Brazil is living under one of the most blatantly fascist regimes in the world today. This attack on Glenn Greenwald is a terrifying crackdown on journalism.

Glenn is being targeted for exposing the crimes of Bolsonaro and his corrupt coup-mongering allies
bbc.com/news/technolog…
The far-right Brazilian Justice Minister Sérgio Moro, who is leading this criminal witch hunt against @GGreenwald, oversaw the coup against Brazil's elected left-wing government, with support from the US government.

Moro recently visited CIA headquarters.
brasilwire.com/in-plain-sight…
@ggreenwald After the US supported the coup that installed them, Bolsonaro & Moro showed their gratitude with a pilgrimage to the CIA

Ex-FM: "No Brazilian president had ever paid a visit to the CIA, This is an explicitly submissive position. Nothing compares to this"

If Bernie doesn't start defending himself, yet alone pushing back, he's toast.

Enough of these polite pleasantries. As they crucified Corbyn, he kept apologizing until the end.

No more compromises with class enemies.
This is so weak. Stop apologizing for saying the truth about corrupt right-wing neoliberals

The lesson of the crucifixion of Corbyn is never give these hyenas an inch, or they'll take a thousand miles

No compromising with or apologizing to class enemies

Regardless of what you think about Tulsi, this is exactly how to respond to attacks from right-wing neoliberal war criminals like Hillary Clinton

Hillary wants to destroy Bernie, and is trying to do it as we speak. So he needs to defend himself

Martin Luther King Jr. was a revolutionary socialist and anti-imperialist who correctly described the US gov't as "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world."

MLK was relentlessly demonized. The FBI spied, blackmailed, and plotted to “neutralize” him
thegrayzone.com/2017/01/17/fbi…
Martin Luther King Jr was arrested 30 (THIRTY!) times and was a main target of the FBI's murderous Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO)

The FBI threatened MLK nonstop, recording his phone calls, spying on him, even trying to force him to kill himself
thegrayzone.com/2017/01/17/fbi…
A jury determined in a civil suit in a Tennessee court in 1999 that the US government was complicit in the killing of Martin Luther King Jr. (just like how the FBI murdered Chicago Black Panther leader Fred Hampton)

Women who were raped during the Bosnian genocide built a monument for victims. The ultranationalist Serb govt sent over 100cops to erase the word "genocide" written in stone. A survivor made the truth reappear with her lipstick.

[Thread] I've been inspired by a couple things this week to share a piece of my current book project on the Janowska concentration camp outside of Lviv, Ukraine.

In particular, it deals with these two photos (but I will come back to them.)
First was the piece by @SarahEBond and @TheTattooedProf on the value of public outreach. Building off that, not enough of us share the results of our research at stages prior to publication...even though it can still be fascinating.

chronicle.com/article/Public…
Second, I was also inspired by the overwhelming response to @McKayMSmith's thread on the Höcker album which seems to show that many people are interested in the complex lives of #Holocaust perpetrators.

[THREAD] On what a concentration camp IS or why @DineshDSouza doesn't need to lose his historically-disadvantaged mind over nuanced comparisons. 🙄🤦‍♂️

Let's talk about this.
(@AOC @RepAOC, I've got your back here.)

Me checking into Twitter this afternoon...

On it...
First, I've actually written on this a couple times or been interviewed about it. So we'll lead with that.

[THREAD] Well, it had to happen eventually. @DineshDSouza finally staggered into my minefield: #Holocaust History. In his quixotic crusade against history, he claims that Hitler "learned" genocidal strategy from...the Democrats. Let's talk about that. bit.ly/2NAx683
D'Souza conflates about a dozen different elements of Nazism, #Nazi policy, and the Final Solution, exaggerating influences in one area while simply making erroneous claims on the other. Moreover, Hitler's very real borrowing from the US is not a surprise to scholars.
And because DD loves to hang on credentials...let me present mine. I earned my PhD from one of the top German History programs at @UNChistory working with the preeminent Holocaust scholar, Christopher Browning. I've published two books on the Holocaust. unc.live/2XvoYKH
