Today, we remember the radical abolitionist, John Brown, on the anniversary of his 1859 execution. May his dedication to equality and radical praxis never be forgotten! #history #johnbrown #civilwar #BLM www.dustinjbyrd.org

Yes, who is more likely to regard the sacrifice of people as abhorrent than those who follow a religion centered on celebrating the sacrifice of a person?

No one will stop me from defending our freedoms.

So happy that "On Christian Nationalism: Critical and Theological Perspectives" is now out in print! With 19 contributors, the book addresses definitions of CN; historical development; intersections with racism, sexism, antisemitism, and Islamophobia; and practical ways to address the problem.

If you or someone you know is in higher ed, why not pick them up something for Black Friday? “Requiem for a College” tells the story of those who have lived through small college closings, and provides research to explain why this trend is happening. #academicsky

Here is one of my latest discourses with the critical theorist, Rudolf J. Siebert, who hails from Frankfurt, #Germany. Next week, we will record another video on the democratic versus the authoritarian personality. #philosophy #criticaltheory #sociology #psychoanalysis youtu.be/y1qzX-M3wMM?...

Stephen Miller would like to engage in sippenhaftung, just like the Nazis. How not surprising.

In 2019, I started the publishing house Ekpyrosis Press to reprint my mentor’s books - he’s now 98 years old. It blew up! Now we’re publishing numerous books a year by other authors. Take a look and take 20% off. #philosophy #religion #politics #sociology #psychology #psychoanalysis #MENA #islam

🚨 🦅 Breaking Military News: The display of this plaque at West Point, which says exactly what six Democratic veterans posted about our military service members' oaths to our Constitution and law not to any leader, is also, according to Trump, "punishable by DEATH!"

Today, we remembers the Polish-British sociologist and philosopher, Zygmunt Bauman, on his 100 year birthday. May he never be forgotten. #philosophy #sociology #ZygmuntBauman #academia #modernity #fear #academicchatter #academia www.dustinjbyrd.org

I had the wonderful opportunity to take my class, “Religion and #Philosophy in the Third Reich,” to The Zekelman Holocaust Center in Farmington Hills, MI, this past week. Always disturbing, it was eye opening for students. #Holocaust #Genicide #Nazism #fascism dustinjbyrd.org/2025/11/15/u...

Out at the end of November: I have a chapter in it entitled, “Messianic Ruscism: Christian Nationalism and the lure of Putin’s Russkii Mir,” about how American Christian Nationalists look to #Russia as a template for what they’d like to do in the US. #Christianity #putin #MAGA www.dustinjbyrd.org

Two lessons from this morning’s news: 1) Democrats are choke artists, as always; 2) Republicans will stop at nothing to screw over the working class and the poor while protecting white collar criminals. #democrats #republicans #senate #shutdown #ACA #Obamacare #SNAP #politics #MikeJohnson #Trump

Today, Ekpyrosis Press remembers the victims of the 1938 Kristallnacht attack on the Jews of Germany by the Nazis. Resistance to all forms of bigotry must always be the way of civilization. #kristallnacht #fascism #nazism #politics #antisemitism #resistance #antifascism #WWII

Was the $40 billion sent to #Argentina actually for Argentina, or was it for #Trump for when he flees there? It is out of character for him not to somehow benefit from such a move. And let’s be honest, he would flee (on his own Qatari jet) before the indictments start piling up again.

Trump has spent his entire life stiffing people he owes money to; there is no surprise he’s trying to stiff the American people of their SNAP benefits. #SNAP #Snapbenefits #Trump #MAGA #GOP #SupremeCourt #politics #money

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

My longtime collaborator and dear brother, Seyed Javad Miri, has published his new book: “The Sociological Imagination in Iran: History and Fundamental Challenges.” #Iran #IranianStudies #Islam #Shiism #MiddleEast #MENA #Sociology #philosophy #Hijab #Iranianwomen ekpyrosispress.com/product/the-...

Russia's goal is the extermination of the Ukrainian nation. All the stuff about NATO and the EU parroted by Farage and Corbyn is propaganda designed to deceive Westerners. Russia's intermediate aim is a 'peace' deal which will leave Ukraine unable to resist a further invasion.

I published this in 2023 and it’s never been more relevant. It’s a deep dive into the psyche of Trump and his devotees from a psychoanalytic and critical theory perspective. #philosophy #psychoanalysis #sociology #history #politics #politicalscience www.ekpyrosispress.com

Teaching about the Third Reich’s gleichschaltung while watching it happen in real time in my own country is quite the exercise in masochism. #Trump #MAGA #fascism #farright #epstein www.dustinjbyrd.org

I’m editing a critical volume on the Russian fascist philosopher, Alexander Dugin, to be published by DeGruyter-Brill. If you are a political philosopher or specialist in Russian thought, and want to contribute, I have one more spot available (essay due in Dec.) #philosophy #Russia #Dugin #ukraine

The victims know. The predators know. And the eye in the sky sees all. Ghislaine knows this very well. Those videos are somewhere safe. Those videos are keeping her alive. The survivors press conference tomorrow and the monsters reaction should be interesting. What say you Donald?

Orange President Neville Chamberlain would like to give away the Sudetenland to Putin so he can get a Nobel Peace Prize. What could go wrong? #Russia #Putin #Trump #Ukraine #War #MAGA #Zelensky

The Institute for Critical Social Theory hosted their inaugural conference recently at the University of Bristol, UK. We had papers on #philosophy, #sociology, #anthropology, #psychoanalysis, #politicalscience, #war. It was a great success. Next year in Istanbul! dustinjbyrd.org/2025/07/25/c...

Seyed Javad Miri’s new book will be out soon. It comes highly recommended, especially as he shows how #sociology can enrich #psychology and #psychoanalysis, along with continental #philosophy. www.ekpyrosispress.com
