We’re thinking about the Poway synagogue shooting and wanted share a few segments that have helped us understand white supremacy and violence in the past… 1/
Following the mass shooting at two mosques in Christchurch, we asked @BostonJoan how the press can report on white supremacy without spreading the ideology... 2/ wnycstudios.org/story/press-fi…
@BostonJoan ...and we talked to @kathleen_belew about how attacks like the one in Poway are part of a clearly defined movement: the white power movement. 3/ wnycstudios.org/story/understa…
@BostonJoan @kathleen_belew We learned about how white supremacists communicate and plan from @UR_Ninja’s @HongPong. 4/ wnycstudios.org/story/secret-c…
@BostonJoan @kathleen_belew @UR_Ninja @HongPong And after the shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, we talked to @JFREJNYC’s @LeoFergusonnyc about how old anti-semitic dog whistles have been employed to new effects in recent months. 5/5 wnycstudios.org/story/why-orig…

Here's a #MayDay photo from 1912 in Union Square, NY
"The workers fight the wars, the bosses reap the profits."
You may have also heard that May 1st is "Loyalty Day" -- that comes about after World War II, specifically as a way to "counter any attempts to revive radical May Day demonstrations" according to @DHavertyStacke
But patriotism was a part of #MayDay from the very beginning...
@DHavertyStacke NY Socialists in the 1890s were passing resolutions that they were going to carry the American flag into Union Square -- they felt a duty to carry it with the red flag.

THREAD: TONS of history to learn in this conversation with @dimmerwahr about the history of US empire. Here’s a little taste: 1/

Up until the Spanish-American War in 1898, America...wasn’t called America. It was the United States; it was Columbia. But once the country acquired major swaths of overseas territory, it needed a new name to fit its new status. 2/
It also needed to be *represented* differently. We’re used to seeing the United States represented via what political scientist Benedict Anderson called the “logo map”: 3/

1) "What do we say to death?"
"Not today."

#GameofThrones
2) Who's ready for a midnight thread?
3) What did @POTUS say about the #PowaySynagogueShooting?
"Looks like a hate crime."

Why would he say "looks?"

Right.

Because there is no hate crime there.
Or at least, not the KIND of hate crime we've been told.

Before sun had even set on day that a white nationalist opened fired in #Poway synagogue, killing 1Jewish person at prayer & injuring 3 more, at least 3 Jewish men in positions of power & accountability were using the occasion to foment Islamophobia & their right-wing agendas 1/7
Dov Hikind is a NY State Assemblyman. Chip Roy is a Congressman from Texas. Mort Klein is head of the ZOA. Each tried to personally connect Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, the first Muslim women in Congress, to this heinous attack. We need some accountability 2/7
They have constituents and institutions that they are accountable to and in relationship with. Every single Jewish institution, Jewish elected, and Jewish constituent needs to be calling them to account. Everyone else too, but these are our "community leaders" so it's on us 3/7

A thread of #JenReadsRitas books, bc that's a thing I'm going to do.
Just yesterday I read THE LAST WOLF by Maria Vale. It's so strong. I bought the 2nd book on spec last week, and now I'm so glad I have it ready to go.

amzn.to/2YghUC3
It's honestly so fresh for a book about wolves. Silver, our heroines is a wolf who has never been offland--she's way more comfortable as a wolf than in "skins." The hero, Tiberius, is a shifter who will be killed if she doesn't help him.

Really interesting world-building.
