Activism: Occupying the Imagination, Cultivating a New Politics
This excellent article provides an in-depth analysis of the current political landscape in the US as it relates to globalization, changes in the economy, future demographic changes, the resurgence of conservatism, the death of multiculturalism, and the occupy movement.

My heart makes my head swim - Franz Fanon, "Black Skin, White Masks"
Part I: Bare Life
Reports and rumors filter out of government documents and family distress signals to locate precisely the ongoing devastation of social life in the United States. Unemployment rates linger at perilously high levels, with the effective rate in some cities, such as Detroit, stumbling on with half the population without waged work. Home foreclosures fail to slow-down, and sheriffs and debt-recovery paramilitaries scour the landscape for the delinquents. Personal debt has escalated as ordinary people with uneven means of earning livings turn to banks and to the shady world of personal loan agencies to take them to the other side of starvation. Researchers at the RAND Corporation tell us that absent family support, poverty rates among the elderly will be about double what they are now. In other words, economist Nancy Folbre’s “invisible heart” is trying its best to hold back the noxious effects of the “invisible hand.”

Activism: Governing With 'Class': Politics The Bloomberg Way
A new book argues that the popular image of Mike Bloomberg as a post-ideological mayor misses the profound way he has reshaped New York for the benefit of the corporate elite.
By Julian Brash
As only the fourth modern New York mayor to secure a third term, Michael Bloomberg's impact will be deeply etched in the city's physical shape and political culture. But it won't be a simple legacy. In “Bloomberg's New York: Class and Governance in the Luxury City”, Julian Brash argues that the mayor's aversion to traditional politics was, in fact, the hallmark of a new kind of politics—one that reconciled tensions between government and corporations by remaking the former in the image of (and for the benefit of) the latter. Here is an excerpt:

In the words of Walt Whitman, “I sing the body electric,” as referenced by Kahlil Gibran, “in the depth of my soul there is a wordless song.” It is apparent there is universality in music. The underlying premise is that we are all connected by a bonding force that we have an awareness of, music acts as a conduit to that awareness. It reveals emotional states that exceed our capability to express i
n words. In contemporary terms, “can you feel it,” relates to the same notion of there being some unidentifiable presence, a presence that exposes our physical body to the resonating vibrations of truth. In Aldous Huxleys’ Doors of Perception, he shares with us the reference to a common bond experienced through sight and sound. Huxley further discloses, “after silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.” Our bodies have a subconscious tonal perception to the celestial symphony. We are a product of life’s sonic origins.
It would certainly seem all the world over, same song. Or should we say… all the Universe over, same song.
