Today in Labor History August 4, 1974: The fascist terrorist organization, Ordine Nero, set off a bomb on the Italicus Express train at San Benedetto Val di Sambro, Italy, killing 12 people and wounding 22. Their goal was to destroy the liberal-democratic state because of its alleged tolerance of Communists, dark-skinned immigrants and Jews. #workingclass #LaborHistory #fascism #terrorism #italy #communism #antisemitism #racism #bomb

"Trump administration texted college professors' personal phones to ask if they're Jewish." https://theintercept.com/2025/04/23/trump-eeoc-barnard-columbia-texts-jewish/ As all academics know, you can't ask this question in a job interview. https://www.eeoc.gov/pre-employment-inquiries-and-religious-affiliation-or-beliefs But I guess it's OK when it's not a job interview, when it's the govt asking, and the govt includes a high-ranking official who gives #Nazi salutes. This happened at #BarnardCollege. Probably no accident that Barnard is affiliated with #Columbia. Trump officials said they had a right to the personal contact info, and the school handed it over. #Antisemitism #Trump #USPol #USPolitics #WTF @academicchatter@a.gup.pe

Update. The Trump admin is demanding a list of Jewish faculty, staff, and students at #UPenn. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/13/upenn-trump-jews-list Trump's #EEOC asked for the list last July. Penn refused, and the EEOC sued the university in November. What's new is that several groups just filed a motion in federal court to intervene in the lawsuit on the side of the university -- the American Association of University Professors (#AAUP, national and UPenn chapters), the American Academy of Jewish Research, the UPenn Jewish Law Students Association, the UPenn Association of Senior and Emeritus Faculty. From #StevenWeitzman, UPenn prof of religious studies and past member of its antisemitism taskforce: “Part of what sets off alarm bells for people like me is a history of people using Jewish lists against Jews. The Nazi campaign against Jews depended on institutions like universities handing over information about their Jewish members to the authorities.” #Academia #AcademicMastodon #Antisemitism #Trump #Universities #USPol #USPolitics

Update. Yesterday #UPenn filed a 163-page brief in federal court condemning the #Trump admin demand for a list of #Jews at the institution as “extraordinary and unconstitutional". https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/us/university-of-pennsylvania-trump-jewish-staff.html "The #EEOC insists that Penn produce this information without the consent — and indeed, over the objections — of the employees impacted while entirely disregarding the frightening and well-documented history of governmental entities that undertook efforts to identify and assemble information regarding persons of Jewish ancestry. The government’s demand implicates Penn’s substantial interest in protecting its employees’ privacy, safety and First Amendment rights." #Academia #AcademicMastodon #Antisemitism #Universities #USLaw #USPol #USPolitics

Update. "Federal Judge Approves Trump Effort to Obtain List of Jews From Penn." https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/us/politics/trump-jews-penn-list-judge.html Penn will appeal the ruling. “We continue to believe that requiring Penn to create lists of Jewish faculty and staff, and to provide personal contact information, raises serious privacy and First Amendment concerns.” #Academia #AcademicMastodon #Antisemitism #Universities #USLaw #USPol #USPolitics

Today in Labor History July 26, 1937: Photojournalist and antifascist Gerda Taro was killed while covering the Spanish Civil War. She was 26. Thousands attended her funeral. Taro was a German Jew, who had to flee Germany after being imprisoned for her anti-Nazi activism. While living in exile, in France, she met another Jewish exile and photojournalist, Endre Ernő Friedmann. Together they published their work under the pseudonym Robert Capa. Scholar Hanno Hardt described their work as such: "Taro and Capa helped invent the genre of modern war photography while fueling the vicarious experience of the spectator by offering an approximation of life in the conflict zone." After Taro’s death, Friedmann would retain the name Robert Capa and go on to become recognized as one of the greatest photojournalists ever. In 1947, he cofounded the Magnum photojournalism cooperative, which included other great photographers, like Maria Eisner, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger, and William and Rita Vandivert. Madrid and Paris both named streets for Taro, Calle Gerda Taro and Rue Gerda Taro, respectively. Helena Janeczek portrayed Taro in her historical novel, The Girl With the Leica (1917). #workingclass #LaborHistory #fascism #nazis #antifascism #jewish #antisemitism #hitler #franco #gerdataro #robertcapa #journalism #photography #photojournalism #spain #civilwar #fiction #historicalfiction #novel #books #author #writer @bookstadon@a.gup.pe

