The trope of the ‘antisemitic Palestinian’ and the bogeyman of ‘post-colonialism’ are being recast as the new ‘Bolshevik Jew’ or ‘communist’ of the McCarthy era – using eerily similar authoritarian tactics. Germany has played a key role in obscuring this right-wing realignment.

It also brings to mind the focus on “women and children” killed by Israel as if Palestinian men were somehow expendable, ungrievable, born to die (always born soldiers, terrorists, freedom fighters—depending the observer’s political persuasions—but never born men with a right to freedom and life)

Happy Sylvester Day! 🪩 On March 11, 1979, the mayor of San Francisco proclaimed the day as “Sylvester Day,” recognizing the pioneering talent of the disco diva. That night Sylvester performed a concert at the SF Opera House. He took one hit of acid & belted out a 2-hour show to a sold out audience

[Daily Dose of Disco #79] Gwen McCrae "Keep The Fire Burning" (1982) Rest In Peace. She is widely considered one of the most original and iconic voices of her time. Here in a sparkling uptempo production by Webster Lewis, this is as good as it gets! youtu.be/h5rMfLJKwIE

Albanese darf nach Kampagne durch einen rechten Bürgermeister weder an der FU Berlin noch im Kühlhaus sprechen. Gestern durchsuchte die Polizei selbst die Redaktionsräume der Zeitung, die kurzfristig eine Alternative angeboten hat. Recht beunruhigende Tage für die Meinungsfreiheit in Berlin

The situation in #Germany remains deeply concerning: Activists, scholars, artists and UN representatives face attacks and smear campaigns for raising their voices. Media and politicians need to act responsibly. #Germany is an EU member state, and as such, we expect it to uphold the rule of law...

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

I’ve been using Hevy to log my workout sessions (paired with apple watch which is insanely convenient) but I was never too much into the social aspect of it. But maybe… it’s fine? At least it’s not Meta. If you’re there: hevy.com/user/hypnomo

The Palestinians and their supporters didn't create our current predicament. It's a convenient, counterproductive deflection to lay the blame at their feet, and given the degree of destruction and suffering they've endured, it's also sadistic.

Today at 12, the Bundestag remembers the victims of the Nazi regime. Afterwards, the CDU/CSU will put forward resolutions for mass deportations, making German citizenship revocable for the first time since 1945, and the abolition of dual citizenship, and plans to pass these with Nazi votes.
