There are snipers on the roof of the school where I got my MA. There are police beating students at the school where I got my PhD. At each school, I studied authoritarian regimes and how they brainwash people into believing that state brutality is not only normal, but deserved.
How many more cranky old pundits who haven't been in a college classroom in decades are going to weigh in with a "kids these days" column, just asking

Why has the Gaza war spun colleges into chaos? Because campuses have weakened as actual communities, where people mingle, interact and get to know and trust each other. My latest column: cnn.com/2024/04/26/opi…
The video of Monroe County DA Sandra Doorley fleeing and berating police has gone viral, and understandably so. But her 10+ year career as DA is filled with miscarriages of justice and abuses of power. A quick thread 🧵
Seven lessons learned from a quarter century in a war-oriented society. It's 2001—the year the movies promised we'd make contact with aliens—and the United States has rather recently been attacked by terrorists who flew passenger planes into buildings. the-reframe.com/war-or-nothing/
There’s no way anyone truly believes that teenagers in tents on college lawns w/ posters & chants requires men with guns to show up. The police are summoned to threaten, to repress, to create fear. This is the core of their role. It was never about community safety.
In corrupt DA Sandra Doorley’s honor, presenting here the real story of bail reform she’s long fought against. Ordinary stories of people going about their lives. Freedom, health, safety, immense taxpayer savings.
Just saw this clip from the documentary “The Day the ‘60s Died” about the students killed at Kent State and god. Speechless and horrified.
I don’t know how to explain how it feels to sleep in my own bed tonight because my friends and peers stood up to defend me. We are so powerful when we stand together. Fuck em — I’m staying home.
This is a good explanation, and I'm sorry I piled on

These images are from Cordoba, Argentina, yesterday (Apr 23). An estimated 100,000 students and allies in the streets, protesting the new government's cuts to higher education. My son was there. No cops in riot gear. No violent arrests.
Funny, isn't it, how a guy in the Syracuse suburbs can murder 2 police officers with a modified AR-15, and we really hear almost nothing about him. It's almost like he doesn't fit some narrative, and these deaths have no polical utility
I’m horrified by the events at NYU and Columbia. The naked, fluorescent hypocrisy of institutions that have spent the last four years bleating about anti-racism and police reform sending in cops in riot gear to round up students the moment it’s convenient is appalling. 1/
Some people on the left think I’m some pseudo-left reactionary crank for criticizing DEI, wokeness and social justice discourse at universities. But as I’ve been arguing all along, criticizing this shit matters because it is the smokescreen behind which corporate power hides. 6/
As many as 1.2 billion people could be displaced globally by 2050 due to climate change and natural disasters. “Each of these statistics is a man, woman, or child whose life has been destroyed, who has lost home, family, and friends." Me for @voxdotcom: vox.com/climate/241330…
NYC can’t have affordable housing because we need an army ready to attack people protesting genocide.

The conflict over Columbia U's Gaza Solidarity Encampment pits an Egyptian-born school president against a student movement largely led by Arabs and Muslims protesting Israel's genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip. Goaded by Republican members of Congress and the Israel lobby,…

@MayorofIrvine just put out a statement. “I am asking our law enforcement to stand down. I will not tolerate any violations to our students rights to peacefully assemble and protest.”
A generation of kids who grew up fearful of guns in their schools are being met by their institutions with guns for protesting against sending guns to another country using them to murder kids. America the beautiful
Sniper on the roof of the IMU. Absolutely unhinged response to a nonviolent encampment by a murderous and paranoid police state.
Worth stopping for a minute to appreciate the fact that we've completely normalized banning peaceful protests & calling in militarized riot police to violently arrest the protesters. Trump is a dangerous symptom. But he's not the disease.
Happening now at @UTAustin. State, city, and university police breaking pro-Palestinian protest.
The US has been killing kids. They are just going to add white college kids to the roster.
This is building up to USA killing kids, isn’t it? Truly horrific!
As the well worn Stuart Hall quote goes, “Politics does not reflect majorities, it constructs them.” A lot of these students probably don't have a long engagement with or passion for Palestinian liberation, but the ones who do are constructing a new majority before our eyes.
BREAKING: 90.99% of @BarnardCollege students have voted to divest from israel.
“You see, in America, you have a system,” says the Uber driver in DC. He praises the US education system for teaching people if their party loses an election, it’s okay, there will be another. Adds an extended soliloquy on the US Constitution and how beautiful the Bill of Rights…
Getting hit by a bus, also known as a 60 minute massage in only 0.1 seconds
There are snipers on the roof of the school where I got my MA. There are police beating students at the school where I got my PhD. At each school, I studied authoritarian regimes and how they brainwash people into believing that state brutality is not only normal, but deserved.
Every time someone is surprised to hear I’m Christian and believe in god, I tell them that I believe in a god with a sense of humor. Never say if it’s any good or not though.
Y’all will really do anything but actually listen to the students telling you to stop funding a genocide… this is crazy😭
When you have to use all the vocabulary words of the week to get the extra credit.
Lyft driver: “I always like picking you up. The woman who gets everyone angry. My hero.” Thanks…I think?
I will never understand the thing that makes someone in Doorley’s position not just stop and eat the speeding ticket. What exactly has she been getting away with (and for how long) that would lead to such an astonishing amount of entitlement?
One day I will have enough money to fund original projects
The Russo Brothers say they are now waiting for a script for Guy Ritchie’s live-action ‘HERCULES’ remake for Disney. (Source: gamesradar.com/russo-brothers…)
I think it's interesting how many disparaging comments about protesters today could have (and were) deployed almost identically against Vietnam protesters
The protests involve small numbers of people and are taking place at some of the most privileged and "bubble-ish" places in the entire world. It's cool to be interested in them - I'm interested in them! ' - but this is the opposite of a mass populist movement.
This echoes Ariel Sharon's advisor's rationale for the Gaza "disengagement" a generation ago, slow it down, drag it out, concede nothing, blame them. Rinse. Repeat.
"As 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗲 as the 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝘀𝘀, as 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲-𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 as the 𝗗𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗵, or 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗺 as the 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀": When this is what the 🇮🇱 opposition leader, Y. Lapid, has to say about the 2-state solution, it's hard not to lose out all hope. haaretz.com/opinion/2024-0…
Why do all the people who say "grow up" believe that blind obedience and acceptance of injustice are signs of a adulthood instead of signs of infantilization ? Weird.
I really like the monopoly image they choose, given that US businesses are extracting profits in large part through anti-competitive actions.
