My advice to the New School grad students is that it's time to get fucking weird. Don't let the DSA or your Union stop you. Occupy some buildings, chase university Presidents down Fifth Ave. Bring in allies from CUNY, NYU, Columbia, Pratt, SVA, the anarchist community, go hard.

Speaking of which, does anyone with a relatively successful podcast want to bring me on as their co-host?
Anyone know of any alt-ac positions in which you can actually make a decent living without becoming a glorified cop?

The people who demand that we trust in their judgement are so quick to turn on each other. Imagine how little they think of all of us, and what little they will need to happily sacrifice millions of humans for.

When governments are in control of your identity it is precarious just like the rights you associate with it. (Basically paraphrasing Arendt and Weil here.)
I think people often have it conceptually wrong that citizenship / nationality is something you "have" as in your personal thing to discard or not. It's about a government deciding how it's going to treat you, it's a status that's relevant only for their purposes.

@finchelsteinf.bsky.social has been arguing for a transnational understanding of fascism, both historically and contemporaneously since at least 2008.
In its US national security strategy memo, the Trump administration claimed Europe is facing the “stark prospect of civilizational erasure.”
It said it will support “patriotic” far-right parties across Europe to prevent a future in which “certain NATO members will become majority non-European.”

See for example how #17 in this extortion agreement claims to take measures to “protect Jews” when #29, in close proximity, rolls out a host of measures that discriminate against trans individuals. This is such incredible pile of 💩, shame upon Northwestern for caving to this nonsense.
