I want to offer this as resistance escalates on college campuses. as a former activist & organizer, as someone who has been ringing the alarm since pre-2020 about the rise of fa*cism, I implore those of us who work with students to consider the following as we fight back. 1/n
Michigan has more severe racial disparities in its health care system than other Great Lakes states, with Black residents experiencing the poorest outcomes, a new national analysis shows. BridgeDetroit contributor @e_catolico reports. bridgedetroit.com/michigans-heal…
Demetrio Jackson said he couldn't breathe as officers pinned him down. Then a medic injected ketamine. He was among dozens of people who died after they were chemically sedated during police encounters, an AP investigation finds. apnews.com/article/invest…
remember: we could have simple, straightforward, at-home tests for everything from influenza to RSV to Covid, but capitalists in the US have made sure we have to get sick & expose others if we need medical care absolutely no reason we don’t have the bottom right test here 🤷🏻♀️

I think X did this on purpose. to disrupt communities / connections to "water down" our "power" in this space... and I'm using X as opposed to Twitter in this context ... i'm intentional with my language here...
A Detroit Documenter captured the scene inside today's Wayne State University Board of Governors meeting.
I'm writing about brave students and #Ferguson activists who led an #OccupySLU campaign in STL and camped on campus for 6 days. There's room for critique, but I respect that admin listened to faculty who advised not to arrest peaceful protesters not harming anyone. #Lesson
Can we talk about the IRONY that campus sexual assault is dealt with through laborious internal processes, a surfeit of "due process," and overwhelming fear of Type I error, whereas peaceful protests apparently warrant immediate external policing?
“I feel that the Black woman in our nation, the Black working woman is perhaps the most discriminated against of all of the working women, the Black woman." — Coretta Scott King During an address in solidarity with 1969 Charleston Hospital Strike.

I'd like to see some more confirmation of this, but if it is indeed real, this small detail is actually a major escalation. It's why it drives me nuts when liberals say, "Oh isn't terrible what DeSantis does to colleges," as if such moves won't spread. Here they are. At Brown.

Detroit set a new attendance record of 700,000 for the #NFLDraft @GovWhitmer took the stage to announce the news.
“Students protesting the Vietnam War recognized that their universities were thoroughly entangled with the military-industrial complex, and that this entanglement was actively corroding the intellectual and cultural life of campuses.” bostonreview.net/articles/the-r…
slate.com/business/2024/… An amazing article by @byjoelanderson discussing Caitlin Clark, Molly Kazmer, and Slaying the Trolls! Who is Molly Kazmer? If investors were emotionally invested in women's sports (like they are for men), you would know the answer!
“I JUST DON’T WANT THAT FOR MYSELF ANYMORE” is a valid enough reason to stop fw anything .
one of the greatest lessons i’ve learned in organizing is to not blame people for being surprised when they find out how bad the world is, even when it hits them late in life. not people who feign ignorance, but people who are truly surprised
Once you reach a certain age, a great way to go through life is, whenever you hear young people saying something that challenges you or that you don’t understand, presuming they may have a point and becoming curious about what you may not see. Just be curious. Avoid obsolescence!
we need an energetic movement full of people who can say that they used to be wrong, confused, or ignorant about lots of things. we need that level of humility in our organizing. this is what political education is about
Weird. In 2009, Kavanaugh wrote a law review article specifically contemplating criminal prosecutions for Presidents after they leave office, and noting that this possibility provides a check on a “bad-behaving or law-breaking” President. I guess he just changed his mind for some…

Folks be radical scholars at conferences and silent when it’s time to actually speak up. This is exposing so many levels fraud in the academy.
We're learning that universities' embrace of the corporate-derived ideology of "diversity, equity, and inclusion" is not the same thing (and, indeed, subverts) democratization.
Sure- you're right..."Ideas born in the ’60s, subsequently refined and complicated by critical theory, postcolonial studies, & identity politics, are now so pervasive and unquestioned that they’ve become the instincts of students who are occupying their campuses today." Too bad
Please identify even one “antisemitic mob”. What we see are students protesting the tens of thousands of civilian deaths at Israeli hands — as should every decent person of good will. It is a lie to equate opposition to the Israeli political state with opposition to Judaism.
Why are our elected officials silent on the antisemitic mobs running wild on campuses? I am calling for the entire Wisconsin delegation to condemn these acts. Our Republicans are on board with condemning this hate, will my colleagues; @tammybaldwin, @RepGwenMoore, and…
Do yourself a favor and read this whole thread by @spelmandiva. Then thank her for it, as I am doing right here this Saturday morning.
I swore I wld not respond to this. I really did. But i'm so irritated by this, I just cant help myself. How about you read and reflect on why 2 white men agreeing about post 60s change in the unv might agitate my black, working-class, civil rights parents, lady parts.
…when they are trying to construct a new future. (See: 19th C Radical anti-slavery activists). Or when they are trying to claim the stated ideals of democracy and equality (see: 1950s and 1960s Civil Rights activism). As just two examples among many.
Thank you @spelmandiva @davidwblight1 I’m happy to discuss these criticisms and others made by Packer’s essay any time you’d like, historian to historian, just on the history. Because nonviolent protest, from boycotts to sit-ins, are called destructive…

Thank you @dem8z for calling it out & @HilaryGreen77 for letting me scream SO MANY expletives in ur ear. I hope to see more responses now & later. Too many battles ahead to be silent abt putting up with this shit. As ol' ppl say, I sho done & As kids say, come get sum. 🧵 end
Dear Black Studies colleagues, when you build a PhD program in Black Studies through the interdisciplinary training of being housed in English, Anthropology, Political Science, History, etc., what is being messaged to institutions, peers, and students is that Black Studies as a..
A reminder to protesters everywhere: Know your rights.
Jerry Seinfeld is on the New Yorker Radio Hour blaming "the extreme left" & "PC crap" for why there are no sitcoms anymore. Not streamers or any systemic reasons that we *just* saw at play with the WGA strike. Just "The wokes won't let us make comedy anymore." Absolute brain rot.
While the media ignores them, students at community colleges ARE protesting genocide too. They have far fewer material resources to leverage but are just as important. I’ll flag them in this 🧵 as I learn about their efforts. #GazaSolidarityEncampment #CeasfireNOW
Community College of Denver joins #GazaSolidarityEncampment 📣📣📣 (I’ve been to this campus- it’s shared space with several universities, which is quite cool)

we will have to get guerilla with our tactics and move away from representation and celebrity/clout chasing if we truly want change. when confronted with the possibility that you might lose everything, including your life, how would you fight? what/who would you protect? 12/n
the veil of the liberal academy has been torn. we know the truth now. things will never be what they were. being “seen” as an activist is all well and good but are you prepared for the repression? are you prepared for the toll this work will take on your spiritbodymind? 10/n
anyway, I say all this to say: how are we preparing for the reality that mass arrests and protests are psychologically & physically violent b/c protestors are facing militaries with massive budgets and unchecked power? what will be the aftermath for ALL of us? 8/n
