"Kids trying to save each other across oceans is the very best of us." - Mira Jacob

this is going to radicalize a generation towards police abolition and towards university abolition, we will remember the date april 30, 2024.

We teach our students that history is contingent. That the world can be otherwise. And then our employers send in the police to beat that lesson out of them.

today, @alexispauline reminded us that audre lorde & june jordan met at a student-run campus occupation in new york city. i don't think that'll ever leave my heart.

in sudan those are our children. in palestine those are our children. in haiti those are our children. in the congo those are our children. on these college campuses, those are our children. *all* of the children are ours and we’ve gifted them a world that feeds on them.

This country has more force for student protesters than they did for Jan. 6 or white supremacists marching through campuses with Tiki torches.

abolition is inevitable and on its way.

The tents are gone, but they left their mark.

Something that irks me about takes like this is how people who consider themselves to be informed seem to be unwilling to see how protesting activists do connect these issues. There are tons of articles about reproductive health access in Palestine and the parallels with the US.

This is unprecedented. Brown University strikes a deal with its students to end their peaceful protest & encampment, in exchange for a formal divestment vote from Israeli interests. And no student will be punished for protesting. This is democracy at work. thehill.com/homenews/educa…

Ph.D. students Brittany Brathwaite (brittany brathwaite) and Frances Howell discuss the current state of abortion and reproductive health care in post-Dobbs America on a new episode of the #ThoughtProject podcast gc.cuny.edu/news/state-rep… Tanya L. Domi @gradcenterpsych

I’ve been scared to speak up more about Gaza. I feel unburdened to share I’ve been targeted & disparaged, as a Black woman physician, by nefarious forces within medicine, because of my pro-humanity stance, but NO MORE. I CANNOT be more scared than Palestinians in this moment.

Missouri was the first state to pass an abortion ban after Roe was overturned. Tonight, they became the first state to reverse a total ban

The U.S. has a deep identity issue. We want to claim feminism but love the patriarchy. We want to be multiracial but love white supremacy. We‘re a “nation of immigrants,” but hate the recent ones. We’re “heroes” ignoring our villainy.

Why are people surprised by Latinos for Trump? They’ve wanted proximity to Whiteness since the days of I Love Lucy.
