It’s gonna be a long hot summer. The National Guard stood toe-to-toe with local LAPD in riot gear. Migra were caught escaping hurled bricks between Compton and Paramount. Thousands of people were marching and confronting pigs on the freeways, being met with tear gas and less-than-lethal bullets. Señoras were vending hotdogs between battles, on theContinue reading “Revolt and Representation: A View from the Battle for Los Angeles – Heatwave”

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network is launching a new zine, “What to do when you, too, become a ‘terrorist’” — inspired by our own experience being banned in Germany and being labeled a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT)” by the United States and a “terrorist entity” by Canada, and by the ongoing attempts of theContinue reading “What to do when you, too, become a “terrorist”: New zine launch! | Samidoun: Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network”
How to Answer the Stupidest Questions About Palestinians | The Nation

Science of Coercion, reviewed by Brian Martin
Before I read this book, I would have thought that psychological warfare was basically strong propaganda. No longer. This was the idea promoted by early US academic researchers into mass communication. Much of their work was funded by and carried out for the US military. The military had its own definition of psychological warfare. AContinue reading “Science of Coercion, reviewed by Brian Martin”
