it has been wild to me over the past few years to see zionist jews OF ALL PEOPLE saying that it's only logical and reasonable for a people displaced from their homeland should sever their cultural and political connection from it

Mnangagwa doesn’t have the same energy for lip service to Palestine as Mugabe’s performances of revolutionary discourse. This diplomatic move would effectively be full normalization. No more state investment in the patriotic histories of struggle (though compensating whites would’ve told you that).

Superficially, the African Union has called for an end to normalization with and prosecution of Israel because of its genocidal violence in Gaza and withdrew observer status AT THE SAME TIME that too many of these states maintain strategic relations with Israel www.aljazeera.com/amp/features...

It supported Rhodesian and apartheid South African militaries with both tactics and weaponry, further alienating it from the continent because of support for liberation struggles AND decolonization era solidarities with the Palestinian struggle.

I was writing abt Israel’s pariah statecraft during Nigerian Civil War in its support for the Federal Republic *and* Biafra. After its alienation of African & the Middle Eastern states after the 6-Day War — Biafra War began a month after Israel attacked Egypt — it pivoted towards apartheid regimes.

what's their training split?

come outside Chuck we just wanna talk

Columbia continues to destroy itself in the malign and stupid effort to hang on to Zionist and federal money (which it doesn't really need). Today's slaughter includes the expulsion of the president of the grad worker union. A day before bargaining is due to begin.

I once looked longingly at Germany as an example of how a nation's public history could grapple with its past atrocities better than the US does. But in fact Germany's memory culture is rife with troubling dynamics. Read our Spring 2023 responsa: https://jewishcurrents.org/bad-memory-2

You can tell Elon Musk is upset about Threads because he's only tweeted about how white people are the real victims of racism once today.

Finally a shrine for our heroes

Republicans are working hard on making every reactionary crank in the country a deputy of the state, tasked with sniffing out every possible deviance from the white Christian patriarchal dogma. It’s a fundamentally authoritarian vision of society.

Not that anyone here needed a study to know this, but

"Some cops, he said, seemed to relish trying to goad young, usually Black or Latino, men into foot chases by driving up and startling them — knowing that if the youngsters bolted that would give police probable cause to detain and search them."

my next column is what you might call a…critical look at harlan’s dissent in plessy and why it isn’t all its cracked up to be, and its one of those times where i’m glad i’m not really using twitter anymore.

it's kind of amazing that literally every basic chat program today is less functional than AIM was 20 years ago *and* spies on you
