And releasing just in time for Passover. As my favorite Haggadah renders it, "Every generation must earn its claim to liberty. The struggle for freedom in Egypt and the challenge it represented is no less the challenge of our lives."

May every Pharaoh, every oppression, every injustice, fall.

On Fascism with Daniel Bessner and Ajay Singh Chaudhary Episode 15 of the Protean View podcast

This is an excellent dissection of the fabled ‘fascism debate’ in America, India, Israel, and beyond featuring two voices whose critical disagreements offer much needed clarity.

This brilliant article by @materialistjew.bsky.social lives rent-free (ha ha) in my head during discussions like this. Living within American borders does not necessarily mean you're not part of the colony.

Race, Caste, and Capitalism - Brooklyn Institute for Social Research What explains the persistence of racial inequality, throughout time and across the most diverse societies? For much of the 20th century, the predominant assumption in the United States was that race f...

Remember that's 100% accurate?

Hegseth's own CO even flagged him as a potential inside threat! He's in a project I'm working on and he doesn't even hide any of this. It's plain as day in his published books (which,took one for the team here, actually read as non ghost written)

(and it's both heartening to see the good company but dismaying to see many who claim to be left wing free speech warriors noticeably absent)

There is no defense of Syracuse's actions and no excuse to not support Sultana's full exoneration and reinstatement. Proud to have signed this early and easily.

As an alumni of Syracuse University, it's appalling that they are capitulating against a right-wing campaign against Professor Farhana Sultana for exercising her first amendment rights. Do consider signing this letter calling on Syracuse University to reinstate her docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

A lot happening but this drops tomorrow and also features (from a listener question) a capsule review of One Battle After Another from Isi in the first segment. The Ghost of Yotei discussion is I think pretty unique in 'the discourse' and excited to hear people's reactions

Schrodinger’s Element | Ajay Singh Chaudhary In her new book, Thea Riofrancos homes in on the extraction of lithium—and the thorny problem of an ecologically sound energy transition

Writing about the climate crisis can tend toward abstraction or comforting techno-optimism. “Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism” does anything but. @materialistjew.bsky.social talks with @triofrancos.bsky.social about the knotty problem of the energy transition.
