Loving Memory of Barbara Lubin: A Legacy That Lives On mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#in... Today, we lost a dear friend, fierce comrade, rare human being. I have known Barbara Lubin for plus 40 years. Difficult to imagine this world without her steady presence, moral clarity, boundless compassion.

The so-called 'Left' in this country is now just the polite wing of empire, doing the Right’s dirty work in inclusive language. If Zohran terrifies them, it’s because even a whisper of downwardly redistributive justice threatens their whole rotten consensus. :<>

It seems to me that state-sponsored abductions, or extraordinary renditions, ought to be at the top of our list of contemporary outrages and existential threats. Nobody, regardless of citizenship status, should not be detained and disappeared to torture facilities or third parties.

Andrew Ross is an incredible teacher and generous mentor who never turns down a request to stand alongside students seeking justice, regardless of consequence. Would that we were all so brave.

You know I already knew theoretically and historically that liberalism is contradictory with itself, but I’ve never seen a live example like the Biden admin, champions of the rule of law as a bulwark against fascism, going down in flames to defend a fascist regime’s genocidal war crime spree

Can’t we agree that the US should follow its own laws with regard to US weapons use and humanitarian aid? Shouldn’t these laws apply in every case, including in the case of our weapons transfers to Israel?

Trying out this new platform in the hope that we might find virtual community that is not merely metadata for state surveillance and oligarchic democracy. Interested in a free Palestine.
