• business (In These Times),
  
• borders (The Guardian, The Nation),
  
• prisons (DW Online, The American Prospect),
  
• and movement politics (VICE, In These Times), nationally, in Chicagoland, and in the San Francisco Bay Area.

[essays, interviews]

• review of Christopher Logue's War Music (The Baffler).
  
• interview with Seattle City Councilor Kshama Sawant (Jacobin).
  
• Guernica essay on political accountability for the Second Iraq War.
