In its sheer vacuity, this is actually a fascinating if sad symbol of our times. Students in future history classes will of course be bored by this, but also puzzled at how it was all possible while fascism loomed and a genocide took place.

Agreed. I think the replies also illustrate the need for many more car free streets and concrete-barrier protection for people trying to get around without a car. Strategies of education, enforcement, and painted cycle lanes will only prolong the #UKCarCulture status quo.

What I'll remember about Humza Yousaf's leadership is how he showed that integrity and basic humanity were possible on the most important issue of the moment: Palestine. And what a contrast that was to the conduct of so many others in positions of power.

And yet some urban authorities are so commited to their principles that they'd rather close the libraries and turn off the street lights than raise revenue if doing so ran any risk of infringing on the total liberty of car owners.

Do you ever get the impression leaders just aren’t serious about bus priority?
Memorial to the Palestinian journalists killed by Israel, outside the White House Correspondents Dinner which is filled with the those who sponsor this slaughter and those who provide the propaganda for it.
American academia is a house of cards collapsing before our eyes. The illusion is gone, and good riddance. The debt burdening of students, police departments, corporate boards, and obscene salaries of presidents all have to go.
As we watch police violence repeatedly raining down on peaceful protest against genocide, it's important to remember how much Black Lives Matter prepared us to understand what we are seeing. This is a system at work.

Pedagogical praxis to inspire us all. Bravo, Professor!
Jews and Palestinians are not at war.
Demonstrating how genocide, colonialism, profit, police brutality, and the corporate university are related, these students are pulling on a thread that unweaves the whole tapestry of racial capitalism. Hence the crackdown on campus after campus.

Horrified by what's happening in Palestine, and inspired by the college students taking a stand against genocide and its enablers? Let's ride together in solidarity. 4th May. See you then!

We keep saying “the kids are alright,” but really the kids are the best of us.
Left New York, where thousands of students are occupying every campus in the city, to fly to Madison, Wisconsin for a conference, where I came upon a few hundred students who just occupied theirs. Free Palestine.
Things a bit tense outside Columbia as students given a deadline today to disband the encampment. Police extremely jittery and some people outside saying they came as they were worried the encampment would be violently cleared.
Columbia and Barnard Faculty getting ready to protect the students @Columbia @BarnardCollege
Check out my new article in @SHAFRDH!
When the United Nations opened up its headquarters in 1952, it became one of the most popular tourist attractions in New York. 10 million people took a guided tour of the UN in the first 12 years. But *who* were the tour guides? My article has the answer. academic.oup.com/dh/advance-art…
Don't miss @isaac_kamola discussing attacks on higher education on @AymanMSNBC. If you haven't already, you can check out our interview with him about the book he wrote with Ralph Wilson, Free Speech and Koch Money, on the podcast (1/3).
Several billionaire megadonors have pulled their donations from elite universities, in the wake of mass Pro-Palestinian protests over Israel's war in Gaza. Professor @isaac_kamola says attacks on higher education are “just the tip of the iceberg.”
Just adding this since I haven't seen it pointed out yet-- but with this camera angle, he is literally talking down to voters. It's the job of candidates and campaigns to win votes. It's voters role to state what they want from candidates and vote for candidates we want.
NEW: Democratic strategist James Carville has meltdown, blasts young people for thinking about staying home and not voting for Biden. The panic is setting in. “You little f**king 26-year-old, you don’t feel like ‘the election’s important to me. They’re not addressing the issues…
wow.
NOW: Columbia University faculty link arms and form a wall in front of the entrance to the ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment’ as hundreds of students encircle the both lawns Students remaining in the encampment were told they could face disciplinary action after 2PM
This is such amazing news. The university where I work @UniOfYork divests from Israel-linked arms companies. I hope soon other universities will follow the same path ✊🏼 newarab.com/news/uk-univer…
@johnjamesmunro I really hope there are people inside those cars....
Same
What I'll remember about Humza Yousaf's leadership is how he showed that integrity and basic humanity were possible on the most important issue of the moment: Palestine. And what a contrast that was to the conduct of so many others in positions of power.
I wrote something for @brumdispatch on the legend of Joseph Chamberlain and why Birmingham’s obsession with a slightly problematic figure obscures its rich and radical history
He’s the mayor who transformed Birmingham from a sleepy and ignorant city into something great – but is there more to the myth? birminghamdispatch.co.uk/p/joseph-chamb…
I'm not a SNP supporter, and I'm frankly baffled by Humza Yousaf's decision to blow up his majority. But he took the right position on one of the greatest crimes of our age - Israel's genocide - when it was politically hard to do so, and for that he should always be remembered.
The intimidation:
In its latest statement @mcgillu advises the encampment has tripled & that many, if not the majority are not from McGill. It also condemns the unequivocally antisemitic language & intimidation occurring. McGill leadership is meeting now on next steps. I hope for swift action.
Had a great time reading Jessica Chapman's superb Remaking the World: Decolonization and the Cold War--highly recommend it!--and an even better time writing the review for @HDiplo. Check out the roundtable at: networks.h-net.org/group/discussi…
IMO, we need less vague talk about things like 20mph laws being safer and more of the faces and stories of the people whose lives are actually saved by good policies, and lost by dangerous ones.

Yes, it’s nice to live in a city with nice fancy restaurants, but it’s even nicer to live a few blocks away from an amazing Salvadoran papuseria well you can get pupusas for $2.25.
The replies to this are an insane indictment of car culture gone mad in this country. Absolutely mad post-truth idiocy. 20mph saves lives. That's it.

The inimitable @dcli on the blog today, digging into the political economy of US imperialism and the US's role in the destruction of Gaza by looking at the circulation of one commodity: the 155mm artillery shell. An absolute MUST READ! lpeproject.org/blog/imperiali…
Note that almost no one in US media bothers defending Israel’s destruction of Gaza on its merits. Every criticism now is concern trolling, crybullying, anti-zoomer psychobabble and “Trump would be worse” voter-scolding. It’s all meta, desperate, and morally vacuous
This is probably right. Most people don't form political opinions through deep examination of the issues or reasoning from first principles. It's more like picking some particular fashion label or way of dressing. Especially for younger people, who face more peer pressure.
@montanatucker Wow. These kids are organized! Much respect. So proud of this generation. And if you truly wanted to learn and engage, you didn't need a camera to do that.
