Milla Vodello is the pseudonym of an organizer with the Amazon Worker Solidarity (AWS) group in Toronto. Amazon Worker Solidarity is an independent grassroots organization of trade unionists, community activists, researchers, and workers at Amazon who recognize the fight against Amazon must be led by Amazon workers. It serves as a research and communications hub that disseminates analysis, research, and knowledge to support organizing happening on the ground at Amazon facilities in Ontario. Amazon is at the forefront of the current technological assault against workers, and since the mid-2010s, has been a core target for labour politics throughout Europe and North America.

Feb 5, 2026 - Fascist Aesthetics Has Come Back with MAGA Politics

By Henry A. Giroux

What is most revealing about the MAGA aesthetic is its studied ugliness. On one side stands the grotesque excess of beauty-pageant femininity, plastic smiles, puffy lips, lacquered beach-wave hair, sharpened jawlines, and a hyper-sexualized nostalgia masquerading as "traditional values." US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem exemplifies this aesthetic as a badge of cruelty. Carefully styling herself in a Barbie-doll register of hyper-femininity, she delivers media performances staged in front of prisons and other sites associated with the punishment and terrorization of immigrants. The effect is chilling: a glossy, pornographic aesthetic fused with images of confinement, state violence, and racialized cruelty. Beauty here does not soften power; it aestheticizes domination and makes authoritarian violence appear natural, even glamorous.

Feb 2, 2026 - Cybernetic Circulation Complex

Big Tech firms dominate the global economy. But what value do they actually produce? In Cybernetic Circulation Complex: Big Tech and Planetary Crisis (Verso, 2024), Nick Dyer-Witheford and Alessandra Mularoni argue that the role of firms like Amazon and Google, Palantir and Uber, is in the speeding up and automation of the circulation of commodities. Big Tech aims to subject everything from advertising and shopping, to logistics and financial services to the level of control and predictability that capital has secured in industrial production.

Jan 31, 2026 - Venezuela: It’s Much More Than Oil

By Don Fitz

As the US openly discussed schemes to add Greenland to its list of conquered territories, it became abundantly clear that "Alternative Energy" (AltE, solar, wind, hydro power) joined fossil fuels at center stage.1 Corporations which pull the puppet strings of governments are well aware that oil production will cease long before none remains in the ground. When extraction becomes so expensive that it takes more than a barrel of oil to obtain a barrel, then it will no longer be financially viable to pump it out. They must look to AltE.
