She’s…gonna date Cynthia Nixon?
Yusef, a student protester at UCLA, describes the attack at the Palestine Solidarity Encampment Last night. He received 12 staples to the back of his head after being hit by a wooden plank.
When I was 11, I was a victim of police brutality just for being Black in America. Now I see that brutality being inflicted on peaceful students at Columbia and across the country. We must stand with our students to demand liberation for Palestinians and everyone in this world.
Investigate, arrest, prosecute. latimes.com/california/sto…
I stand with the student journalists trying to do their work under impossible conditions. Keep telling the truth as professionally and fiercely as you can. It’s you versus the world right now.
From the auto factories to Amazon warehouses, from screenwriters to Starbucks baristas, workers are rising up, fighting for, and winning the world we deserve. We won't stop until we get it–on this May Day, and every day ✊🏿
the NYPD just posted a highly edited propaganda video, complete with an over-the-top dramatic cinematic score, about their raid on Columbia last night it has to be seen to be believed
Kids on the streets of England, 123 years ago in the year 1901.
I put my hopes in struggle and organization. I put my hopes in the ability of thinking people to create divisions among our opponents. I put my hopes in those who will unite against authoritarianism. And I also know this is a protracted struggle. I didn’t just parachute in.
WATCH-- @chrislhayes: It's easier to argue about what college kids are doing than to confront the human misery and destruction that's happening in the actual conflict which is, of course, the source of these protests.
Some of us have been out of school for a while and may have forgotten our American history. Protesting injustice and expressing our opinions is part of our American tradition and what makes this, in fact, a free country. That’s what the Constitution is all about.

Dozens of my coworkers and I were physically attacked and maced by outside agitators while the university stood idly by. This escalation will not stand—our union will take swift and decisive action.

UAW is meeting the moment by bringing together a militant commitment to shop floor organizing and a moral commitment to working people across the world. This is what international working class solidarity looks like 🌹✊🏽

I don't agree with every slogan of the protests on campus + elsewhere. Some I really dislike. But when people look back they will see this as the moment when a real debate began about university + govt complicity in the oppression of Palestinians. And the protests made it happen.
I meant it - don’t fuck with us
Last night, students and workers protesting peacefully at UCLA for justice in Palestine were physically attacked by a group of 100+ counter protesters. UC’s failure to protect students and workers is an abdication of its responsibility. UAW 4811 members are mobilizing in response

New incredible John Carpenter quote just dropped
Latest newsletter is an interview with the legend John Carpenter on his new album, buying gifts for people, therapy, basketball, Diablo IV, Maestro, directing an episode of TV from his living room, whether he’s a “Nintendo guy,” and more last-donut-of-the-night.ghost.io/john-carpenter…
Lauren Boebert Jamaal Bowman 🤝 Hakeem Jeffries should be Speaker
Boebert: “We are passing the Democratic agenda each and every day …So it makes no difference to me if it’s Hakeem Jeffries as speaker or Mike Johnson.” Bowman says “I’m not” comfortable w Dems voting to save Johnson. “Because Hakeem Jeffries should be the speaker.”
Refreshing honesty: “I opposed protests against apartheid South Africa, too!”
The students (some out of idealism, others out of hateful bigotry) are doing what adolescents and young adults will sometimes do. These faculty, however, are abdicating multiple responsibilities, as mentors, scholars, and officers of instruction of the university.
I'm worried the NPC majority is trying to decree its democratic legitimacy through a (now financially avoidable) fight with the union, rather than doing the much harder & longer work of winning this legitimacy politically by building trust and hegemony through our collective work
@evancholerton @mattdpearce @newsguild Honestly you don't have to do anything besides vote like 2x a year for the people or proposals that would stop us from making foolish decisions like we're doing now (if you join socialistmajority.com or groundwork caucus you'll get texted when to)
Gentle reminder that most people have done something indefensible in their lives and the brave ones admit it, learn something, and do better moving forward. There's no need to double down on being wrong.
I wrote this tweet too quickly this morning and made an honest but important mistake, which I want to apologize for & correct. I saw a comrade’s post essentially saying that the NPC couldn’t be a boss because it’s elected, which is an argument (as pointed out by @thehousered)…
…for an incredibly narrow view of trade unionism that undermines the legitimacy of the unions that millions of U.S. workers (and thousands of DSA members, including me!) are part of. I’m honestly shocked and appalled that anyone in B&R is still co-signing this
