The polycrisis is prefigured in Arrighi’s theory of hegemonic transition. Systemic cycles of accumulation culminate in chaos as conflict escalates & new & old rules compete.

Our new open access paper links the accumulation process & chaos using a logistic map. 🧶

Scholars Against the War on Palestine have released a petition calling for the immediate protection of the persecuted Palestinian academic Dr. Nadera Shalhoub Kevorkian. Please read and circulate as appropriate.

This take makes no sense - if what is going on on college campuses can be explained by trends Putnam identified in 1995, why is this happening *now*? Wouldn’t it make more sense to point to, I don’t know, the ongoing war and our non-responsive government’s endless support for it?

So much love for state school students who are overwhelmingly working class, many first generation, without a safety net for violence, arrest, or expulsion and doing this w/ little recognition. Truly a risk-taking principled stand in solidarity

Making our unions a vehicle to #FreePalestine will require we wrest back our locals from business unionism and the status quo.

That's why I'm running for Financial Secretary of UAW4811 on a BDS, Disability Justice and #Cola4All platform.

I have been banned from my university's campus for protesting against a genocide

Turkish universities have fired and harassed thousands of academics for their calls for peace with the Kurds. Recently, many of these same universities issued declarations condemning American universities for their attacks against academics who call for peace in Palestine. ++

CUNY students and faculty stand shoulder to shoulder to push back against violent incursion onto their peaceful #CUNYGazaSolidarityEncampment CUNY GAZA Solidarity Encampment

If one sees white US frats and sororities as continuation of the regime of rule the Reconstruction tried to end, the logic of cops/frats alliance seems clearer.

University of Illinois Urbana-Champagne protesters have encircled police using reinforced banners & signs

'Thank you American students'

Another instance of cops on campus emboldening fascist attacks on anti-genocide protestors

What is abolition but the expansion of solidarity? At CUNY we have an in-built structure for this due to faculty and staff being in the same union together. Maybe NYU next 👀

Friday at the CUNY Gaza Solidarity Encampment

GOOOOOOOD MORNING, we made it through the night y'all.

🔻 UAW came through + rallied with us all night
🔻 SO MUCH food that we redistributed to folks around the village
🔻WE KICKED THE RIOT COPS OUT AND HAD NO ARRESTS

Round 2 is for the children of Gaza ❤️‍🩹🇵🇸 #nyu4palestine

This acute moment of authoritarian escalation is empowering fascists. Students, faculty, staff, parents, siblings, and other comrades are protecting campuses, workplaces, and the streets from cops, from their fascist friends, and from the elites collaborating with both.

Wow. The City University of New York negotiators told our students at the encampment at CCNY that they would only be allowed to use the bathrooms if they took down their flags.

Bathroom is now restricted to CCNY ID holders and not for cuny wide students. This is absurd.

The untold story of those affected by the sudden closing of Foxtrot and Dom’s Kitchen: Dozens of immigrant workers who can’t get unemployment.

“We are families, we are not garbage,” they chanted in Spanish in front of the Foxtrot commissary in Pilsen.

More to come.

Forget the 60s, we’re seeing tactics from the 30s back on the table: flying squads on the move holding the BDS picket line 😍
