Domestic policy too. It’s how we get ICE.
a lot of people on here don't want to admit it but anti-arab racism is a load bearing pillar of US liberal foreign policy consensus

I will say maybe someone on our side is also paying 7k + because calling Ms Rachel of “can you say Mamaaa” fame a leading antisemite for saying “don’t kill children” tells millions of parents that you are off your rocker. Like it’s Fed level stupid.

The "campus free speech types are hypocrites" line of commentary is very well-worn, so I won't belabor the point much further. But it feels worth noting that *unions* are the organizations actually fighting for freedom of speech on many college campuses...

This is bananas.
But also faculty please now more than ever make your rubric on memos/ writing super explicit.
This would fail in my class because it doesn’t “meaningfully engage readings.” Protect yourself as much as possible from engaging on politics.
Hope this prof sues the shit out of them.

The most embarrassing thing about me is I love academia despite its toxicity. For years I’ve been unable to recommend it as a career path. But today as more institutions are relinquishing what ever made these institutions worthwhile I am not sure the enterprise as a whole will last much longer.

Have yall be following this German animal rights group “rescuing” 4 donkeys from Gaza through an Israeli animal rights org? To give them a better life & “save” them? Donkeys that literally can move goods & till fields? All this while denying humans refuge? I shouldnt be but I’m flabbergasted.

ICE arrested military spouses at green-card interviews. Think about that: people married to U.S. service members, following the legal process, pulled into detention. If even military families aren’t safe, then no one is.

We went to see balloons inflated ahead of the parade & my kid had a meltdown. Another mom was so sweet distracting him. Then she said “I wish they had a ms Rachel float. Do you follow her instagram? She’s amazing.” I LOVE how she’s become parent code for “ I’m against genocide”

Looking forward to this book.

I wrote a book about US media’s complicity in the Gaza genocide. It's available for pre-order. It’s a data-driven and, I hope, thorough account of how center-left media sold the American public on mass death in Gaza.

I ran into an advocate who told me that the 9 men detained from Canal Street last month struggled to find legal representation. Historically, Black immigrants experience disproportionately *more* removals than any other group. Anti-Black racism fuels US immigration in *every* way.

Two children have been killed every day in Gaza since the so-called ceasefire began.
Why has this disappeared from the headlines?
The genocide never ended — and our government is still complicit.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.
