Jonathan Chait: The these socialists archive.ph democratic about Democrats have spent the Trump era telling the American people that they're the only political force capable of defending the country from authoritarianism. That argument will be impossible to maintain if they countenance an organization that honors the legacy of the convicted cop killer Assata Shakur and calls for "solidarity" with North Korea. But criticizing the DSA will only go so far. When David Duke was the Republican candidate for governor in Louisiana in 1991, prominent Republicans, including President George H. W. Bush, condemned the former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. Some explicitly backed his Democratic opponent, the legendarily corrupt Edwin Edwards. Although the GOP certainly had a moral obligation to distance itself from a hate-monger, doing so was also in the party's self-interest. Democrats, whose brand is viewed as too left-wing in five out of six Senate-battleground states, should be similarly wary of fanatics trying to infiltrate their ranks. Open letters aren't enough. If the Democrats want to root out the party within their party, they will need to stop indulging the DSA's constant, passive-aggressive attempts to undermine them. This would require prohibiting DA members from joining their party and throwing out the DSA members already honeycombed within it. Four decades ago, Labour's Neil Kinnock expelled the extremist faction burrowing within his beloved party. If Democrats want to rescue their party, they may need to do the same.

But foreign policy had barely come up in the election. If it had, Wilson might have been forced to admit he had supported annexing the Philippines, Hawaii, and Guam in 1898; and that while he believed the Philippines and Puerto Rico might eventually have self-rule, he had warned against giving "the generous gifts of complete individual liberty or the full-fangled institutions of American self-govern-ment" to "undeveloped peoples, still in the childhood of their political growth." Nor was he philosophically opposed to Frederick Jackson Turner's brand of expansionism. To the contrary, Wilson had been an early, influential collaborator of Turner's, who helped shape his Frontier Thesis when he taught Turner as a graduate student at Johns Hopkins. *3

Sage Journals g Cart Search Access It is important to distinguish between infidelity as a relational rupture and infidelity as a form of psychological harm. Not all infidelity constitutes abuse. Situational or isolated infidelity may occur in the context of unmet relational needs, impaired communication, developmental transitions, or relational conflict and does not inherently result in trauma-related psychopathology.13 However, emerging evidence indicates that serial infidelity combined with deception, power imbalance, coercive control, and psychological invalidation may produce psychological effects consistent with recognised trauma syndromes.2-10
This is not to say Platner's totenkopf means that he was a secret Nazi or proved he was a dyed-in-the-wool antisemite, nor does him wanting U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund local hospitals rather than Israeli bombs that fall on Gaza hospitals mean that he hates Jewish people. However, too many Platner apologists feigned incredulity about his unmistakable red flags. With the totenkopf, specifically, it takes a real suspension of disbelief to buy that he wasn't aware of its meaning until the oppo dump was released and right before he opted to cover it up.

More mail Justin Kavanagh: "As an Irishman, can I extend my best wishes to the English as they sit and stew in this epic stadium anticipating the battle. While they wait, maybe they can maybe reflect that this arena (real name: Azteca) is named after a people who would haul captives to the top of their stepped temples before cutting out the hearts as human sacrifices; they would then let the still-beating hearts bounce down the steps to the masses below. They also used to play a type of early football with the heads of the defeated. Or was that the Incas? Well, either way, something to think about while they wait out the thunder and lightning. Nothing to fear at all, then, lads."

AC Commite Jewish committee DONATE Adam Louis-Klein: So I'm hoping to continue writing and to continue getting out this work. I'm hoping to also work with grassroots organizers to try to put some activist meat onto this opposition to anti-Zionism. So l believe that, as I was talking about parallel academic spaces are really important, I also think it's important to be able to speak back to anti-Zionism with activist language. Not only the academic side, but the activist side. So I'm working with the group now, a decentralized group, developing infographics, memes, things that can circulate to educate people about anti-Zionism as the new form of antisemitism today.
Committee DONATE So I went to Facebook, and I don't remember exactly what I said, I stand with the Jewish people, or with Israelis, or Am Yisrael Chai, or something like that. And many people in my circles, really interpreted that as an aggression. So at that point, it was really strange, because I'd been living in the Amazon, trying to help people with their own cultural survival, you know, their own struggle to reproduce their own civilization in the face of assimilation and surrounding society that refuses to validate their unique identity. And then I came back to the world, and I was seeing the exact same thing happening to my own people. And even stranger than that, it was happening to my own people, but in the language of critique and solidarity. So the very language l'd learned in anthropology, of how to support indigenous people and sort of to align myself with their struggles was now being weaponized against me in this kind of horrible inversion of reality. Manya Brachear Pashman: Had you sensed this aggressive tone prior to your time in the Amazon and when you were involved with these circles? Adam Louis-Klein: No, I'd never witnessed anything like this in my life,
Adam Louis-Klein: So part of my research looks at how indigenous people engage with Christian missionaries who try and translate the Bible into indigenous languages. So when that encounter happens, it's actually quite common throughout the world, that a lot of indigenous people identify with the Jewish people quite strongly. So this might sound a little counterintuitive, especially if someone's used to certain activist networks in which indigeneity is highly associated with Palestinians, Jews are treated now as settler colonists, which is basically the opposite of indigeneity.
He is currently completing a PhD in anthropology at McGill University, based on fieldwork in the Vaupés region of the Amazon with the Desana people, on cosmology, translation, and ethnoreligious identity. He draws comparative insights between Desana and Jewish forms of peoplehood, engaging deeply with questions of sovereignty, sacred geography, and analogic thought.

On top of the storm risk, brutal D.C. humidity is driving a triple-digit heat index alongside massive swarms of mosquitos and gnats that fighters will have to battle inside the cage. While the venue’s massive 92-foot overhang will keep the octagon dry, a single lightning strike within eight miles will trigger an automatic 30-minute freeze on the entire event.
