The U.S.-Mexico border operates as a laboratory for generalized crisis. Mexico is not on the margins of this crisis: it is one of its active frontiers. On the border, multiple forms of control converge: safe third country agreements, militarization of the National Guard, outsourcing of repressive functions, and cross-border detention networks.| Heatwave
Réalité offers a useful portrait of one of the economic ideologies at work in the Trump administration, and gives us insight into the motives of some fractions of capital that have aligned with Trump and MAGA. But when it comes to sussing out "the implications for the international circuit of capital," they are entirely too credulous.| Heatwave

The failures of the Democratic administration can be seen not as contingent errors, but rather as the tail end of a long cycle of U.S. and global politics — namely, that of ascendent globalisation, which had already been severely shaken by the crisis of 2008.| Heatwave
In Australia, as across the world, a massive wave of struggle rose against the genocide in Palestine, comprised of a wide constellation of political groups and practices. Compared to previous iterations of Palestine solidarity here, this wave has been more widespread, involving a broader range of tactics.| Heatwave
Abeng, a short-lived newspaper, offers a window into Jamaica's revolutionary currents in the late 60s. Acting as a theoretical nexus between communism and black power, it also served as a means of practical communication between different currents of class struggle on the island.| Heatwave

Although she had long been interested in the Burmese revolution, it was not a focus of her research or activism (which had recently centered on the Iranian uprising of 2022), but when it became necessary for her to leave China, Thailand happened to be the country easiest for her to enter on short notice until she could move to a third country. While she was waiting, she took advantage of the opportunity t...| Heatwave
