I wish more of the public understood that Premillennialism has driven GOP support for Israel over decades. Bibi/Israel's' Right Wing has used this to maintain US support across party lines.
Conservative Protestants through white Christian Nationalists support a Israel to bring on the end times ⬇️

"For movement conservatism the attack on perceived wokeism only fits w 1st Amendment doctrine in certain situations, such as the defense of conservative speakers on campus In other situations, such as the attempted regulation of social media by red states, speech rules cut in the opposite direction"

US-ISRAELI ATTACKS ON IRAN KILL 201; IRAN FIRES BACK, BLASTS ACROSS REGION Explosions heard in Tehran, elsewhere, as Israel and US launches attacks; Iran retaliates, blasts across region.

While there are numerous aspects of the current military action taken by the U.S. and Israel against Iran that are anchored and sustained by religion, we suggest following news organizations with the capacity to cover these events across the region 🧵

Ethnic Cleansing
Seized children were made untraceable or disappeared into white Christian Nationalist institutions like Bethany Christian Services during the 1st regime
Adoption via these networks will likely be the regime's "humane alternative" to deaths they can't cover up in concentration camps

Looks like a post-punk trio doing the cover shoot for their next album

During Regime 1.0 they digitized ALL of the naturalization records. I've been muttering "Digital Windrush" ever since.

There was no reason to do this unless they were planning on using denaturalization for voter suppression, seizing social security/medicare $, ginning up grounds for deportation

IR US is for grad students and ECRs so that they can workshop a research project, practice presenting initial findings and more formally at conferences, integrate critical engagement and understand what it takes to revise and submit for publication. The best part: @drfstewart.bsky.social as a mentor

"Ahmed’s @saranahmed.bsky.social conceptualising of knowledge, or more accurately, knowingness indicates that @ its core are 2 aspects: agency and authority Whilst the subaltern often has the agency to speak, or be recognised, they lack or are denied the authority to be seen or heard (Spivak 1988)"

Minnesota remains under siege, operations have started up again in Maine and never stopped in Chicago or LA.

Find on the ground groups to support (mutual aid, legal assistance, watch groups) and in as much as you are able to build up your capacity and your community's to sustain a general strike.

I would like to take a moment to remind my colleagues that it s not the job of book reviews editors to train your PhD students in academic niceties such as punctuation, sentence structure, or reading the damn instructions.

4 Black journalists have been charged w Civil Rights crimes while covering a protest at Easterbrook's Church
I'm sure Bondi/Dhillon cackled at using the DOJ CR div this way
Arguably it is an instance of Reestablishing Religion - Schragger @micahschwartzman.bsky.social & Tebbe 2025 UChicago Law Rev

and a mass violation First Amendment right to free religious expression and arguably in the context of a violation of the Establishment Clause [given the arrests and threatened prosecutions at the church of David Easterbrook (Pastor and ICE Agent)] this weekend

This is an excellent example of the moral and mortal dangers of white Christian nationalism

As arguments begin in the transgender athletes cases, a few things to keep in mind:

I am not being flippant or disrespectful but in fact extremely complimentary when I say this is metal as fuck

How I'm walking out of 2025

This is part of an all out assault on data privacy and the regulation of tech, and it should fought by everyone who values democracy and human dignity.

It's Bari Weiss enshittifying CBS News and CBS's Public interest programming; to demonstrate the network is a platform for white supremacy and give white supremacists, Christian nationalists and racist atheist bros (academia & tech) a corroded veneer of credibility.

Any other questions?
