Molly Crabapple's Here Where We Live Is Our Country
"Though the Bund celebrated
Eastern European Jews as a people,
they irreconcilably opposed the
establishment of a Jewish state in
Palestine. The diaspora was home,
the Bund argued. Jews could never
escape their problems by the
dispossession of others."

Here Where We Live Is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund
The Story of the Jewish Bund
Years ago, via a painting by her great-grandfather, @mollycrabapple.bsky.social got fascinated by the Jewish Bund, a secular, anti-zionist socialist movement. We are all very lucky she did. Her book "Here Where We Live Is Our Country" comes out on 4/7. Preorder here: bookshop.org/p/books/here...

You guys did that whole big thing on Bernard Goldstein and the Warsaw ghetto. You called him Comrade Bernie!

One of the lessons of the Iran war is that it was a huge mistake not to even try to put any of the Iraq war architects in prison. We shouldn’t make it again.

On August 15, a father never came home. His children were left scared and heartbroken, knowing he would never abandon them.
At first, the family only knew immigration authorities had detained him. /1

'For Your Freedom and Ours': The Lessons of the Jewish Bund
In a new book, author Molly Crabapple examines the story of the revolutionary Jewish Bund — and the lessons for resistance today.
In her forthcoming book, @mollycrabapple.bsky.social "writes to make you fall in love with the Bundists — with their charm, their surety, their steadfastness, their loquaciousness — but more so to make you fall in love with their ideas."

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.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

Like the neocons, Trump’s neo-neocons repeatedly invoke the West’s complacency and unwillingness to defend its own values, a frailty that can be rectified only through the ritual use of military force against weaker targets. The conservative writer Jonah Goldberg once articulated what he called the “Ledeen Doctrine,” after the neoconservative Michael Ledeen, which was: “Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business.” Despite Trump’s rejection of George W. Bush, MAGA bears many similarities to the right-wing politics of that era—a fetishization of violence and torture, the treatment of opposition as treasonous, a disdain for due process, and an anti-Muslim bigotry at odds with fundamental American principles.
Pundits loved telling you about Trump's "anti-interventionism" because it seemed contrarian and interesting, but he always represented neoconservatism's worst impulses shorn of any moral pretense or concern www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

The War on Terror Paved the Way for Trump's Rise—Now He's Making It His Own
Only the total abolition of the DHS can restore freedom.
NEW @thenation.com: The tools of the War on Terror must be destroyed before Trump uses them to finish building his world order, at home and abroad. What we did at home yesterday is what we do in Iran today is what we will do at home tomorrow. The way we break the cycle is straightforward: abolition.

The West is marshalling all this effort and tearing any pretence of international law to shreads all to empower an apartheid state that has been openly committing genocide for the past several years.
Any notion the West was some kind of moral arbiter of the world is dead and buried.

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest.
In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.
