It’s “testament to the sheer asymmetry of violence that Israel – thanks to U.S. aid – can afford to not only engage in mass slaughter before a global audience without constraint, but to do so in a piecemeal fashion that obscures the murderousness of its intent in clouds of dust”

The web of legal forms that makes U.S. imperialism possible goes beyond federal legislation and much of it is not public: it includes MoAs and executive agreements between states, technical instruments, contracts between governments and private entities.lpeproject.org/blog/imperiali…

Pls read by darryl li: 'A law & political economy approach..shows why imperialism shld be understood..as a tool for understanding..relations in which the subjugation of some nations by others is maintained by & for the accumulation of capital across borders.'

'the United States does not simply ship arms abroad, it is also the world’s leading arms trafficker, wielding enormous power over how weapons made by other countries circulate throughout the world as an immense collection of commodities'

extremely good from darryl li for LPE Blog

'the apparent haphazardness of artillery more readily registers as a sign of war, albeit a lopsided one, instead of genocide: a single shell can wipe out an entire family, while many others may fail to kill anyone.'

Amid today's news, it may be hard to make space for this report that Ira Regmi & I have written on the civil rights struggle to eradicate involuntary unemployment. But there is an important connection between free speech, robust protest, & protection from economic immiseration🧵

Nope, the protests have not led to the arrests. The arrests are the result of concerted decisions by administrators across campuses. Nothing natural or inevitable about the arrest of non-violent protestors.

Yale faculty to Yale administration: hands off our students.
