Ben’s historical analysis reminds me why the far right is so busy gutting universities — it wants to wipe out historical perspectives that differ from its own.
Thanks for writing about this, Ben. It is so profoundly disturbing. Even as that Tufts student was being kidnapped and stealth-transported to a hellhole in Indiana, my Turkish grandson and legions of other youth were being pepper-sprayed in Istanbul, and about a couple thousand arrested....We are in the Time of the Dictators. But it will not last, it is unsustainable. I think we're beginning to see the crocuses of resistance. We are in 'jumptime" (as Caroline Myss would put it). So maybe this is the last gasp of the patriarchy, and the oligarchy it gave rise to, which is now throwing the tantrum of all tantrums--a last stand. Then--if it doesn't do us all in first--there will arise a saner system. May it be so.

Well written, researched and highly relevant. Plymouth needs to read itself for such unlawful attacks
