I am 1000% jealous that we didn't come up with this for Selina's book 'A Woman First: First Woman.' Veep

“Indiana Senator Mike Braun said Supreme Court was wrong to legalize interracial marriage” — trial balloon fox59.com/indiana-news/s…

Cops shot and killed three people at the Chicano Moratorium (1970), an anti-war march, after declaring it an “unlawful assembly.” One of those killed by LEOs was Ruben Salazar, an LAT reporter. People were beaten, tear gassed, and maimed. Between 20k to 40k people marched.

When you’re trying to stop antisemitism and end up banning the Chair of Jewish Studies from your Ivy League campus for protecting her students.

In the province of Catania, in the Italian island of Sicily, is the town of Grammichele.

One of the few towns in the world to have this unique hexagonal layout.

This steps so far over the line. Pure politics - not to mention conspiratorial scaremongering- on an official police account. I don’t understand why the NYPD is continually allowed to do this

That photo!

Regardless of your view on protests, the militarized response—which has ramped up with what some call “the Palestine exception”—will not end there. Absent a big—& politically diverse—pushback, this is the new norm for campus protest. 1/

Liberals who remain silent about militarized response to protests with which they disagree, or think they disagree, will be stunned when fascism’s assault on higher ed *builds* on this step. Because the goal isn’t about these protests; it’s about breaking higher ed. 9/

How come you’re not hearing as much about campus DEI now? Because, as far right strategist Chuck Colson told me years ago, the enemy is secularism. Everything else is a “wedge issue.” Use the biggest wedge at hand. Right now, Christian nationalists fascism are using protests. 7/

Hey Chris Sununu, you justified the use of militarized riot and SWAT police to suppress dissent Dartmouth 🌲 because you said protests against Israel’s war are “100% pure antisemitism.” You mean this?

BREAKING: Netanyahu announces that all Al Jazeera news operations to be closed in Israel

Awesome rocking young ladies!

The United States has an obligation to uphold its own laws and to respect human rights globally.

Amidst the Israeli gov’s siege on Gaza, blocking humanitarian aid, and threats on Rafah, withholding US military aid is a major development towards ceasefire.

When Mike Johnson, a Christian 'Zionist' invokes 'Jewish safety,' that's antisemitism, an inversion of the Protocols by which they present *some* Jews as all. When a college president does it, that's inadvertently a related affliction--& it does nothing for 'Jewish safety.' 14/

Idea that some Jews speak for 'the Jews'--or worse, that we need non-Jews to speak for us--has deep roots in the European enforced Jewish ghettos going back centuries. That made spokespeople necessary; & contributed to the antisemitic hoax The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. 13/

The way some college administrations & politicians speak of 'Jewish safety' is contemptuous of Jewish safety. It is not even about Jewish safety; it's the utilization of *some* Jews as cover for a political project that erases other Jews. 3/

I am a Jew. This week, a trustee of Dartmouth 🌲, the college at which I've taught 14 years, Chris Sununu, declared a protest there '100% antisemitic.' A protest in which Jewish students, faculty, & staff took part. Sununu's statement isn't just wrong--it's antisemitic. 1/

This from Jeff Sharlet helps to explain why so many Jewish academics who otherwise disagree on most things re Israel uniformly condemn politicians who weaponize bad faith claims abt antisemitism to smear legit criticism of Israel.

What If You Knew Her and Found Her Dead on the Ground, by Susie Bright

I wrote this in a previous century. Decided to publish it again. I didn’t change one word.
