Just an enormous amount of effort expended in the last two weeks — and the last six months — to mystify, exoticize, overcomplicate and otherwise deny the simple explanation that this is happening and a lot of young people are powerfully and sincerely motivated to stop it.

“It can be difficult for those inundated by Gaza images on social media to remember that wide swaths of the US population have never seen them, and likely never will.” nplusonemag.com/issue-47/the-i…

An anecdote passed down to me: once when the New School was occupied by students, members of the grad faculty met in a hotel room to decide what to do. When the police were mentioned, Hannah Arendt said, *in German*—'you never call the police.'

wowwwww 😑
Yeah, we’ve got to be honest that our problem(s) are rooted at the top
Widespread corruption & no regard for public will

Here’s what Khan Younis looks like now after 7 months of genocide

I think people need to watch this. A few times actually. Then they need to go back and watch footage from Ole Miss during the 1962 desegregation conflict.

And then they should really sit with a dawning realization of where we are and where we’re heading.

Can we talk about who is actually unsafe

Israel’s US-backed obliteration of Gaza is on a scale unseen since WWII.

The UN says it would take until at least 2040 to rebuild the homes destroyed if the war ended today, and called the scale and speed of killing — 5% of Gaza’s population killed in 7 months — “unprecedented.”

The police did a school shooting.

The President of UChicago has just signaled over email he will be intervening to end the encampment. He says he met with students. Let’s recap his bad faith efforts:

Yes this is true in Greece as well, and was in Lebanon during the 1982 Israeli offensive…is this true in other countries?

I know it doesn’t matter, but it does anger me to see pictures of the trashed camp circulated as proof that the students don’t care about their community. As a moment’s reflection would tell you, police forcibly removed the students. What you see is the result of forced removal.

my advice for students undergoing disciplinary action from their universities: you can waive your FERPA (educational privacy) rights. This will allow your student conduct proceedings to be public. You can have the press attend. The proceedings can be live-streamed.

Racism is over yet someone keeps teaching white children all the most racist tropes from 1898 🤔

Parents join your kids at these protests. It will be much harder to disregard their concerns if another generation or two pop up

What the police did at UCLA last night was sickening.

'The bourgeoisie of the whole world, which looks complacently upon the wholesale massacre after the battle, is convulsed by horror at the desecration of brick and mortar!' - Karl Marx, Civil War in France

I want to remind people that the adultification of Palestinian children is the same tactics that have been used against Black and Brown kids here in the US.
They always use the same tactics and always will. Adultification and dehumanization.

All of our oppression is connected.

I’m sorry, as someone who was once going for these type of jobs, you really just need to quit loudly and publicly
