a delayed analysis but thinking about how Eric Adams deployed hundreds of cops with all their military equipment to a CUNY school while he cuts millions from the CUNY budget. For new York’s college students no classroom repairs or resources, just police
One demand students are calling for is Israeli divestment. Divestment is not a new request. In fact, it’s been asked for many times, most notably in the 80s to protest South African apartheid. What is less talked about is why colleges will resist divestment more than ever. 🧵/1
TACTICS IDEAS THREAD: For students who want to grow the Gaza Solidarity mvmt on their campus and are looking for creative outreach methods or programming ideas. Here’s a thread of some tactics –– some inspired by the already existing camps. Please reply w/ your suggestions!
Here.
Don’t usually do *this* but, thread: Monday, SCOTUS debates the criminalization of homelessness. That means many folks are sounding off on the topic. I’ve spent 4 yrs covering this for @washingtonpost, and need to reality-check assumptions getting thrown around this week (1/x)
I hope every LS attorney moves for discovery on every case where there is a viable ground to believe that no portfolio exemption exists. I certainly plan on it.
This week one of our anti-eviction attorneys, Miriam Shestack, published a reflection on going on strike from @MFJLegal in the @hlrecord. Take a look! hlrecord.org/diary-of-a-leg…

🚨EMERGENCY ACTION🚨: TOMORROW [4/15] @ 10AM The Governor, The Legislature, & the landlords want to gut the 2019 rent laws and return us to the era of mass displacement. They want to ram this through the State budget as soon as Monday. Tenants are here to stay, here to fight!
ICYM: “There’s so many people in shelters, and just living on the streets. Fill the apartments!” Among other things, this is a story about Crown Heights apartments that have been sitting empty for a year+ citylimits.org/2024/04/09/sta…
I'm disappointed that my reps @AMBichotte and @kevinparkernyc are not on this list. Tenants in our district need stronger protections against displacement during this unprecedented affordable housing crisis.

NYPD is ARRESTING TENANTS + @JumaaneWilliams just for standing up for housing justice. Real estate has taken over New York. Evictions are violent and we will NOT BE SILENCED.
UAW President Shawn Fain on the @MFJUnion strike: "MFJ, a nonprofit that claims to be in support of social justice and progress, has hired scabs. So I want to be direct here. The management at MFJ is a disgrace."

Wow. This was a fun architectural thread following up on 770.
In the application of proceedings issued by South Africa against Israel 🧵 This is just taken from pages 59-61 and it’s HORRIFIC but essential reading.
6/6 Sayle's message quotes one of their statements: "Instead of looking to Israel to make Jews safe, we look instead to solidarity. Freedom, justice, and equality for Palestinians and Jews everywhere.” Please share his video far and wide! youtu.be/jnbDn3ghqbk?si….
With it being near impossible for foreign journos to report from Gaza, and local journos under bombardment, it's been difficult to cover this conflict. Still, media orgs have published imp investigations that shed light on how Israel has been conducting this war. A thread:

I'm delighted to share my big career news! This week, I’ll be starting a new job at the British Library as a Reference Specialist for Rare Books. It took two master’s degrees and six years of hard work for my special collections library dream to come true, and I finally did it!
Good Morning! Wishing one and all a good day and start of the week. Heading to where I need to be, with Winnie-The-Pooh. Take care, be safe, and be well. 🫶
Just a reminder NYPD is not allowed to release mugshots unless the person poses a present danger to the public (ie a wanted poster). NYPD routinely ignores this law and gives mugshots of protestors, who don’t meet the criteria for releasing their mugs, to the New York Post.
It is the world’s greatest city, correct.
YES, for the W. Excellent precision craftsmanship where it is both highly decorative and highly functional.
ok this is out of left field but does anyone want to do a BLACK RECONSTRUCTION IN AMERICA reading group this summer?
all of this is not to say that I don’t like Zadie Smith or her writing - her and jane Austen will always be the writers who I grew up with and whose fiction I love - but this is how I think we should engage with writers. Rigorously!
It’s a critical and political habit we have to rebuild: rather than investing in representation & inclusion in the current system - & therefore uncritically definding any1 who does makes it - what if we demanded transformation & engaged critically with those who have made it?
“Whose students? Our students? Whose CUNY? Our CUNY! You’ll have to get through us to get to our students!” @CUNY faculty protest student arrests at @CityCollegeNY last week and call on @ChancellorCUNY to ask for withdrawal of charges
The people of NYC spend $10B per year (incl. retirement benefits and lawsuit payouts) on the NYPD, and this is what we get--a Chief of Patrol who is a right-wing troll.
Good evening, from NYC to Chicago and I’m sure for a few other cities, Who is funding this? What is happening? There is an unknown entity who is radicalizing our vulnerable students. Taking advantage of their young minds. As parents and Americans we must demand some answers! I…
That the protestors have become the site of focus and controversy—and not the unfolding genocidal ethnic cleansing that they were trying to draw attention to—is a real lesson in avoidance and displacement, in the lengths people will go to avoid confronting a moral catastrophe.
There is no floor
How is this the context sentence for northern Gaza from the New York Times (in a piece about "full-blown famine" in the north)? Really?
wowww NYU faculty striking and withholding final grades until demands are met!!!!
BREAKING: Faculty have joined the strike pledge, joining graduate student workers in pledging to withhold final grades until @nyuniversity meets our demands. Sign the pledge at linktr.ee/graderefusalnyu
There's little more to say about the rancid racism of the @nytimes. It cannot speak truths where they're needed, it can find endless blame for the victims of Israel's genocide, and it dare not describe plainly what is happening - a basic dereliction of basic journalism
How is this the context sentence for northern Gaza from the New York Times (in a piece about "full-blown famine" in the north)? Really?
As a rule of thumb, if you're a famous writer of fiction who cannot write clearly about a big political issue, it's either because you're not at talented as your prominence suggests, or you're writing propaganda to benefit your career

@jsmooth995 @IBJIYONGI @bomani_jones @djvlad It is unforgivable to go after Prince’s mixes. Dirty Mind was an album of demos. IIWYG is part of an extraordinarily dynamic double album. Heresy.
@jsmooth995 @bomani_jones @djvlad Vlad’s so out of his depth. My mind went directly to P’s song “Sexuality” where he says “…Tourists! …they look through life with a pocket camera. What no flash again?” Meaning because of their narrow view and no flash they can’t see things as they are. Go somewhere, Vlad
