Another "Bernie Bro" with a vagina. Anti-Zionist, Jewish mathematician. NOT a Democrat. We got Trump because Obama *chose* not to deliver. Lover of our planet and of all life. No war but class war. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

Such a disappointing response from you, Bernie. What the US needs to do is join forces, both political & military, with the ROTW and ENSURE the release of ALL the detainees. In the process, the entirety of the Israeli Government will have to be arrested, of course, but that'll only benefit humanity.

Children are starving in Gaza because of Israeli government policies. Hundreds of people from around the world organized a civilian flotilla to try to deliver food. Israel arrested them.

The United States must demand the immediate release of all detained Americans.

1) To start, we read the essay "Liberalism in Crisis" by Geoff Eley from the book Fascism in America.

This essay beautifully balances grounding our understanding of fascism in the interwar context with the need to conceptualize a more portable fascism that can apply to today.

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

Quite the lawless killing spree the Trump administration has embarked on in the Caribbean.

www.reuters.com/world/americ...
BOGOTA, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Colombia's President Gustavo Petro said on Wednesday the latest vessel in the Caribbean bombed by the United States was Colombian and had Colombian citizens aboard. "A new war scenario has opened up: the Caribbean," Petro said in a post on X. "The aggression is against all of Latin America and the Caribbean." Sign up here. The White House did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Petro, who is currently in Belgium meeting with European leaders, was replying to a post by U.S. Senator Adam Schiff who said he would vote to block strikes against vessels in the Caribbean along with Tim Kaine. On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced the strike, at least the fourth in recent weeks. At least 21 people have been killed in strikes according to the Trump administration. The attacks have inflamed tensions in the region and Washington called off diplomatic outreach to Venezuela on Monday.

“Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine said Wednesday that he and other members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, in a classified briefing this week, were denied access to the Pentagon’s legal opinion about whether the boat strikes adhered to U.S. law.”

The Trump administration hasn't provided evidence to lawmakers that recent U.S. military strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats were justified.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

When the government shuts down, federal workers still have bills to pay and many are struggling to afford childcare while working without pay.

My Federal Worker Childcare Protection Act would allow parents to be reimbursed for those costs.

Doaa is the wife of Yaqub and is friends with @ssaakkhheerr2.bsky.social whom I’ve shared. She has social media in Gaza that predates the war and sent me a photo of her passport.

Doaa started this fundraiser because since they were displaced it has become very difficult to also support her sister.
