- Reposted by Dr Jaime AshworthNo water, no heating, no power, -15 degree weather outside. It is not on the front pages of your newspapers, but Ukraine is living through a humanitarian disaster right now because of Russian bombardment and the world has barely noticed.
- He should know better. “Globalise the Intifada” isn’t slogan to end suffering, it’s a call to expand it.
- Shabbat Shalom one and all. Wishing colleagues in Holocaust education a particularly peaceful weekend after the week’s activities.

- The death of Alex Pretti was murder. The attempts by administration officials to brand it otherwise tells us everything we need to know about their fitness to govern. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
- Ahead of Holocaust Memorial Day next week this from Primo Levi seems to speak to the moment, notwithstanding claims by some that the Holocaust is beyond politics. Shabbat Shalom one and all.

- Alternatively, consider seizing the means of production.
- Reposted by Dr Jaime AshworthI wrote about how concentration camp regimes evolve and why it's not too late to stop this, even though we are deep in it now.
