@tab_delete No, I asked you who do you think you are writing to me in the tone you did directing me to take down a tweet. It had nothing to do with the fact that you disagreed with me, but that you did so disrespectfully (no greeting, etc) and with some sense of assumed power.

It’s interesting to see when journalists lean into “objectivity” and when those commitments fall away. I’ve consumed a lot of media regarding protests in recent weeks and one of the most striking bits has been the near-universal willingness to speak derisively about protestors.

When protests are not about actually explaining your cause or trying to engage journalists who are there to listen. ⁦@Peggynoonannyc⁩ describes her visit to Columbia before the raid.

@tab_delete I’ll share here what I said in reply to your disrespectful email to me. I don’t take directives from anybody, and I am not starting by taking any directives from you.

In 1962, we organized sit-ins to end racist policies at the University of Chicago. In '63, I was arrested protesting segregated schools. But we were right. I’m proud to see students protesting the war in Gaza. Stay peaceful and focused. You’re on the right side of history.

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.

A Columbia student broke a window to stage a sit-in in a building, and an army of cops were set in against them. At UCLA, a pro-Israel lynch mob shoots fireworks at peaceful protesters, pepper sprays them and then beats them to a pulp, and the cops are standing around watching.

NYPD forcibly removed hijabs from multiple muslim columbia students in jail, we kept chanting “let her wear her hijab” over and over from inside our cells. one of them was told to shut up by an officer when she demanded to get back her hijab. columbia unleashed these pigs on us.

Remember, the NYPD is doing this knowing that everyone is watching and that Columbia is an Ivy League school. Now just imagine what they do every day in neighborhoods where the press isn’t watching. Exactly.

Today, I received word from Stanford that they will not discipline the students who illegally recorded and doxxed me in clear violation of the University Code of Conduct. My takeaway from this is that I should be allowed to doxx them too. Bismillah, here we go!🧵

Out of respect for Nourya Cohen, I won't post her picture. She was nice at first, but I'm almost certain that she played a huge part in illegally recording and baiting me with dangerous questions, like "would you want Biden to be killed?"

Next up: Hannah Levin. This undergrad in CS tried to get me fired from my TA-ship in a huge CS class, simply for protesting her pro-genocide tent OUTSIDE of the classroom. Naturally, Stanford ignored her (And in fact, I got an offer to TA that class the following quarter).

Next is his girlfriend, Michelle Karlsberg. She was very triggered by my "Ask Me About Jihad" sign. I also recall her saying she was not a white girl because she's hispanic... Anyway, she was active with the pro-genocide and Islamophobic tent. linkedin.com/in/michelle-ka…

First one is obvious: Kevin Feigelis. Founder of the pro-genocide Blue and White Tent. Very Islamophobic and ignorant individual. Doxxed many pro-Palestinian students, including myself, and pretended he was a victim in front of Congress. linkedin.com/in/kevin-feige…

A sitting Senator, labels Americans protesting against a foreign country accused of carrying out a genocide funded with our tax dollars as terrorists and puts a target on their back to be attacked. This is insanely dangerous and somehow no one will condemn it.

If any kid is hurt tonight, responsibility will fall on the mayor and univ presidents. Other leaders and schools have found a safe, de-escalatory path. This is the opposite of leadership and endangers public safety. A nightmare in the making. I urge the Mayor to reverse course.

NEW - @NYCMayor says Columbia protest has been "co-opted" and is going to share their intel, he says at 1 Police Plaza. He advises students involved in the protest to leave the area and tells parents to tell their kids to leave "before the situation escalates."

remember when there was this discourse about whether or not Katniss was white and people shut it down and said it wasn’t worth talking about bc why would that make a difference in the context of her story about being exploited by a totalitarian regime…

If you’re worrying about Biden’s proposed capital gains tax, remember that it doesn’t affect you. Do you make over $1 million a year? No? Then your taxes won’t go up. For ONCE, a president is taxing the rich instead of us, & rich people want to convince YOU to be upset about it.

@Turner_on_X @CaptainVirgilx @stillgray Next time you pop out a watermelon through a 2 inch hole, then deal with the ensuing hormonal onslaught, you can have an opinion about this. Cooking dinner takes a lot more than "mere" minutes. If it's in the microwave, then why can't he do it himself? Geez, selfish much?

While this seems like a good thing, it is not If an armed squad can round up citizens and lock them in cages without enforcing an actual law, then they are NOT “law enforcement officers” They’re a military regime.
