This applies to political scientists too who claim to study the resurgence of the far right from a "neutral" "objective" position

If you're a biologist, especially one in a field that has a history of eugenics and racism (which absolutely includes my own field of evolutionary biology) and you choose to remain "neutral" as race science once again crawls out from under its rock, you are not in fact neutral.

Listening to an interview w Andy Burnham where he talks about the importance of Catholic social teaching on his own sense of formation - fascinating to think there could be a Catholic PM at Westminster on the anniversary of Catholic Emancipation and Daniel O’Connell taking his seat

Understanding that fascists are serious—they genuinely want a world where anyone who isn't straight, cis, and white is dead, and are actively working to build that world—is what drove me to change my career from physics to journalism, and start investigating and exposing as many of them as I could.

I grew up in Kyiv, 10 mins away from Babi Yar. In 1941 Nazis told Jews to go to the ravine to check in and maybe get deported. September 29–30, 1941 almost 34,000 people were shot and dumped into the ravine instead.
