Midst all the mischief at the United States Supreme Court, it’s almost gone unnoticed how many of its key decisions are being manipulated with fake facts, outside the established traditions of American judicial fact-finding.

What a colossal indictment of the American system that the two viable Presidential candidates are Trump and Biden.

I really do not understand the calculus of constantly insulting young people, and presuming what they do or do not know. Also, college students during the CRM didn’t have to understand the entire history of racism to know segregation was immoral. Did BLM protestors have to know

I enjoy this phase of Bill Burr’s career where all his right wing peers have him on their shows bc he’s a loudmouth with no filter but then he just ends up calling them morons to their faces

Angel shared this pic of the cherry harvest in Arvin CA. He drives just over two hours one way to earn $5.50 for each bucket of cherries he can fill. Depending on the size and quality of the fruit for his wages makes it hard to plan and he wishes for a steady income. #WeFeedYou

Can we call it genocide now or does that still mean we are Hamas.

My daughter is missing right now, she ran away this morning. She’s been gone for 8 hours and I’m praying she’s safe with a friend and she will come home. Vancouver please keep an eye out. Many ppl are searching and police have been notified. Creator protect my bb. Bring her home!

There are snipers on the roof of the school where I got my MA.

There are police beating students at the school where I got my PhD.

At each school, I studied authoritarian regimes and how they brainwash people into believing that state brutality is not only normal, but deserved.

Marcelino works harvesting brussell sprouts in Oxnard CA. He spends his days hunched over cutting the vegetable and at the end of his day can barely walk from the pain in his waist. This is how he supports his family. #WeFeedYou

personal note on using your privilege: i have seen white people, countless times, place themselves in front of BIPOC when police draw weapons/approach protests. it often works.

do not be a person that just acknowledges their privilege, use it for good.

DO NOT TALK TO THE POLICE:

they are not your friends. they are not there to protect you, regardless of your race. their presence there is to protect the interests of the state.

Yesterday, John McWhorter, a linguist who the NYT gives space to opine about racism, wrote an op-ed that declared the Columbia protests to be “abusive” to Jewish students, and placed the blame for that abuse on “anti-racist academic culture.”

I have thoughts.🧵

Reminder Nazis with tiki torches chanting 'Jews will not replace us' on campus in Charlottesville weren't touched and law enforcement presence was sparse.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ve seen me write about this topic. A lot.

The dynamics are different today, but the fundamental premise remains: College campuses are being turned into battlegrounds for a wholly asymmetric conflict; a billionaire proxy war.

No, Mr. Netanyahu. It is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 – 70% of whom are women and children.

You will not distract us from this immoral war.

Seeing way too much “college kids are out of control” and not enough “they’ve uncovered multiple civilian mass graves in Palestine”

This is NOT what vile antisemitism looks like. The media is not being fair and even handed about the Columbia campus protests.

Was listening to a descendant of a Holocaust survivor retell their story of persecution and when their grandparents moved to Israel and were offered keys to a home - they found plates set on the table. Realizing it was someone's home they immediately saw (con't)

The following is a statement by faculty at the department of sociology at Columbia University. (1/16)

Terrorism is reprehensible. Any efforts to intimidate Jews should be denied on college campuses and violators should be punished. But 'intimidation' does not include peacefully arguing any of the above points.
Indeed, as I have said before...
