Putin and Trump are both fascists, @TimothyDSnyder writes. Their use of the word to refer to their enemies is one of fascism’s essential characteristics: a fascist does not serve the language; the language serves him. nyer.cm/TlOg49f

So grateful to @GoldRosie, @DamZolt, Yael Ben Moshe,& @mpeterdavidson for joining Joachim Lang& I in Berlin. Listening to them talk about „The World Wars of Disinformation & Demagoguery“ and ‘Führer&Verführer’ has been for me one of the intellectual highlights of the year so far.

I have just finished reading this fabulous book. It is superbly written, full of raw emotion & fantastic detail. The last chapter is phenomenal - and a very difficult read in light of current events. @mpeterdavidson #books #holocaust #reading

In the @BBCPanorama at nine tonight on our school abusers there is an extraordinary sequence in a South African courtroom where @bikingpastor sits a few feet from the man who abused him when he was 9. He cried but he was calm and controlled - What would you have done? Me? Dunno.
Not the nostalgic journey back to halcyon school days I wd wish on anyone, but I can only toast those Edinburgh Academy contemporaries who suffered at the hands of two monstrous teachers, but who have campaigned so hard to have the last word, and let the daylight pour in.

A country addicted to cover-up. Since this story went up yesterday, I've had a dozen more disclosures about abusers in schools whose activities were ignored.

Chris Killip’s In Flagrante is a masterpiece of photojournalism.
Poetic, and often heartbreaking, it remains the most important photobook to document the devastating impact of deindustrialization on working-class communities in northern England in the 1970s and 1980s.
Wow - reeling at the commendation - many thanks and so glad you found that it spoke to you.

If you really want to know what happened in Israel, watch this: the most painful video I’ve seen yet. Terrified Israeli family being held hostage by Hamas terrorists after they killed one of the sisters of the little girl. 💔

1./ Is the Russell Brand takedown a plot by the mainstream media? Of course not. In Plain Sight was a rigorously constructed and brilliantly made example of British current affairs documentary-making; in the finest tradition of @C4Dispatches.

1/2 Hermann Beck's 'Before the Holocaust' deserves the widest readership possible. It demonstrates that antisemitic violence in 1933 started much earlier than previously believed,that it was more widespread, & that many Conservatives & leading Protestants willingly colluded in it

For more than 40 years, Norma Percy has sought the truth through making her documentaries.
Can her method resist the world of social media and “alternative facts”?
