It is absolutely incredible that University presidents across the country, as well as our politicians, have screwed up so badly that they've led Columbia students in 2024 to build a weeks long encampment and occupy the same building that was occupied in 1968. Masterful failure.
NEW: Student Gaza solidarity protests/encampments appear to have reached ALL continents but Antarctica 🤯 A brief 🧵:
I took this picture eight years ago in Kassala, Sudan near the border with Eritrea. I could write a thousand tweets and I would never be able to fully capture the kindness with which I was received everywhere I went in Sudan. Please do not abandon Sudan.
CUNY rank and file faculty just voted unanimously to support the five demands of the CUNY students and to protect the students including holding a picket tomorrow !
Je présente mes plus profondes condoléances à la suite du décès tragique d'une dizaine de combattants du groupe d'autodéfense Ghandakoy. Ils ont perdu la vie courageusement, armes à la main, en défendant leur terre dans la zone de Wabaria . Suite à une attaque d'hommes armés .
what constitutes a polity, how it is governed, what institutions structure social norms, economic exchange, power relations —that was the core knowledge for extraction Who do we consult/kill/pay to access the resource? If they don’t exist, then it’s free to take
My favorite story in The Nuer is in the very beginning when Evans-Pritchard is sitting in his tent, lonely, because no one wants to talk to him; they’re bitter because they’d just lost a battle to the British. They did bum tobacco off him, tho, in exchange for very basic info

Worth noting that the 1800 MK84 2000lb bombs the US rushed to Israel in order to bomb refugee tents have an effective *lethal* blast radius of 366m, or 1/27th of the width of the Gaza Strip.

Was just doing research and found this quote by former Biden official Dr. @AnnelleSheline who resigned over Gaza. "I have a young daughter. She’s not yet 2, but if some day in the future, she is learning about this and knows that I was at the state department and she asked me…
that manufactures crises in order to sustain itself. Resilience celebrates survival at the expense of justice. It is the rhetorical and symbolic symptom of the normalization of injustice. 3/4
It brands our survival, making it an object of fascination for foreigners and inspiration for locals, advertising it as a valorized mode of attachment. Resilience is a marketing stunt for a political and economic system that runs on crises, 2/4
The word "resilience" makes my skin crawl and I have been seeing it on here over and over again. In search for an antidote, I re-read this excerpt by writer Sara Mourad, written in the aftermath of the Beirut explosion: "Resilience romanticizes our loss and dispossession. 1/4

Here's one of his poems
Rich didn't read theory or history. He lead with his ears and his heart and he wrote poems. And he listened to the poems you wrote. And he held readings for people to read poems together. And sometime's he'd sing "Ain't No Sunshine" a cappella and everyone would clap.
He truly was a comrade to anyone working toward justice. When Occupy popped off, he went down there. He was frequently in attendance at Black Lives Matter actions. In recent years, he had become very concerned and motivated in combatting transphobia wherever he encountered it.
He was a regular guy, he held many jobs, and wrote poems daily. Most recently he was a youth mental health counselor. He enjoyed a good laugh. He was a very realistic Met fan and a loyal Knick fan.
A dear friend of mine passed away recently and you should know his name. His name was Rich Alexandro. He was the best listener I've ever known, a Met fan, and a poet of the spirit, of family, of remembrance, the borough of Queens, and of better worlds than this one.

This header/subheader couplet perfectly captures how liberal ideology operates. Liberalism relies on a split between its professed commitments to moral and legal order (header), and the unlimited violence it metes out to the (neo-)colonised and exploited (sub-header). 1/2
The CIA director reported that Ghana "had only a 50% chance for an orderly development. "Vice President Richard Nixon then offered his opinion of Africans: "Some of the peoples of Africa have been out of the trees for only about fifty years".
Allen Dulles, the Director of the CIA, explained to the US National Security Council the position of the CIA: Africa's chances of "orderly economic development and political progress towards self-determination [were] just about nil".
In 1959, a year after Ghana became the first African nation to gain independence, the CIA created a dedicated Africa Division. This division aimed to, by any means necessary, secure and enforce American domination across the entire continent🧵🧵

In 1986 we occupied the Dean’s office & built a shantytown in @Harvard Yard to force the university to divest from companies profiting from apartheid S. Africa. They threatened us with expulsion. We said, “F*uck you, we won’t do what you tell us.” Students! Thanks for keeping…
