Both of them blabbing on about evil dictators and which one of them will fight them best -- while they both kiss the ass of genocidal dictator Netanyahu, and no one asks them why

Credit scores are millennials and as such, our politicians should make them unsure of their futures.

Harvard students walked out of commencement today and turned the day into a protest for Palestine because multiple students weren’t allowed to graduate as a punishment for protesting.

“Harvard University, we know which side you’re on. Remember South Africa, remember Vietnam.”

[Harvard Undergraduate PSC @HarvxrdPSC]

BREAKING: Hundreds of Harvard students and faculty have walked out of commencement in support of Palestine and the 15 seniors having their degrees withheld for protesting a genocide.

People who say “I choose not to engage in politics, it’s so negative, I can only control what’s in my life” need to realize life is politics. Every step of your life. And not paying attention feels appealing to you by design. It’s not a result of your free will.

I’ve asked a few anti-mask, ‘covid is over’ people why they’re so sure the government lied about masks, vaccines, origin etc but can’t consider that the government may ALSO be lying when they say Covid is mild/over/only a threat to the vulnerable.

Today I got an answer. 🧵 /1

This is why avid readers of the New York Times or viewers of MSNBC are so interesting and so dangerous. They will sometimes be fed blatant falsehoods, but far more important is the project of getting them to be focused on the wrong issues.

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

Being uninformed isn't just about believing incorrect facts. It's often, and far more importantly, about focusing on the wrong facts. This is the primary function of the best propaganda.

Hi, so, state sanctioned protests are just parades. Hope this helps.

[Charlene been gone for a while, over on bsky now @CharleneCac]

Y’all gotta let go of the “peaceful protest” desires. It doesn’t matter what people do. It’s never going to be peaceful if it goes against the core interests of the US empire.

Wednesday morning's crackdown on the pro-Palestine encampment at UW-Madison included brutal attacks on protestors, arrests without charges, and a dubious narrative, writes @scottgordonwi

Just to reiterate what disabled people have been saying: the push against masking was always about surveillance.

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

One of the primary functions of police is to violently crush progressive social movements. It's one of the reasons expanding the size and power of police is always authoritarian and is never an answer to inequality. *It is a key part of preserving inequality, in all its forms.*

NYU is having their own faculty arrested instead of divesting from genocide. This is so, so low.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

“Are the protests peaceful?”

Is the GOVERNMENT peaceful?

Are the POLICE peaceful?

Is GENOCIDE peaceful?

Seriously what are y’all talking about 😐

[@[email protected] @Imani_Barbarin]

Given how quickly and gleefully our government will fund genocide, it should piss everyone off how slow they move to do literally anything else.
