Our time on this earth is so brief. We might as well be brave.
Thread... While media is demonizing Muslims & the left as "antisemitic," I looked up the ADL data on antisemitic hate crimes. ADL data goes back to 2002. If you had to guess what % of antisemitic hate crimes were from Muslims vs Leftists vs Right, what would you guess? /1
Now more than ever, we see why the humanities matter. You aren’t going to get the critical analysis of institutions when everything is STEM.
He should check what is happening on Gaza college campuses. Oh wait no he destroyed them all
Institutions will protect themselves before they’ll protect you.
@azaizamotaz9 and Najla Said, daughter of the late Edward Said, have arrived at Columbia’s solidarity encampment in support of the student movement
Two months ago I asked Zionist academics on here why I haven’t heard them speak out against Shai. My comments were full of defenders of a man calling for arrest of students, calling them terrorists. We’re focused on the individual & not the silence & racism enabling him.
Anyway the last time I gave a talk in person at Columbia a white Jewish faculty member spent our science discussion time asking me which parent was the Jewish parent and how I had “acquired” Weinstein
If there are no questions, there are no answers. If there are questions, then, of course, there are answers, but the final answer makes the questions seem absurd. ~Cage, "Lecture on Nothing" in Silence, 118
wtf is the point of having a tenure track job if you can’t even stand in solidarity w/ your students?? Like wtf are we even doing if we’re not helping them fight the good fight? Isn’t that what teaching is about? Taking what happens in the classroom and applying it to the world?
Yesterday a Famous Sociologist wrote “What does donning kafiyyahs [🙄] symbolize if not siding with the politics of Hamas” The Kuffiyeh predates the state of Israel. It’s been a self determination symbol since the 1930s. Stop sounding stupid on top of being genocidal.
The “care for students” era in higher ed is over. Time for the “solidarity with students” era.
Colombia’s treatment of its students shows that universities are not organized for intellectual & political rigor nor care; but rather corporations that serve the interest of elites. Young people should not be treated like this.

Are there ANY deans standing up with students and faculty? Asking for a friend ….
Really makes you wonder what these universities are so afraid of and it turns out the answer is, on at least one level, education
If you’re bothered by snipers on American colleges campuses, but were never bothered by US snipers across the Middle East and Africa, you cannot help free Palestine until you come to terms with this colonialism and white supremacy inside of you.
The police seem to have retreated for now, but will likely be back at some time. I am going to go home to get some sleep so I can be on shift tomorrow, but there are EJP professors on shift over night. We keep each other safe. Goodnight, Northwestern!
philosophy chair getting arrested, an econ prof getting her head smashed against concrete, a street medic being held down and tased, snipers setting up vantage points to shoot at ohio state students -all because of nationwide protests against a genocide- you SHOULD be radicalized
airport border officer asked me "do you think people are born self-interested" after I responded "going to an academic philosophy conference" to the question "where are you going"
Turns out the big threat to students wasn't chatgpt; it was the administration.
whenever you post basic facts about Israel a guy’s in the replies like “counterpoint: I have been propagandized to the point of delusion.” and I am sad for u but i do not necessarily need this information
Others have said this better but I truly don't think people are remembering that many of the students protesting now, have never expected cops to protect them. They have grown up doing school shooting drills and they know if something happens, no one is coming. They're prepared.
USC went from cancelling their valedictorian’s commencement speech on a made up claim of safety, to canceling all commencement speakers, to canceling commencement altogether—all to prevent the student USC educated on genocide studies from applying her USC education at USC.😑
If you’re faculty at a university where there are protests, remember there are lots of ways to support, publicly & privately, tenured or not. Here’s a few: -Know your faculty rights & rules -Amplify protest info on your social media, privately to colleagues or in class
Hearing someone say plaintively ‘I am a professor’ while the cops smash their head in the ground is exactly the red meat a lot of people in this country are craving. It makes me sick, but there you go.
@MiddleEastEye Here’s @EmoryUniversity economics professor Caroline Fohlin knocked to the ground with her head on the concrete. Her glasses are thrown off. She shouts “I’m a professor” #Gaza #Protesters
The institution will not love you back. It will also call the cops on you, taze you, beat you, gaslight you, and cancel your graduation.
Anytime students break out of the 'customer' role that financialized universities expect them to passively inhabit, they have to be policed - indeed, violently - back into what administrators consider their proper place.
@JarrelTJohnson How do people on this app know whether you have been vocal about anything? They are not with you 24/7. They are not in your classroom. They are not on your campus. Social media gives people a false sense of reality.
I wonder what everyone was doing during the Iraq war protests. I was a teaching assistant at the University of Iowa. Half of my class participated in the protest. I traveled to several states during the Red for ED protests.
They are not protecting their peace or comfort. That is far from the truth. They are issuing incompletes to students who are protesting to protect their financial aid. They are making lists of students to write recommendations for after this mess.
They are being forced to help in situations whether they agree or do not agree. From what I know, they are cautioning universities about their approaches as everything hits national news.
They are also mindful of the people at the institution who literally don't want them in those spaces doing daily advocacy. Therefore, they are not leaving anymore room to have their emails scrutinized and to not get emails from admins about 'special meetings'.
These are professors who had the Klan call their home after doing community engagement. These are professors who had threatening phones calls after releasing research findings of pivotal studies. These are professors who have been followed on campuses. Yet, they keep showing up.
