Imagine a Jew in Germany being forced to use a Euro bearing Hitler’s face?

Trump has decided that Harriet Tubman will appear on the $20 bill as soon as  Jesus Returns. This fulfills one of his campaign promises because, as he describes the Taubman bill, she is ugly and only on the $20 because it is politically correct.  MNUCHUN: “The primary reason we have looked at r[...]

Where would you have stood?

The redhats have fellow travellers. Perhaps these are good people but they excuse Trump by saying he is just like every other politician.  After all, look at how we have survived other Presidents.  They think I am too upset by Trump and the redhat brigade. MAYBE. Where would you have stood? Andrew[...]

Is Trump a Fascist?

Sighhh …  Trumpists take offence at that name and the analogy to brownshirts by .saying Trump has not killed Jews.  That is true. It is also true that Hitler had not killed any Jews in 1932 and there were Jews Nazis at that time.  Nor has Trump placed immigrants on Dachau or declared war on[...]

When the Lawyer is A Jew, a Woman and a Muscogee American

So often, scholarly inquiries into the lives of Native people focus on the past. Very few books are written about the intellectual lives of Native people or the future of Native people. I would like to be part of developing a field of “Mvskoke Studies”––which would parallel other areas of in[...]

Is Trump Hitler?

No, but Trumpism IS FASCISM The Trumpies are so desperate that they insist that their leader is not Hitler.  They are correct.  Trump doesn’t hate Jews or, probably even hate Mexicans.  But he does foment hatred and his policies are fascist. Fascism was not originally about race or mass sla[...]

Of Kushner and The Portrait

Jared Kushner often poses before Andrew Jackson’s portrait in Trump’s version of the oval office.  Why Trump chose Jackson is obvious.  Jackson was a racist and an imperialist.  Unlike the Founding Fathers who drew inspiration for American democracy from tribal cultures, Jefferson believ[...]

Response to a Trumpie

Roy Hjalseth a Trumpie and (sic) gun nut on FB, is calling me anti American and a pro communist because I see the 21st century, post Trump, as Chinese.     My response:  YOU are and have been very, very anti American. That is what Trumpism is.  Your leader stands against free speech, freedom fr[...]

Small d democracy in the US is failing.

The Hill, a right wing news site, has a frightening view of the future of the Democrat Party.  I agree with The Hill. This failure is not because of resurgence of populism as in the era of Trump’s beloved Andrew Jackson.  Americans do not want slavery, bible fanatics are not a majority, and [...]

TRUMP TWEETS: bizarre claim about avoiding the Civil War

In an interview with the Washington Examiner’s Salena Zito, our president-historian posits that the war might not have happened if only Andrew Jackson had still been around. The whole thing apparently could have been avoided if only we had a bona fide negotiator — someone more up to the tas[...]

189th Anniversary of the Inauguration of America’s “First Trump.”

“This is like Andrew Jackson’s victory. This is the people beating the establishment. And that’s how he [Donald Trump] posited right from the beginning, the people are rising up against a government they find to be dysfunctional. And yes, it’s a defeat for the Democrats, but [...]
