Cutover Capitalism: The Industrialization of the Northern Forest
Back when resources started running scarce, the environment of the forest and bodies of workers became the natural resources from which mills and landowners extracted. Bodies and cutover landscapes were mobilized in new ways to increase the scale and efficiency of production—a brutal process for workers, human and animal alike. In the Northern Forest, an industrial working class formed in relation to the unique ways that workers’ bodies were used to produce value and in relation to the seasonal cycles of the forest environment.

Texas Attorney General Paxton Continues Fight Against NGOs That Serve Migrants
The legal conflict began when Paxton arrived at Annunciation House on February 7, 2024, demanding a vast array of confidential records to be turned over to the Office of the Attorney General within 24 hours…. This aggressive stance not only underscored the growing tension in Texas between state authorities and organizations that provide essential support to migrants but also shocked many, including Pope Francis, who was taken aback by Paxton’s attack on a religious nonprofit. Annunciation House has strongly denied any involvement in illegal activities, with their attorney stating, “There is no legal basis for closing a nonprofit that provides social services to refugees. Period.”

Trump: “We’re losing 300,000 people a year to fentanyl that comes through our border. We had it down to the lowest number and now it’s worse than it’s ever been.”
Trump’s figures appear to have no basis in fact. Government statistics show the number of drug overdose deaths per year is hovering around 100,000 to 110,000, with opioid-related deaths at about 81,000. That’s enough that the government has labeled opioid-related overdoses an “epidemic,” but nowhere close to the number Trump cited.
