The baba at USC who showed up to support his daughter at the encampment came with his own baba. This is what it means to be an elder. It’s not simply being older. It’s about being wise and mature enough to model how to live on the Earth and to let the youth inspire you to action!

Today's the day! We can't wait to celebrate North Carolina's educators of color, starting tonight with our first-ever #TeachingInColor Educator of the Year awards!
A generation that has grown up through the Great Recession, school shootings, & COVID are looking desperately to not replay the disasters of their Boomer grandparents & GenX parents.

Yesterday, John McWhorter, a linguist who the NYT gives space to opine about racism, wrote an op-ed that declared the Columbia protests to be “abusive” to Jewish students, and placed the blame for that abuse on “anti-racist academic culture.” I have thoughts.🧵
We don't have to imagine a self-serving hypothetical. When I worked at the University of Tennessee, actual nazis twice reserved a room and gave speeches. The police *protected* the nazis, ensuring they were safe and could speak.

The University of Texas, which mass arrested protesters, has a video promoting free speech saying that anybody from the public can come to campus and engage in protest. They delisted the video from YouTube and turned off the comments but I'm posting the whole thing here.

NYU faculty creating a ring around the Gaza solidarity encampment to protect their students after the school threatened mass arrest. So beautiful.
🔥 A memorable March: We joined forces with the Golden Door Scholars at the #NCCDA conference to guide undocumented students towards higher education & careers. 🦋 Barriers exist, but so do opportunities. Thanks to advisors who strive to turn dreams into reality! #northcarolina
🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 As of this morning, UNC Charolette has begun their Gaza Solidarity Encampment in CHHS/Coed Plaza! SHOW UP AND BRING SUPPLIES!!
The third annual #TeachinginColor Summit kicks off this Friday! See y'all there 🙌🏾 eventbrite.com/e/829029699147…
professors of color get emails when they teach about race because it makes white student’s uncomfortable, but this professor is literally saying that Muslim students existing is a problem. How is this person allowed to be anywhere near a campus???

In an attempt avoid their tents from being seized, students put their tents on chairs as to “comply” with administration. When police and UNC facility crew came to forcibly remove the tents, protestors collectively lifted up their tents and marched around the quad.
On this day in 2007, a Georgia high school held its first integrated prom. White parents still held a private, white-only prom, and some barred their children from attending the integrated prom. calendar.eji.org/racial-injusti…

This is many things but one of them is that this is so embarrassing for Columbia and its faculty. They are suspending students for … camping out to end a genocide. Imagine hating your students this much

BREAKING: UNC students and community members have begun a tent encampment on Polk Place this morning, joining the pro-Palestine encampments happening at universities across the country. This is @emmymrtin with live updates.
Uber driver: Sorry, no ingles. Me: No hay problema. Como estas? Uber driver: Ma’am, I’m sorry. I just don’t feel like talking. 😂😂😂
The baba at USC who showed up to support his daughter at the encampment came with his own baba. This is what it means to be an elder. It’s not simply being older. It’s about being wise and mature enough to model how to live on the Earth and to let the youth inspire you to action!
And this proud, steadfast baba was at the protest with his baba. Beautiful intergenerational support for Palestine.
Today's the day! We can't wait to celebrate North Carolina's educators of color, starting tonight with our first-ever #TeachingInColor Educator of the Year awards!
A generation that has grown up through the Great Recession, school shootings, & COVID are looking desperately to not replay the disasters of their Boomer grandparents & GenX parents.
A generation that has grown up in peace and prosperity jonesing for the rush of having their own version of the 1960s, and looking desperately to shoehorn every cause into a replay of what they think their boomer grandparents were doing
Any university that allows snipers on the roof of campus buildings in response to a nonviolent student protest is not place of higher learning.
Yooooo. This NAACP event on DEI bans I was speaking at tonight just got zoom-bombed by racists. I can't lie I'm a little shaken up.
Reunited & it feels so good! A fun night of celebrating recent @epfp_iel NC graduates & alumni! Thank you @theNCForum NC EPFP for hosting this great event! #proudalum #advocacy
Every time there’s a shocking & violent police crackdown against protesters in this country, there are people who describe the scenes as resembling what some other, repressive, non-democratic country does, and I’m begging them to consider that this very much the USA.
Cops DO NOT belong at universities. Cops DO NOT belong at high schools. Cops DO NOT belong at middle schools. Cops DO NOT belong at elementary schools. COPS DO NOT BELONG IN OUR SCHOOLS, ON OUR CAMPUSES. #CopsOffCampus
Yesterday, John McWhorter, a linguist who the NYT gives space to opine about racism, wrote an op-ed that declared the Columbia protests to be “abusive” to Jewish students, and placed the blame for that abuse on “anti-racist academic culture.” I have thoughts.🧵
For those at private institutions: You can request records from *all* publicly funded agencies (including law enforcement and local government) to see what conversations have been happening between them and a private university through official channels including email and text.
We don't have to imagine a self-serving hypothetical. When I worked at the University of Tennessee, actual nazis twice reserved a room and gave speeches. The police *protected* the nazis, ensuring they were safe and could speak.
"If campus officials imagine that they can accept dozens, scores, or hundreds of chanting pro-Palestinian protesters setting up tents on a campus quad, would they show the same grace toward students wearing MAGA hats engaged in the same behavior? If students in their tents were…
The University of Texas, which mass arrested protesters, has a video promoting free speech saying that anybody from the public can come to campus and engage in protest. They delisted the video from YouTube and turned off the comments but I'm posting the whole thing here.
All I’m saying is keep that same energy, because what you allow to the least protected even here on this land will surely come find its way to you. It is all connected. Free Palestine, free Congo, free Sudan and all who are displaced.
This statement from Emory University protestors is incredible.
Talking about "peaceful"-ness is unuseful right now. If you find yourself starting to do it or notice others who do, stop & consider whose peace is being centered.
Stranger: what are you studying at Duke? Me: I work here in the math dept. Another stranger: what year are you in school? Me: I actually graduated undergrad 13 years ago. I work here in the math dept. Another stranger: we have free cotton candy for students today Me: …
Sorry for your congratulations
