@karenkasler It's great that so many are dedicated to voting, but do they not realize they can still vote at their regular polling location on election day? Or by mail whenever without any wait?

Defending himself from fellow Marxists unhappy with his writing on post-modernism, Fredric Jameson cited the SDS adage: “We have to name the system.” No one was better at naming the system than Jameson, @HeerJeet writes in his obit of the great thinker. https://t.co/i4qKgA6XAs

Indispensable publisher in need of some help. Maybe buy a few Jameson books while you're at it.

[Verso Books @VersoBooks]

Comrades! Verso needs your support for radical publishing!

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Netanyahu is a war criminal committing genocide against the Palestinian people. It is utterly disgraceful that leaders from both parties have invited him to address Congress. He should be arrested and sent to the International Criminal Court.

Those who’ve been exposed to the mid-80s this month will better tolerate the 90s and 100s this week. But with further global heating it will be physiologically impossible to use the 100s in May as protection for 115 in June or 120 in July

Mass organized violence has been the Israeli state’s tactic since 1948, when over 750,000 Palestinians were forced from their homes and land by Jewish militias during the Nakba, using similar tactics to the dispossession used at Wadi Khalil.

Insightful article about a disturbing shift in the what audiences want/expect from art.

[New York Times Opinion @nytopinion]

Good art, @_Jen_Silverman argues, helps us grapple with the complexities of our modern moment. So why have we started insisting that every piece of art deliver a reassuring moral lesson?

@nytopinion @NickKristof What is the treatment women are forced to endure? Fullbright’s comments point to 12-step NA, which is faith-based and opposes use of helpful medications. And why is there a “graduation” (to earn the applause of cops and judges) instead of a celebration of recovery from illness?

Right now, the Senate is considering giving Netanyahu's right-wing government $14B to continue its indiscriminate bombing in Gaza.

How can we, with a straight face, rightly criticize Putin’s war crimes in Ukraine, while ignoring the killing of 27,000 Palestinians?

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

More than 23,000 people killed.

1.9 million displaced from their homes.

Children starving to death.

What’s going on RIGHT NOW in Gaza is a horrific humanitarian disaster and we cannot turn our backs on it.

Congress must act.

[Verso Books @VersoBooks]

Rabbani and Finkelstein argue that the Biden administration's support for Israel's decimation of Gaza stems not only from its strategic support for Israel, but from a perception that Hamas's October 7 attacks were also an assault on US hegemony in the region.

@clevelanddotcom I’m not sure Kouba appreciates how deeply “Being human is not a sin” cuts into Catholicism. It attacks a fundamental belief—original sin. Pain and shame go to the roots. The Church can’t reform to the degree that Kouba wants and still be recognizable as Catholic.

A religious public school is a legal oxymoron. (Read my op-ed on the threat to public education everywhere). https://t.co/12ZZWSN19I
