New Fascism SyllabusAs many of you may already know, attacks on scholars of the Holocaust are on the rise in Poland. The following is our Editorial Board's letter of support for Dr. Barbara Engelking and Dr. Jan Grabowski, along with all of their colleagues in Poland.

Thomas ZimmerOr think of the way “working class” is often just shorthand for “white people with certain reactionary cultural sensibilities” – as in: “The working class rebelled against the establishment and voted for Trump” – often entirely detached from their actual socio-economic status. 10/
Heidi Li FeldmanAn excellent essay from Catharine MacKinnon on feminism, trans people, and more. Don’t assume you know what she thinks. Read and learn. https://signsjournal.org/exploring-transgender-law-and-politics/ #LawFedi #feminism #women

Us: WTF. Republicans are trying to eradicate trans people just like Nazi Germany in 1933.
GOP: How dare you! We would never try to eradicate trans *people*. Don't be silly! We want to eradicate the entire *idea* of trans people.
Us: Ok you see how that's worse, right?
@krisnelson yeah Wolfe coined the phrase and was the most influential theoretician of it. Also, I am told, was a very good man and very active in support of indigenous peoples in Australia.
@WhenISayJ @krisnelson settler colonialism can also lead to apartheid as in South Africa and Israel/Palestine. Usually when the indigenous population is larger and not easily exterminated or when the international community won’t allow it
@krisnelson I tend to agree with Patrick Wolfe’s labor/land division. The American settler collective replaced Natives for their land but still needed black Americans for their labor, thus they constructed blackness around the one-drop rule, so that there will be more of them, but allowed more racial hybridity and assimilation when constructing Indigenous racial characteristics so that they will more easily disappear. Does not always hold, but quite incisive nevertheless
Cassandra GoodSince it’s teaching eval season again, just a reminder that numerous studies have shown that these evals measure bias, not teaching effectiveness. Their use in for anything beyond feedback directly to the prof—ie tenure & promotion—is legally dubious, professionally irresponsible, and ethically wrong.
So, read yours with a glass of wine and a whole shaker of salt. Solidarity to all the women out there who get comments on being motherly or mean, well-dressed or unattractive, too challenging or a push-over.
