Welcome to The Cahokian... A thousand years ago Cahokia — across the Mississippi from what is now St. Louis — was one of the biggest cities in the world. Now it's an empty green spot next to the highway. I'm a middle-aged gay man living in New York City, center of the world, future footnote on somebody's future map. Welcome to the new world.

Resistanbul!
I wish I had time to write up something on the inspiring uprising in Turkey: #OccupyGezi, a kind of reborn Occupy movement on steroids, sweeping across Turkey's cities. Repression has been sporadic, and actually quite dramatic today. This graphic was created by a comrade from one of movement photographer Jenna Pope's amazing images. It will have to do until I get some time to write something up.
Meanwhile, good stuff, including historical analyses from the communist movement in Turkey that also addresses the complex ethnic patchwork in that country, is being regularly posted on Kasama.
