FASCISM

New ep: Trump’s intense police, ICE, military repression w/ Alberto Toscano and @stschrader1.bsky.social. What does this reveal about MAGA’s fascist authoritarian project—and about the illiberalism immanent in carceral and imperialist state? FIRST in 2-part series www.thedigradio.com/podcast/fasc...

In den nächsten zwei Semestern organisieren wir diese interdisziplinäre Vorlesungsreihe "Faschisierung – analytische Perspektiven, Schauplätze, Gegenstrategien". Jede Vorlesung an einer anderen Uni und hybrid! Ich spreche am 20.1. am @zfk-mr.bsky.social Marburg. krisol-wissenschaft.org/fascisation

Proofs arrived ✨

Anyone who speaks of 'legitimate concerns' is in cohorts with this pack of braindead fascists, its as simple as that.

and the owners of Tanbreez (Greenland) are flirting with Trump/Lockheed Martin et al., to supply the US defence industry with heavy rare earths like Gallium that China has banned as export. The story of how clean energy morphs into militarism

Fascism

Wie die Hungersnot in Bengalen dank Bilder bekämpft wurde und was Adorno über die soziale Kälte zu sagen hat, die von uns angesichts Kinderfotos aus Gaza eingefordert wird, in meiner neuen Kolumne in @ndaktuell.bsky.social

I received the first ~and very generous~ blurb for my book, a strange experience I will not get used to

Welche Architektur ist emblematisch für den Neoliberalismus? Der Historiker Christian Welzbacher zeigt, welche Räume in einer Gesellschaft entstehen, die nicht nur Elend hervorbringt, sondern dieses Elend auch noch profitabel macht.

very happy to see this announced in reality, and really looking forwards... save the date, register and join us in October What Is Infrastructural Critique? A conference in celebration of the life and work of Marina Vishmidt @eflux.bsky.social

finally arrived at the point of my covid where i am awake for 70% of the day. hurray

<<When We Are All Enemies of the State>> A recently discovered 1974 speech by Stuart Hall on Walter Rodney—and why fascists fear ideas.

In Germany, I developed a slight obsession with political stickers – and especially the unhinged pro-Israel stickers from the German left's creepy philosemitic neocons, the "anti-Germans" (the most German Germans). For @thediasporist.bsky.social, I wrote up some of the wildest examples

I am absolutely DISGUSTED & HORRIFIED that someone can present on 'killjoys' at an event with an IDF office & a speaker from the IDF. Shame on you! Katharina Klappheck GET THAT WORD OUT OF YOUR PAPER & THIS EVENT! White supremacy = this. Genocide = this. NO to this! www.hsu-hh.de/ztb/tagungsp...

What is to be expected from the country that let Annalena Baerbock get away with her "Feminist" (Genocidal) Foreign Policy and then awarded her with a top UN job? Furthermore, where is the response/resistance from German feminists in academia to this event and, more broadly, to the militarization?

Clear from day one, that if left unchecked, this Israeli government will not stop at anything

Absurd, bonkers and racist go hand in hand

The Columbia settlement is an “astonishing transfer of autonomy and authority to . . . an administration whose disdain for the values of the academy is demonstrated anew every day.” New @knightcolumbia.org analysis of the Columbia settlement, just published. knightcolumbia.org/blog/what-th...

I must say, Austria is an absolute shit-show, made up of a majority never-denazified beneficiary-society, which to this day persecutes anti-fascists at memorials for Nazi atrocities, and then bits of the media blames them for not being bourgeois enough… incredible

They are saying very clearly what they intend to do.

"paves the way for people who spend their entire lives in the United States to be deported to countries in which they’ve never stepped foot, or to be condemned to the limbo of statelessness"

This history, of „putting Palestinians on a diet“ since 2006, here published in the @theguardian.com is basically absent from the German speaking discourse and forms part of the background and context for today’s starvation www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Eine Hungersnot trifft immer zuerst die Schwächsten, also kranke Kinder. Die Welt muss JETZT hinsehen, nicht erst wenn ein Massensterben beginnt. Auch das Cover des Stern steht nun im Zentrum einer unsäglichen Debatte. Mein Gastbeitrag dazu aus der heutigen FAZ ohne Paywall:

"By celebrating illegibility and artistic survival under oppressive systems, inarticulation can pose as encryption."

People, such as Huch, are (unconsciously?) aping old forms of conspiracy theories and read like old N*zis, who famously subjugated and abused humans with disabilities - including killing them - justifying their actions with bogus arguments based on IQ, smartness, etc.

Kulturstaatsminister Weimer hat angekündigt, Kolonialismus nicht in das Gedenkstättenkonzept des Bundes aufzunehmen, da es den Holocaust relativiere. Das ist falsch und erfüllt AfD-Positionen. Darüber uvm habe ich mit den DLF gesprochen. 🎤👇 www.deutschlandfunk.de/erinnerungsp...

Starting my second book of the holiday 🐚 so far

Taner Akçam, Marianne Hirsch, and I introduce the Genocide and Holocaust Studies Crisis Network and call for immediate concrete measures to prevent further atrocity crimes and to protect civilians in Gaza.

Just looked a few things up on X and it truly became an open cesspit of racism, bigotry and misogyny

I managed to grow these cute aubergines ✨

everyday, we scroll through timelines of evidence

If you need something today to help you think through resistance within, against & beyond the state in this moment & to inspire you to move from the fierce fire of love to hurl visions & practices of liberation into the present & future listen to Paula X Rojas here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ud7...

This report shows capitalist so-called humanitarianism literally planning ethnic cleansing

If a sitting president can openly muse about arresting and disappearing someone who is likely to become mayor of the country's largest city, while also getting the funding for a massive secret police, it'd be hard to find sufficient evidence to qualify that country as a democracy.

Congratulations to Zohran Mamdani! So hard to believe good news is still possible... And you can sign our letter here: docs.google.com/forms/d/1cwM...

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

If only this didn’t exist

Austrian fascism experts not describing things by their names, because they are not allowed to use certain words... ok

As I've been saying www.readtpa.com/p/the-grok-w...

all i want is a planetary peace movement

🪫 Amidst the intensifying class wars, imperialist wars, proxy wars, and genocide, I wrote about the work of Maryam Jafri which attempts to address the drive to suicidality and collapse animating our current conjuncture, by looking to the material, lithium.

I’d go even further (and last book did), claiming that German Holocaust memory has never been about “Holocaust guilt” (and claiming it ever was that was actually just an Anglo observation). The whole point of Holocaust memory was to rearticulate German identity. It began as a left-wing process, but
