no one colonizes innocently…no one colonizes with impunity either…a civilization which justifies colonization—& therefore force–is already a sick civilization

And the cops should take off their military grade helmets and weaponry and put down their equipment; they’re dealing with kids who are doing some chants and sleeping in tents. Who’s the “chicken littles” here hiding behind helmets and guns?

Philippe could only dream of knowing as much as the student activists I've had the privilege to work with and learn from, who could critically interrogate the world primarily because they resisted it. Collective resistance reveals how power works & how it is violently maintained.

Racial Capitalism as a Theory of History(@decolonialcommi) 's Twitter Profile Photo

These are the types of people universities function to produce. Ideological collaborators in legitimating the ruling political order. To use ruling class theory and ridicule to humiliate the aspirations of those popular classes that seek to build a better world.

The Biden campaign sounds super convincing.:'Student criminalization will be worse with Trump.' 'Genocide will be worse with Trump.' 'Deportations will be worse with Trump.'

While it’s great to see previously-silent faculty support their students involved in Gaza solidarity actions, these words of support are empty if they don’t include calls for a permanent ceasefire & a free Palestine-this is why our students are protesting-all eyes on Rafah! 🍉

The absorption of decolonization by settler social justice frameworks is one way the settler, disturbed by her own settler status, tries to escape or contain the unbearable searchlight of complicity.

We wrote a letter urging Penn admin to support and protect our students in their peaceful protest, rather than escalating the situation by calling cops or taking disciplinary action. In less than 24 hours we have 1500 signatures from Penn faculty, staff, students, & alum /1

As someone who isn’t partnered or has children, I have been especially touched by friends memorializing their martyred friends in Gaza. The world doesn’t have the language to help people mourn the death of their friends in the best of circumstances, let alone in a genocide.
