My latest publication on the emergence of an automobile culture in Mexico decades earlier than the consensus, looking at the role of the press to promote races and other events. Very excited to have published in Historia Crรญtica earlier this year.

I donโt think people are as focused on the identity politics side of things as long as the candidate is ideologically aligned. Ossoff channels Obama more than Schumer when heโs speaking publicly, imho.
Marxist philosopher Slavoj ลฝiลพek argues that the only two forces competing in American politics are MAGA populists and democratic socialists. The latter, he says, should โpenetrate the Democratic Partyโ rather than establish a separate party, and focus on grassroots organizing across various states.

Aside from the shocking substance of this story, what's amazing is how it was unearthed by Cole. The short version: The Russians were able to penetrate Jared Kushner's iPhone and extract screenshots and data. Then, a Russian intel official was captured by Dutch intelligence (!) and flipped. The Dutch believed Kushner may have been acting on behalf of Russia, so pursued him as an intel target and were able to get into his phone.
They did not find any evidence of Russian collusion, instead they watched him moving hundreds of millions of dollars from slush funds created by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, one of them housed in Israel's central bank.
Incredible reporting, and if Democrats have any sense, they will pull on these threads and learn a lot more about this money.

I remember the first time I gave my US history class in the spring of 2020 just as COVID got its grip on the world, and I talked about the coming scourge of deepfakes. People werenโt sure, but looking at this madness I feel vindicated six years later. ๐ฅด
