Begging some of you to imagine how you'd feel about this exact sequence of events if the president was the other guy.
we are supposed to believe that the young people working to end mass slaughter are the threat and that the riot squads sent in to brutalize them are the peacekeepers
The extent to which US news orgs have decided that cops beating protesters is normal, and therefore not really worth reporting on, is very, very scary. Every one of these incidents should be front page news.

I think it was watching a Palestinian girl have her leg amputated by her surgeon uncle on a dining room table with a kitchen knife and no morphine, and knowing this is happening because of American munitions — not people trying to get laid or networking for status.

The single most jarring thing I’ve learned from social media time and time again is that so many people *sincerely* cannot imagine that anyone would simply care about other humans

I’m losing my mind listening to congress say the reason behind the TikTok ban is the unregulated influence of a foreign country over American citizens, as I am served commercials to support the Israeli government on every conceivable platform.
No one who sends police or soldiers (if there's even a difference these days) after their own peacefully protesting students should have anything to do with education ever again.

A whole lot of people who've spent years calling the younger generation "snowflakes" now apparently want armed guys in riot gear to protect them from teenagers sitting peacefully on the ground
A girl watching her dad play a drum: violent, scary, worthy of national media attention. Bombs that collapse entire apartment blocks on top of their inhabitants: that's complicated, who can say, who are we to judge, maybe they all had it coming, best to avoid talking about it.

Many prominent journalists should be asking themselves how their sneering, sardonic, slanderous coverage of young people protesting an open campaign of ethnic cleansing will hold up over time. As a historian, I'm pretty sure I know the answer.
What should the punishment be for those who help lie us into disastrous wars of choice that upend entire regions and leaves an ungodly number of innocent people dead?

This really feels like 2003 again, with the people in power carrying out policies that are destructive to the world & also destructive of their own narrow self-interest, but hell-bent on doing so because they have an elaborate ideological system in place to shut out all criticism
On the same day Israeli forces airstrike a husband, his pregnant wife, and their 3-year-old child — and another 17 kids and two women — the White House releases a statement condemning hundreds of interfaith American students protesting the airstrikes in question

palestinian solidarity at campuses is beautiful and it is making me sick seeing people talk about it like it’s a “culture war” issue and not a direct response to young people witnessing a genocide.
Out of all poetry @torontolibrary could have censored, they chose to silence a dead poet murdered in an ongoing genocide who preached hope and love in the face of an apartheid regime.

Protest is not meant to be comfortable. You’re not meant to like protests, you’re not meant to find them convenient. It’s supposed to be uncomfortable—so uncomfortable that it forces the powers that be to listen and change.
As my employer - @Columbia University - calls armed riot police into campus to smash a peaceful protest against a genocide, we must all speak out. My former students have been arrested. I'm proud of you. History will be too. Remember what I said in our first class last year:
