As an educator this absolutely kicks me in the heart. If you're an educator and you feel the same, keep writing to the VCs to call out complicity, find and sign the BDS statements, support the student movements, do what you can

Worthy and unworthy victims. Simple racism.

Response to a comrade’s query led to an impromptu 🧵on Shia/Sunni divide. Not exhaustive but some brief notes for all comrades in anti-imperialist solidarity. See replies below Blue Ice 🇵🇸 original tweet.

This is Brianna Wu’s def’n of freedom: “She's cutting a piece of cake & showing her legs.”

Pretty much typifies Western liberal’s superficial orientalism. Such ignorance & arrogance! Remarkably funny!

She does get something right: The authoritarian Shah did “let them eat cake!”

Really looking forward to speaking with Farzana Chaudry on BBC Three Counties Radio about #Defiance . It’s important for our national dialogue that Asian & Black Brits can share our own stories, from our own POVs, with mainstream audiences. Tune in to her BBC show on Monday 15th April from 7pm.🔥

You don’t say?! This Biden guy is pretty quick on the uptake.

Best tweet in weeks, lol!

Didn't Israel say UNSC was khamas?

On Iran’s strike:

At Stanford, I attended a masterclass on military strategy led by a person with decades of experience, including serving at the highest levels in the military and government.

One lesson he thought that I always remember was this:

He asked us:

“Say the US…

Starmak & Suner, underwater for the genocide, surfacing to 'I condemn' Iran - basically a synchronised swimming team at this point.

🚨🇵🇸🇭🇹This morning, organizers from Black Alliance for Peace and PSL disrupted House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, calling him out for his imperialist policies in Gaza and Haiti!

Jeffries was speaking at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network 2024 Convention.

THE KEY TAKEAWAY FROM THE IRANIAN RETALIATION ON ISRAEL:

This is a deterrence win for Iran.

Had Israel been taken by surprise and not had the days long preparation to mitigate the impact of an Iranian attack this large, the damage would have been huge.

There is no way Israel…

Meanwhile House Committee investigates Muslim prof Sahar Aziz Do we not think the demonization of Malak Afaneh and ways that legal establishment is silent/supporting Chemerinsky/Fisk are not related based on our climate. Think again. edworkforce.house.gov/news/documents…

I haven’t heard a chorus of Western politicians singing high and low they Iran has a right to defend itself from Israel’s attacks…

Face twisted in a mask of hate. Racism, Zionist panic. This isn’t an educator. Fisk should be ashamed of such behavior and concerned about discipline from UC Berkeley admin.

Ashamed to be Berkeley alum if the Dean and professor suffer no consequences.

Always good to remember how the Venezuelan people defeated a U.S. coup and returned Chavez to power in less than 3 days!
