When you are organizing an issue campaign, you always do a power map where the identify your allies, opponents etc... the Mamdani campaign and most of the NYC should consider the NYT an opponent and act accordingly.

Thanks to C.S. Soong at Against the Grain for a great chat about my book! We discussed the militarized management of racial outsiders in Arkansas and how "white towns" under settler colonialism are not natural but rather forged through violence. Listen to the podcast below:

Thanks, @austinkocher.bsky.social, for the shout-out to New Destinations of Empire! Austin Kocher's work is indispensable for anyone trying to make sense of the contemporary U.S. (and beyond) immigration system, particularly immigration enforcement, detention, and border policing.
