new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

Imo, the reason humanities departments are being eliminated is because we outlived our usefulness to capitalists as anti-communist propaganda mills, which we basically functioned as until 1991. Now we just eat up money in an austerity age. Like yeah, of course we are being erradicated now.

This is a much clearer way to say what I was saying. The point isn't do this specific thing or don't do this specific thing it's that many people don't even know they take for granted that there's a separate set of rules for the GOP and that's fine

No. We should just do away with this bullshit system. The congressional map system was set up merely to serve the bourgeoisie. It is functioning exactly as intended, and instead of pretending like the 14th amendment wasn't just a concoction of the ultra rich for the ultra rich, we should burn it all

As with everything else in this country, the problem is that rich people don’t spend every waking moment fearing for their sad, insignificant little lives.

Happy birthday to John Brown, who knew exactly how to handle the south’s “Peculiar Institution”

“neutralization” is the term israel uses when it kills people it clams are terrorists

Really want people to explain to me how "democracy" is mean to fix this when our "democracy" is literally what created this mess... The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house.

We have always been reaching the end of the political process. McCarthyism before this. Any time the ruling class feels backed into a corner, they will do this. This is not new, and this is how our system has functioned for generations. We need to realize that the "process" always cloaked disease.

Bourgeois democracy has never been democracy. They only ever needed dictatorial judges, and that is the way it has always been. This system has always been designed to uphold only ruling class interests. It was never for the masses and it was never truly democratic.

Democrats had every opportunity to keep Trump from taking office and to take control of this government, and to stop fascism. The fact that they didn't makes them complicit. And what we are witnessing now is them repeaing what they have sewn. Don't let them forget this is their fault.

(a) Wasn't the Supreme Court of USA. It was the Virginia Supreme Court. (b) It is proof that the entire concept of a Supreme Court should be thrown out, and we should be annihilating this entire system of governance.

My partner and I are doing a comparative watch-through of the old and new All Creatures Great and Small series. We might be writing some stuff on the blog about it in the coming weeks.

It doesn't "fall for" anything. Our news media is owned by his stooges and is promoting his bullshit as propaganda. It is part of the machine, and it must be summarily destroyed with extreme prejudice.

I agree with this. I wrote a blog post about how the name Παλαιστίνη is used in ancient sources three years ago. Aristotle called the Dead Sea a "λίμνη" that is "ἐν Παλαιστίνῃ." What's more, Ovid called *the Euphrates* "Palaestinae . . . aquae." talesoftimesforgotten.com/2023/10/23/n...

Anyone have any idea what this abbreviation "SUP" is referring to?

right I'm gonna try and crowdsource something on this platform for the first time: what are some examples of conservative Christians painting their opponents as Marcionites or Gnostics who reject the "Old Testament"?

That moment when you get bored and watch the first two Brendan Fraser Mummy movies back to back, and now you decide to buy a grammar of ancient Egyptian because the hyperfixation told you that the only path to happiness is through Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Yesterday the NYPD set up barricades restricting access to six city blocks on the Upper East Side to keep protesters away from a land sale advertising property in an illegally annexed part of the West Bank. The night ended with the SRG in the street and pepper spray in the air.

Paula Fredriksen is wrong in my opinion. Jesus would absolutely have been considered "Palestinian" in the first century by his gentilic contemporaries. Here is the evidence, from all over the Greco-Roman world. I might write a whole paper on this at some point... open.substack.com/pub/marxistl...

Israel still hasn't stopped genociding Gaza

Happy birthday Karl Marx!

18 fucking years is still too long. Abolish SCOTUS.

This. Kamala Harris lost because she and Biden abetted genocide, gaslit the masses about the economy, scolded Arab voters for being reticent, helped lead a mass campaign of censorship and police-state brutality against protesters, etc. She lost because she never met the needs of the masses.

You are in excellent company. Ofc Palaistinē was the standard exonym in Greek during this period. @chancebonar.bsky.social has put together some key evidence, and on the deep history of the term back through the LBA there is this in my f/c history.

Oh look, yet again watching Dems join up with fascists. Almost like they just as unethical...

Important observation by Jack on how "anti-Christian bias" report relies on conservative ESV Bible. I recently unpacked (with @profsamperry.bsky.social) problems with ESV since it's also translation Hegseth prefers (well, along with Revised Tarantino Version): dogma.wordandway.org/pete-hegseth...

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

Just published a new blog about the legacy of Archibald Robertson, a British Marxist and one of the most influential Marxists to ever write on the history of Christianity. open.substack.com/pub/marxistl...

I have said it before I will say it again. Democrats would sooner side with fascists than become progressive. They *are* the enemy. Stop acting like centrists are your friends and remember what the "centrists" did to put Hitler in power. They will do so again.

An important update: Texas courts created such an unprecedented situation in an emergency filing last night, no one knows who is in charge of InfoWars, and therefore no one can pay rent. Since no one controls these assets right now, it does appear InfoWars will shut down tonight at midnight.

A reminder that Slotkin was a CIA employee, whose work contributed to war crimes, human rights violations, and racism worldwide. Like she is an ontologically evil fascist. And this is just her being nakedly sinophobic.

In breaking news, here are all the politicians associated with a podunk Twitch streamer. Also breaking news today: rain is wet.

I published previously lost evidence of the old "sons of god" reading of Deut. 32:8d existing in the Latin west into the middle ages. I've written over 30 peer reviewed articles, the first book on the authenticity of Philemon, and have a new book on Marxism-Leninism and Jesus studies on the way.

HEY HO OHIO (Esp Fayette, Gallia, Highland, Hocking, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Vinton +SW Perry counties:) ELECTION DAY IS MAY 5 I've known @revterrywilliams.bsky.social for ages and he's a kind, incredible human who puts himself on the line for those at risk. 1000/10 would vote for him.

Palestine vs Israel: who was there first? To sum up 1000 years of inscriptional evidence the answer is 'yes.' Details in my forthcoming introductory history of ancient Israel, Judah, and Palestine linked below.

But yes, libs, I was hyperbolic for comparing these people to Nazis when they are literally doing what the Nazis did. Any democrat or other politician who works with GOP is simply a fascist collaborator. No ifs, no ands, no buts. They simply are the enemy.

Ever wonder when Marxists really started paying attention to early Christianity and the historical Jesus? The answer will surprise you because it is before even Engels wrote on the subject. Here is a bibliography of pre-OctRev Marxist publications on the subject. open.substack.com/pub/marxistl...

It isn't busted. This is how it was always intended to work. Militarized police state is the only way capitalism functions. We all just conveniently ignore how bad things were when capitalism first emerged to act like this isn't how it has always been.

It always comes back to economics and class. But even when that stares everyone in the face, I still have colleagues who will call me a "class reductionist"...

You are a repugnant fascist, a traitor to the people.

Just a few years ago it was "critical race theory" (another thing that conservatives can't define). These bigoted fucks just steal a word, change its meaning to "bad," and win elections with IdPol.

Because schools are run by the capitalist class, which also operates our justice system and also the AI companies which need profit. That's why the schools are jumping on the AI bandwagon in the first place. I doubt anyone will be on the hook, meaningfully, in hellscape masquerading as a "society."

required viewing, particularly for folks who think pushing AI onto students is a good idea.
