remember when Elon Musk straight up performed a Nazi salute, twice, on stage, and the NYT was like "hmm, huh, what can this mean, who can say"

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.”

insane moment in world history right here

Look at this video: a *huge* crowd of Vermonters swaying alongside Mohsen right after he was freed, singing "We Shall Overcome"

Signs reading "Hands off our students" & "free speech" are peppered in between large Palestine flags

Never thought we'd do this but...

republicans are disappearing people under the guise of fighting antisemitism and can’t even pretend to give a fuck when a jewish governor’s house gets firebombed on passover

The attack on Josh Shapiro and his family during the first night of Passover is chilling, tbh. Maybe it has nothing to do with them being Jewish. But we don’t know that right now. The historical echoes are bad, either way.

Karpas ♥︎ See the family friendly supplement for an alternative offering of Karpas. "If the olive tree remembered its planter, its oil would become tears." Mahmoud Darwish Tonight, we dip food in salt water not once, but twice. This is meant to represent the tears of the enslaved - then and now — and this is meant to transport us to times and places when we could taste the salt of those tears on our own lips. Indeed, there is much to weep about. In our shared salt water, we think of the tears of generations of Palestinians whose hopes and dreams have been crushed by the Occupation. We think of the tears of the hundreds of thousands who lost relatives in the Israeli assault on Gaza. We imagine the tears that were not: of whole families that died together under a single bomb, with no one to mourn them. And we taste the tears of the Israeli hostages and their families who have been torn apart. When we dip, may we call to mind our hopes and our aspirations for this planet and for ourselves.

Freedom For All Seder (2024/5784)

By celebrating Passover together in a unified, explicitly liberatory way, we say to the world that we stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people because of our Judaism, not in spite of it.

- Rumeysa Öztürk has never been charged with a crime.
- Mahmoud Khalil has never been charged with a crime.
- Momodou Taal has never been charged with a crime.
- Badar Khan Suri has never been charged with a crime.

Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.

2000+ Jewish professors, staff, and students circulating a letter on Trump-Vance's arrest of Mahmoud Khalil: "We hold various views…But we are united in denouncing…anyone who invokes our name—and cynical claims of antisemitism—to harass, expel, arrest, or deport members of our campus communities."

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

„Mahmoud is not safe … everyone who helped fashion a moral panic around students fighting to stop the outright annihilation of Palestinians in Gaza bears moral responsibility for that fact. They helped produce and empower a narrative that made it a crime simply to be Palestinian in this country.“

During the campaign Trump already said this about Schumer, that he was a “bad Jew and a Palestinian.” That utterance was not incoherent, it was a portal into this new reality he was creating

I spent more than a year working on this SEP entry on ideology, and I actually think it is some of the best work I've ever done.

There are three parts of it that I am especially happy with:

The Trump administration cancels $400 million in grants and contracts to Columbia University.

They adopted a posture of total submission and it bought them precisely nothing. A lesson for the Trump era www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

Friends & Fellow Colleagues: I am very excited to release the latest episode of The Young Idealist Series. A Special Book Presentation featuring Dr. Owen Ware (U of T). on his new book: Return of the Gods: Mythology in Romantic Philosophy & Literature.

The genre of "successful academics tell people how much they shouldn't follow their lead" enrages me more than most other genres

The Next Episode of #TheYoungIdealist Series will be an extra special episode featuring a review of Dr. Owen Ware's new book from Oxford University Press, "Return of the Gods: Mythology in Romantic Philosophy & Literature." This is an episode you won't want to miss.

No joke probably the hardest I’ve worked on translating & editing anything so far (been at this since November) & these fragments have some of the most brutal & lucid lines Horkheimer ever writes. Hopefully will have a PDF out through CTWG soon!

The ADL creating a "socially responsible investment firm," ostensibly to fight antisemitism, and then telling you to invest in Tesla, is almost a parody of the complete equation of "antisemitism" with "anti-Israel" sentiment that the ADL has adopted.

I Just finished recording a new episode of The Young Idealist Series with Dr. Owen Ware on his new book titled "Return of the Gods: Mythology in Romantic Philosophy & Literature & it was a fantastic experience.
