I really enjoyed this informative conversation of Prof. Adnan Husain with prof. Ambereen Dadhabhoy about her book "Shakespeare Through Islamic Worlds."
"The conversation talks about history, geography, religion, race, Orientalism and the mobilizing of difference to set the boundaries and anxieties of Shakespeare’s dramatic corpus and its construction as the epitome of “universalist” literary genius in the English language."

I am often baffled by a mainstream media establishment that has learned the phrase "every accusation is a confession" by rote, but continues to report on TrumpWorld Republican efforts to transform US public education into a fascist indoctrination factory as if it were a parental rights, or religious liberty issue. These folks are openly and blatantly turning the odious and reactionary belief cluster around Trump's cult of personality into enforced reality, and while they probably can't convince *you* that up is down and fascism is freedom, they're determined to make sure that's the only reality your kids ever know.
I wrote about a recent example of this indoctrination project in action on NIDC, while examining the recent news that noted fundie fascist ideologue Ryan Walters has passed education standards that attempt to force teachers in Oklahoma to present Trump's 2020 election conspiracies (aka The Big Lie) as factual analysis.

Nina-Bytes: Poisoning the Well
"Folks who aren’t familiar with politics in Oklahoma or unhinged fascist cultists who worship Trump may not be familiar with state school superintendent Ryan Walters, but calling him an “ideologue” really doesn’t cover how entirely committed he is to Christian Nationalist ideology and the Trump regime’s enforced unreality. This is the guy behind Oklahoma’s wasteful and corrupt attempted purchase of Trump-branded Bibles, as well as a Project 2025-style plan to restore “religious education” to Oklahoma public schools. He’s also a big proponent of new innovations in trying to make state taxpayers support religious charter schools that will presumably teach Christian Nationalist doctrine. As the article notes, in addition to teaching the Big Lie as fact in Oklahoma schools, Walters also wants to teach kids that Covid came from a lab in China and “remove education about Black Lives Matter and George Floyd’s murder,” just in case you were worried he might not be racist enough. In other words, it’s safe to say that indoctrinating kids with horrifying reactionary ideas that support an objectively fascist agenda is Ryan’s jam."

@shoq It's evidence of not just Fine's blatant and extreme #Islamophobia, but also he #Antisemitism because Israel would also likely suffer from the radioactive fallout.
Virtually all of these trumpers are closet antisemites hiding behind the ruse of claiming to be stopping campus antisemitism by crushing free speech
The Netherlands provides a striking case study in the development of Homonationalist discourse. In the 1950s, it was one of the most Christian-conservative countries in Europe, but by the 1990s, it had gained a global reputation for its progressive stance on gender, ethnicity, drugs and sexuality.
However, it soon became a testing ground for Islamophobic narratives.

Please all come to the counter-protest that StandUpToRacism is organising this Saturday, 24th May at St Giles Cathedral at 11 am in Edinburgh to stop far-right that are coordinating a „Great British Strike“().
Today in Labor History May 20, 1949: The U.S. established the National Security Agency. Up until recently it was (and probably still is) the nation’s largest spy agency, in spite of massive cuts and mass firings by the Trump administration. The NSA currently engages in worldwide mass data collection as well as physically bugging targets. They were likely behind the Stuxnet software attack that severely damaged Iran’s nuclear program. The NSA spied on anti-Vietnam War activists and continues to spy on U.S. citizens. Many of their secret surveillance programs were leaked by Edward Snowden, who was forced to flee the country. He is now living in exile in Russia. Private companies, like AT&T and Verizon have collaborated with the NSA to help them spy on U.S. citizens. They supposedly have access to all communications made via Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo, YouTube, AOL, Skype, Apple and Paltalk.
I’d like to say the good news is that the vast majority of this data is pornographic. Problem is, they’re using people’s porn habits to discredit and embarrass them, particularly Muslim clerics and activists. According to a July 2014 report in the Washington Post, 90% of those being surveilled by the NSA are ordinary Americans, not intended targets. But since they’re surveilling every communication made by nearly everyone in the U.S., they’re surveilling pretty much everyone. So, the obvious question is: Why are 10% of all Americans (a full 33 million people) considered targets? And if there really are 33 million of us who are opposed the U.S. government, how come we keep ending up with such shit politicians? And this particular data was true prior to Trump taking office. One can presume that everyone who has ever said anything critical of the U.S., or Trump, is now in the crosshairs.

Modi is copying Netanyahu’s Gaza playbook, testing how much violence the world will tolerate. From Kashmir to Rafah, settler colonialism speaks the same language.

Prosecutors said the stabbing—one of the earliest & worst #HateCrime incidents in the US since the start of the #Israel #Gaza war—was sparked by anti-#Muslim hatred. US rights advocates have noted rising #Islamophobia, anti-#Arab hate & #antisemitism.
#JosephCzuba, who was the landlord for #HananShaheen & her son #WadeeAlfayoumi, stabbed the boy 26 times with a military-style knife with a 7" serrated blade. Shaheen suffered multiple stab wounds in the attack.
