I witnessed what’s going on here when it happened in Hong Kong, when it happened in Cairo, when it happened in Gezi Park — those were much MORE disruptive. If people who defended those protesters aren’t defending these students right to protest, it’s a clear statement of values.

Columbia allowed lengthy encampments before exactly on that lawn without calling the police. Campuses have protests all the time. “We don’t like your protest especially since it struck a nerve more broadly” is the classical authoritarian move.

Many people don’t like THESE protesters and their cause and want the state to crackdown on them and arrest them—thus ending their protest. That’s a common response from those in power to protests they dislike. Just say that, imo. Leave free speech to its actual defenders.
Both historically and globally now, US officially defends and celebrates protests much much more disruptive than these. Students aren’t always strategic or maximally informed on their protest topics but youth do have a superpower: they can smell hypocrisy from a mile away.
People who think students should not ever protest — here or anywhere else — should just come out and say so. That’s a coherent position. But please do stop defending highly similar protests elsewhere and in history while claiming these are somehow very different. They’re not.
“Here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city which is to come.” The peak of faith, at least as understood by Christian readers. Any other stance reveals something else entirely. Not many believers are willing to take that stand against worldly powers. Small wonder why.
The single most jarring thing I’ve learned from social media time and time again is that so many people *sincerely* cannot imagine that anyone would simply care about other humans

This entire thread is so uninformed and ahistorical. College students have always been politically active and that has never magically disappeared after they graduate. Kwame Ture literally became involved with SNCC and the civil rights movt when he attended Howard University.
So many people, organizations, etc rallied around Jamal Khashoggi’a c when he was killed by Saudi Arabia. Promises to defend Arab journalists and freedom of expression in the Middle East. Now so many of these some entities are silent as journalists in Gaza face slaughter.
1/7. Right-wing justices postulate Trump's "immunity." The objection is that this makes him a king. Not so. It's much worse.
College media outlets are the most truthful historical record of their universities. Your timeline right now is full of their reporting as they cover the encampments and protests across the nation. This *is* essential local news.
There's a particularly toxic defense of Israel - a genocidal, racist apartheid state, to make it clear -- that I've seen more and more lately. It's one that treats all regional Arab cultures and cuisines as one monolith. As if people from Morocco, Palestine, Yemen, Egypt,…

Seriously, my entire life I've noticed this discrepancy. More recently, from Charlottesville to Jan 6 to the Klan rally in Nashville, I've only ever seen this energy from authorities be used on legitimate nonviolent protesters posing a threat to institutional power.

Columbia allowed lengthy encampments before exactly on that lawn without calling the police. Campuses have protests all the time. “We don’t like your protest especially since it struck a nerve more broadly” is the classical authoritarian move.
@zeynep @NAChristakis Isn't a reasonable free speech standard here (permitting many notable campus protests!) that "24-7 encampments that interfere with the use of publicly used spaces are not free speech" (more precisely, can be barred by acceptable time/place/manner restrictions)?
Many people don’t like THESE protesters and their cause and want the state to crackdown on them and arrest them—thus ending their protest. That’s a common response from those in power to protests they dislike. Just say that, imo. Leave free speech to its actual defenders.
Both historically and globally now, US officially defends and celebrates protests much much more disruptive than these. Students aren’t always strategic or maximally informed on their protest topics but youth do have a superpower: they can smell hypocrisy from a mile away.
My office was right by the encampment, and I cannot understand how it interferes with exams. It’s that little red circle. Not a single notable the protest in the history of modern protest would meet the requirements of “acceptable” protest from many past free speech advocates.
One cannot disrupt the ability of one's fellow students to take exams or graduate with impunity. It's common courtesy and common sense. Such imposition of costs on one's fellows is not free expression.
NYT arguably threw the 2016 election to Trump because of its shitty coverage, which was also driven by the petty personal prerogatives of the higher-ups at the paper. It was a fateful dereliction of duty with deadly consequences for millions of people. Zero consequences for NYT.
Today's politico-media environment: no one who does shitty things ever faces any accountability; no one who acts decently or tells the truth or passes pro-social policy is acknowledged or rewarded for it. The incentive structure is almost perfectly upside-down.
@NAChristakis @ZaidJilani Do your principles include opposition to the mass slaughter taking place in Gaza (and to a lesser extent the West Bank), and the rendering of 2 million people homeless, not to mention the literal physical destruction of every university campus in Gaza? If not, then your…
People who think students should not ever protest — here or anywhere else — should just come out and say so. That’s a coherent position. But please do stop defending highly similar protests elsewhere and in history while claiming these are somehow very different. They’re not.

@SophietheBear1 it's been really hard to write and law at the same time. really hard. just to have the headspace to step back and think. you are so right.
@writeclimbrun Most lawyers think they have a novel in them. For most, it stays there. I know only one who got it out while still practicing. So I say consume all the art you can and don’t flog yourself to produce until you can take a healthy break from lawyering.
question for all of you writers: can consuming art make you better at creating it? I love narrative and stories (all forms and genres - plays, TV shows, novels, movies, etc.) - I partake but am aggressively untalented at creating. how do I get there from here? #WritingCommunity
