#migration and #refugee scholars, I'm making a list of possible journals to submit an article on aging Jewish refugees in Shanghai.

(I've already published in a journal in Jewish history and would like to diversify)

I have Humanity; Journal of Refugee Studies; Migration Journal...

Our book is on its way to publication! “In the Shadow of the Holocaust” is a collection of short stories translated by me & Harriet Murav from Yiddish & Russian, written after WWII by Jewish writers from the Soviet Union.

Delighted that my essay, "Statelessness, National Sovereignty, and German and Austrian Jewish Refugees in China during and after the Treaty Port Era”, has been published!

A bridge between projects to help me think about statelessness more deeply. Thank you, Jay and Kolleen, for this opportunity!

All forms of antisemitism except for religious antisemitism to be unacceptable.

Ok… then what do we do if blood libels revive?

The wife of detained Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil says Khalil missed the birth of his first child after immigration officials denied his request for temporary release so that he could attend.
 
Reminder: Khalil is a legal permanent resident in the U.S.

State Terror A brief guide for Americans

Nailed. Required reading for all. If you aren't afraid yet, then you haven't accepted historical realities how a constitutional democracy can readily into state-sponsored terror regime with just the right people in right places within the bureaucracy.

Watch “Judgement at Nuremberg” (1961) and let’s consider a possibility of SCOTUS justices being tried. By, say, Europeans.

Rewatching Judgement at Nuremberg (1961). Not even 40 min in and I’m already unnerved.

I truly hope for our courts staying independent.

Word. Can’t beat American pizza and beer

The DOGE is racing to the bottom.

getting absolutely bodied every day by canada was not on my bingo card

Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.  Purpose and

This was on my bingo card. Undoing past century's worth of work done by women and African Americans, including WEB DuBois.

I won't tell you what's next but if you know me well, you already know.

Explain to me again how did musk get “elected” to the highest office with zero regard for the Constitution and national security? Also he’s not even US born.

It’s wild to see academic talks continue when there is a wildfire happening as if it’s business as usual.

Now it is not the time to toot your own own horn without engaging the public. This is why I’ve started posting on LinkedIn.

Is anyone not paying attention to domestic terrorists? Of course because they’re US citizens.

Let’s discuss privileges of citizenship, shall we?

I'm just a small-town professor. I'll never be a provost or chancellor. But here's some free advice: we're about to hold the most watched college sports event in 🇺🇸. Every college president should be all over TV, at every game, explaining why the March Madness of federal budget cuts is a huge crisis.

Seriously just fucking shut March Madness down

I cannot keep up with the grief of watching education getting gutted.

Bloodbath underway at Department of Education. I do not trust the DOJ to handle OCR cases.

Oh surprise. Woman from DOE saying that women and POC are disproportionately impacted by layoffs. White men, especially from certain schools, are surviving.

Trump is STILL - RIGHT NOW - tweeting about Tesla. He's spent more time protecting the richest man in the world's profits than he has protecting healthcare, education, jobs, or veterans in the last 6 weeks as president.

Marco Rubio Personally Signed Off to Detain Mahmoud Khalil on 'Foreign Policy Grounds,' Sources Confirm The government is staking its entire case to deport Khalil on whether Rubio “personally” thinks the Columbia student protest negotiator would “compromise” US foreign policy.

🚨 The Trump administration has Marco Rubio *personally* signing off on orders to deport Mahmoud Khalil, according to sources inside DHS & State Dept.

With no stated evidence of crime.

Source said the administration has “multiple targets” beyond Khalil to detain, in similar fashion.

Had the exact same conversation with mine when she insisted that I revealed what happened at the end at the end of the intro.

Me: But why give it away such details now?!

Editor: You need to give them a reason to read on to find out why and how X happened.

When DEI compliance goes way too far.

Makes me think that any book or film that has “gay” in it to mean “fun” way back when like Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby has been banned.

So how did I do with this bingo board I made?

If I’d had “Dem” instead of “Squad”…

Democratic Congressman Removed From Chamber After Protesting Trump's National Address "You have no mandate to cut Medicaid," Rep. Al Green yelled while pointing his cane toward Trump.

Thank you, Rep. Al Green.

Likely whittle it down to make it utterly defunct so that the Congress would approve its actual elimination. Who's gonna sue?
