“Columbia prof who leads an NYPD intel division that maintains an office in Tel Aviv” is a wild sentence.

in an indie-rock world whose tepid politics are barely to the left of Gal Gadot's 'Imagine' video, Deerhoof brings the real radicalism. plus I recent revisited Holdypaws over breakfast and damn it holds up well.

“horrific new level of killing in the Strip.” The bodies of Palestinian victims appear to have been vaporized

Rights group urges probe into Israeli arms that 'turn victims to ash' thecradle.co/articles-id/24…

I really admire how many young people do not compartmentalize themselves — they do not feel the need to allow shame to separate their serious, silly, political, sexual, professional, activist and educational selves. Takes a lot of courage to be your whole self, always.

I will never forget how Ferguson was unfolding for many days before US corporate media was forced to acknowledge it was happening

It’s always been citizen journalists, local journalists, independent journalists, marginalized journalists covering what ruling class tries to bury

HR 6090 would direct the Dept of Education to use the IHRA working group definition of antisemitism, a controversial and dangerous mis-definition that does not help fight real antisemitism and is only a tool for silencing the movement for Palestinian rights.

Media and algorithms misrepresent the student movement by not reporting its guidelines, focusing instead on those breaking them. These guidelines vary slightly from campus to campus, but every set I've seen forbids weapons, knives, alcohol, and drugs. Nonviolence is at the core.

shoutouts to this deerhoof album. one of the most interesting mashup/cover albums out there

Right now it’s college presidents, congress, the president, CEOs & mainstream media…maybe 10,000 people in the country?…versus most of the 330,000,000 other Americans

Once again— it requires complete delusion to believe the Biden Admin has any intention of defending us from racism or fascism in this term or in another.

Telling people to cool down & simply support Biden is dooming us all to the exact future folks say they fear. Zero sense.

That whole scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds statement has never been more apparent than it is in this moment.

The police will attack you if you protest for Palestine. They’ll attack you for doing mutual aid. They’ll attack you for going on strike. They’ll attack you for demanding affordable housing. They’ll attack you for demanding peace. A better world requires abolition.

Columbia is a liberal school in New York City.
NYC has a Democratic mayor.
New York has a Dem Governor.
The US has a Dem President.

Gonna be hard for Dems to scare kids with the specter of Republican fascism while Democrats are doing this to anti-genocide protestors.

The US state will stop at nothing to continue the slaughter of Palestinians. They will label our own kids nazis, use overwhelming force to crush their dissent, Biden will tank his own reelection just to make sure kids in Gaza can be bombed and starved. Unimaginable depravity.
