American Id

An occasional podcast that plumbs the depths of the American psyche. History, popular culture, antiracism, & antifascism. (Craig posting).

The recriminations flying on the left show just how little the #DemocraticParty establishment gets the gravity of the moment. We don’t have a party-level candidate problem or a strategy problem. We have a massive social problem at the national level. 1/

@tyorrique Excellent.

[American Id @AmericanIdPod]

If only there was a way to predict the political leanings of an apartheid-raised emerald-mine scion who's a proud super-spreader of dangerous conspiracy theories & fascist hate.

@RonaldGranieri @GOP I believe they're constitutionally exempt from the burden of reckoning with the moral or logical implications of their whims.

@shane_burley1 @haaretzcom @BenLorber8 Glad you're getting the attention. The book is great!

@RandalHendrick9 I wish literally anyone in higher ed administration knew the role universities play in NRx conspiracism.

@RandalHendrick9 Running out on his kids was one thing, but plagiarism? Donezo.

There can be no left resistance to the reactionary onslaught without an uncompromising radical intersectional commitment

You can't fight fascism if you're not fighting racism, transphobia, ableism, classism etc

There can be no pick and choose and no opposing one to the other

@kathleen_belew See you there!

[David Neiwert @DavidNeiwert]

I have been saying this for over two decades, but it could not be more acutely clear than it is now. This is the first step out of the hole. And until we take it, everything else is futile.

[American Id @AmericanIdPod]

A few more words on the subject. https://t.co/9ikxaG74xc

And now we’ll have to address that historic problem in an extra-political environment of #authoritarian takeover. We jumped timelines, #America, and everyone needs to catch up. Immediately. 2/
