. USC finally got some front page NYT coverage it probably wanted, until it actually happened. I hope President Carol Folt is savoring this moment. Fight On.

NEW: Student Gaza solidarity protests/encampments appear to have reached ALL continents but Antarctica 🤯 A brief 🧵:

It is worth noting the oldest university in the European tradition, the University of Bologna, arose out of mutual aid societies to protect foreign students from collective punishment. What students are doing across the country is a return to exactly what a university should be

.Mayor Karen Bass, you have the power to call this off now, please

TFW a university president can't stop expressing gratitude & loyalty to cops while ignoring faculty & lying about students

UCLA in chaos. Students and workers are fed up with the violence against the students, the cancellation of in person classes, the closure of the libraries, the emerging police state.

Video of cops arresting reporters. After they arrested me, I told them about themselves (audio captured).

Absolutely chilling. A month ago, one student demonstrating at the USC village would be largely ignored. Now he's grabbed, physically removed, handcuffed and detained

Perhaps they returned your phones because I emailed UCLA police and comms to warn it would be illegal to keep your phones and use a search warrant to search them. I mentioned our $90K settlement paid to journo for illegal LASD arrest & illegal search warrant to search his phone.

. USC faculty voted to censure President Folt & Provost Guzman yesterday. It's symbolic, but it's not nothing. We are gravely disappointed in their leadership, & they have broken trust with the campus community; censure sends a message. (I am quoted) nytimes.com/2024/05/08/us/…

For several months, I have been co-organizing a film screening and panel, “Mobilizing Documentary: Automotive Fantasies from the Shell and BP Film Units,” for the Petrocultures 2024 conference at USC in Los Angeles. This screening will not be proceeding as scheduled this Friday.

As an organizer of this conference who's poured blood, sweat, and tears into it over the past 18 months, I'm sorry about this outcome but I wholly respect & understand this decision. Who's not sorry, but should be, is USC administration; & that is the problem.

It seems like it might have been safe to #LetAsnaSpeak at commencement after all, given that USC pulled this event off?

christina, OIL BEACH + other 📚 | mostly @ 🦣 Mdon USC Thank you christina, OIL BEACH + other 📚 | mostly @ 🦣 Mdon and the other organizers. I can scarcely imagine how challenging it's been to organize a conference in these circumstances. I'm so grateful for the chance to present these films at Petrocultures and dismayed that USC's actions have made that impossible.

Lots of amazing folks have just started new faculty jobs, and it's prompted me to reflect on the last 5 years of my TT experience. So here are 15 lessons I wish I'd learned earlier as an academic:
