Looks like a good organization. They've published several reports on the mistreatment of migrants by law enforcement at the Mexican border.

"No More Deaths is a humanitarian organization based in southern Arizona. We began in 2004 in the form of a coalition of community and faith groups, dedicated to stepping up efforts to stop the deaths of migrants in the desert and to achieving the enactment of a set of Faith-Based Principles for Immigration Reform."

I had no idea some European countries regulated baby names to such a degree (maintaining white lists and requiring names to be indicative of gender).

Toledo City Paper's profile of a local anarchist activist (not sure what the "atypical" part is supposed to be).

I came across this old archived vivalavinyl thread. I learned that even people who hated folk punk in 2005 still liked Erik Petersen and Defiance, Ohio.

An example of the FBI, in collaboration with a judicial system unable or unwilling to protect individuals' constitutional rights, taking it upon themselves to punish an activist.

I'm currently listening to this radio series by David Cayley on Simone Weil (nearly 5 hours total length).

Sheldon Richman got an introduction to the libertarian left and free-market anti-capitalism published on The American Conservative back in 2011.

This essay by Spencer Sunshine is over ten years old now, but still very informative on national-anarchism and other attempts at fascist use of leftist ideas.

"The danger National-Anarchists represent is not in their marginal political strength, but in their potential to show an innovative way that fascist groups can rebrand themselves and reset their project on a new footing."

This American Life did a good bit on a free speech kerfuffle at the University of Nebraska where a sincere and sympathetic teenager tabling for the right-wing Turning Point USA was confronted and berated by a staff member/grad student for being a 'neofascist Becky'. But the program does not merely paint TPUSA in a sympathetic light, it also points out some ways in which the rights of white students are disproportionately protected.

The program also strongly implies that the grad student in question (who was removed from her teaching position after the incident) is affiliated with the activist group (or 'brand' for lack of a better term) called Betsy Riot. It looks like a liberal antifascist and anti-gun group which describes its members as "feminist patriots" and "punk patriots" (so maybe emphasis on the liberal). https://betsyriot.com/

A history of Troy Southgate's "national-anarchism" initiative. "Its importance lies in the case study it supplies of fascism as an amorphous and continually metamorphosing phenomenon." The paper concludes with a warning to anarchist activists they take care not to be national-Bolshevized.

• 20% of renter households in Richmond were threatened with eviction in 2016
• Of those actually evicted, the median amount owed was $686
• Judgments issued in majority white neighborhoods were far less common
• Mr. Desmond’s eviction calculations are probably conservative: They include only households that touched the legal process, not those in which people moved with an informal warning

CrimethInc on the rise and fall of La ZAD.

"On January 17, 2018, the French government announced on television, via the voice of Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, that it had given up on pursuing the highly controversial project of building a new airport at Notre-Dame-des-Landes (NDDL). This decision capped five decades of political, economic, legal, environmental, and personal struggle. The airport was to be located approximately 30 kilometers north of the city of Nantes in western France; instead, the site became la ZAD—the Zone a Défendre (Zone To Defend). What began as a small protest camp grew into a world-famous space of autonomous experimentation that lasted almost nine years."

"Ricardo was followed by two able and well-trained pupils — Marx and Marshall. Meanwhile English history had gone right round the corner, and landlords were not any longer the question. Now it was capitalists. Marx turned Ricardo’s argument round this way: Capitalists are very much like landlords. And Marshall turned it round the other way: Landlords are very much like capitalists. Just round the corner in English history you see two bicycles of the very same make — one being ridden off to the left and the other to the right."

"Keynes says the crisis comes about through a lack of ‘effective demand’, namely an unaccountable fall in investment and consumption and this causes profits and wages to fall. Marx says: let’s start with profits. If profits fall, then capitalists would stop investing, lay off workers and wages would drop and consumption would fall. Then there would be a lack of effective demand, as Keynesians like to put it, but this would not be due to a drop in ‘animal spirits’, or ‘confidence’ (we often hear that phrase from economists: ‘a lack of confidence’), or even due to ‘too high’ interest rates, but because profits are down. The problem lies in the nature of capitalist production, not in the finance sector."
