10 past ALA presidents, more than half of whom were in that role prior to 9/11, have posted a letter taking issue with the change to ALA's Core Values, suggesting that in the face of 'the worst ring-wing attack' since McCarthy, we should be retreating to the old foundation.

Begging some of you to imagine how you'd feel about this exact sequence of events if the president was the other guy.

Here is a letter from UCLA faculty and staff to Chancellor Gene Block, with a set of demands in support of the students’ encampment sites.google.com/view/nopolicea…

I'm a UCLA professor. Why didn't the administration stop last night's egregious violence? forward.com/opinion/608479…

UCLA faculty are in the encampment, prepared to be arrested in order to protect students.

We're updating this today—I see new arrests in NY, at Tulane, Cal Poly Humboldt, University of Madison Wisconsin and the University of South Florida but please let me know if you've seen any other arrests in the past 12 hours!

We need to collectively invest in non-university-based collectives for thinking, publishing, employing, and organizing. If it wasn't already obvious to you that the university is all but entirely captured by the neoliberal-imperial police state, it should be now after last night.

All of this to stifle a righteous plea to end a genocide.

I’m a tenured, Black, queer, disabled professor at UW-Madison. I support my students’ right to protest & I will always put my body on the line to protect them if needed. Today it was needed. Shame on this university, the chancellor & every cop involved in this mess.

Things are continuing to escalate after Brown, Vanderbilt, Pomona, Columbia, Cal Poly Humboldt, Emerson, UT Austin, Emory, ASU, WashU, USF, Tulane, CUNY, NYU, VCU, UCLA, and on and on. It’s so much brutality, all so political leadership can avoid acknowledging ongoing genocide…

It’s actually our imperative duty to never forget and never let these racist, genocide apologist celebs off the hook for what they said months ago. They’re only changing their tune now because of how badly they’re getting cooked.

Variety This woman called all Gazans rapists. She advocated for genocide. She's a hateful racisf Islamophobe and she also has never been funny in her entire miserable life.

Why are you giving a redemption tour to a bigot? Pick someone smarter and actually funny instead of this creepy…
