I’m losing my mind listening to congress say the reason behind the TikTok ban is the unregulated influence of a foreign country over American citizens, as I am served commercials to support the Israeli government on every conceivable platform.
The historian in me had to say this publicly:
Any university that allows snipers on the roof of campus buildings in response to a nonviolent student protest is not place of higher learning.
Premature Palestinian baby girl rescued from her dead mother’s womb dies in Gaza after 5 days in an incubator apnews.com/article/gaza-i…
Students across the U.S. are being violently repressed for begging for an end to this horror.
There is so much chaotic, intense, horrible energy in the world right now but I am overwhelmed by how much human goodness there is also, pressing back, pushing forward Things are going to be okay. We are making progress. We are taking our places in history. We will overcome.
And also needs to be said: the reason why the death toll in Gaza hovers at around 32,000 people is for the same reason the death toll from Covid during the Biden Admin stays at 800,000: because they took away any capacity to continue to count the dead.
It’s only hard to understand if you ignore the entire history and structure of policing.
Exactly a year ago, armed neo nazis protested a drag event in Ohio while chanting "there will be blood." The police did nothing. Today, the police are beating college students at Ohio state for protesting against genocide.

Cancelled a graduation for 65,000 because you were afraid of a hijabi Muslim girl saying “Free Palestine”
philosophy chair getting arrested, an econ prof getting her head smashed against concrete, a street medic being held down and tased, snipers setting up vantage points to shoot at ohio state students -all because of nationwide protests against a genocide- you SHOULD be radicalized
I am so sick of the moral panic about everything but killing people.
Columbus Police exactly one year ago when dealing with armed neo nazis vs today when dealing with college protesters.
🚨 cops are viciously attacking students at Ohio state!!

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

Wow—Former spokesperson for hostage families says Hamas offered to immediately release all hostages if IDF didn't invade Gaza "but the government rejected the proposal." Says families weren't notified about invasion + risks it could pose. "Netanyahu has thwarted" hostage release.
“Antisemitism on college campuses”
@MiddleEastEye Here’s @EmoryUniversity economics professor Caroline Fohlin knocked to the ground with her head on the concrete. Her glasses are thrown off. She shouts “I’m a professor” #Gaza #Protesters
Biden is having his own Summer 2024 uprisings and he’s responding in the exact same way Trump did, when in all of 2020 he was blaming Trump, saying things would be different if he were president. Now there are student protesters getting beat up by police along with a genocide.

idk how many times I have to say it
“I followed you for jokes and now you just tweet about Palestine” bro you think I enjoy tweeting about my people dying to airstrikes??
AOC went to the Columbia protest because she was asked to by the organizers, a strategic move that generates visibility, legitimacy & makes them safer. Folks are entitled to criticize any politician, but don't let hot takes online undermine the people on the ground doing the work
While this seems like a good thing, it is not If an armed squad can round up citizens and lock them in cages without enforcing an actual law, then they are NOT “law enforcement officers” They’re a military regime.
New: The Travis County attorney dropped 46 charges after 57 people were arrested at a pro-Palestinian demonstration Wednesday. A spokesperson for the attorney's office said law enforcement lacked probable cause in the cases dismissed. bit.ly/4aOLDa9

“Hell Together” Music Video 🤝🏼 Out Now youtu.be/QpIvz9RuFK4 I am very excited to share this video with all of you. This is a really special song for me. It was inspired by a very special person in my life. My mom. I was touched by her love that she showed to me as her son.…

"US antisemitic incidents up 400% since Israel-Hamas war began, report says" 🥴
Antisemitism, like all prejudice, must be condemned & confronted wherever it rears it’s head. It is NOT antisemitic to protest oppression & war crimes. Jewish protestors have been a significant part of this movement calling for a ceasefire and Palestinian liberation. Don’t get it…
And, for good measure, here's a similarly diverse group of Columbia students holding Kabbalat Shabbat prayers.
My sweet mom. Throwback to a little more behind her story that inspired the new song, #HellTogether. Watch the music video here: youtu.be/QpIvz9RuFK4 Source: @mormonstories
We are nothing without our students. Nothing.
As a historian whose work intersects with Ethnic and Gender Studies, I am disappointed by the careerism that has rendered some faculty of color and faculty in Ethnic and Gender Studies silent, given the history of our fields and the history of our positions.
Given my position, as someone who has benefitted tremendously from academic programs created as a result of student movements - up to and including my future employment, it would be hypocritical not to support student activists right now.
It is not lost on me that student movements in the 1960s, made the position that I will start in the fall possible. Prior to their actions, there were few if any Black faculty at Swarthmore and no Black Studies programming. blacklib1969.swarthmore.edu/about
It is not lost on me that many of the professors I have had and many of the professors I admire hold jobs in tenure lines, departments, and centers created in the 1960s and 1970s as the result of student movements.
In light of events unfolding across our campuses, I think folks who are (or soon to be) tenured and tenure-track faculty would all do well to remember that many of our jobs are the result of hard-won battles between students and university/college administrations.
The historian in me had to say this publicly:
@RepDWStweets Debbie Wasserman Schultz is paid to peddle Israeli propaganda. #RejectAIPAC
This is the Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University. When she saw students being viciously assaulted and the cops told her to step back, she simply said "No." So they arrested her.
Professor Noelle McAfee speaks out after being arrested for standing up against police assaulting a pro-Palestinian protester: "When I saw that young person being pummeled. It was horrific. It felt like it went on forever. Punching, rolling, knocking, and punching."
