Cal Poly Humboldt keeping it real 🖤

I sometimes think that elite US universities will never recover from this, but then I remember the hoardes of ambitious students vying for spots and the ranks of mediocre careerist professors lurking at the gates.

i read an academic(?) article like 5 years ago where the author quoted fanon calling the us a “nation of lynchers.” but i cannot for the life of me find the reference from where that came from, does anyone know where i can find it?

Hi all. Nerdy policy wonk who follows Congress closely weighing in with a thread on legislation (getting no media coverage) moving rapidly through Congress that targets US non-profit orgs, with the immediate & explicit target being orgs involved in Palestine protesting.

BREAKING: USC STUDENTS START GAZA SOLIDARITY OCCUPATION THIS MORNING

Colleges around the country are rising up for justice in Palestine! USC Divest From Death Coalition has announced their occupation of USC's Alumni Park.

LOS ANGELES GET HERE NOW! Students need your support!

😭

During negotiations with Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) earlier tonight, Columbia University administrators threatened to call in the National Guard and NYPD if student organizers did not agree to the University's demands.

these people really think they are growing political power through the barrel of the *checks notes* democratic party

One unnerving element of this massacre is how relentless it is — in the sense that we’ve read of children killed so young that they had no names yet, and then the dead crushed by machines, buried en masse, or left unburied. The cruelty has touched all levels of existence.

Interesting that as mass graves of children in Gaza are being revealed we are again forced into a discourse about antisemitism. Per usual, there's little condemnation of Isr*el's actions from these people so concerned with protests. It's not worth engaging

I'd urge people to watch the linked video not just as an illustration of how these protests in particular are being covered, but of how events on campus are covered by the press generally speaking.

Remembering Manuel 'Tortuguita' Teran. An Indigenous queer and non-binary environmental organizer, born on this day. They would have been 28. Murdered by the police for being a forest defender in the Stop Cop City Movement. Salute!!!

why do academics love proving they haven’t read marx (at least beyond secondary and tertiary sources) unprovoked lol

From Black Atlanta with Love. Students & Alum of AUC are inviting us to join them for a vigil in affirmation of life. We will be gathering to grieve the senseless loss of life across the world that the US empire perpetuates in our names. Spread far and wide.

At this moment, more so than ever, the feelings of a Zionist deserve as much consideration and respect as those of a Nazi: none.

when have we not done that tho? i have seen nothing but colonized (and jewish!) ppl overcompensating, over explaining, putting out statements to avoid/respond to the inevitable bad-faith antisemitic allegations and right-wing co-optation of anti-zionism. and it has done nothing!

BREAKING: Merger & Acquisition lawyers drop Elbit Systems as their client after a sustained direct action campaign by Palestine Action!
