& lefty friends & comrades new to the whole Christian Zionist thing: They've been at this a long time. They know how to weaponize unforced errors. Insisting that there's NO antisemitism, besides being a purity narrative (more of a fascist thing, anyway), is a slow-pitch softball.
It’s wild that the US lectures the world about “democracy” while presiding over an international system where it repeatedly vetoes decisions supported by the vast majority of humanity.
CHICAGO: I am coming to your fair city for three events in mid-May. Hope to see you there! 3) Talking Stayed on Freedom (& dad jokes) with @IolaElla on May 16 @haymarkethouse/ @haymarketbooks tickettailor.com/events/haymark…
I'm so glad @OhioStatePres just clarified why he authorized training snipers on our students and arresting those who had peaceably assembled. Per his statement, he was deeply concerned about over burdening the toilets in the union. Somebody's full of shit and it aint the kids.
At this momentous time at @NorthwesternU, let's also keep an eye on other humanitarian emergencies that demand our solidarity & other examples of mass mobilization to inspire our dreams of a freer world. Today, 12:30 CST, bit.ly/April29_Sudan @khalidmedani4 @minlayla77 #Sudan

I spent time at @NorthwesternU encampment and SO impressed by students to de-escalate tensions in face of angry, older non students who shouted racist slogans and insults, attempted to provoke peaceful students. The contrast was remarkable. #peace #ceasefire

in my interpretation, the brave emory professor who cried out “i’m a professor” while being brutalized by police for intervening in police brutality was addressing her colleagues, all faculty nationwide who walk by the encampments & hear about the suspensions, but choose silence.
"@NorthwesternU faces a historic opportunity to be a national model for responding to student dissent in thoughtful & peaceful ways. We are proud of our students for demonstrating discipline, creativity & camaraderie as they...work to make a better world" dailynorthwestern.com/2024/04/28/unc…
Here is today's statement unanimously endorsed by the Labor and Working-Class History Association (@lawcha_org) board, of which I'm a part, condemning the use of police to violently break up peaceful protest on U.S. campuses. Feel free to share widely.
1. So what about that Ben Franklin quote that Trump's lawyer, John Sauer, read to the Supreme Court during the Supreme Court case on presidential immunity? Was it accurate? The words are fine, but Sauer's interpretation was deliberately misleading. Franklin would be horrified.
A nation cannot commit a genocide under a system of colonial occupation and not, also, turn their own country into a police state.

The #encampment at #northwestern is inspiring! Many 100s of #students peacefully protesting #genocide while facing dozens of angry hostile pro #zionist counter protesters perhaps none of whom are students. #ceasefire #freepalestine
I am so FUCKING PROUD of our students and community team, who have successfully de-escalated a racist provocation with a counter demonstration and yet are remaining spirited and energized!

Breaking: 4 cops viciously assault a professor at Washington University in St. Louis for filming as they attack students.
And this is why, long before this round of protests, I been calling for campus police abolition. Their job is not public safety but power maintenance and brand management...

Every union local in the country should be running youth education programs like this and I am not joking in the least. As usual, the Alabama labor movement is on it
When we get the opportunity to speak with high school students about unions it goes without saying we discuss the unions role in civil and human rights. Our job doesn't begin and end on the factory floor.
Thinking about late 20th c. military dictatorships in Latin America & elsewhere, a common feature was universities being overrun by cops or troops to violently shut down dissent. Anyone justifying this draconian crackdown, no matter the reason, is literally siding w/ fascism.
Columbia's student radio station, @WKCRFM, deserves a broadcast journalism prize for its live coverage of the impending police raid of the campus.

We salute the Northwestern University Divestment Coalition for obtaining a commitment from @NorthwesternU for disclosure, a first step toward divestment. We stand firm with students and faculty as they continue to protest & push for divestment & an end to Israel’s #GazaGenocide.
A university president asks a militarized army of police to invade its campus, arrest protesters, and then occupy the campus. Like wtf
Once again, the only cancel culture in effect is the repression carried out by those in power
UNC cancelled all classes. USC cancelled graduation. CCNY cancelled its food pantry. Columbia cancelled EVERYTHING. As @_citoyenne put it, “no medical appts, no studio or practice space. no lectures, no concerts. just the pure administrative university & its disciplinary power.”
I did an interview on the history of divestment protests on college campuses with Marketplace, a *very* short (ie a sentence) portion of which was featured on NPR's Marketplace Morning Report @NPR @Marketplace this morning! marketplace.org/shows/marketpl….
More than a thousand show up to Coffman Memorial Union to support student demands that @UMNews divest from the U.S.-funded Zionist genocide in Gaza. There are about four pro-genocide protesters.
Here's Christian Zionist trap: Most protesters act in good faith. A few, as at every protest I've ever seen, are fools. Rightwing zooms in on fools. Honest protesters say, rightly, zoom-in is bad faith distraction. It is! &, "So, it must be false." Not exactly; fascism gloats.
Good thread on the politics surrounding campus protests (as opposed to the politics of the protests themselves). Right wing playbook ready to pounce, swing into action. Counter-protests are designed to provoke reaction that can be spun up into media machine.
& lefty friends & comrades new to the whole Christian Zionist thing: They've been at this a long time. They know how to weaponize unforced errors. Insisting that there's NO antisemitism, besides being a purity narrative (more of a fascist thing, anyway), is a slow-pitch softball.
Amid everything, I am hosting a conference. I'm thrilled that these fantastic writers will be in conversation at Northwestern Thursday, May 9 at 5pm: Ava Chin, Natasha Trethewey, and Clint Smith, discussing why history matters to their writing.
Decolonisation in India has to include debrahmanisation
The key part from this farmer's quote that often gets left out - "...and also provide them with the dignity that they deserve.” We need to emphasize that Wisconsin may *need* foreign workers, same as they have for over 50 years, but employers need to provide jobs with dignity.
Wisconsin dairy farmer: “It seems foolish to just pretend that foreign-born workers aren’t here and that we don’t need them. We need a means by which their presence here can be legal and sustainable.” Via @WPR: wpr.org/agriculture/ce…

Can’t believe this is real, but this morning I looked up my book on WorldCat and couldn’t believe my eyes. The US PRESIDENT has my book in his library! 👀 Thanks so much @JoeBiden, would love to hear your thoughts!
At the first rally for the brand new UChicago encampment, a student in UChicago Jews for Palestine gave a speech about the values of Passover, the history of Jewish labor organizing and resistance to colonialism He had the crowd chanting Long Live in Palestine in Yiddish!
9yo wanted me to take a video of myself describing my job so she could show her class as part of their “career week.” She begged me to “not be cringy.” After a few min of back & forth to define what might constitute “cringy,” the request was rescinded.
