good reminder from @robertwrighter: Whatever your ethnicity and ideology, your social media feed, unless you’ve taken countermeasures, is basically a machine that scans the planet for the video snippet that will most outrage you and then presents it to you as if it were typical.

100+ people were arrested at Columbia University when police forcibly cleared a student protest demanding the school divest from Israeli occupation. Democracy Now! spoke to @CornelWest, who teaches at the Columbia-affiliated Union Theological Seminary and joined the students.
It seems that @nytimes journalists keep leaking to @theintercept... A leaked internal Times memo told journalists to refrain from using the words "ethnic cleansing," "genocide," "refugee camp," & "occupied territories." theintercept.com/2024/04/15/nyt… theintercept.com/2024/04/18/nyt…
Israeli Gov just annexed 8K hectares of Pal land in WB, evicting Pals from E Jerusalem. Ministers live in illegal settlements, endorse wiping out Palestinian villages & settling in Gaza. Lesson? *Take annexationist pro settlement Gov seriously/literally.*

No idea who made this but I'll feely admit that they've looked straight into my soul with that article title.
Had a blast doing the teach-in. The students (lots of whom were Jewish and none of whom seemed to love Hamas, contrary to prevailing cable news narratives!) asked good, smart and searching questions in the Q & A. The way this movement is being smeared is genuinely infuriating.
On the train to Princeton, putting the finishing touches on my talk:
Tomorrow at 11 AM in Toms River, NJ I'm going to be the keynote speaker at the state convention of the Green Party of New Jersey. Very different from an academic presentation ofc but I am planning to sneak a little Analytical Marxism into the talk--specifically, Erik Olin Wright.
Well, this is what Columbia had to do because the encampment violated the all-important principle of Every Student Having Access to Every Inch of Campus at Every Moment.
sorry, for those who don't understand: Columbia faculty, staff and students have not been allowed on campus since Tuesday. The gates are closed. Our ID cards have been deactivated. We can't access buildings, classrooms, library, or our offices. Admin has shut the university down.
Yes, it was Qatari propaganda that made me think it's bad for the US to help Israel displace millions of Gazans from their homes and kill 14,000 children in 6 months. Doubtless I'd be extremely proud of my country for participating in that if not for Qatar controlling my brain.
@BenBurgis You're just another smart person who speaks no Arabic nor Hebrew and thinks he understands what's going on in a war riddled with hate in the middle east. The impact of Qatari propaganda on perceptions will take years to completely unmask.
My latest in @jacobin:
College students are right to raise hell about the genocide in Gaza. But the momentum can’t stop when the semester ends. jacobin.com/2024/05/campus…
"Who would perform better at a hot dog eating contest?" Trump: 58% Biden: 13% Echelon / April 14, 2024 / n=1020
The dumbest reactionaries always end up replicating the worst features of their “woke” ideological enemies—e.g. casually attributing political disagreements to racism.
I would definitely be down on attending Dr. Burgis’s course on combating Je- … I mean “Israeli” rhetorical tricks.
Extremely pleasant surprise from my main academic employer:
Average hourly wage increased at just a 2.8 percent annual rate over the last three months -- pretty hard to fit that one with the wage-price spiral story. With profit share rising in Q4, should be concerned about wage growth being too slow.
@dancing_prawn @sentdefender More than half of the population of Gaza weren’t even born when Hamas came to power. How are they responsible?
Hey everyone. Apropos nothing in particular, did you know that if you hate a social movement, you’re much more likely to perceive it as violent? Even to the point of “remembering” violent acts that never really happened? It’s true! journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

The head of the ADL thinks it's fine to accuse *some* Jews of being agents of a foreign power.
"Iran has their military proxies like Hezbollah, and Iran has their campus proxies like these groups, like Students for Justice in Palestine, Jewish Voice for Peace." -Jonathan Greenblatt, Anti-Defamation League
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
A CNN crew witnessed at least two professors detained by Atlanta police, including @EmoryUniversity economics professor Caroline Fohlin and Noëlle McAfee, chair of the philosophy department. #FreePalestine cnn.com/business/live-…
Google, what does "intifada" mean... ......... Oh my god. It's Taylor. It's always been Taylor.
💥This girl was arrested after shouting "Ben Gvir is a criminal!" by the police now run by the criminal (convicted 13 times of hates crimes & terror.)
I don't think the conclusion that civilian casualties are grossly inflated follows, nor that it's likely to be true (you reach similar numbers using proxies and not just UNRWA casualties, though I also don't find the argument that it's a bad proxy convincing), but I think this…
“Here’s the problem with [Gaza Health Ministry] data: The numbers are not real. That much is obvious to anyone who understands how naturally occurring numbers work. The casualties are not overwhelmingly women and children, and the majority may be Hamas” tabletmag.com/sections/news/…
The original now-deleted tweet was posted almost eleven hours before this one. In that time hundreds of people replied to point out the many absurdities of the original list (for example: x.com/mattpolprof/st…). His only edit when reposting it was to not double-count Foucault.
Postmodern NeoMarxists: Ibram X Kendi, Ta-Nehisi-Coates, Robin DiAngelo, Kimberle Crenshaw, bell hooks, Andrea Dworkin, Naomi Klein, Catherine McKinnon, Judith Butler, Jacques Derrida and, perhaps above all, Michel Foucault. This list is not complete.
After: –US stopped funding UNRWA amid allegations against 0.04% of staff & other countries followed without evidence –Israel reportedly tortured UNRWA staff to coerce false confessions –Congress banned UNRWA funding for a year …a UN report finds Israel hasn't given any evidence
The US continues to suspend funding UNRWA — a UN agency that aids Palestinian refugees — and now moves to ban funding for a year as 1.1 million people in Gaza face famine. As Israeli accusations remain unproven, other nations have reinstated funding. Read:theintercept.com/2024/03/22/gaz…
