Everyone making a pro-Israel, anti-protester argument has to explain away A) the civilian deaths in Gaza and B) the fact that many protesters are Jewish. And in practice those two central facts are almost always just... not mentioned. Unsurprisingly you are losing the argument.
Seeing the nice respectable leaders of their schools hysterically repress their protests against mass death is the best education that college students could possibly get. hamiltonnolan.com/p/college-is-a…

Brilliantly sublime writing from @hamiltonnolan on how to think about the campus protests, the American Spring happening. "The adults who aren’t smart enough to see that the kids are right are a much, much greater tragedy." hamiltonnolan.com/p/college-is-a…
The most valuable thing you can learn in college is "how colleges are part of a bullshit ripoff system" and the hysterical reaction to the protests is a wonderful teaching tool for that. hamiltonnolan.com/p/college-is-a…
This is a good useful thing and also a good reminder that ALL PRESS PASSES ARE FAKE. The first amendment is the only press pass you need in the USA.

Listen to the kids. hamiltonnolan.com/p/young-morali…
College kids need to stop protesting and go to class so they can learn about how people who support civilian massacres and then call in riot police on protesters always go down in history as the good guys

What a brilliant take at the college protests and the obscene handling of them by our elites

@rafat @hamiltonnolan It cuts through the bullshit, right to the bone.
We unequivocally condemn the higher ed administrative/donor class's fascist repression of pro-Palestinian, anti-genocide speech, learning, & protest. And we condemn @Princeton & campus police for silencing our @TheRealNews colleague @ChrisLynnHedges. Fight like hell against this
Former NYT Middle East correspondent Chris Hedges was reading a poem for Palestinian children at Princeton's protest for Gaza when campus police appeared to interrupt him. He was just led away from the protest to chants of "shame" and "let him speak."

He’s correct about the lack of national coverage, but Labor Notes, co-founded by auto workers and others, has consistently written about big wins in South from Blue-Bird last year to Volkswagen. Make it go viral! labornotes.org/2024/04/tennes…
For decades, carmakers have sought to evade unions by setting up shop in the right-to-work South, w/ huge implications for workers nationwide. This has intensified in the EV era. Not sure why the UAW vote at VW Chattanooga isn't getting more attention as the watershed it is.