#BigTech accused of stonewalling #European social media #researchers In the final weeks before Romania’s presidential vote in November 2024, #TikTok accounts that had previously spent years posting about manicures or fashion suddenly started promoting a little-known #politician named #CalinGeorgescu. His posts, espousing hard-line views on #immigration and anti-Semitic tropes, were viewed 120 million times before the vote. #Georgescu, who had previously been polling in the single digits, stunned observers by winning the election’s first round with 23 percent of the vote. #elections #antisemitism #romania #socialmedia https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/07/big-tech-accused-of-stonewalling-european-social-media-researchers/

re: "Western" science, Christianity, and magical thinking Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
"Magical thinking", as a term and a concept, exists because #magic is seen as forbidden. If magic were an accepted discipline in human society it would become formalized and tamed by the need for a collective set of ethics, as well as the necessity of interacting smoothly with the rest of society. But because mainstream Christianity has become terminally obsessed with mere secular dominion and absolute control over humanity, "Western" society regards magic as superlatively sinful and that attitude carries over into irreligious fields like science. Bigotry, most especially #antisemitism, plays a key role. One of the worst general slanders against Judaism is that Jews are doing evil magicks, am accusation that has been terribly inflamed by European occultists who feel at liberty to steal things from Jewish mystics.

"#Synagogues have cancelled services and diverted costs from other services to prioritise their safety in the wake of rising levels of #antiSemitism in #Australia, the Royal Commission has been told. #Sydney silk #RichardLancaster addressed the inquiry on Monday and spoke about the financial challenges synagogues have faced when it came to making their organisations safe. “Representatives of the #synagogue told of how they cancelled Friday night services because they couldn’t afford to pay a guard, and felt that they could not discharge their duty of care to congregants without one,” Mr #Lancaster said. “The Commission has received submissions from very many synagogues around Australia. A constant theme is the organisational time, energy and money that has to be committed to security.” https://www.themercury.com.au/news/breaking-news/synagogues-forced-to-cancel-services-over-security-costs-royal-commission-told/news-story/91a5be3e76116ca3acf7c48fe201accb

#JeremyCorbyn slams Starmer over false antisemitism allegations https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/corbyn-condemns-starmer-once-again-falsely-claiming-labour-was-institutionally-antisemitic from #MiddleEastEye on Telegram At his last prime minister’s questions on Wednesday, Starmer recalled his time in the House of Commons as opposition leader. “We had just lost the 2019 general election, which nearly broke my party,” he said. “We were found to be institutionally #antisemitic. I picked up our party. I turned it round. I made a promise to rip #antisemitism out of my party and I did.” Responding to the comments, Corbyn told Middle East Eye: “The prime minister today falsely claimed that Labour was found to be ‘institutionally antisemitic’ under my leadership. There was no such finding, and #KeirStarmer should have the decency to correct the record.” #AntiZionismIsNotAntisemitism #FreePalestine #news #politics #UKpolitics #Israel #LabourParty #palestine @palestine

More than 40 civil society groups across #Australia are calling on #universities to protect the #right to #peaceful #protest and #academic #freedom on #campuses as vice-chancellors appear at the royal commission into #antisemitism. The statement, signed by organisations including the #HumanRightsLawCentre (HRLC), #AmnestyInternational Australia and the #AustralianDemocracyNetwork, expressed “grave #concern at the increasing adoption by universities across Australia of measures that #restrict protest and related student and staff #political #speech”. A senior lawyer at the HRLC, #ReginaFeatherstone, said various anti-protest policies have had a “chilling effect on protest and #dissent on #campus”. The president of the #NationalTertiaryEducationUnion, which signed the statement, Dr #AlisonBarnes, said universities “should be places where staff and students can #speakfreely and organise without fear of #surveillance, #discrimination or other #adverse consequences”. On Wednesday, the interim vice-chancellor of the #UniversityOfMelbourne, Prof #GlynDavis, said #ProPalestine #SitIns on campus led to the institution “quite sharply” changing its protest policies and that further restrictions could arise. #auspol #KneeJerkReactions #Zionism
