And also needs to be said: the reason why the death toll in Gaza hovers at around 32,000 people is for the same reason the death toll from Covid during the Biden Admin stays at 800,000: because they took away any capacity to continue to count the dead.
Just a reminder that every state Biden won by a small margin was due to the turnout of young voters.
In this interview last week I said multiple times how activists in the Deep South often have so much more at stake given the rigid power hierarchy & racism. Violence is the default response. Now my alma mater’s proving me right: thisishell.com/episodes/1721?…

The answer is that the Israelis leading this genocide are not descendants of Holocaust survivors. Netanyahu's family wasn't even in Europe during the Holocaust. Ben Gvir's family wasn't in Europe. Smotrich's family wasn't in Europe. All of their families were settlers in…

This is a Morehouse student. He was brutally arrested yesterday for joining Emory students in protest of genocide and state violence. He’s still in jail. Emory’s shameful “outside agitator” narrative licensed GSP/APD to target Black protestors.

“They’ll say we’re disturbing the peace, but there is no peace. What really bothers them is that we are disturbing the war.” Howard Zinn 1971
It’s plausible that many of the police units cracking down on protests have trained with Israeli forces and shared information on pro-Palestine groups, as revealed by DDOSecrets and @guardian from the #BlueLeaks data. theguardian.com/us-news/2023/d…
ATLANTA—Emory University has told AJC & WSB-TV that those arrested today were not part of Emory's community. However, we have confirmed that three Emory faculty members were arrested, including the president-elect of faculty senate. Emory & police forces are lying to the media.
Oh look @EmoryUniversity is in the international press. The entire world is now watching. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
atlanta friends -- get to Emory right now if you can!!!! students being violently arrested, support desperately needed!!!
WATCH: Among those arrested today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University. I’ve asked for a comment from Emory on this arrest, no word yet. This video provided to us by an #Emory PHD student. You can hear him in this video. @ATLNewsFirst

I lost my job at a “progressive” think tank for this shit
@KeriLeighMerrit I fear this is 1968 all over again
And what makes those videos of the two professors at Emory so shocking for many is that they were also at work doing their jobs, checking on students, and they clearly believed that, as professors at work, they had some right to the space--and were met with police violence/work.
what we will inevitably hear is that the police response was “professional.” this is because policing is *violence work.* it requires dehumanization to be “professional.” This runs counter to every beautiful thing we do in the university
@Mel1612ancholia Talking to the police while an officer is kneeling on the head of a protester is not interfering, it is potentially preventing a murder.
Where do we go from here at Columbia or any other campus after repression of rightful protest against genocide has been policed by outrageous, unnecessary, and admin-sanctioned violence? There is no “normal” to which we can all return.
The answer is that the Israelis leading this genocide are not descendants of Holocaust survivors. Netanyahu's family wasn't even in Europe during the Holocaust. Ben Gvir's family wasn't in Europe. Smotrich's family wasn't in Europe. All of their families were settlers in…
As a Jew, I keep thinking that this horror is the evilest possible legacy of the Holocaust, that it could warp history in such a way that the descendants of those they tried to exterminate would themselves commit genocide. It’s so perverse it takes your breath away.
President @gregfenves of @EmoryUniversity should resign. Now.
@KeriLeighMerrit This is not the time for milquetoast liberalism.
If protests of whose language I disapprove are "maximalist" what are mass graves of Palestinians?
There are many people (and I am one) who oppose this war, are horrified by the way Israel is conducting it, and want a ceasefire + peaceful long-term resolution who also don't aim to see Israel destroyed. But a kind of maximalism seems to have taken over this movement, with calls…
@KeriLeighMerrit What did I miss?
@KeriLeighMerrit Yeah he's safely faded into irrelevance.
There are truly astounding layers of intellectual dishonesty in this tweet. They denied the Muslim woman valedictorian her right to speak because they feared she would critique US foreign policy. It is racist cowardice from an organization supposedly supportive of free speech.
"Hello class of 2024. Your family will be deprived of the chance to honor your achievements because a small minority of your classmates feel entitled to break the law in order to express their support for a foreign terrorist organization."
Let’s make a list of public/state schools with Gaza protests: 1/x
There have been a ton of Gaza protests at many state schools and even HBCUs but only the ones at NE/Ivy League school are always in the news. My theory is it’s because many U.S. news outlets are based out of NYC (and they employ many grads of those schools)
@KeriLeighMerrit Nothing more dangerous than a students who is asleep!
Following @ShillcockGeorge at OH right now, that its been an hour since police said the protest needed to end in 15 minutes, and its a reminder how arbitrary, made up by discretion, much of the "illegality" is and how they proceed, if at all
An Emory professor informed me that Noëlle McAfee and another faculty member are now home. And, that the university decided not to "press charges." Ridiculous, because how is it up to them? I've also learned McAfee is the President-Elect of Emory University faculty senate. 🤦🏻
Noëlle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at @EmoryUniversity Arrested by Atlanta PD officer in a balaclava.
It is long past time to discuss Biden's history of psychopathic desire for violence tbh
Biden is having his own Summer 2024 uprisings and he’s responding in the exact same way Trump did, when in all of 2020 he was blaming Trump, saying things would be different if he were president. Now there are student protesters getting beat up by police along with a genocide.
The biggest construction project in my town for the last couple of years has been the brand-new public library, and today's opening day! It stretches a whole city block! It's beautiful! And I'm so glad this is a priority in my town.
