BREAKING: Texas State Fires Professor over Palestine Speech Philosopher Idris Robinson is being fired for having principles. He gave a talk on Palestinian resistance. He would not condemn it. Over a year later, TXST terminates his tenure-track contract. But he's fighting back.🧵

Death to Zionism, Christian nationalism, Hindutva, Islamism, & all such supremacist ideologies.

Mamdani once again spreading state department talking points through his administration as the U.S. bombs and murders Iranians mercilessly. Why is he always manufacturing consent for regime change and war against the countries the U.S. is strangling? Venezuela and now Iran.

I hate the “nationalism is a sign of stupidity” type of tweets so much It’s such a reductive take and so evil to think that the nationalism of the oppressed/colonized/imperialized is the same as the nationalism of the oppressor/colonizer/imperialist

Really disgusting cultural appropriation and fetishization of Native Americans by the Iranian regime. But most of all, what this shows is how attuned the regime is to Western antizionism—its construction of “indigeneity,” the analogies it draws between oppressed groups as exoticized victims of “Zionist imperialism,” and the expansion of “Zionism” into a global structure of oppression, a cosmic metaphor for injustice itself. That such an evil and oppressive regime can take up the mantle of left-wing “resistance” and victimology shows that the current left has reached a total dead end, not unlike the historic failures of Stalinism, the Cambodian genocide, and other moments when the language of liberation became indistinguishable from domination.

Everyone’s in therapy and no one’s doing better
