The white left often assumes we can fight racism by appealing to white workers’ material interests and how these are harmed by racial division, but this ignores how whiteness functions. This naïveté is a constant Achilles heel for cross-racial movements timjacobwise.substack.com/p/racists-ar...
It happened again...another white activist pretending to be a person of color/marginalized identity. Whyyyyyyyy...just stop y'all. timjacobwise.substack.com/p/why-do-som...
This is the symbol of the Jewish Labor Bund: the universalist, socialist group my great-grandfather supported, the vision of which was always more liberatory than Zionism and which we need to recapture now as an alternative to this death cult timjacobwise.substack.com/p/breaking-f...

Zionism as Psychological Projection Please give this a listen. I know this will be hard for some folks to hear. But it is said with love. We, as Jews, need to have some difficult conversations. They are overdue. They will not be easy. This is part of it timjacobwise.substack.com/p/zionism-as...

"The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran was unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US mainland within the next decade." So why do it? "A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..." Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Renee Good's last words were "I'm not mad at you" to the guy who shot her. Yet MAGA calls her a "radical lunatic." Meanwhile, here is the person they hail as a martyr and patriot. This unhinged freak. youtu.be/twQ5BEFlNCQ?...
My victim impact statement, delivered in the sentencing hearing for a Nazi terrorist who was just sentenced to 30 years for a number of crimes, including plotting to have me killed, among others. timjwise.medium.com/heres-what-i...
Irony: if Charlie Kirk had been speaking in Chicago, L.A., etc., they'd have swept the rooftops and had tighter security. But Utah? Nah...So, the myth of white innocence, which he believed in, got him killed. Fascinating. My latest piece explores this, below... timjwise.medium.com/the-myth-of-...
And finally a piece in which I don't mention Kirk at all, but address one of those issues he was particularly obsessed with and hateful about...trans athletes medium.com/@timjwise/th...
And another one, offering a theory of the motive behind the killing of Charlie Kirk, which holds that it was only marginally political, and really based more on intense and almost entirely personal passions, disconnected from any larger political project. medium.com/@timjwise/th...
Here's a piece responding to one of Kirk's many absurd positions: that testosterone is linked to voting behavior medium.com/age-of-aware...
Next is, I think, an important piece about the silos people are in, which keep millions of people from knowing what most of us on the left know about Kirk, and why humility about other people's knowledge base is important. medium.com/@timjwise/ma...
Next is my piece replying to the notion that Kirk was some kind of Socratic intellect whose penchant for debate was genuine, or that debate itself is a positive way to de-escalate political tension. It's not, but I offer an alternative... medium.com/@timjwise/ch...
Then, my piece responding to calls for "toning down the rhetoric" in the wake of Kirk's murder... medium.com/@timjwise/ca...
Next, the first piece I wrote after Charlie Kirk's killing. More to follow, in which I respond to his awfulness directly. But the day it happened, I felt it necessary to say this for both moral and practical reasons. medium.com/@timjwise/no...
Then here's my piece rebutting a common right-wing talking point, which they use to downplay the extent of racial inequity in earnings and employment... medium.com/@timjwise/ed...
Been neglecting to post here lately. But I'm now going to post the essays I've written in the past month in the order I wrote them. Beginning w/this one on how the Labor Department has consistently minimized the extent of racial disparity in unemployment medium.com/@timjwise/he...

So we've reached the Holocaust denial phase of Elon's racism. Seriously, time for this guy to be financially and reputationally destroyed beyond repair. He is officially the worst person on the planet www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...
