Pure escapism. Detachment from reality. Political incoherence. Our academic and intellectual elites continue (not all or always but too often) to focus on unhelpful nonsense
Part of the problem on campuses now is that while presidents, administrators, and many tenured faculty became conformist, cowardly, and autocratic, and want their universities to be like them, the admissions people didn’t get the memo and kept admitting too many thoughtful kids.
White people in general don’t often scream “I’m a professor”. This is unhelpful, unkind, and irrelevant.

I used to think American elites watched Tiananmen Square with horror. Now I realize they watched it with admiration.
I asked @JosephEStiglitz, longtime @Columbia scholar and Nobel-winning economist, what the establishment doesn’t understand about what campus protesters are trying to say. the.ink/p/joseph-stigl…
This is not a good analysis and it is pernicious towards Holocaust victims and survivors. There is almost no connection between Israeli leaders today and the Jews who were victims of, or survived, the Nazi genocide, except in their use of the Holocaust as propaganda

BREAKING| Israel's army kills the eldest daughter of professor Refat Al Areer, Shaima'a, along with her husband and newborn baby, in a strike on an apartment in Al Rimal neighbourhood in Gaza.

We are going to continue seeing unrest like this at elite universities (and crackdown by moneyed authorities) simply because, in the larger scheme of things, the gap between places like Harvard and places like Gaza has become too great for any decent young person to tolerate.

Mr. Netanyahu, antisemitism is a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to millions. Do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government.
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.
It won’t
These elite university presidents and administrators seem to be some of the stupidest people on the planet
Incredible scenes
Liberals don’t seem to understand that the president right now, and for the past few years, is Joe Biden, not Trump

While everyone is paying attention to protests in higher ed, you should know that 800,000 people took to the streets in Buenos Aires this week to fight Milei’s cuts to free public university education in Argentina: english.elpais.com/international/…
It took a while, but the hysteria over campus protests finally led to journalists talking to the protesters (rather than caricaturing them)
Here’s an interview with a Columbia protester named Ava where she talks about why she’s there, anti-Semitism, and the historical echoes of this movement.
@moshik_temkin Hasn’t our country suffered enough since 2016?
When things get really intense and Miller’s permanent smirk seems at its most offputting, they send out Patel who looks like he’s being bullied every time someone asks a question.
Reporter: Evidence at Gaza mass graves show torture and signs of being buried alive, Palestinians called for an independent investigation, what’s wrong with that? Patel: We’re asking Israel Reporter: You’re asking the accused to investigate itself? Patel: We’re asking Israel
A very prominent form of #twitterstorian public engagement, directed at affirming the party line of corporate Democrats & MSNBC, has been exposed as completely inadequate to making sense of this moment.
In the midst of a mass slaughter (including 14,000 children) that may constitute genocide against Palestinians, here's a Harvard Law School professor using Google translate to conjecture that a sign in Arabic at a campus demonstration threatens Israeli Jews with annihilation.
3/ Millions of ordinary Jews live in Israel. What happens to them under "Palestine is Arab"? Israel has created a society w/ voting rights for its Arab citizens; how have Gaza and the West Bank done?
It was a movie Matt. And they didn’t have every dip shot with an iPhone trying to pick off fringe views.
One of the better parts of the recent Bayard Rustin biopic was the way it showed the emphasis that March on Washington leaders put on assembling a disciplined, on-message crowd in the face of what they knew would be difficult circumstances. slowboring.com/p/bayard-rusti…
Columbia and Cornell and UT Austin and other schools will perform sleazy land acknowledgements ad infinitum but when students and faculty protest the US authorizing and supporting a country in the process of stealing another people's land, they arrest them.
A man noticed that his neighbor’s cats were coming to his property to drink water so he set up a camera to see who else was drinking water...
The contrast between cops' rapid and violent dispersal of left-wing anti-Israel protests on public university campuses in 2024 and the leisurely, peaceful way cops dealt with neo-Nazis marching through a public university campus in Charlottesville in 2017 is pretty striking.
Ignorant and inflammatory. "Intifada" means uprising. The French and American Revolutions involved a lot of violence but using the word "revolution" doesn't mean someone is endorsing everything that happened in those events.
The “intifada” was a series of murders directed against civilians in Israel: buses, cafes and markets blown up. Now contemplate what “globalize the intifada” means when chanted over and over again by students (and their professors?)
She was exasperated seeing a student get violently subdued by police on her own campus grounds, identified herself as an employee of the university, and was then herself manhandled to the ground on the bogus charge of simple battery of a police officer for daring to question it.
I love how white people scream "I'm a professor," like that's supposed to make them immune to police brutality

Liza Minnelli has outlived Cricket, the helpless puppy that Republican Kristi Noem shot to death because the small dog was “untrainable.” The Vice Presidential wannabe also shot a goat that she called "nasty and mean.”
@moshik_temkin Moshik, you have been expressing difficult truths in the past 48 hours and it is comforting to me to see these connections being made.
A must-read essay by Ian Lustick revealing the lengths Israel's backers will go to silence anyone who challenges their narrative. Lustick is a remarkable scholar, and we should be grateful for his intellectual gifts, scholarly integrity, and courage. zenodo.org/records/110604…
If you are an academic lambasting the “white privilege” of the economics professor who got violently arrested while trying to intervene on behalf of a student also getting violently arrested, I’d kindly invite you to stop being an embarrassment to our profession. Please. Thanks.
@LHSummers Larry, your years of claims that you are an advocate for freedom of speech and expression are all claimed to be for nothing because as soon as an issue hits your cultural tripwires, you turn into an authoritarian.
