Israel's Ethnic Cleansing of the Palestinians, 1949-1959, a brief history 🧵

Freedom of the Press. US style.

Some of you are hateful, sick humans. Expressing anger seeing images of Palestinians celebrating the ceasefire, simply because they don’t appear emaciated, disheveled, or in tattered clothing? Because they have haircuts & the physical strength to celebrate? Y’all mad? Evil 🤡

Congratulations, Democrats. The TikTok ban was initiated by Trump, passed through the House and Senate along bipartisan lines, yet because President Biden signed the bill into law, Democrats allowed Trump to be the hero on this, politically. Absolute malpractice by leadership.

The reason pro-Palestine voices may not be "keeping the same energy" for Trump (whatever that means) is that we're not the GOP base. They don't care what we say. It makes Biden's failures worse: The shameful support for genocide & the political malpractice of ignoring his base.

The people dunking on Uncommitted now are simply admitting that their candidate lost because she told a whole constituency to fuck off and die. Beyond the moral grotesquerie it’s such loser behavior. Why would anyone ever want to be on a team with people like that?

So many DOGE-bashing columns by *serious* journalists (Catherine Rampell here) concede Musk’s and the GOP’s premises: the fed gov’t is janky & wasteful, too many workers are bad at their jobs, and regulations oppress businesses. With critics like these, you don’t need supporters.

and a shift in political capital from certain gentrifying schools to support greater investment and all - but especially majority Black and Brown - school facilities. You can read more about it here! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

A competent political party would never lose an election to people who talk like this.

My latest piece with Marcel Paret about the anti-capitalist wing of the anti-apartheid movement came out today in The Journal Souls and is open access 🧵 This movement may be well documented, but its radical wing has been mostly ignored. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Fascism doesn’t just appear, writes @benehrenreich. It must be invited in—and the bipartisan repression of the pro-Palestine movement did just that. bit.ly/4iQvu7P

my book has a cover! Out in November 2025 with UChicagoPress. Ever wondered about the stories of #homeowners in a place like Detroit, who own the last house on the block? And what does it mean for white newcomers to move in, and start #gentrifcation, but to fail?

I HATE YOURE FUCKING GUTS YOU WEAK-ASS FECKLESS ASS DIPSHITS. YOUR LEGACY WILL MEAN NOTHING. YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING AND THEN HAVE THE NERVE TO SEND PEOPLE IN A COST OF LIVING CRISIS ENDLESS FUCKING FUNDRAISING EMAILS AND TEXTS —FOR THIS?!?!?!

Maybe if Democrats spent weeks leading a mobilization effort against the bill -- a national strategy with rallies in key districts -- instead of having meltdowns about Zohran, I'd be a bit more enthusiastic about Jeffries's grand plan to... delay the vote until the afternoon.

It's so weird. Dems keep breaking talking records, but we all keep losing our rights, money, benefits, and care.
