The anti-genocide protests are not made against the Jewish community. They're not even made against Israel per se. They are primarily against *our own government*, and it's complicity in the genocide being carried out by the Israeli state. The home secretary's remarks should be seen in that context.

The first large-scale Nazi book burning was on 6 May 1933, when Magnus Hirschfeld's Institut für Sexualwissenschaft in Berlin was attacked by Nazi students. It would take decades for science to recover the knowledge about trans-affirming healthcare that was destroyed that day.

thank you for this analysis alex!!

vital links between food production and fascism in britain made in @vittles.bsky.social this morning — including labour's renewal of the seasonal worker scheme which could be in violation of intl. human rights law. food sovereignty and land justice now!

a really exciting time for the english land question, as guy shrubsole outlines here, + context and some key cleavages

I would say more broadly that as policy you really shouldn’t allow government officials to accuse people of *terrorism* anonymously.

truly an honour to hear the #AAG2025 honorary geographer gwendolyn warren give an oral history of the context and formation of the detroit geographical expedition and institute (DGEI) today. so many critical lessons for geographers working on political education projects @geographers.bsky.social

New scheme to offer campers unprecedented access to wild spaces across Britain A new partnership will give campers exclusive access to rewilding sites and a chance to join in with conservation efforts

This isn't a 'scheme' it's a business arrangement. Nor is it offering 'unprecedented access': it's just charging people for a campsite with no actual facilities. Why is the @theguardian.com publishing commercial advertising as news?

How the US Courts Rewrote the Rules of International Trade Shaina Potts’s Judicial Territory examines how the American legal system created an economic environment that subordinated the entire world to domestic business interests.

Shaina Potts has written a brilliant & incredibly timely book about law, capital, and American empire.

I tried to do justice to it in this review essay (which hopefully will lead you to the book itself):

Huge win! Government announces plans to open up the Land Registry.

How Should We Respond to Executive Power Abuses Executive Power Watch, a growing resource from the Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom

Executive orders are not laws. The Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom has started Executive Power Watch, which includes breakdowns of Trump's EOs on education, what they do and don't mean ,and how to resist. More at the link: academicfreedomontheline.substack.com/p/how-should...

"That would include any books that mention slavery, the civil rights movement or the treatment of Native Americans... At one elementary school, that has amounted to hundreds of books in several stacks, filling rolling carts."

Anyone who has studied the fascism, violence and pogroms of the post-reconstruction era of America would know that white humiliation / Black progress has long been this country’s ticking time bomb.

The historical parallels are 1920s Oklahoma, not 1930s Germany.

But this history is often buried.
