart Hall in an age of climate breakdown break-down.org/reading-stuart…
Stuart Hall wrote little about the environment, but I argue in a new piece for The BREAK–DOWN that Hall is nonetheless essential reading for a left committed to addressing climate change break-down.org/reading-stuart…
