For a Summer against ICE, in Memory of Joshua Clover | Verso Books
Joshua Clover lived for moments like these, days or nights “when the partisans of riot exceed the police capacity for management, when the cops make their first retreat…when the riot becomes fully itself, slides loose from the grim continuity of daily life.” Published nine years before his death this April, and inscribed “for Oakland, for the comrades,” his singular Riot.

While others may have forgotten the lessons of the George Floyd uprising, Trump and his coterie surely have not. The 2020 rebellion stands as the primal scene of humiliation and impotency, one which led to the demise of his reelection efforts. Although the National Guard ultimately restored order in twenty-three states, the Trump hardliners never had their bloodlust quenched, thwarted by career bureaucrats like General Mark Milley and Attorney General William Barr who declined to send in the army.
Seen in this light, the present reconfiguration of the American disciplinary executive apparatus shows itself to be a rather clear effort to avoid another such moment.
