Jessica Seinfeld, wife of Jerry Seinfeld, just donated $5,000 (more than anyone else) to the GoFundMe of the pro-Israel UCLA rally. At this rally, participants yelled “I hope they rape you” & spat on and used the N-word towards pro-Palestinian students.
It was prophesied
Not the first time that journalists, and particularly female journalists, have been deliberately targeted with violence by rightwing protesters in Los Angeles: theguardian.com/world/2021/sep…
A Daily Bruin news editor said she recognized one of the counterprotesters as someone who had previously verbally harassed her and taken pictures of her press badge. The individual instructed the group to encircle the student journalists: latimes.com/california/sto…
As she tried to break free, one UCLA student journalist said, she was punched repeatedly in the chest and upper abdomen; another student journalist was pushed to the ground and beaten and kicked for nearly a minute. latimes.com/california/sto…
I was there filming cops in full riot gear kicking and assaulting peaceful students and throwing them down the stairs knocking them unconscious. When Jeffries says this he doesn’t mean cops weren’t violent, he just wants to see them brutalizing students. A country run by demons.

The lesson of literally almost every single successful social movement in modern US history (women’s suffrage, civil rights, LGBTQ, Act-UP, antiwar, disability rights, etc) is that dissent *must* produce disorder to provoke the kind of response that enables meaningful change.

@JeffSharlet @dartmouth Those cops were brutal to me. I promise I did absolutely nothing wrong. I was standing with a line of women faculty in the their 60s to 80s trying to protect our students. I have now been banned from the campus where I have taught for 34 years.

My day began with having to block one of the Mt Sinai deans, a person who has accused me of blood libel for calling what I’m witnessing in Gaza a genocide. She’s claimed I want to witness the ‘genocide of the Jews’ bc I’ve said I don’t believe the US should fund the slaughter…
I do not know—especially given the state of ballot access & other less dramatic norms—how folk aren’t talking about the US as a semi-authoritarian state. Run down the checklist. I suppose in hindsight, once we’re truly cooked, all the liberal academics will discover this.
Further, the mayor is saying the political views of professors at universities within the city—public or private—is the legitimate concern of the police.

The mayor of NYC is now clearly stating that it was the *content of protestors speech* which caused him to seen a thousand armed police to beat and arrest them for staging sit-ins. Best pay attention, because this is the USA now.

“We are not an authoritarian nation where we silence people or squash dissent. Unless you are a student protesting US support for Israel at Dartmouth or someplace which case we will sic the cops on you, beat the shit out of your history or economics professor, and arrest you.”

So much left-of-center political discourse functions to obscure what might be the most basic and fundamental fact about our politics, which is: that the class solidarity rich liberals feel with reactionaries constantly trumps any loyalty to their progressive base

Rubber bullets? Have you lost your mind @UCLA? You are using rubber bullets against unarmed protestors who are *students* of your uni demanding you divest from genocide. You are attacking them to facilitate a quieter genocide. Fantastically gross legacy. #Gaza #StudentIntifada

There’s three ways those in power historically deal with embarrassing social unrest 1) concede to demands (impossible, lol) 2) promise vague reforms, delay, distract, create a toothless commission, buy off leaders (liberalism when it functions properly) 3) jackbooted crackdown
