This would've been unthinkable even a few years ago. Public opinion is shifting, fast.

If you're a historian of capitalism broadly defined and would like to present your work-in-progress before the seminar I co-chair with Ellie Shermer at the Newberry Library--consider submitting a proposal!

This ugly trend of gyms removing basketball courts to make room for pickleball is the first sign of societal Armageddon. What are we doing?

Amazing. Even as they take American bombs and demand more weapons, Israel’s Ambassador to the UN insults American students to the United Nations General Assembly.

Woke up to the sad sight of NYPD arresting the residents of NYU’s peaceful encampment (that has been a very good and welcome neighbor)

Rashid Khalidi is a treasure.

Anyone who has ever enjoyed RATM & has had even a remote understanding of what that band was about should first laugh with glee and then co-sign immediately. #SomeOfThoseWhoWorkForcesAreTheSameThatBurnCrosses

This is the head of Jewish Studies. Madness.

My husband, Prof. Steve Tamari, is out of the hospital. He will need surgery on his hand, and he is in pain from nine broken ribs. We are asking for time to rest and heal. We will not be taking media interviews at this time. Here is Steve's statement and ways you can support.

No I love that in my country I, a Jewish woman who is proud of my culture and heritage, am considered antisemitic

I have trespassed in peaceful protest.
I have shutdown govt offices in civil disobedience.
I have made the powerful uncomfortable in their routines as I’ve dissented in peaceful but committed disorder.
Those are the American traditions of Thomas Paine, David Thoreau, Rosa Parks

Just to take stock of where we're at: in coalition with the right, a Democratic president is backing a violent crackdown on freedom of speech that will split the coalition that narrowly elected him in support of another state's right to kill and destroy with total impunity.

What's really important is that we condemn property damage at Columbia University.

This is Annelise Orleck who is the head of the Jewish Studies program at Dartmouth and 65 years old.

I wrote about the crackdown on campus protests.

Universities like Columbia, Cornell and Emory trade on Vietnam Era protests to market themselves to student activists. Protest is part of their brand and sales pitch. Now they're punishing students for taking them at their word. 🧵

I await the claims that Bernard Sanders from Brooklyn is an anti-Semite

Professor Annalise Orleck being brutalized by police is heart wrenching. So many of us have learned from her pathbreaking work on social movements. Peace not violence. Peace.

If anti-genocide protesters had orchestrated this sort of brutal assault against Zionist counter-protesters it would be a front page story for weeks. Because it was a Zionist/fascist attack on supporters of Palestinian liberation there’s a mainstream media blackout.
