Shout out also to her many years of work for the International Workers Order and the Emma Lazarus Clubs! New book of essays on IWO coming out soon.

i feel it is worth pointing out that Christians United For Israel, a single maniacal christian zionist organization, has more members than there are jews in the united states

We love Wanczyk!

I think I have come across other people doing this.

Yes, funnily enough, I have noticed this too...

Sam Kassow was just saying that Emanuel Ringelblum was in Switzerland at a Labor Zionist conf when the war broke out, but he chose to go back to Poland. Bc his community needed leaders. (Also bc he couldn't get his family out.) So we got the Oyneg Shabes archive and the Ringelblums were murdered.

Also Max W. wrote "Hitler's Professors" in 1946.

Social Security Is Not a Ponzi Scheme - Boston Review Today’s attacks are just the latest form of backlash to the New Deal.

To FDR, the best way to combat despotism was simple: a popular politics of public goods, social insurance, and life-saving regulation. The kind of public goods that only government can provide are not only morally just and enriching, but essential in the “war for the survival of democracy.”

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

I want us to study the history of resistance to slave catchers right now. I want us to study how slave catchers worked, how they were sanctioned, who paid them, and why they did what they did, right now. I want us to study the hyperlocal and networked ways slave catchers were impeded. Right now.

“What the woman who labors wants is the right to live, not simply exist — the right to life as the rich woman has the right to life, and the sun and music and art,” argued Schneiderman in 1912. “The worker must have bread, but she must have roses, too.”

Watch Illinois Governor JB Pritzker Reject the Politics of Trans Abandonment As some Democrats retreat, Pritzker doubles down on protecting the most vulnerable.

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

"The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Costco emerges as the big winner following Target’s DEI pullback—while Target experienced a decline of nearly 5 million shopping trips in the four weeks ending Feb. 9, Costco saw an increase of approximately 7.7 million visits during the same period.

I’m gonna be a broken record about this. They are *using Jews as a tool to advance their fascist agenda*

This has nothing to do with Jews. This has nothing to do with antisemitism.

We do not consent this. We want no part of this.

Chuck Schumer would rather sell books about fighting antisemitism than fight the antisemites who are dismantling liberal democracy, which is the only thing that protects us as Jews in the diaspora.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

Hospitals and schools should have done the thing we were told they would do: upgrade their systems and implement improvements to protect against COVID and other hazards. Instead govts and health regions decided to break our entire understanding of disease being bad, so that we’d accept it

Jewish groups targeted Columbia grad Mahmoud Khalil — then ICE arrested him Pro-Israel Jewish groups targeted Mahmoud Khalil, a recent graduate of Columbia University, days before ICE agents arrested him.

As a Jewish person it is so uniquely painful to exist in a world where Jews are the ones making lists of people for the government to target.

The teens I saw in 2020 were getting together at night and having big parties. My first grader now has to deal with the fallout of the never ending pandemic, with half the class out sick at any given point, their immune systems scarred by having had covid at least 2x.

I would like very much to see more drowning out of names with festive noisemakers as part of our daily political landscape.

Happy International Women's Day! Your favorite suffragist was probably queer. Women's history is queer history. #IWD

Judith Butler, philosopher: ‘If you sacrifice a minority like trans people, you are operating within a fascist logic’ A leading figure in feminism and gender studies, the thinker welcomes EL PAÍS in California after being voted one of the most influential minds in the world

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

getting into the leo frank conspiracy theory is hardcore nazi shit. hardcore. the most hardcore. this woman has no place in public life

If you don't understand this: Please read Cedric Robinson's Racial Capitalism body of work. Learn how capitalism is intertwined with white supremacy. You cannot talk about capitalism without talking about racism, white supremacy & anti-blackness.
