one positive thing I hope comes of this moment is a renewed understanding that the concept of objectivity is not only meaningless but actively deployed by people with an interest in concealing their own bias to protect the status quo

look how they massacred my boy

Come hangout with me on monday!!!

It's my understanding that cops are trained to shoot these munitions at the ground; the bounce up into legs and ankles is the intended design. Do they ever do this? No. Many folks have lost eyes and retained permanent scars from being struck by these at point blank range

I do wonder how liberals who see armed police cracking heads on campuses & think 'Well, those folks deserve it, they're leftists/Palestinians/agitators/etc,' don't also think: 'Hold on, if I don't speak out against this now, how on earth will I complain when Trump does it to me?'

The lesson of literally almost every single successful social movement in modern US history (women’s suffrage, civil rights, LGBTQ, Act-UP, antiwar, disability rights, etc) is that dissent *must* produce disorder to provoke the kind of response that enables meaningful change.

A 🧵about the “outside agitator' trope, inspired by our book SOLIDARITY, which looks at why “outsiders” are so threatening & so vital.

Outside support matters to movements. Not everyone denounced as an outside agitator is an outsider. But outside agitators are good, actually.

We are watching the media run with any fabricated narratives they find most compelling to delegitimize mass student protests.

Why? Because not only do the size of the protests show mass discontent but to make us forget what we're protesting against: our money funding genocide.

'dissent must never lead to disorder' is a pretty remarkable thing to say in a country founded on both of those things

Destruction of property is a bitch, amirite? I mean, what kind of person are you if you punch out a window of a door in a university building?

WATCH-- Chris Hayes: It's easier to argue about what college kids are doing than to confront the human misery and destruction that's happening in the actual conflict which is, of course, the source of these protests.

Thousands gather outside the UCLA student encampment to protect the protestors but also in solidarity with Gaza 🇵🇸 and against genocide.

Across the world, youth are saying ‘not in our name’.

We stand in solidarity with the students on campuses nationwide who are protesting the atrocities in Gaza.

Jonathan Chait The UCLA story looks pretty clear, based on LAT/student reporting — pro-Israel counter-protests showed up and started swinging. latimes.com/california/sto…

As a former educator I know how dangerous the over-policing and militarization of our schools is. This is shameful and unacceptable.

Our kids deserve better, our teachers deserve better, and our schools deserve better.
