In conclusion, here is a poem by Martin Espada in honor of this occasion.

This weekend is the 90th anniversary of the fascist military coup that eventually overthrew the Second Spanish Republic. International volunteers filled the gap when western democracies refused to aid the Republic. The 3000-strong Abraham Lincoln Brigade was the first integrated U.S. armed unit.

I loved it! You always had a great big spread of planets out on the table and the ships went around to them. This was my prize card

Hunh. Interesting

It’s in Brossat & Klingberg, “Revolutionary Yiddishland.” But as you can see below in this thread it’s also attested elsewhere in Arabic

now it’s people. probably more tomorrow for Algeria though

The sacred invocation of the NY Post: “in the name of the Israel, the Cop, and the Holy Property”

This is Meyer London (1871-1926). Labor lawyer. Second socialist ever elected to the U.S. Congress, representing the Lower East Side. Served two terms. Voted against WWI and the Espionage and Sedition Acts. Refused to introduce an HR supporting the Balfour Declaration. Would be happy tonight.

This is Nathan Chanin (1885-1965). Best known as a labor activist in the U.S., where he was General Secretary of the Jewish Socialist Farband, and active in the Workers’ Circle. When he was 20 he was arrested in Russia and condemned to death by firing squad. Comrades, he TALKED THEM OUT OF IT.

it’s funny seeing all this coverage of “rural, down-home Kansas hospitality” as if Lawrence weren’t a college town

My mayor Polish My bagels Jewish The cops are after me It’s 1923

note to Jews: necromancy is assur d’oraita and therefore you should definitely not do this

Interesting new poll of American Jews: - 54% still hold to traditional consensus on 2SS - 24% now identify as binational one-staters, highest ever - 22% appear to support full-on fascism (N.B. this is just a few points short of the % of Jews who vote GOP, so some of those must be in category 1)

This is a post about Twin Peaks

I’m old enough to remember when this guy was Hitler III (Saddam Hussein was Hitler II) and his very existence was casus belli against Iran but times change I guess

I don’t see how this sentence is true, since they spent *in alignment* with “the president’s grip on the Republican base.”

whoever told you “no one has ever eaten exactly one serving of Mike and Ikes in a ramekin” was WRONG

Apropos of nothing, here’s a Nazi propaganda poster trumpeting the achievements of the years 1933-38. The headline is freeing the country from the impositions of the treaty of Versailles. Most people now agree that Versailles was in fact harsh and unfair in its terms. Do we “hand it to them?” No
