"It is clear that #borderRegimes—state institutions designated with the sole authority to deport and restrict entry—have today become a central mechanism for white supremacist worldmaking. What set of forces gave rise to these regimes, though, and how did they attain such wide-reaching, brutal strength? There is no shortage of historical antecedents." - #RobynMaynard

"[A]mid the redoubts of normality, a wide network of organized resistance and mutual aid had sprung up. The #Minneapolis - St. Paul metro area has a population of about three million. Immigrants comprise a fraction of this figure—about 10 percent—but it’s as if the entire city had mobilized in their defense."

"To echo Malcolm X, these monstrosities should be stopped by any means necessary, even if it just takes turning the off the water spigot. Still, the biggest reason to be outraged about this scheme for American #concentrationCamps should not be infrastructure but the rank immorality spelled out in the cold ink of the #DHS floor plan." - Will Bunch

'The United Kingdom's High Court has ruled that #Palestine Action should never have been proscribed as a "terrorist" organization. As the case winds its way to a final decision, what does this mean for the thousands of Britons who have been arrested — and for the future of Palestinian solidarity in the UK?'

--<--
The protests that began in Iran last month have been suppressed with a level of state violence not seen since the 1980s, when the Islamic Republic executed thousands of leftists and other dissidents. In this episode, Adam Shatz talks to Chowra Makaremi and Amir Ahmadi Arian about the evolution of public dissent in Iran since 1979 and why the ‘Woman, Life, Freedom’ movement of 2022 opened the way to more overtly revolutionary protest.

They also discuss the economic collapse underpinning the most recent uprising and the ways in which the Iranian regime has refined the use of opacity and rumour to consolidate its power.

Chowra Makaremi is an anthropologist at the French National Centre for Scientific Research in Paris and Amir Ahmadi Arian is a novelist and assistant professor at Binghamton University, New York.
