If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

A DOJ lawyer accused Harvard of ‘indifference to antisemitism.’ As a Harvard undergrad he wrote a paper from Hitler’s perspective. - The Boston Globe Michael Velchik once also told a peer that "Mein Kampf" was among his favorite recent reads.

Perfect encapsulation of the Trump administration: The guy suing Harvard for alleged antisemitism is a straight-up Hitler-admiring Nazi.

YouTube video by Knox College Radical Antiquity: Ancient Lessons for Modern Democracy

More self-promotion: a lecture I gave earlier this year about radical forms of democracy in antiquity (and the lessons they might offer us) can now be seen on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iluz... #democracy #anarchism #canpol #antiquity

Yes! Still nailing down the dates and times, but there will be two events in Toronto in early October!

Also, very flattered to be on Indigo Bookstore's list of most anticipated Canadian books!

The Roman Army - Bible Odyssey Roman soldiers embodied the state and served as the de facto face of the government, imbued with the power to punish and assist as they saw fit.

My Bible Odyssey piece, "The Roman Army," was just published. It covers ground laid elsewhere, but it might be interesting those who haven't read much on the topic or helpful in classroom contexts: www.bibleodyssey.org/articles/the...

Didn’t want to believe this was true. It’s true.

This isn't a list of jobs that A.I. can easily replace.

It's a list of jobs that techno fascists don't think are worthwhile or meaningful and that they want to eliminate.

They don't want humans to try to make sense of the world, they want us to believe whatever we're told.
