Today, @ntinatzouvala.bsky.social and @azohra.bsky.social kick off a series on international law under the second Trump administration. The embrace of naked coercion, they argue, represents both a genuine departure from, and the culmination of the internal contradictions of, the post-WWII order.

"According to local news outlet El Paso Matters, the three-gigawatt data center complex “would consume more electricity than all of El Paso Electric’s 460,000 customers combined." data centers will become defined as national security infrastructure borderlands the first to pay the price as always
More Perfect Union@moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe Pentagon is aiming to put data centers on military land. At least two 50-year leases have been proposed, in both cases the Army is leasing over 1,000 acres to data center developers. In exchange the Army will get compute power to accelerate the use of AI in its operations.

Congrats to Bench Ansfield 🎉! If you want to see what all the buzz is about, check out their interview with Andrew Anatasi on how arson became profitable for landlords, how residents organized to stop it, and what this tells us about the ongoing interplay between property and racial capitalism.

Bench Ansfield@benchansfield.bsky.social · 3mo agoHoly smokes
it is not judicial activism when it is going after what scalia called a “racial entitlement.” you know, voting rights.
Jay Willis@jaywillis.net · 3mo agoI have spent my entire career listening to FedSoc types complain about liberal “activist judges” who “legislate from the bench,” and none of them are going to say a single blessed thing about Sam Alito rewriting the Voting Rights Act to say what he thinks Congress ought to have said
Everybody, absolutely everybody, saw Callais coming. It’s the logical outgrowth of a successful effort to gut the Voting Rights Act that spans decades, predicated upon a myopic understanding of racial discrimination and an antebellum conception of federalism. That doesn’t make this any easier.
Today, @azohra.bsky.social explains how the recent conviction of Anti-ICE protestors represents a dangerous and increasingly common form of guilt by association that is antithetical to collective political action.
