Fun little aside, the guy who wrote the IHRA 'definition' of antisemitism did so solely as a means of collecting data for a project. He is horrified at it being used as a legal justification to outlaw criticism of Israel

House votes 320-91 to urge the Department of Education to codify criticism of Israel as unlawful antisemitism

Israel destroyed all the universities in Gaza.

The crowd at the University of Texas Dallas is now five times the size of was when I left the liberated zone earlier today before law enforcement forcefully dispersed the camp, trashed it, and arrested some protesters. Now, the crowd is chanting 'You Failed Uvalde.'

Yoga is Canadian bc she vacations there 🇨🇦🇨🇦 I’m not necessarily surprised at who has come out in favor of senseless dog killing this last week, but I am surprised about how many of them have done so publicly.

This is the building I teach in. I have no words

look obviously Columbia is not unique in escalating but I do not think they should have put a british person in charge, much less a “baroness”

millions of people in rural settings: WTF we don't do that to a puppy???

jesse signal: as I've said a million time times before, actually, your lived experience is meaningless

A thread of some of the funniest things Hulk said on the 700 Club today:

Periodic reminder that in addition to slave patrols, American policing has its roots in union-busting, property protection, and scab defense against striking workers. Cops have been on the wrong side of *every* labor struggle in US history and have no place in organized labor.

even when they're supposedly ashamed of harvard they gotta tell you three times in three sentences that they went to harvard. twice

this is a bit but also part of the truth. the point of this generation of right wing agitprop is to trap young men in a sort of bigoted stasis. Keep them from meeting people and learning lessons that might make it possible for them to have a life. Men who grow aren't profitable

Any time I see TERFs say “politically homeless leftie” in their profile it becomes very clear that their hatred of trans people is far more important to them than any leftist principles they might have.

So they really aren’t as much of a “leftie” as they claim to be.

Reminder. Mass arrests are suggesting Stingray usage.

Being a modern conservative must be quite stressful cos you're encouraged to be a complete psycho but apparently there are limits, only nobody tells you what they are. Like being in some dangerous prison drinking game

i find it really intriguing how the south’s student activism never gets as much media attention as other regions. day 28 of Vanderbilt’s encampment and i only read about it being the first university to start one YESTERDAY.

i was looking at more ergonomic keyboard layouts and learned that there is a way to graph the differences which uses hands with variable finger length.

I've seen no credible reporting of actual antisemitic incidents at the UT Austin protest. What I can tell you is that I've reported on numerous neo-Nazi events and Greg Abbott never once tried to put any of them in jail.

I'm a Jew, a faculty member at northeastern, and I visited the Gaza solidarity camp each day. Many student protesters there were also Jews. Northeastern admin is justifying arresting their own students by claiming they were chanting 'kill the Jews,' which is a blatant lie.
