The busiest port in North America is 45 minutes down I-35 from Texas’ infamous migrant prison. I try to demystify their relationship in the April issue of Field Notes

Good day to revisit how the last few years have intensified but hardly departed from 30+ years of barbarism and fascicization in the global borderlands

It looks like every congressional district along the U.S.–Mexico border voted Democratic in this election, from San Diego to Brownsville. A remarkable political statement, especially considering how central the border has been to Donald Trump’s political rise. The very region he turned into a defining symbol of his political movement is now sending a very different message to the rest of the country.

Next up in this series of poems on repression/resistance via @saintbitcho, Bisson's response to an FBI subpoena to a grand jury on the Puerto Rican Independentistas. He tracks history of non-cooperation & political prison resistance against a history of FBI & US state violence.
Here: a 1st in a series suggested by @saintbitcho around fed/judicial/prosecutorial repression (h/t Freedom Archives!). Saxe was imprisoned following bank & arms expropriation. Here she defends the alleged dishonesty of women in a patriarchal world against which they revolt.

In the second Trump term, struggles over borders and migration have roiled cities and inspired city-wide uprisings. But struggles – both the fear and the hope that they inspire – manifest on the shop floor, in Amazon warehouses and beyond.

Thousands of Mexican workers use visitor visas twice a week to “donate” plasma to multinational corporations in the US, receiving a $50 gift card in return (a “gift” to avoid a labor designation).
For @longhaul_mag I went from Brownsville to El Paso to speak w/ those workers

New on our site: "Beneath Class and Consciousness," an essay from X. Rivera Maya and Richard Hunsinger. The authors provide a critique of the theory of the party in Phil A. Neel's work and defend an alternative conception of the party.
