I’m getting close to the end of the incredible read “Here Where We Live Is Our Country” so I listened to this interview about it, which was a great addition. The way they discuss the Bund and what it means to our movements today was lovely. overcast.fm/+AAw3zQQ1Djo

In 2022, a year into the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I had the extraordinary fortune to travel to Kyiv, Lviv and Odesa. I am very grateful to the Ukrainians I met, and since then I have been selling prints to raise money for Ukrainian humanitarian efforts. www.mollycrabapple.com/shop/p/new-b...

Winners generally write history, but sometimes history has a way of resurrecting buried legacies. In "Here Where We Live Is Our Country," Molly Crabapple has unearthed an important part of the democratic socialist tradition.
The only real profitability of AI has always been that the government artificially subsidizes this politically-connected industry by forcing citizens to subsidize its otherwise very middling-to-poor products; k-12 education is one of the main places for that to happen. www.ft.com/content/e23e...

Strong statement from AAUP in support of Steven Thrasher. The campaign against Prof Thrasher "represents a shameful & severe violation of academic freedom & freedom of speech. Rather than standing up for the right to peaceful protest & political expression, administrators capitulated to pressure."
dr. thrasher also believes netanyahu is a war criminal“The AAUP stands in solidarity with Steven Thrasher, the inaugural Daniel H. Renberg Chair of Social Justice in Reporting at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, who last week filed a lawsuit against Northwestern and against partisan government actors” www.aaup.org/news/northwe...

A new New York City initiative, led by Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Office of Mass Engagement, will send volunteer organizers into neglected buildings to help tenants organize, testing the role government can play in building collective working-class power.

History is rarely as inevitable as it's remembered. Another future was offered. One that was largely erased. While the Bund lost, this is a reminder that victors often build our future by disassembling the past. Thank you for your work @mollycrabapple.bsky.social and thank you for the gift!
