Trump’s Foreign Policy Isn’t the Problem It reflects, like a funhouse mirror, a twisted image of U.S. imperialism.

I wrote this in 2018 and I stand by it now. Trump is America. Just out loud. www.bostonreview.net/articles/jea...

Amazed and touched that my essay, "Blood Ties,” was included in this lineup with such fantastic company.

Move the setting from D.C. to Leopoldstadt, replace "migrants and refugees" with Jews and communists, and EVERYTHING about this reads like a cribbed passage from Mein Kampf.

History will not look kindly on either the current Democratic leadership or university administrators. The word is "appeasement." Just say it.

Lesson learned. The mild suggestion that Trump's anti-DEI edicts are an excuse for liberal arts colleges and universities to hire more mediocre white men DOES NOT go down well with the mediocre white men on X!!! 😀

“Every mainstream narrative about American politics—Democratic and Republican, liberal and reactionary—reaffirms the singularity of American exceptionalism.” @morefius.bsky.social

“It would be worthwhile to study clinically, in detail, the steps taken by Hitler & Hitlerism & to reveal to the very distinguished, very humanistic, very Christian bourgeois of the twentieth century that without his being aware of it, he has a Hitler inside him.” —Aimé Césaire @morefius.bsky.social

Blood Ties - Boston Review Trump’s “invasion” narrative and the real story of pain in America.

In one fell stroke, the Clintons transformed health care reform into the third rail of American politics and buttressed the relentless pursuit of geopolitical primacy.

@morefius.bsky.social on the bipartisan failures that have led to this dire moment:

Thanks Craig.

The Pinsker Centre is HORRIFIED that a small group of students occupied a building - and were quickly removed - while 100% of universities in Gaza have been destroyed by bombs that Oxford supports with its investments. Save your outrage for Oxford and the IDF and GET SOME MORAL PERSPECTIVE!!!

Late to blue sky and finding I just don’t have the energy for this any more. Could someone just export my completely useless 6,000 followers from X for me? I’m too old and not entrepreneurial enough to be a proper intellectual in 2025…..!!!

True story!

@morefius.bsky.social on Trump’s invasion narrative, the opioid epidemic, U.S. exceptionalism, and the real story of pain in America:

A tiny silver lining on a grim horizon.
