Shocking footage shows several officers at Washington University St. Louis beating a professor, slamming him, and dragging his limp body. SIUE history professor Steve Tamari is reportedly hospitalized with broken ribs and a broken hand. One doctor told him he's lucky to be alive.

Columbia University Gives Students Option To Finish Classes From Prison bit.ly/3xY3X1R
1. The @guardian points out today that "Israel has also destroyed every university in Gaza, in addition to killing at least 5,479 students, 261 teachers and 95 university professors, according to the UN, which has condemned Israel’s actions as “scholasticide”." 2. And yet there…

Endless HISTORIC HEAT in AFRICA Widespread MINIMUM temperatures between 31C and 34C in Burkina Faso,Mali and Niger with max temperatures of 43C/47C. Deadly heat has been going on for months and there is no end in sight in any foreseeable future. Absolutely unprecedented.

Northwestern President Michael Schill changed the student code of conduct *THIS MORNING* to ban tents from campus as students set up their Palestine protest encampment. And he threatened students with suspension, expulsion or criminal charges. chicago.suntimes.com/israel-hamas-w…
The question of whether the student left is likely correct on a divisive geopolitical issue is a matter of basic pattern recognition at this point.

Agreed. I sure hope those close to him reiterate this. Mayor Johnson should publicly refuse to participate in Northwestern’s police action against their own students.

TWO mass graves found in one week. Both from hospitals. Both with bodies handcuffed and in scrubs. Let that sink in.

I've seen no credible reporting of actual antisemitic incidents at the UT Austin protest. What I can tell you is that I've reported on numerous neo-Nazi events and Greg Abbott never once tried to put any of them in jail.

For @Parapraxis_Mag I thought a little about student protests for Palestine, the securitization of universities, the rhetoric of “safety,” and the spectacular distractions of America’s libidinally charged obsession with the things that happen “on campus.” parapraxismagazine.com/articles/the-c…
In Gaza, the United Nations says famine is likely to set in by the end of May. For those living under Israel’s attacks and a crippling blockade, every day is a race against time. nyti.ms/4dbsHnC

A thing I think about a lot: the main issue on campus when I was at UChicago was a push by activists to have the university open a trauma center, partially to help shooting victims. Much discussion about how unworkable and moronic it was. Anyway, it's been open for six years now.
There has never been a “nonviolent,” “peaceful,” or “civil” investment in a genocidal state.
Listen to the student broadcasters instead: radio.net/s/wkcr
On CNN @andersoncooper won’t stop implying that the students occupying the hall aren’t students. He’s not disclosing and explaining what this is based on.
A sizable, bipartisan group of very powerful people want to see kids get their heads bashed in
Israeli scholar of the Holocaust @bartov_omer argues that accusations of antisemitism levied at campus protests against Israel's occupation of Palestine are disingenuous. “There’s nothing threatening about opposing occupation or oppression."
Biden team pulling the emergency lever
BREAKING: In a historic shift, the U.S. moves to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug, AP sources say. apnews.com/article/mariju…
Summers deplores the Palestinian flag as in itself an anti-semitic symbol. Biden condemns use of a standard Arabic phrase ... And what triggers this derangement are campus protests not events in Palestine. Dem establishment are completely losing their minds.
A new statement from the White House in response to the news of Columbia protestors taking over a campus building.
This is what the violence we're seeing on campuses is designed to defend.
Rafah is being decimated, there is nowhere else left to go. Israel is now bombing more than 1.7 million civilians trapped in Rafah, Gaza's last place of refuge. A massacre is happening in Rafah right now and the world is silent.
Professor Steve Tamari is a historian of the early modern Middle East. He is a Palestinian Quaker from Jaffa and Little Rock. I look forward to a statement from the American Historical Association.
Shocking footage shows several officers at Washington University St. Louis beating a professor, slamming him, and dragging his limp body. SIUE history professor Steve Tamari is reportedly hospitalized with broken ribs and a broken hand. One doctor told him he's lucky to be alive.
“In your desperate effort to deflect attacks from the likes of Elise Stefanik, you have abandoned the principles of academic freedom—including our obligation to engage in truthful, accurate, and nuanced discourse—and sacrificed the safety of our colleagues.” - Robin Kelley
"You are keeping no one safe, except for your donors, trustees, and the university’s endowment," writes Robin D. G. Kelley in a letter to Columbia President Minouche Shafik: bostonreview.net/articles/lette…
The optics of this is wild
People are passing food and water through the gates to the Columbia University Gaza Encampment protesters. Columbia has completely shut down access to campus to try to starve the encampment.
Senator, word of advice: Take your message to the candidates, not the communities whose families are being slaughtered. Arab Americans aren’t on the ballot in November - Biden and Trump are. Not going to be lectured by someone who believes Palestinian lives are disposable.
That’s America and democracy—the absolute right to exercise one’s voice. In 2024, it comes with a tremendous responsibility: turn your back on Biden and you embrace Trump. If you play with that fire and deliver Trump a Michigan win, you own that burn.
Without exaggeration, at least a third of conservative argumentation now is, "Yeah? Well...you're ugly."
Attractive, smart ppl don’t join these protests. They have good lives and don’t need fake activism to make themselves feel special.
it's very funny to drag these dudes for their poorly fitted suits but they're fascists trying to coopt disaffected young men is the thing
Damn, his work seems woke as hell.
NEW: One of the most outspoken supporters of the Columbia encampment, classics professor Joseph Howley, is leading a review of the required humanities curriculum for all undergraduates. Every student at Columbia will have to read the texts he assigns.🧵
This is what stands between us and fascism?
New: 21 House Democrats led by Reps. Gottheimer and Goldman sent a letter to Columbia’s board of trustees telling them to “act decisively” to end the encampment or resign. It’s a major escalation of Democrats’ rhetoric. @axios axios.com/2024/04/29/hou…
