Interesting watching everybody see the fascist takeover through their own lens: - Schmitt (friend/foe Nazi theory) - Project 2025 - Seven Mountains Dominionism - Network State - Dugin Eurasianism - Project Russia - Monetary policy capture In reality, they have all merged. 🤝

It's publication day for my book, Fortress Power (@UMinnPress). The book is about the weaponization of the built environment, from the early modern bastion fortress to present-day border landscapes and privatized cities. upress.umn.edu/9781517917937/…

Over ten years ago I created a mix that combines Douglass' What to the Slave is the Fourth of July with Marvin Gaye's performance of the Star Spangled Banner. Gets at the complicated nature of this day better than anything I've written. lesterspence.com/the-frederick-…

A 25-year-old DOGE bro at the CFPB held $715,000 in stocks that ethics lawyers told him he wasn’t allowed to own while working there — then DOGE fired those ethics lawyers. This is corruption. Always call it out. propublica.org/article/cfpb-g…
