Dana and Elia don't like the fact that we're #Mamdani's age. We also talked about his victory means. Out wherever you listen to podcasts @danaelkurd.bsky.social @ayoub.bsky.social

It's out! I had a fun time recording this with @ayoub.bsky.social On what mamdani means for arab and muslim Americans of a certain age (i.e. me) and what we can learn from the campaign about palestine, activism, etc etc podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/2...

The interview is full of sharp analysis and clear insights for resistance in our current moment as well as building the movements that will help bring forth the world we all deserve. Give it a read, and make sure to subscribe to @thefirethesetimes.com wherever you get your podcasts.

Caught up on episodes #193 and #194 of the @thefirethesetimes.com podcast with Amos Goldberg on Gaza, the Holocaust, Holocaust studies and genocide studies and this whole, oftentimes very silly, debate — really informative for those who care thefirethesetimes.com/2025/05/25/i...

The Gaza famine and genocide cannot become the new normal. The latest episode of The Fire These Times is now available everywhere. With @ayoub.bsky.social @leilashami.bsky.social @danielvoskoboynik.bsky.social @essssraaa.bsky.social & @karena1.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/135258...

loved this conversation and so appreciate the space for independent thought @thefirethesetimes.com has created

20 years ago today, the Assad regime assassinated Samir Kassir in Beirut. On this special ep published with @thefirethesetimes.com, Ziad Majed, his friend and comrade, joins us to talk about his legacy - and how much has changed since. On all podcast apps and: www.patreon.com/posts/130502...

In case I've only recommended this podcast 999 times:

I edited this episode. It's really powerful. Hearing Maram speak at length about her daily life in Gaza under Israeli siege and bombardment is just ... I don't know how to communicate how privileged we are to hear the stories of someone resisting genocide. We need to listen, we need to do more.

We spoke to Gaza journalist Maram Humaid about the many layers of Israel's genocide @thefirethesetimes.com. There was even an Israeli airstrike nearby during our recording. The full episode is available for free here www.patreon.com/posts/tftt-1... @fromtheperiphery.com

Amos Goldberg is an Israeli historian of the Holocaust who called Israel's war on Gaza a genocide. He joined @ayoub.bsky.social to talk about the ways 'intent' is used to mislead the public, and whether the field of Holocaust and Genocide Studies is in crisis. www.patreon.com/posts/tftt-1... 🧵

For @thefirethesetimes.com @justinsalhani.bsky.social and I spoke about what it’s like to be the children of the children of war. Our parents were active in the 1975-90 Lebanon wars - his father, Claude Salhani, as a photojournalist and my parents with the Red Cross www.patreon.com/posts/tftt-1...

In this wonderful conversation with @mollycrabapple.bsky.social, @ayoub.bsky.social mentions his work looking into the "bloodless civil war" between Yiddish and Hebrew and we are incredibly excited to be publishing it next week.

Bella conversazione sulla riscoperta della tradizione del Bund - l'unione dei lavoratori ebrei - e cosa possa significare per l'oggi l'intraducibile parola yiddish "Doikayt".

Really looking forward to learning more about this history:

Cited this in my final lecture ❤️

Seriously, you probably need to listen to this, but it just doesn’t seem like a thing that you need to listen to. I think you should trust me. Just listen.

post-🎧 reflections: the Bund & the concept of "Hereness" mirrors the practice of mutual aid in that both ask of us to start w. where we are & what we have. both ask of us to stop looking outward for solutions & instead build & invest in our current geographical temporality. @essssraaa.bsky.social

I'm so excited for this book...

Listened all the way through on a long long walk and enjoyed every second.

Dana El Kurd @danaelkurd.bsky.social is joined by @mpaarlberg.bsky.social to talk about El Salvador’s ‘state of exception’ under Nayib Bukele, how Trump sees that as a model, the conditions of prisons, and what this all means. Available on all podcast apps + Patreon www.patreon.com/posts/tftt-1...

The rant about tech bros is at the end so you have to listen to the whole thing ok? It's the law DO NOT CHEAT In all seriousness this was a fun one with the great @mollycrabapple.bsky.social and I appreciated the excuse to talk about the research I did a century ago. Bundist history is cool y'all

I loved talking anti Zionist Jewish history with my old friend @ayoub.bsky.social

10 years ago I wrote my MA dissertation on the politics of Yiddish and Hebrew. Ever since I've been looking for the opportunity to talk about Doikayt to a broader audience - here it is!

The Fire These Times è un podcast veramente interessante in inglese, fatto da persone provenienti da situazioni in lotta contro tutti gli imperialismi.

Many people just see the Sudan conflict as between different warlords, dictators and the military. This is an important interview which demonstrates how the most widespread force in Sudan is actually the revolutionary mutual aid committees.

Sudanese writer Eiad Hucham joins Elia Ayoub @ayoub.bsky.social to talk about Husham's article on revolutionary aid in #Sudan for @newint.bsky.social The article: newint.org/resistance/2... The episode is available on all podcast apps and in open access on Patreon www.patreon.com/posts/126803...

First one of these happening tonight, 6pm UK time. We'll watch 'A Feeling Greater Than Love' which reveals a lost history of class war and labour movements in Lebanon in the 1970s. Join for the screening and discussion: www.patreon.com/posts/127063...

TFTT is slowly fixing older episodes to make them accessible (clearer audio, new description etc). This will take them, but I will use this thread to post the updated Patreon links, which are all public. Public feeds + Website will also be updated (slowly)

If you care about the Palestinian struggle and you also want to move beyond ignorant campism, and also understand how nationalism can be counterproductive I recommend these discussions by @thefirethesetimes.com about what's lacking in the analysis and ways to move forward.

Doikayt Now! @mollycrabapple.bsky.social joins @ayoub.bsky.social to talk about the Bund and how their concept of ‘Hereness’ can help us build a better world than the hellscape being proposed by techno-dystopianism and end-time fascism. @fromtheperiphery.com More info below

Apropos of nothing but we did an episode of @thefirethesetimes.com with @jamesstout.bsky.social on the other 1936 Olympics - the anti-authoritarian ones - in case we feel like there are parallels we can learn from or something thefirethesetimes.com/2024/08/05/t... @fromtheperiphery.com

Jenni is awesome! So glad you had her on.

The US sent detainees to El Salvador, ignoring a court order and exposing the detainees to serious violations. Last year @danaelkurd.bsky.social interviewed @mpaarlberg.bsky.social on El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, and how his gov is implicated in gang violence. thefirethesetimes.com/2024/08/02/e...
