[Dr. Mia Brett @QueenMab87]

There has been a surge in antisemitism AND Islamophobia AND anti Palestinian racism AND the weaponization of antisemitism. Talking only about antisemitism in this moment is a weaponization & ignores harm to other communities

[Abigail Smithson @DearAdamSilver]

Don’t be jealous!

@DearAdamSilver @kylegriffin1 But who is Kyle Griffin and why does he get to share hosting responsibilities!

[Austin McCoy @AustinMcCoy3]

Imagine complaining about cancel culture on college campuses and then also being okay with a university cancelling a valedictorian’s speech.

But we all knew free speech wasn’t really the issue, it’s been about the power to determine acceptable speech

[Austin McCoy @AustinMcCoy3]

live in a country where fast food and retail workers get fired when their cash registers come up short, but if you're a college or university president who mismanages your institution to the tune of $75 or $240 million, you'll could renew your contract or fail upward. capitalism

[Abigail Smithson @DearAdamSilver]
