You already know that the police or national guard could shoot thousands of student protestors and there would be articles in the Atlantic and New York Times justifying it. Biden would say it was sad but antisemitism has no place on our college campuses. You just know it, don’t

Three liberal Senators, Jeff Merkley, Peter Welch, and Bernie Sanders, opposed the bill, saying they could not endorse sending offensive weapons to Israel when the campaign in Gaza has killed tens of thousands of people and created a hunger crisis there. nytimes.com/2024/04/23/us/…

can anyone spot the difference between these statements twitter.com/SenatorWarnock…

There is a tragic history in this nation when it comes to violence against anti-war protesters.

We must not repeat that history.

The 79 senators who voted to pass Biden's foreign aid bill/expand Israel's genocide in Gaza:

Guess that's a no then

Jamaica 🇯🇲 recognizes the State of Palestine … thank you for standing by peace, justice and our people”s right to self determination

So... under the best case scenario Biden gets us nowhere near our target. And the worst case is no better than Trump.

It looks pretty clear that neither are sufficient or deserve your vote.

If another country arrested that many students and professors in one day, the US would be deeply concerned

When Yglesias was an undergrad at Harvard circa 2001-02, did he focus on his homework? No, he spent his time writing pro-war posts and mocking anti-war protestors. This won him the praise of rabid bomb-them-all reactionaries like Andrew Sullivan and was foundation of his writing

One of the most disturbing aspects of Israel's war on Gaza is that there's no documentation of the people who are kidnapped into Israeli prison camps. So families wait for weeks & months hoping their loved ones are captive but alive, but many end up found dumped in mass graves.

Passover also calls all people to rise up against oppression and violence. I extend this call to Nikema Williams, to end her support for aid to Israel, and to have the political courage to act to hold our shared humanity, not cower to nationalism.

Not sure how I can possibly teach tomorrow after the administration called in the cops to arrest my students and colleagues.

NYC is run by a Democratic mayor, in a state run by a Democratic governor, under a Democratic president, all of whom support this repression.

The Democratic Party is no friend to liberation.

While students pray at one end of the plaza police enter through back entrance LRAD plays while line of faculty hold a line.

actually i do think the issue of safety on college campuses is important
