Important thread to read if you truly want to begin to understand the student movement
Important thread to read if you truly want to begin to understand the student movement
If you want to declare war on us, go ahead. We have never been under the illusion that you had any desire to take action to protect us or the world.
Not only are these college students not being protected, they are being demonized, gaslit, and psychologically tortured by the entire American establishment across media, politics, and liberal institutions.
“The moment this turns violent” - hey, @lawler4ny , waiting for you to get on TV and strongly condemn pro- Israel violent acts toward peaceful demonstrators. We all know how principled you are on this x.com/ryangrim/statu…

It turns out that if you don't call in anti-terror cops to beat, detain, and arrest your students, you can actually avoid escalating violence and chaos, and becoming headline news across the globe, and actually have a productive discussion with demonstrators on your campus.

The mainstream media’s coverage of the campus protests against the Gaza genocide is actually worse, more biased, more dishonest, than its coverage of the Gaza genocide itself, which I actually didn’t think possible.
Congressman Bowman was the ONLY elected official who visited campus and spoke to BOTH students (of all faiths) at the Solidarity Encampment AND Jewish students who were not part of or had reservations about the protests. He heard everyone. That’s what leadership looks like.

Cannot stop losing my mind about the fact that all this is over some kids trying to stop an extremely well-documented campaign of mass murder and starvation against innocent civilians. How does anyone support what Israel is doing at this point?
Almost every student I interviewed at Columbia spoke about how they woke up every morning to graphic images of Gazans being bombed, with US support, and could not accept that this was normal. A lot of boomers are trying to assuage their guilt for not speaking out against these…

I don't agree with every slogan of the protests on campus + elsewhere. Some I really dislike. But when people look back they will see this as the moment when a real debate began about university + govt complicity in the oppression of Palestinians. And the protests made it happen.
CNN is Fox News. Straight up propaganda channel.

This is the most insane segment of mainstream agitprop I've ever seen from a network other than Fox News. In every image she shows, the perpetrators of actual violence are the cops or pro-Israel counter-protesters. And the comparison to 1930s Germany is jaw-dropping.

The lesson from Tuesday is this: The people in charge are scared. They are terrified of the power of the movement for Palestine—of its size, moral righteousness, fearlessness, diversity, and love. bit.ly/4dmSsRH
College Democrats’ votes are not to be taken for granted by the Democratic Party. We reserve the right to criticize our party when it fails to listen to us.
I’m shocked by how there are people now saying that the anti-Vietnam war movement in campus was somehow different and somehow sanctioned. That is so revisionist. Activism, is inherently and purposefully disruptive to the status quo. they were seen as agitators. Now heroes.
Next week, Columbia University, which has banned reporters from its campus, is scheduled to announce this year’s winners of one of the most prestigious prizes in journalism.
One thing I know from the last 50+ years: students protesting are always on the right side of history. This time is no exception.
What's cool about looking back at the history of college protests is that 19 year old students have been right about every single American war, and the esteemed Harvard educated opinion writers at the New York Times have been wrong about every single American war.
Super interesting to note the contrast between the way Brown University and Columbia University have handled these protests. Brown agreed to a governance vote about divestment, the encampment there dissolved.

If your priority is ginning up a national crackdown on anti-semitism, conflating religion, culture, ethnicity, and loyalty to Israel and ducking the question of ending US support for a continuing genocide, you are a genocide supporter. #WeSeeYou
This thread is getting a lot of attention; thank y’all for reading and sharing. I’m a fellow with @BostonReview magazine, and their work is essential reading for the U.S. left. I’m also helping a mom of 2 in Gaza, Hala Zidan, fundraise to evacuate Rafah: gofund.me/3245ee11
We will keep fighting with each other, for each other, and even for you, even as you villify us. Because this is not about us. It’s about the future of life itself.
We are clear-eyed. We are in complete solidarity with each other and with our oppressed brothers and sisters around the world, who are being abused by the very same people who abuse us.
Gen Z was born into a surveillance state and climate catastrophe, and grew up into the ongoing brutalization and lynching of Black Americans (so many of them children and young adults), into the global fascist turn, and now, the normalization of genocide.
The US government and the Israeli government are not only calling these students terrorists, but looking to actually criminalize them as such, and placing yet another target on top of a lifetime’s worth.
Not only are these college students not being protected, they are being demonized, gaslit, and psychologically tortured by the entire American establishment across media, politics, and liberal institutions.
Now, I’m seeing the utter disregard for the lives and freedoms of American youth pushed even further. Youth who have lived their entire lives in fear of active shooters have had the nightmares this country inflicted on us come dangerously close to coming true.
We were painted as enemies of free speech, when in fact we were sounding the alarm for the normalization of White nationalist rhetoric, normalization that led us to Trump; to the Mother Emanuel AME massacre and Charlottesville and, eventually, the January 6th insurrection.
Watching everything that’s happening as a Gen Z-Millennial cusp (born in ‘96), I see what’s happening to youth on college campuses as, on top of everything else, the logical end point of decades of neglect of and vitriol towards children and young adults. 🧵🪡
This Seder on the U.S. Capitol lawn was a beautiful sight. It was great to join our Jewish allies with @IfNotNowOrg and @jvplive on the last night of Passover to demand a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
We stand with @tiffany_caban against this untrue dangerous vitriol. CM Cabán loves this city and cares about its people much more than the NYPD does
I do not care what side you’re on. This kind of unhinged personal attacks and politicking by the NYPD on social is out of control. It’s dangerous. It’s destabilizing. Adams has no control. @tiffany_caban
It's very simple. You don't get to warn about the danger of fascism in November - which, as I have said for years, is very real! - without challenging, rather than colluding with, fascist tendencies *right now*
Dartmouth college right now. Any notion that there is anything offensive about this protest—hours old, coalition—is grotesque. Riot cops.
Jewish Rep. Sara Jacobs said she voted against the bill that would crack down on antisemitism on college campuses because anti-Zionism is not “inherently” antisemitism, and the measure that passed through the House would “stifle” free speech rights. trib.al/FigAQMo
This is not only wildly inappropriate behavior from a high-level law enforcement official, but also a deeply counterproductive tactic for convincing the public that law enforcement is behaving appropriately

We should all feel haunted by yesterday’s militarized NYPD response against students and faculty at campuses across the city, producing a mirror image of New York City’s brutal crackdown against students and workers in 1968. My full statement on yesterday’s events⬇️
@bri_guy_ny @tiffany_caban Hey Im in Chicago, our police union leader is basically MAGA Qanon.
@bri_guy_ny @tiffany_caban I’d hazard a guess that Adams supports this wholeheartedly. They share his obvious contempt for any reporter or media outlet that questions their narratives.
