I wrote this long-read confronting the claim that anti-Zionism is antisemitic. Contrary to what some voices say, there has been a thread of antisemitism that has traced through the entire history of Zionism itself. spectrejournal.com/the-antisemi...

HT @emmcg.bsky.social for this tracker of all ongoing legal actions against Trump admin. It's a lot. I'm not optimistic the courts can stop most of it. Not to mention the ongoing damage while we wait for these processes to unfold. www.justsecurity.org/107087/track...

I share this article I wrote a few years back every Tu B'shvat about the complex layers of ecology. While it's the New Year for the trees, that effort has also been used to promote the planting of trees in Israel, changing the face of historic Palestine. maiseh-review.ghost.io/tu-bshevat-a....

Watching the GOP and their rich backers attack NLRA rights leads me to believe they don’t realize exactly what those laws were designed to stop. Destroy labor peace and it will just be replaced with open class war.

Even the standard, formerly "legal" forms of resistance on the liberal left will now have their institutional legitimacy stripped from them. There is no benefit to playing by the rules of politics because they have stripped all accountability. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

We are seeing it at the same time that race science returns to the public messaging of the mainstream right. From the growth of Quillette to constant discussions of IQ to the normalization of Steve Sailer in mainstream GOP spaces, they feel less inclination to hide their eliminationist ideas.

Big fan of the QAA podcast and @annieknk.bsky.social's episodes in particular so super chuffed to be cited in this episode 😊 Obviously, the flipside is that when my work is cited, it means things are not going well... on.soundcloud.com/EmJR9PXP7Vdq...

New from me: The ADL claims to speak for Jews, but it instead speaks for a particularly affluent, assimilated Jewish community who has always seen working class Jewish radicals as their enemy. They are the allies of the powerful, not Jews. maiseh-review.ghost.io/the-adl-does...

With the help of techno-fascist billionaires - Trump has returned to power. Antifascists can inform emerging struggles + help communities mobilize in defense as far-Right groups test the waters in the new terrain. Check out our roundup here of #ThisWeekInFascism. itsgoingdown.org/this-week-in...

lol Max Blumenthal is a chud and I’ve said that probably a hundred times. You would have to have zero sense of antifascism to think I would give Blumenthal “the benefit of the doubt.” He is a genocide and far-right apologist and as much of an enemy as anyone

In a deep dive on the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, @shaneburley.bsky.social shows how clashes between the liberal Zionist school and its heavily anti-Zionist student body encapsulate a broader fight over the Jewish future.

Paul Gottfried is an intellectual behind much of today's far right movement. As expected, he's not just fascist, but he's also fully invested in the white ethno-state. Great article peeking into the nuances behind a very complicated set of beliefs (anarchy, fascism, racism, etc.) Fascinating.
