Regarding the famous “honesty” of fascism, it is actually better when the state expresses shame sufficient so that they are required lie to us .

RT @BMarchetich: It's jarring to read this, and then think back to the over-the-top, hysterical outrage at a Chinese balloon floating into….

I don’t even know what to say anymore “Meanwhile, a prominent Palestinian academic has starved to death amid Israel’s blockade of food and medicine. Before his death, 60-year-old Omar Harb lost 26 members of his family to Israeli attacks…”

It’s funny how the Right likens everything to slavery, except slavery, much the way everything is antisemitism, except actual antisemitism.

RT @IolaElla: Lost a real one 😢.

Judge Burroughs wrote, “A review of the administrative record makes it difficult to conclude anything other than that [the government] used antisemitism as a smokescreen for a targeted, ideologically-motivated assault on this country’s…universities.”

Just heard on KPFA that the biggest line of applause at the Labor Day Platner/Sanders rally in Portland, ME - attended by tens of thousands - was for their promise to cut military aid to Israel. Times really are a’changin.

Ofc Prinz himself was a Zionist but that is not the pt - the catastrophe of Holocaust was so widely understood to be a warning against racism & apartheid it’s clear no other utterance could be imaginable; now it is Prinz’s presence at the March that seems hard to believe 5/5.

Not only is the memory of the Holocaust inverted, even the memory of earlier Holocaust memorialization is turned on its head, used to support racism rather than challenge it. If there were a new “March on WA” the “antisemitism industry” wld undoubtedly call the cops 4/4.

Now, the meaning of the speech is inverted: not only is it in the service of “fighting antisemitism,” antisemitism is understood only as criticism of Israel, in an attempt to suppress the very anti-racist mvts for which the speech was once intended 3/4.

Ofc Prinz deployed his own Holocaust memory in the struggle for racial justice in the US, strongly implying that the fight against anti-Black apartheid was in essence the new fight against fascism 2/4.

On the uses and abuses of American Jewish history: the Zionist astroturf org “StopJewishHate” just posted a clip from Rabbi Joachim Prinz’s famous 1963 speech “The Problem is Silence,” delivered at the March on Washington for Jobs & Freedom, shortly before Dr King spoke 1/4

In all fairness, he is not indifferent to antisemitism

My advance congratulations to the Clinton’s ongoing contributions to The Discourse. It will be bananas.

The Confederacy is still fighting Reconstruction . via @NYTimes.

Regarding Cuomo’s fears the DSA will wreck NYC’s economy, I just read an account of how early 20th C rent strikes crashed a speculative real estate economy & forced capital & the city to build housing more aligned w human need. Ofc some speculators lost their fast-buck fortunes.

RT @JournalSpectre: August is in the books. Thanks to @BL_Balthaser, Ståle Holgersen, and Antoine E. Davis for carrying us through the fir….

RT @claireforqueens: Every week should be a four-day work week. Happy Labor Day to everyone except Andrew Cuomo!

Also somehow writing books is coded as straight and yet reading them is gay.

Just now catching up on “performative male” discourse - we went from “reading books is gay” to “reading books is to manipulate girl brains” and I just want to say we still not far from the “only possible correct masculine posture is to burn them.”.
