Rhiana Gunn-Wright Mary Annaïse Heglar tagging Mary, who wrote an incredible piece for Scalawag the other day scalawagmagazine.org/2024/05/hell-a…

Extraordinary story from Columbia Daily Spectator & The Eye. The framing, the layout—spend some time with it: 'Korrin acknowledged the fine line that low-income or otherwise marginalized students like them walk between where they’re from and where they are now.' columbiaspectator.com/the-eye/2024/0…

Storytelling at Scalawag aims to make clear who is moving interdependently and with community and who is undermining our collective existence.
Stories that examine power which leave a lot more space for folks' humanity and plenty of room for transformational change.

AIPAC helped pro-NRA anti-choice Henry Cuellar barely beat pro-choice & pro-Palestinian Jessica Cisneros. As Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries & 4 of top 5 Dem campaigned for Cuellar. They do what AIPAC tells them, even taking other right-wing positions they are allegedly against.

“You can build all the levees, all the walls you want, but a river WILL run to the sea.” My latest in Scalawag about the echoes of one of the worst catastrophes in American history in the Gaza genocide scalawagmagazine.org/2024/05/hell-a…

To quote Mr MT this truly is a stunning piece of writing, linking the genocide in Gaza with the Mississippi River disaster a century ago through the human cost of colonialism.
Please take time to read it.

Cuellar is the lone anti-abortion Democrat in the U.S. House. Party leadership backed him over a young, progressive, pro-abortion rights primary challenger. He won by less than 300 votes in a runoff

Protesters clashed with police at Georgia State University off Auburn Ave and Park Place. After a few minutes protesters separated and continued marching.

Since Tulane University pigs were eager to brutalize student protesters this week, we thought we'd do a quick review of our 2022 'Bad Apples' report which profiles some of TUPD's officers.

THREAD 🧵

The below letter criticizes pro-Palestine protests at UT Austin for seeking to silence Jewish students.

The fifth signatory is Harlan Crow, a UT alum who reportedly owns a collection of Nazi artifacts and Hitler memorabilia, such as a signed copy of Mein Kampf.

🧵 Over the last week, pigs in Atlanta/Georgia have shown the world exactly why we must #StopCopCity . The brutal force against protesters, chemical weapon attacks on students, and mass arrests are exactly what we've warned about.

The pro-Israel counter protestors at UCLA were organized by a group funded by billionaire Bill Ackman and friends, including Jessica Seinfeld (wife of the erstwhile comedian Jerry Seinfeld).

On point by the brilliant Alleen Brown - connecting the dots between the repression of the Indigenous led Standing Rock movement and the anti-Zionist student movement today.

In order to stop “campus antisemitism”, the US sent in cops & white supremacist groups to beat the life out of Jewish protestors

More Jewish people have been harmed in this police violence than at any action for a free palestine, of course, but that wont matter to this country.

I cannot imagine what it’s like to see WaPo report on your abusive partner’s effort to criminalize you for accessing abortion care—without your consent. I wish journalists understood people’s privacy, autonomy, and safety is more important than their ability to report a story.

Black girls account for 32% of all girls in juvenile facilities, but make up just 14% of girls nationwide.

Why? 'Adultification.'

They're seen as older & more culpable than their peers – leading to more contact & harsher consequences within the juvenile justice system.
