I’m exploring spending time in #London and #Glasgow early next year as part of a small series of public talks on my research.

Any leads on potential hosts/partner spaces open to critical & creative work at the intersections of #BlackStudies, #abolition, #CriticalGeography & #PerformanceStudies?

Goebbels Ends Careers of Five 'Aryan' Actors Who Made Witticisms About the Nazi Regime

Feb. 4, 1939

February 4, 1939, Page 1

BERLIN, Feb. 3.—Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels today ended the professional careers of five "Aryan" actors and cabaret announcers by expelling them from the Reich's Chamber of Culture on the grounds that “in their public appearances they displayed a lack of any positive attitude toward National Socialism and therewith caused grave annoyance in public and especially to party comrades.” The five include perhaps the best known German stage comedians who survived previous Chamber of Culture purges and still dared to indulge in political witticisms—namely, Werner Finck, Peter Sachse and “The Three Rulands,” represented by Helmuth Buth, Wilhelm Meissner and Manfred Dlugi. Their expulsion means that they are henceforth forbidden to appear before the public in Germany.

Besides motivating this action in an official communiqué, Dr. Goebbels also publishes a long article in the Voelkischer Beobachter in which he denounces them as “brazen, impertinent, arrogant and tactless" and generally imitators and successors to Jews. Simultaneously he denounces the "society rabble that followed them with thundering applause—parasitic scum, inhabiting our luxury streets, that seems to have only the task of proving with how little brains people can get along and even acquire money and prominence."

As regards the details of the "crimes" of which the five are accused, Dr. Goebbels mentions that they made political witticisms about the colonial problem, the Four-Year Plan and Chancellor Hitler's monumental building program and one of them even raised the question of whether there was any humor left in Germany today.

What amused the public most, however, and presumably roiled the National Socialist authorities most—although Dr. Goebbels does not mention it—is that they deftly, but unmistakably, caricatured some gestures, poses and physical characteristics of Nat…

NEW: “Remigration” and “mass deportations” is the new rallying cry of white nationalists. Experts say it’s a call for ethnic cleansing. A new Canadian group is trying to "normalize" the concept and get the Conservative Party of Canada to talk more about immigration.

“Remigration”: How White Nationalists Are Repackaging Ethnic Cleansing

White nationalists in multiple countries, including Canada, are pushing for mass deportations of non-Europeans to be part of the political platforms of their right-wing parties.

How many people lost their jobs and careers for opposing this horror? But now it's ok to say because it's so undeniable but only after brow beating the left? It was undeniable in the first few weeks after 10/7. So many simply refused to see it.

Hey Bluesky, It’s been a while. Here’s a selfie.

A person with medium-dark skin, a short curly fade hairstyle, a full beard, and a septum piercing is sitting at a table with an orange takeaway coffee cup in front of them. They are wearing a fitted black t-shirt, a silver chain necklace, and a black smartwatch with a rainbow watch face. The lighting is bright and natural, casting soft shadows. Framed abstract artwork is visible on the wall behind them. The person gazes directly into the camera with a calm, slightly inquisitive expression.
