Here Where We Live Is Our Country The Story of the Jewish Bund | Powell's Books The dramatic story of the Jewish Bund--a revolutionary movement from a vanished world--and their radical vision of solidarity in an age of division. "Molly Crabapple beckons readers through a portal to an irresistible, lost world, one bound together by passion, solidarity, and a burning hunger for justice."--Naomi Klein, New York Times bestselling author of No Logo and Doppelganger When artist Sam Rothbort created his "Memory Paintings" in the aftermath of the Holocaust, he was trying to resurrect the vanished world of his shtetl childhood. When his great-granddaughter, the award-winning artist and journalist Molly Crabapple, discovered his archives decades later, one painting stood out: a girl, her dress the same color as the sky above, hurling a rock through a cottage window. Itka the Bundist, Breaking Windows. That single painting sent Crabapple on a journey into the Jewish Labor Bund. Once the most influential Jewish political force in eastern Europe--and a player in some of the most important events of the twentieth century--they were secular, socialist, and uncompromisingly anti-Zionist. They fought for dignity and equality, not in an imagined homeland in Palestine, but "here, where we live." In the first popular history of the Bund, Crabapple recreates their extraordinary world through dramatic portraits of leaders and foot soldiers alike. The characters Crabapple brings to such vivid life--insurgent poets and anti-religious rebels, clandestine revolutionaries and lovers on the barricades--live deeply through this violent, volatile, and somehow hopeful period, their stories intimately bound up with the Russian Revolution and the Holocaust. Crabapple also grapples with the vital question raised by their rise and fall: What can we learn from a movement that, for all its toughness, imagination, and moral clarity, was largely destroyed? With intimate portraiture and sweeping history, Here Where We Live Is Our Country reanimates a band of idealists who broadened our global political imagination. As we once again contend with nationalism, repression, and the struggle for belonging, the Bund's remarkable story and message--that liberation, dignity, and solidarity must begin where we stand--reaches across time as a guide to our own urgent moment.

1942 political cartoon by Dr. Seuss. original drawing ℅ U.C. San Diego Library. At left, a doorway with a turnstile reads "Pay your income tax here." At right, the ultra-wealthy avoid paying taxes by climbing into a "Tax-Empt Securities Loop Hole for rich." A little man representing the American taxpayer waits to climb into the escape hatch, but a large man representing the House Ways and Means Committee blocks his way. The large man says, "G'wan, small fry. You pay at the turnstile!" Meanwhile, a wealthy man in fine clothes has climbed onto the committee man's back, using him as a step stool to climb into the escape hatch.

Happy Wednesday, Bluesky.

I Guess We're Just Waiting Around To See If This Demented Psychopath Kills Everyone | Defector There is a particular indignity that comes from living in America, derived from the experience of waking up in the morning to see reports that Donald Trump has said something profoundly evil, and then...

We're reaping what we've sown. (I'm just remembering again that a jury found Trump forcibly and without consent penetrated E. Jean Carroll’s vagina.)

In June 2025, LAPD began its Drones as First Responders (DFR) program. They make about 20 flights per day, and have flown as far as 3.5 miles from the launch stations. Raw data is from cloud.skydio.com/dashboard/LAPD, which I then analyzed.

This is like laying off the majority of the firefighters and then paying millions of dollars to an arsonist.

The Netherlands has filed a Declaration of Intervention in the ICJ genocide case against Israel. As a non-party, they are submitting a legal interpretation arguing that forced displacement, starvation, and acts against children can prove specific genocidal intent. icj-cij.org/sites/defaul...

Israel’s renewed war on Lebanon is about more than just Hezbollah After violating the ‘ceasefire’ 10,000 times, Israel is once again pounding Lebanon as its enduring thirst for war drives ever expanding ambitions.

I agree with @ayoub.bsky.social that “Israel’s territorial ambitions and drive for total domination far outweigh any commitment to long-term regional stability.”

Someone should tell him Turkey has been attacking Kurds in Iraq, Syria, and Europe for decades, violating state sovereignty and international law, but do go on about neutrality in regional conflicts

Spoke to someone at the station today with family in Iran.

Politics fades when someone says they’re worried about people they love.

Whatever our views on governments, ordinary people carry the consequences.

We are more alike than different. Solidarity with families living with uncertainty today.

Walking Zirgan Our reporter went to Zirgan, a small city in Syria near the front lines of Erdoğan’s war on Rojava. There he became an eyewitness to brutal Turkish war crimes.

"For Erdoğan, rooting out Kurdish self-determination is part of a larger project to restore the former glory of the Ottoman Empire...through expansionist policies across the region – not only in Syria and Iraq, but in Armenia, Greece, Cyprus, & elsewhere."

U.S. Sent a Rescue Plane for Boat Strike Survivors. It Took 45 Hours to Arrive. In seas that could kill a person within an hour, it took nearly two days for a rescue plane to arrive.

How does a country fulfill the duty to render aid to the shipwrecked without the inconvenience of survivors?

DHS admits it deported more than 80 DACA recipients “Dreamers” who came to the U.S. as children are protected under U.S. law, so deportations of them are unusual.

“The Department of Homeland Security admitted to Congress this month that it deported dozens of unauthorized immigrants who are protected under U.S. law because they were brought as children to the United States, according to a letter made public Thursday.” www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

For the love of god, please learn to express disagreement on this app without talking like an absolute piece of shit who can’t understand that the person on the other end is a thinking, feeling human too

a motto for our times

I think of all the past generations who toiled and wept to give us, the present, such treasures. And how they are destroyed in the blink of an eye, by malignant fools, by the enemies of beauty, civilization, culture and life.

everyone loves smart missiles until they correctly parse the constitution and UCMJ and determine that they have a duty to obstruct an illegal war
