I just started reading "Safety Through Solidarity, A Radical Guide to Fighting Antisemitism, by @shaneburley.bsky.social & @benlorber8.bsky.social and it's very good. Just what I needed to read right now. Thanks to @blbalthaser.bsky.social for sharing about it on fb -- it had not been on my radar!

I co-authored this deep dive into the ADL's Antisemitism Audit data and found a lot of problems: conflation of antisemitism and anti-Zionism, ignoring structural factors, focusing on graffiti, and undercounting white nationalist incidents. jewishcurrents.org/examining-th...

I was interviewed for this and basically said what was obvious: the super rich attack labor unions is basically a Fascism 101 tactic.

My latest is a look at billionaire-led efforts to dismantle the National Labor Relations Board. Most people don't seem to know this is happening, and I find that really concerning. @shaneburley.bsky.social also weighs in with some anti-fascist analysis.

Billionaires' Blitz: The Battle to Dismantle Worker Rightsorganizingmythoughts.org “If there was ever an example of corporations participating in historically fascist tactics, going after labor unions would be it,” says Shane Burley.
