They’re normalizing making resistance to the state illegal and telling you that they’re fighting fascism.
We are spiraling toward an outcome in which students could be murdered all because universities would rather send heavily militarized police forces to disrupt encampments than stop funding a genocidal colonial project. The blood will be on their hands.

A whole lot of people who've spent years calling the younger generation "snowflakes" now apparently want armed guys in riot gear to protect them from teenagers sitting peacefully on the ground
“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
Think about how fast this country sent hordes of riot police with tear gas, batons, and tasers to arrest anti-war students & their teachers. Now think about every medical bill you've paid, every homeless person you've seen, every school that relies on bake sales to buy supplies.
This week, you’ve been shown again that you actually don’t have the right to protest war and genocide. In cities run by Democrats, at liberal institutions, under the lesser evil president.
When UC campuses were becoming hubs of activism in the 60s, then Governor Ronald Reagan’s aid advised him to “Make them pay. Put them in debt. They’ll quiet down.” He obliged. Tuition hikes and the student debt crisis were spurred intentionally as tools of political repression.
Just had explosive interaction w/ @Columbia’s heightened security coming onto campus. They followed me to my office & then lied, saying I didn’t scan my ID for entry (I did) & I pushed an officer (I didn’t). An ugly scene followed. They did this to me, a tenured, full professor.
With all the attention on Columbia students right now, you'd think they were murdering 300+ people and leaving them in a mass grave near a hospital they bombed. They didn't. But Israel did. Columbia should divest.
Might sound weird, but I think thousands of kids at elite universities from immense privilege risking their (earned or unearned) status for the lives of people they will never meet is breathtakingly beautiful
Do admin realize that by repressing our students they have done more to organize faculty and staff as a political unit than we could have ever dreamed otherwise? The political connections we are building with each other won't go away when this genocide ends.
They want to use debt to control your speech. To control your life. News flash: it’s not just student debt.

Imagine if a mass grave of hundreds of “Israeli” civilians was found bulldozed into the dirt after a Resistance retreat, mutilated, hands tied, evidence of torture and execution, the elderly, women and young children among them. It’d be plastered on every front page for months.
it is very clear that the vast majority of people still genuinely think that adhd is just a minor annoyance and it’s like no my brain physically never stops, i am unable to do things, i am constantly overwhelmed, it’s not just “no big deal” !!!!!!
love how Greta Thunberg became a vocal anti capitalist and immediately vanished from every single large news outlet 👁️
i want to remind y’all that so many of the students participating in — and sometimes leading! — campus protests for palestine rn are jewish. the tired “zionist = judaism” narrative keeps attempting to erase this fact. we out here
The least safe moment on Columbia's campus over the past 6 months was when former Israeli soldiers launched a chemical attack on the students in January. But you want to chastise peaceful students sitting on a lawn. You're not fooling anyone. You're just embarrassing yourself.
NYU faculty creating a ring around the Gaza solidarity encampment to protect their students after the school threatened mass arrest. So beautiful.
I can’t stand when people dismiss TikTok as some vapid dancing app. There’s a reason the government wants to shut it down and it is bc of its power to inform, educate, and bring us closer together. “My world is bigger. My views are bigger.”

@emmadeady I cannot love this enough and yet feel so sad
When I speak on campus, I ask what % of the pro-Palestine protesters are Jewish. Usually, Jews are overrepresented. Sometimes they're the largest identity group. Maybe folks calling for cracking down on protesters in the name of Jewish safety should consider their safety too
Imagine if a mass grave of hundreds of “Israeli” civilians was found bulldozed into the dirt after a Resistance retreat, mutilated, hands tied, evidence of torture and execution, the elderly, women and young children among them. It’d be plastered on every front page for months.

@emmadeady If they really wanted to protect kids & people, they would ban snapchat & introduce regulations forcing Meta & X to stop hate speech. That's not what this is about.
If capitalism in decay leads to overt fascism (it does), then what role do you think liberals (who are committed capitalists) are playing in this transition? If you're not sure, a cursory glance at the past 50 years should provide you with a definitive answer.
None of what’s happening right now was predetermined. It could have been avoided every step of the way over the last 75+ years had Western imperialists not done everything they can to establish and prop up a fascist settler colonial project.
BREAKING: Palestinians in the West Bank have begun tearing down Israel’s apartheid wall. Iran’s counterattack has inspired an uprising.
If more people wore the keffiyeh in public we wouldn’t have this asshole commenting on one of the humans I know standing against genocide. Normalize being against genocide ffs.
Objectionable and unparliamentary attire. Your tweet is worth 240 characters. Your picture is worth one thousand words.
Admittedly, idk what this is subtweeting. But you CAN be asexual “for a time.” Sexualities are fluid. People can move in and out of them. Many asexual people feel they’ve always been and always will be asexual. That’s valid, but it’s not universal. (🧵)
That thing saying most of the time, one can be asexual "for a time" is confusing asexuality (an orientation) with celibacy (abstaining from sex).
