Happy birthday, Leon Czolgosz! (May 5, 1873) :antifa_100:

Born into a #working class Polish-American family and hailing from Detroit, Leon Czolgosz began working at a young age, taking factory jobs in the heartland of American industry. Exposed to labor #radicalism through strikes at the factories where he worked, Czolgosz began exploring socialism and eventually turned to #anarchism, although his shy and awkward nature made it difficult to form connections with other radicals, who assumed he was a police agent. He did make the acquaintance of prominent anarchist Emma #Goldman, and after learning of the assassination of King Umberto I of Italy, Czolgosz came to agree with the anarchist philosophy of “propaganda of the deed,” the use of #directaction, including the targeted killing of #political and #economic leaders, to serve as #revolutionary example and inspiration. Czolgosz put this philosophy into action on September 6, 1901, when he killed President William McKinley with a concealed pistol. He was executed for the murder, but remained steadfast and unapologetic. Contemporary reaction to Czolgosz actions among the radical left was mixed, but among the modern left he has attained the status of a veritable folk hero.

“I killed the President because he was the enemy of the good people, the good working people. I am not sorry for my crime.”

Proofing at the moment - should be out with @ucdpress in late Oct / Nov #WilliamSharmanCrawford #Ulster #Radicalism #IrishHistory #Crawfordsburn #SharmanCrawford

“So radicalism is discontentment with things as they are. Upon opening her mind, the radical perceives that something is amiss, and she finds herself unsatisfied with the existing state of affairs.”

Sometimes the gradual implementation is more concerning than the spur of the moment.

"The man accused of fatally shooting five people in Philadelphia Monday night told police he carried out the shooting to clean up the neighborhood...

"Authorities are now looking into a since-deleted social media believed to have belonged to the shooting suspect... that featured several posts about guns, the 'loss of freedoms' and the Second Amendment, according to a source. The page's most recent public post, made at 10:49 a.m. ET Monday, included a video ad for a tactical weapons accessories company that showed a man in tactical gear holding what seemed to be a military-style rifle. The suspect also shared posts in May from pro-gun groups that supported the Second Amendment and former President Donald Trump.

"Another social media post from last month featured a video mocking a speech by President Joe Biden, captioned with [the shooter]'s belief that Biden was trying to 'take our arms.' another post from the same June day read[,] 'The only thing more terrifying than blindness is being the only one who can see.'

"Gracie Mae Bradley speaks to Sita Balani. They explore the legacies of queer liberation struggles on contemporary class politics, and the ways in which queer radicalism has expanded notions of liberatory politics in the everyday. They also discuss the radical potential of the trade union movement, and unpack the material roots of an ongoing transphobic moral panic."

There is no good news in this, but I am glad to know there is something called a “Section 177 letter” that School Districts can use against these extremist assholes to keep them away from of school property and events. These people have been so radicalized that they attack anyone they think might have the slightest link to the LGBTQ community. #transrights #pride #extremism #rightwing #radicalism

To understand the #radicalism of this move,keep in mind the posture of this case.The question before the appeals court wasn’t about who was right or wrong in the challenge to the #FDA’s approval of #mifepristone…Rather,the immediate issue was whether the court should halt #Kacsmaryk’s ruling from taking effect in the interim
As the opinion itself noted,“we grant stays‘only in extraordinary circumstances.’”Then it proceeded to blow through nearly every ordinary barrier to upsetting the status quo

@KatM @bleakfuture @drclareharris Women in the U.S. as much as women anywhere shouldn't have to be terrified by anti-constitutional male white totalitarian supremacists trampling on not only womens' human rights!

@Saysdana How can defensive democracies handle cases of anti-constitutional & anti-democratic radical extremists in public office?

They can remove extremists from public office per issuing a "Berufsverbot", professional ban.

THE #CHRISTIAN #RIGHT ALONG WITH EVERY OTHER #CULT IS A MORTAL DANGER TO EVERY #RATIONAL, #THINKING MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD AROUND THE WORLD!

One common approach sees the movement in terms of right-wing #radicalism, #subversive at best, #militant and #dangerous at worst. Others depict the Christian Right more benignly as an effort to preserve real or perceived traditional values in the face of modernity in general and modern secularism in particular.

This is very good! Christoph Schuringa on #radicalism, #analyticphilosophy, and #McCarthyism. A really good explanation of why working in academic philosophy can be an alienating experience even today.
