Today, we remember the radical abolitionist, John Brown, on the anniversary of his 1859 execution. May his dedication to equality and radical praxis never be forgotten! #history #johnbrown #civilwar #BLM www.dustinjbyrd.org

Yes, who is more likely to regard the sacrifice of people as abhorrent than those who follow a religion centered on celebrating the sacrifice of a person?

No one will stop me from defending our freedoms.

Cover is red, with title "On Christian Nationalism: Critical and Theological Perspectives," ed. David M. Gides and Joan Braune, Routledge Studies in Fascism and the Far Right. Image in center is a black and white image from a statue. One figure's hands are shown holding a cross, and the other figure's hand is resting on the hilt of a sword.

So happy that "On Christian Nationalism: Critical and Theological Perspectives" is now out in print! With 19 contributors, the book addresses definitions of CN; historical development; intersections with racism, sexism, antisemitism, and Islamophobia; and practical ways to address the problem.

YouTube video by Rudolf J. Siebert Audio-Visual Archive Resisting Fascism: Father Alfred Delp

Here is one of my latest discourses with the critical theorist, Rudolf J. Siebert, who hails from Frankfurt, #Germany. Next week, we will record another video on the democratic versus the authoritarian personality. #philosophy #criticaltheory #sociology #psychoanalysis youtu.be/y1qzX-M3wMM?...

I’ve profited a lot from listening to Konstantin’s talks. He’s a blessing and a truly prophetic voice. It’s shameful the US is not offering him and his family asylum and that google demonetized him. I hope he soon gets to return to a Putinless free Russia.

It was an honor to contribute a chapter. Well done, Joan! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Stephen Miller would like to engage in sippenhaftung, just like the Nazis. How not surprising.

🚨 🦅 Breaking Military News:

The display of this plaque at West Point, which says exactly what six Democratic veterans posted about our military service members' oaths to our Constitution and law not to any leader, is also, according to Trump, "punishable by DEATH!"

Today, we remembers the Polish-British sociologist and philosopher, Zygmunt Bauman, on his 100 year birthday. May he never be forgotten. #philosophy #sociology #ZygmuntBauman #academia #modernity #fear #academicchatter #academia www.dustinjbyrd.org

UO Students to The Zekelman Holocaust Center On Thursday, November 13th, 2025, I was able to take the students in my “Religion and Philosophy in the Third Reich” course at The University of Olivet to The Zekelman Holocaust Center …

I had the wonderful opportunity to take my class, “Religion and #Philosophy in the Third Reich,” to The Zekelman Holocaust Center in Farmington Hills, MI, this past week. Always disturbing, it was eye opening for students. #Holocaust #Genicide #Nazism #fascism dustinjbyrd.org/2025/11/15/u...

Out at the end of November: I have a chapter in it entitled, “Messianic Ruscism: Christian Nationalism and the lure of Putin’s Russkii Mir,” about how American Christian Nationalists look to #Russia as a template for what they’d like to do in the US. #Christianity #putin #MAGA www.dustinjbyrd.org

Two lessons from this morning’s news: 1) Democrats are choke artists, as always; 2) Republicans will stop at nothing to screw over the working class and the poor while protecting white collar criminals. #democrats #republicans #senate #shutdown #ACA #Obamacare #SNAP #politics #MikeJohnson #Trump

Today, Ekpyrosis Press remembers the victims of the 1938 Kristallnacht attack on the Jews of Germany by the Nazis. Resistance to all forms of bigotry must always be the way of civilization. #kristallnacht #fascism #nazism #politics #antisemitism #resistance #antifascism #WWII

Was the $40 billion sent to #Argentina actually for Argentina, or was it for #Trump for when he flees there? It is out of character for him not to somehow benefit from such a move. And let’s be honest, he would flee (on his own Qatari jet) before the indictments start piling up again.

Trump has spent his entire life stiffing people he owes money to; there is no surprise he’s trying to stiff the American people of their SNAP benefits. #SNAP #Snapbenefits #Trump #MAGA #GOP #SupremeCourt #politics #money

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.
