“Can you call the philosophy department and tell them I’ve been arrested?” is an all-time quote.

.Vichicular Michaelis argument that vegetables don't exist is slightly convincing

Overwhelmed by the amount of free speech advocacy in the US right now.

Police are the ones rioting.

This afternoon, Penn students set up an encampment.

There are snipers overlooking the student protests at Indiana University and Ohio State. The fascist response to students simply saying “stop funding genocide” is an indictment of higher education and this country as a whole. /1

Every US mayor has been reading from the Mubarak playbook for the last decade. All we're missing is the camel cops

Forming a faculty defense line with faculty to try to stop arrests. Might be my last tweet for a while. Free Palestine and bless our courageous students!

Cop throwing people in unmarked vans for protesting genocide. America 2024.

Stanford is an interesting example because there already HAD been a pro-Palestinian encampment, from October until like February sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl… But the admins are making it clear that they are absolutely not allowing that again, I guess

And this proud, steadfast baba was at the protest with his baba. Beautiful intergenerational support for Palestine.

HELLO from UC Santa Barbara 🍉🍉

After cancelling the commencement speech set to be delivered by valedictorian Asna Tabassum, who minored in resistance to genocide, USC has now cancelled commencement itself latimes.com/california/sto…

It’s very weird how people just make up the history of activism and social change

You can go look at newspaper coverage of lots of protests from history! People (moderates especially) were not happy about them until afterwards!

I don’t think you should use this meta-reasoning

Just had explosive interaction w/ Columbia University’s heightened security coming onto campus. They followed me to my office & then lied, saying I didn’t scan my ID for entry (I did) & I pushed an officer (I didn’t). An ugly scene followed. They did this to me, a tenured, full professor.

It's important for people to understand that they immediately tossed the entire playbook for this kind of thing, and with the most flimsy justification I can imagine

Alex Hanna (اليكس حنٌا) I think it’s donor pressure + congressional hearings causing university admins to make unforced errors instead of waiting them out like they usually do.

the movement has made it to North Florida
