Today Mumia Abu-Jamal has turned 70 years old and has been incarcerated for over 42 years. He has been intentionally medically neglected. The prison conditions are designed to slowly kill those who who are incarcerated. 🧵

For the first time in a long time things are beginning to feel the way they are supposed to feel in a country that is facilitating a genocide.

It's actually not hard to understand at all if you pay attention to policing in the U.S.! This is standard policing, not an aberration.

It is STRIKING to me how people—usually the white philosophy types—turn to rules quick AF. I don’t know who this person is, but she has no clue what resistance is.

It’s only hard to understand if you ignore the entire history and structure of policing.

i find it really intriguing how the south’s student activism never gets as much media attention as other regions. day 28 of Vanderbilt’s encampment and i only read about it being the first university to start one YESTERDAY.

Can’t believe how quickly this generation of college students went from being characterized as lazy, unmotivated and unprepared to accomplish anything to a posing such a threat to their elders that they must be subdued by snipers and cops with cuffs and clubs.

do you know how painful and alienating it is to sit in a faculty meeting where no one, no one at all, seems to care about the genocide being funded by their tax dollars? do you know how brain melting it is to have to disassociate on a regular basis just to survive these spaces?

Anti-blackness is so rampant that nobody has to chant it into existence

I want us to recognize and understand that this is all happening under a Democratic president.

Obama’s legacy was no different. Under the “first black president,” cops openly declared hunting season on black people (and that hasn’t stopped).

Liberals are unserious.

The reality is this: the law is meant to protect and sustain antiblackness and empire. That’s it. Wanting lawsuits in response to what’s happening is, at best, a small recompense. What is needed is something else.

should have been made unwelcome uncomfortable and to kick rocks but the paralysis of civility wins again

Any university that allows snipers on the roof of campus buildings in response to a nonviolent student protest is not place of higher learning.
