Sorry about that broken link. This link works and includes the 1985 takeover by Columbia students of Hamilton Hall demanding divestment from South Africa. It was the longest occupation of the building at nearly 3wks and they renamed it Mandela Hall.

Everyone keeps leaving out 1985 when students took over Hamilton Hall, renamed it Mandela Hall, demanded the school divest from South Africa over apartheid. It was the longest siege--nearly three weeks-- of the university in its history. No riot police then, either.

the reason why our pundit class is dogshit is because they are getting paid large amounts of money, collectively, to keep the public as uninformed as possible. easy example is all the people saying federal government has no control over local police actions, this is totally false

this sadly is the legacy of our global economic system

destruction and death

I don’t think we’re gonna make it

the blue maga people are in a propaganda bubble. they believe the protests are sponsored by russia or george soros because they don't know that biden is unpopular, and they don't know because they believe every poll showing he is unpopular is because putin rigged the polls, etc

And watching how fast DOJ is acting to investigate students & campuses, bring charges, defund re: 1A speech RW Zionists deem 'antisemitic' while taking NO action for 4 yrs re: surging GOP coup, 5yo Mueller Report, Trump's pandemicide, treason w Russia, election interference, etc.

The only update on this I’m getting as an NHS consultant in a big NHS trust in year 5 of the pandemic is from a Priest on twitter, while our trust completely ignores it, most testing is stopped & there is zero communication on Covid numbers

If the concerted effort to seamlessly conflate Israel and Judaism succeeds, then it will not end well.

This will mean that everyone of jewish faith must take FULL responsibility for every action of the increasingly fascistic state of Israel.

For over 4 years, whatever happens with SARS-CoV-2 in the UK happens here within a couple of weeks.

Take precautions now. Protect the general population, especially those in congregate living & HCWs.

Dartmout protest was genuinely peaceful & inclusive.The only disruption to courses were NH State riot police & SWAT team & ban on my colleague Prof. Annelise Orleck from teaching her courses because she objected nonviolently to a state riot cop seizing her phone.

Images of criminal assaults by violent Zionists shouting in Hebrew and calling peaceful anti-genocide students the N-word are then wrapped in labels “Palestinian” and “Gaza,” creating 1st-glance reversal of victims and perps. They’re not “counter protesters” they’re a lynch mob.

I have been at Palestinian protest encampments in the West Bank that were attacked by settler mobs as soldiers watched (and then joined in) so what’s happening at UCLA is all kinda familiar.

It's very simple. You don't get to warn about the danger of fascism in November - which, as I have said for years, is very real! - without challenging, rather than colluding with, fascist tendencies *right now*

“I’m no climate scientist” but I’m getting the impression things have now become distinctly non-linear

This is a huge problem for the pro-democracy Left, esp the timorous Dem Party, who lack an aggressive first-strike messaging apparatus like ChristoFash GQP—no equivalents to MAGA, Murdoch, Elon, Thiel, Zuck, Koch, QAnon, Kremlin et al. for progressive or even liberal narratives.

I know we've been on this ride awhile, but watching people barely react to a former president who's already tried to overthrow an election send attorneys to argue for absolute power while his campaign details an authoritarian plan designed by his billionaire backers is something.

Truly nonviolent protest Dartmouth 🌲, riot cops seem to have arrested a student journalist for asking for badge numbers.
