@DeanBaker13 @DavidAstinWalsh He's done nothing but rhetorically support the reasons for cracking down on the protests and provide negligent neutrality on the issue of whether to use police to do so. He has more power than any other person in the country to prevent this, and he chooses not to.

In this News Brief, "Campus Anti-Genocide Protests and the Weaponization of Squishy, Bad-Faith 'Safety' Rhetoric," we discuss Establishment reaction to pro-Palestinian protests on US campuses, from liberal handwringing to police crackdowns to therapy-speak soundcloud.com/citationsneede…
Outside the White House Correspondents Dinner, protestors commemorated the more than 200 Palestinian journalists killed by Israeli forces
We spent weeks documenting airstrikes in southern Gaza and found that civilians were killed in areas the Israeli government had explicitly designated as safe zones. Our exclusive report👇

A key thing to understand is that Joe Biden is the central figure enabling and facilitating genocide in Gaza. Whether others would do the same thing in his position or do something even worse, he is the one actively doing it. And he should be treated in exactly that way.
President Biden averaged 38.7% job approval during his recently completed 13th quarter in office, which ended April 19 — lower than any president since Dwight Eisenhower, Gallup reports: news.gallup.com/poll/644252/bi…

2K Followers 1K Following Social epidemiologist studying eviction, segregation, policing, & health. 🏳️🌈 (he/him) Always learning how to care for plants & people 🐋This really could not be more simple. Forcibly occupying private space is illiberal coercion, not protest. Imagine dozens or hundreds of people sitting in a business — a department or drug store, perhaps — and refusing to leave unless their demands were met. Not to be tolerated.
A question I'd ask the American political elite is how many students and professors are you willing to beat into a pulp in order to shield Israel from perfectly legitimate criticism based on widely shared principles?
Shocking footage shows several officers at Washington University St. Louis beating a professor, slamming him, and dragging his limp body. SIUE history professor Steve Tamari is reportedly hospitalized with broken ribs and a broken hand. One doctor told him he's lucky to be alive.
@DeanBaker13 @DavidAstinWalsh He's done nothing but rhetorically support the reasons for cracking down on the protests and provide negligent neutrality on the issue of whether to use police to do so. He has more power than any other person in the country to prevent this, and he chooses not to.
partisan politics, legal formalism front row kid stuff & class solidarity is breaking the brains of high status liberals in ways most will look back on with shame. I don’t have a Whiggish, arc of history view of the world but i think US media this past few months will age… badly
I think the moral content of a protest matters, I think it’s the single most important thing actually, and the elaborate media pseudo debates about tactics, electoral impact etc—where we discuss everything but the moral content—is because the righteousness of the cause is obvious
I'm not even sure whose values are being appealed to half the time. If people were really worried about "violence," they'd be objecting to the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
Folks should be careful about conjuring standards that determine whether someone is deserving of police violence. It's enough to say that the people protesting a genocide should not be harmed.
Noticing some folks reasoning that particular students don't deserve a militant police response bc they are "peaceful." I don't care if students break windows, shove back, or throw things; none of them deserve a militarized police response. They're protesting a genocide.
I am going to become the joker
On tonight of all nights, NBC Nightly News (whose anchor was yucking it up with Biden the other night at the WHCD) aired a segment about how Russia is using “AI bots” to “fuel unrest” in the US over Gaza. Beyond fucking parody. Cc @SanaSaeed youtu.be/sD0lMjSk6g8?si…
All this to defend a government that's killed 34,000 people with billions of America's own dollars
The police violence inflicted upon my friend Steve Tamari for standing against Netanyahu’s genocide is indicative of the brutality communities face around the world when they dare to demand peace & justice, from St. Louis to Gaza. We need peace, diplomacy and a #CeasefireNow!
Shocking footage shows several officers at Washington University St. Louis beating a professor, slamming him, and dragging his limp body. SIUE history professor Steve Tamari is reportedly hospitalized with broken ribs and a broken hand. One doctor told him he's lucky to be alive.
This is to defend oligarchy and a genocide.
@wsbgnl I noticed a couple of weeks ago Biden rescinded the last few executive orders that dealt with covid. What a horr9ble excuse for leadership.
Columbia still has its official website up lionizing the protesters of 1968 who occupied university buildings to protest the Vietnam War until the NYPD, in Columbia's own words, "stormed" campus, creating a "fallout that dogged Columbia for years." news.columbia.edu/content/new-pe…
BREAKING: Student protesters occupying Hamilton Hall will face expulsion, University spokesperson Ben Chang wrote in a Tuesday press release. l8r.it/bqBu
Note—this was all *before* the encampment protests began:
Columbia University hired private investigators to pursue pro-Palestine students. Vanderbilt University canceled a divestment vote, then expelled students after they protested. Pomona College sent police officers in riot gear to arrest 20 students. @prem_thakker reports,…
Faculty everywhere: more of this, please.
NOW: Columbia University faculty link arms and form a wall in front of the entrance to the ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment’ as hundreds of students encircle the both lawns Students remaining in the encampment were told they could face disciplinary action after 2PM
If someone within a mile of a protest says something offensive that’s an indictment of the entire movement but if an Israeli official says they intend to turn Gaza into a “slaughterhouse” or “erase it from the face of the earth,” well, that’s just a bit of heated rhetoric
It was amazing, if not surprising, how little thought anyone on stage at the White House Correspondents' Dinner paid to the 97 journalists killed in Gaza since Israel began its siege. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
Protesting, to Serious Media Guys, is like a space capsule entering the atmosphere. It has to be at the exact speed and angle or the cause (which, they assure you, they vaguely care about) blows up. Somehow existing movement are never calibrated to their preferred inputs. Oh well
