Antisemitism in its late 19th century nationalist formulation is not only a hatred of Jews, but a particular belief about rootless internationalists and migration as a threat to the stability of hard national borders and identities. It can thus be structurally appealing to Jewish nationalists, too.

These age breakdowns are crazy, all you can conclude is a very divided country and that unlike the UK, it’s not the old people who are the biggest racists

A turnout of 83% in German elections is something we can only dream of in the UK. It’s nearly 25% more than the last uk general election. We should be really worried about that level of disengagement

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

You are witnessing the normalization of fascism right in your face. You are seeing the media’s “unbiasedness” sanitize fascism by giving these people the benefit of the doubt. These are not “Nazi-like”, these are Nazis. Beware the rhinoceros, before it’s too late.

So they haven't "banned the word man" at all then. It isn't even like this is new. It's been fairly standard for years to say things like "tradesperson". Gender neutral language isn't just perfectly normal already, it makes more sense for most things. The outrage machine is reaching at this point.

A story about nothing where someone interviews the most eccentric people they can find in King’s Cross. Glad this journalist has a job.

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

I keep thinking about the coldness of people who refuse to admit even an ounce of regret for a child being killed, because of their nationality. It doesn’t matter whether it’s antisemitism or not, it’s bad enough to me that you’re being cold heartless fuckers

Do we think Liz Truss and Nigel Farage will be interrogated about sharing a stage with this sort of thing when they get back to the UK?

So. Many. Shitheads. In the replies to this. It is not "standing with Palestine" to attack a Jewish person mourning dead Israeli civilians, any more than it's "standing against antisemitism" to excuse the Netanyahu government's genocidal actions against Palestinians.

I had the honor of speaking with the razor sharp Julia Wong about Enemy Feminisms, & she really gets it. Writers are not always so lucky to receive such care in journalism. Thank you Julia for putting so much thought into this offering which frames EF rightly as an antifascist strategy intervention

was really struck recently talking to a friend who spent six months in that corner of the world working and talking to people about their immediate future, he said he was struck by the extent to which all these countries were essentially convinced Russia would be nibbling on them by around 2027

Labour under Attlee, with far greater economic challenges than today, had boldness, vision & a compelling story. Starmer’s Labour fails on all 3 counts, which amounts to laying out a welcome mat to Farage. On eve of publication of #AnotherEngland in paperback, I write for @prospectmagazine.co.uk👇

Different language, same outcome. As with Conservatives, Labour continue the same path of attacking the judiciary for upholding the laws the government would like to break to prevent people reaching safety. #r4today www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
