I unequivocally condemn @Tulane deploying mounted police against peaceful protestors.
2020: We are pleased to announce our new Malcolm X Center for Self-Righteous Guilt! 2024: If you have come into contact with the tear gas deployed near the Malcolm X Center for Self-Righteous Guilt please be sure to change your soiled clothes and rinse your eyes with dish soap.
Not bad. Not bad at all.

My office was right by the encampment, and I cannot understand how it interferes with exams. It’s that little red circle. Not a single notable the protest in the history of modern protest would meet the requirements of “acceptable” protest from many past free speech advocates.

The AAUP & our chapters defend the right to free speech & peaceful protest on university campuses, condemn the militarized response by institutional leaders to these activities, & vehemently oppose the politically motivated assault on higher education. 🧵

Hey there, doing my occassional re-up of this: I'm looking for more pitches for a column I edit in @MotherJones called Mother Tongue. The pieces are 600 to 800 words, and the pay is $1000. You can email me at jrosenberg@MotherJones.com
I feel dumb saying this because it is so obvious, but I haven't seen anyone point it out... Pro-Palestine Encampments mirror Israeli settlements in the West Bank. They are both viewed by (many) authorities as illegal and invasive.
I don't know if we're witnessing the beginning of the end of the neoliberal university, but we are certainly seeing its true face: pabulum about care, belonging, diversity, equity, and inclusion mixed with coercive, violent practices of control and discipline.

Columbia declares a "state of emergency," and for what? Where is the violence? Trespassing is not an emergency -- not even close. Whatever the threshold for censoring student protests on a university campus is, Columbia is still very far from it.

I’m on the scene at UT Austin. Protesters sittting with linked arms in the center of the South Lawn as DPS surrounds them. Multiple arrests so far
NOW: Columbia University faculty link arms and form a wall in front of the entrance to the ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment’ as hundreds of students encircle the both lawns Students remaining in the encampment were told they could face disciplinary action after 2PM
Looking forward to the Vox banana allergy explainer.

Had an interview for a hospital janitor job and it ended up sounding cool as hell. It’s specifically for sanitizing and prepping ORs after surgery cases. That sounds like the most fun and exciting cleaning job I can imagine, really hope I get it
Let’s see what this professor studies…oh well whaddaya know
They’re so desperate lmao this is unhinged
it's just extraordinary to me that the right has spent the past half a decade insisting free speech on college campuses was one of the most important issues of our time, and now they're all in favor of club-wielding thugs tackling protesters
Happening now at @UTAustin. State, city, and university police breaking pro-Palestinian protest.
I unequivocally condemn @Tulane deploying mounted police against peaceful protestors.
I wrote a whole book where I described neoliberalism (and other forces) as responsible for postmodernity and Trumpism. I don't know where I've ever defended it in any form
@MattPolProf Dude consider the source and then reconsider your commitment to left neoliberalism
@Tyler_A_Harper @AsadFromNYC LOLLL like theyd tell us how to clear out tear gas
@Tyler_A_Harper This could be a onion headline
Genius tweet
Scene: 2075. Wolves prowl the streets of a nameless Eurasian city. Apartment towers stand vine-tangled and empty. A Mongol rider canters past, trailed by robot cadres. A tattered newspaper headline blows in the breeze: "The far right plan to make you care about the birthrate."
UofC President breaking out etymology to argue with the protests got to be top 3 funniest things to happen so far—hard to top but I believe in university administrators.
Chotiner: And so, let me be clear, you tried to pass off a day’s worth of writing as your book proposal? And you didn’t even read these two sources? Me: Isaac I hear what you are saying b— Chotiner: One more thing. It says here you woke up at noon yesterday?
a Gaza solidarity liberated zone went up at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond today; earlier today Gov. Glenn Youngkin said encampments were “not allowed” on Virginia campuses. video coming out of students being arrested, tear gas deployed
I can't even count how many VCU students were brutalized and gassed just now. And the ominous siren is blaring again. Helping students who were blinded. All are scared for students who were beaten. This is beyond dystopian. I'm so sickened.
Again and again, we see the fundamentally authoritarian nature of neoliberal university administration.

Not bad. Not bad at all.
on this day, meet the sanest university president, @mroth78 - @wesleyan_u is lucky to have him
@Tyler_A_Harper NPR's only coverage of the student protests will be a long piece on their dietary restrictions called "Anaphylaxis: Is it really not just nuts?" or something
My office was right by the encampment, and I cannot understand how it interferes with exams. It’s that little red circle. Not a single notable the protest in the history of modern protest would meet the requirements of “acceptable” protest from many past free speech advocates.
One cannot disrupt the ability of one's fellow students to take exams or graduate with impunity. It's common courtesy and common sense. Such imposition of costs on one's fellows is not free expression.
@zeynep What @Tyler_A_Harper is talking about x.com/tyler_a_harper…
I don’t say this lightly. I think we exist in a culture of fear that cultivates an unreasonable paranoia about worst case scenarios. But it does seem to me that we are careening to a point where we are going to be lucky to get through graduation season without a Kent State.
When students at Brown occupied College Hall for divestment last semester, Mumia Abu Jamal called them from prison. Brown arrested those students. Today Brown again refused to drop the charges. Anyway here’s a replica of Mumia’s cell on exhibit at Brown’s John Hay library
We have to give Ukraine $61 quadrillion tomorrow. Disagree? Putinist scum.
From $61 billion will save the day to $61 billion is not enough — in just one week. Shameless.
