Grateful Jacobin published a brief excerpt from the intro of my book, Citizens of the Whole World. There are a lot of ways to read the cultural history of the American Jewish left, and one I would discourage would be, "see there are some good Jews out there" 1/5 🧵
In the last year and a half, thousands of left-wing American Jews have protested Israel’s crimes against Palestinians. They are taking part in a long tradition of anti-Zionist Jewish radicalism in the United States. jacobin.com/2025/07/baltha…
On the question of Zionism and solidarity with other oppressed ethnic and religious groups, there is a straight line from the the Jewish communists of the 1930s and ’40s through the New Left to left-wing Jews protesting the Israeli genocide today. Read: jacobin.com/2025/07/baltha…

Before planners and property developers turned Manhattan into a sterile playground for the wealthy, it was the site of extraordinarily creative art and music scenes. Critic J. Hoberman shows us how New York thrived in the shadow of nuclear war. jacobin.com/2025/07/nyc-av…
Why is it so hard to imagine a world where care is free, universal & unconditional? Because the current system teaches us that care must be earned, health is a private matter, and dependence is failure. Health Communism traces the roots of that lie and how people have fought it.

When virally shared Trump, the surreal "Riviera of the Middle East” clip portraying Gaza as a beachfront utopia of corporate peace and real estate investment was met with outrage, satire, and disbelief. But the outlines of that fantasy are becoming disturbingly real.

what a great review. i really appreciate the nitpicking.
I wrote this about why you should read Jasper Bernes's new book The Future of Revolution. (In the 2nd half I nitpick on a few points in a spirit of 'let's run with it in THIS direction, not THAT one'. That matters less, the main point is read the book!) buttondown.com/nateholdren/ar…
I really liked the book & reckon it’s both useful & provocative. Gonna be doing a reading group on it in coming months in the gong - along with some of a commie essentials the book covers. I also really like this review, which is clear & has its own very useful ideas in it.
