USA Today is openly lying in this story. There is not "widespread criticism," there is: * Criticism from a body that Donald Trump controls * Criticism from a far-right body aligned with Donald Trump * Criticism from a political appointee appointed by Donald Trump That's it. That's the "widespread"

I voted against the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security and I was pleased to speak with Ta-Nehisi Coates @VanityFair about the mood surrounding that debate. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Two Democratic members of Congress attacked in three days. Maxwell Frost was assaulted on Saturday, Ilan Omar tonight.

In further evidence of the moral bankruptcy and desiccated humanity of institutional Judaism, here we have a Rabbi making it clear that "Never Again" is "Never Again for Me But to Hell With You." He never learned that "to be a Jew means always being with the oppressed, never with the oppressors.”

M.H. is a U.S. citizen, and each time he asked the ICE agents who unlawfully detained him if they could loosen his handcuffs, the officers squeezed them tighter. We're suing the Trump administration on behalf of everyone brutalized by federal agents’ reckless and illegal tactics in Minneapolis.

Fantastic and so fitting the new Nazi's 👹 @whitehouse-47.bsky.social @france24.com @nytimes.com @derspekter.bsky.social @politico.eu

imagine looking at the democrats and the left in this moment and thinking "ah yes, everything we are seeing here is being meticulously organized and controlled from the top down"

A thing nazis and scammers have always loved doing, a very key part of their strategy, is getting people inextricably tied to their crimes. Pushing them into sharing the guilt. "You're part of this now, you can't turn back at this point" is how they operate. They delight in you being complicit.

Remember that literally every single one of the billionaire freaks behind generative AI has very publicly aligned themselves with trump and his policies Their CEO's are in and out of the oval office for photo ops, they're donating mountains of money to him, they're literally getting military titles

I’m seeking info on immigration lawyers in Boston - a friend of a friend was abducted by ICE in the area.

I have been assuming there was some serious discontent at Target right now, so I'm really only surprised it took this long to come out. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

I can't get over this bit. Jesus tapdancing Christ.

A German soccer federation executive committee member says it's time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

This is a few days late here on social media but we'd like to share the statement of the International Jewish Labor Bund on the American attack on Venezuela

There are a lot of people like this in first and second generation communities and BlueSky is often very uncomfortable acknowledging this.

They will always come for you

Holy shit ICE got the regional AFL endorsing a general strike 😲, never thought I'd see the day minneapolisunions.org/system/files...

"Antifa are the real fascists" they repeat, as they send masked paramilitary forces door to door to terrorize and ethnically cleanse the nation.

Neither Nazi nor the Klan Minneapolis makes its stand

you see this kind of shit all over the South. basically anywhere they needed a highway they somehow found a way to run it right through a Black cemetery. and yes the graveyards are all segregated and largely remain so

A few months ago we published a story about the DMV Bund's solidarity work with the Bethesda African Cemetery Coalition. Well it appears their struggle isn't unique and that the US has a long pattern of destroying and erasing of Black burial grounds. Even the dead aren't safe.

Betar lineage is from fighting Zionist organizations that used terrorism in the service of the future Israeli state. This is monumental

one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

Continues to enrage me that so far zero mainstream journalists have written a story about straight up, zero quibbles, white supremacist Nazi propaganda being posted *daily* by multiple, official, US Government accounts. Just fucking crickets.

Great to see Ford going back to its roots and supporting fascism

Sholem aleykhem khaverim Our latest newsletter spans the the present, the imagination, and the past. First we share Minnesota-based journalist Miri Villerius (insta/@milkyjammers) dispatch from occupied Minneapolis in an exclusive introduction at www.derspekter.org/email/f34657...

We will be sending @scottwiener.bsky.social some questions regarding this topic and look forward to his responses.

Earlier today @scottwiener.bsky.social released this video in response to the outrage he evoked by refusing to acknowledge Israel's genocide in Gaza. This is a weak attempt to evade responsibility for his words and actions smearing anti-genocide protesters as antisemites and terrorist sympathizers.

We have been proud to share some of Andy's work. He's great

Prison guards are flocking to ICE jobs and frankly this makes sense. Those of us who have been anti-prison organizers for decades have been saying that fascism already existed within prisons/jails. Our best teachers for how to survive fascism are incarcerated people.

Daniel Kahn spoke with me about his new record Umru and why he sings in Yiddish. Read @derspekter.bsky.social and subscribe to their newsletter 📨 www.derspekter.org/daniel-kahn-...

Gut Shabbos khaverim. We'll share more from tonight's newsletter tomorrow but wanted to make sure y'all got this tonight.

As he should have

Jewish Congressional candidate @scottwiener.bsky.social refused to answer if Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza then proceeded to offer excuses for his non-answer @ www.instagram.com/p/DTQ_pn8Dj8U. Sen Wiener has refused to face Jewish anti-Zionists on this issue and we challenge him to do so.

That last part pretty much confirms what we assumed. Imperialism is coming to Latin America and our government is powerless to stop fat Satan from doing it.

Stephen Miller, who wants the U.S. to steal Greenland and shake down Latin America, says: ”We live in a world … that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.” That‘s a criminal pretending that a civilized world is impossible.
