There’s been a framing that all these protesters at Columbia were rich and entitled. But that’s why interviews of them are important ⁦Columbia Daily Spectator⁩ ⁦New York Magazine⁩

If we are:
Students - unserious and naive
Not students - agitators
Non-disruptive- performance
Disruptive - that’s not “peaceful”
Learning from the past - brainwashed
Something new - can’t they be like past “good” ones

There is no protest they will not reject.
Keep going!

Just watched the footage of the NYPD executing a 19 year old. Sick to my stomach.

This seems as good a time as any to remind everyone that this councilwoman is cozy with the members of the Proud Boys and that her son & campaign strategist once threatened to shoot Maxine Waters. qchron.com/editions/queen…

This is what ADL is applauding.

And then, some decades from now, when they’re running for office and we pull up these videos they’ll say “it was a different time.” It wasn’t a different time. It was never a different time.

Infuriating to wake up today to my students being arrested again. I can’t imagine what New York University administration is thinking.

.Rabbi Barat Ellman and I are proud #Jews4Jamaal . We need MORE educators in Congress, not fewer.

Come to the next phone bank to keep this progressive champion and absolute mensch in office! Bit.ly/Jews4JamaalPho…

#JewsForJamaal

Please watch this and remember that the world was rightly outraged by the killing of the WCK aid worker but seems not to care when our children are being killed.

Sorry to distract from the most important topic: college campuses have tents with protesters in them; truly scary

The footage of cops pulling down student protestors’ masks and forcing their faces in front of news cameras is so sickening. The point is ritual humiliation and actively endangering their lives.

Shame on every administrator that unleashed these fascist forces on their campuses.

So frustrated w gaslighting that this is about Jewish safety & not protection of imperial war, access to resources in Middle East, & profit for weapons manufacturers. In what universe do the police protect a racialized minority? It’s not true now or ever.

#Gaza #StudentIntifada

Politicians claim John Lewis and valorize his “Good Trouble”
The March across Edmund Pettus Bridge was the height of trespassing, and disorder. Even Dr King was reluctant to support it. After the violence of Bloody Sunday policy changed.
Every yr all now reenact the theater of it

I am an Israeli living in NYC. I lost family on October 7th and have Gazan friends. I am not afraid of the student protestors, even if I deeply disagree with some of their stances. What I’m afraid of is a world that sees thousands of children being blown up and says nothing.

Today's a do or die moment for Bernie Sanders

He's the only person who can stop Republicans from intro'ing a Senate bill under 'unanimous consent' (to bypass votes) and codify a false definition of criticism of Israel being antisemitic

Which will lead to criminalization of speech.

Are you as terrified of a second Trump Presidency as I am? Then raise your voice to pressure the incumbent President and the Democratic Party leadership to change course.

But MTG & Matt Gaetz are advancing a different argument here. The canard that 'the Jews killed Jesus' is the foundation of centuries of Christian antisemitism, responsible for untold Jewish suffering. Most of the Christian world worked hard to atone for this legacy post-Holocaust

First off, the Antisemitism Awareness Act is bad & should be opposed because the IHRA definition of antisemitism featured in it, would unconstitutionally restrict Israel-critical speech. Lara Friedman has a great thread on that here x.com/LaraFriedmanDC…

We're seeing the Overton Window for antisemitism on the establishment Right creak open in real time today. As Congress debates the Antisemitism Awareness Act, leading MAGA Republicans are voicing a new line of opposition: defending their right to say the Jews killed Jesus
