The trial and sentencing of black track-and-field athlete Karmelo Anthony, found guilty of murdering Austin Metcalf, who was white, has become a major political flash point in Texas.

I asked Socialism AI how Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire. He created nothing, but appropriated vast sums from the working class by leveraging his monopoly power and relationships with the capitalist state. Musk is a capitalist welfare king.

In a ceremony in Kiev’s National Military Cemetery May 24, Ukraine’s political-military leadership re-interred the ashes of the WWII Ukrainian nationalist, fascist leader and Nazi collaborator Andriy Melnyk - Ukraine repatriates remains of Andriy Melnyk

And @nytimes whitewashes this Nazi collaborator as "divisive 20th-Century hero" "criticized as a Nazi collaborator and lionized as an anti-Soviet resistance leader." It whitewashes Zelensky's glorification of him as moving with views of Ukrainians during the war. This is all fake.

Today, as a Ukrainian-Jewish and a scholar of the Holocaust, I feel deeply ashamed.

I never could have imagined that in my country — the country where the Nazis murdered 1.5 million Jews, the country of Babyn Yar, the very symbol of the Holocaust in the Soviet Union, a country that claims to be fighting for “freedom and democracy” — a Nazi collaborator and OUN leader like Andriy Melnyk would be buried with full state honors.

Men under Melnyk’s leadership served in the Auxiliary police under Nazi. They hunted Jews hiding in attics, basements, forests, and barns, desperate to survive the Holocaust. They guarded ghettos and camps. They marched Jews to execution sites. And they took part in the shootings alongside the Germans.

By the spring of 1943, the Holocaust in Ukraine was nearly complete. The Jewish neighbors were gone — murdered before the eyes, and often with the assistance, of Melnyk’s followers. And it was precisely then that Melnyk supported the creation of the Waffen-SS Galicia Division, whose members swore an oath to Adolf Hitler.

And today, the president of my country — a man whose own relatives were murdered by the Nazis — kneels before the coffin of this Nazi collaborator.

One could hardly imagine a greater humiliation for Jews. It is a humiliation for everyone who once believed that “Never Again” meant something in contemporary Ukraine — a country where militant ethnic nationalism increasingly dictates the politics of memory, and national identity.

This is how men in Ukraine are being kidnapped and forced to the front lines. This terror is being financed by the EU.

Today Ms. Rachel courageously delivered drawings from Dilley detainees (including several by the El Gamal kids) to the House/Senate.

Both parties are responsible for Dilley's existence; product of a deeply rotten political order.

Close Dilley now (& hands off the El Gamals)!

The death of historian Gordon Wood 3 weeks before the 250th anniv. of the Declaration of Independence is a terrible tragedy. He kept the revolutionary fire burning & defended its legacy when NY Times 1619 Project attacked it from right wing identity politics standpoint. RIP!

More proof that the immigration court system is an anti-democratic farce.

Immigration Judge Amy Lee orders dead non-citizen deported, finding "insufficient proof of death."

You can't make this up!

Piker reminds one of Trotsky's description of Kerensky: "He had no theoretical preparation, no political schooling, no ability to think, no political will." He has "that kind of eloquence which operates neither upon mind or will, but upon the nerves."
