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

ITS BECAUSE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE UPSET ABOUT DEAD KIDS
In a democratic society based on the fundamental value of free speech, it is unacceptable to respond to demonstrations w/ violent repression. When the Speaker of the House equates protesters at @Columbia with terrorists, he irresponsibly incites violence. 4/
The critical evaluation of different points of view and the questioning of even the most deeply held beliefs are essential to learning. So too is our students’ right to protest and to express their political convictions. 3/
Our colleges and universities are places of free and open expression, inquiry, and debate. Even in sharp disagreement, our goal is communication in service of learning and understanding. 2/
The AAUP & our chapters defend the right to free speech & peaceful protest on university campuses, condemn the militarized response by institutional leaders to these activities, & vehemently oppose the politically motivated assault on higher education. 🧵
In 2020, the UC Regents announced divestment from fossil fuels, selling $1 billion in assets. In 2006, the UC Regents voted to divest from companies linked to Sudan as it committed genocide. In 1986, the UC Regents voted to divest $3.1 billion from South Africa over apartheid.

This is the thing that is just SO GALLING: I see no material interest Biden or his administration has in this course, it’s just pure unadulterated boomer Zionism

going back to 2018 and telling anyone in DSA that a BNR NPC member and a prominent Build thinker are having a fight over labor on the TL and having them not be surprised at all, and then telling them which side is arguing what and blowing their minds
Our work responds to and is directed by decisions made by national committees, the NPC, and chapters. Our job is to empower DSA members to realize their vision for DSA. No caucus represents the Union.
I’m a proud member of my Union and grateful for the representation it has provided me and my coworkers through this ordeal. I’m also a proud DSA member. These two things are not mutually exclusive. Our time/labor belongs to every member. We are not a political faction.
Counterfactual: You have a clean, publicly financed school board election, which elects a representative school board with progressive political values. They immediately institute reforms that make the district more answerable to the community. Is the union now irrelevant?

Thanks to heroic fundraising and difficult cuts, DSA is already below its deficit goal this year. We can find a compromise that balances the budget, but the NPC must be willing to negotiate. Show solidarity by joining the DSA Union call on 4/29 @ 8pm EST bit.ly/npcmou

“AIPAC and the candidates they endorse—like Latimer and Bell—are making it clear that they are more than willing to compromise on the fight to protect abortion rights on behalf of their Republican megadonors.” jezebel.com/democrats-are-…
For example this tweet could be shortened to: “Brevity matters.”
look I will fully admit to not being up on the full context but I don't get why all these people loudly and publicly disdainful of working within democracy and being normie friendly joined and then sought control over the socialist organization whose whole deal was being that.
How is this thing THIS bad, Jesus. Over 100 Palestinian journalists killed and you give an award to an IDF reservist correspondent.

Why has the Gaza war spun colleges into chaos? Because campuses have weakened as actual communities, where people mingle, interact and get to know and trust each other. My latest column: cnn.com/2024/04/26/opi…

@leontinelippman @communoah i can neither confirm nor deny this
I know I keep talking about it but it’s INSANE to me that Robert Kraft thinks he can just talk about antisemitism at college like we didn’t all find out he was getting cranked off by trafficked women. obviously morally bad, but also just so low rent! you have $11 billion!

The @UofCalifornia is rejecting calls for boycott/divestment from Israel. New statement says a boycott "impinges on the academic freedom of our students and faculty and the unfettered exchange of ideas..." Also says tuition & fees don't fund investments. bit.ly/4delQts
@noahpasaran Worth noting that when people talk about a democratic work place or elected bosses, they mean a democracy *of the workers*. None of the staff are allowed any level of participation in the NPC elections. Their bosses are elected *for them* by others
As always, making sure folks know about @organizeworkers, even when selling my (union printed) art at local markets.
There's nothing more Italian American than thinking you're cool or a good person by the transitive property of some stuff your grandparents did in a different century
My grandparents helped hide Jews fleeing southern Italy in railroad tunnels, and then lived in those tunnels for weeks, eating dirt and grass, until American soldiers came through. You bought a kaffiyeh from Amazon and glamped for a week on the middle of Manhattan.

Anyway, this is all getting back to the political rationalization being logically incoherent and unworkable, because it's really just a red herring.
Unions participate in democracy. They aren't legitimate solely when they fill a democratic vacuum. They deepen and strengthen democracy, even where democracy is strong.
