A 🧵: As Columbia University President succumbed to relentless Republican pressure at the House Education Committee hearing, sacrificing academic freedom to spurious but politically powerful claims of antisemitism, I gave a talk at New York University's Palestinian solidarity occupation.

Today at UCLA, students committed to justice for Palestine established a liberated zone, organizing teach-ins, discussion circles, Passover Seder, music & much more. The student protests across the nation are historic, akin to those against the Vietnam war & S African apartheid.

Also not to be missed at #UAA2024 is the panel on Jennifer Tucker's book 'Outlaw Capital: Everyday Illegalities and the Making of Uneven Development' w/ responses from me, Sergio Montero, Michelle Buckley, & Clara Irazabal. Join us Friday @ 1:45 (Booth 5) ugapress.org/book/978082036…
