Israel has bombed the main Lebanese University campus. LU is the public university in Lebanon, the largest university in the country, and provides affordable higher education. But most importantly, like all universities in Gaza, it is a legitimate target of Israeli destruction

"Why do people from privileged class backgrounds often misidentify as working class?... these interviewees are able to tell an upward story of career success... while erasing the structural privileges that have shaped key moments in their trajectory."

@esdsantos Chronic depression has significant effects on cognitive abilities and brain activity, including memory Impairment, executive function, processing speed, concentration. This all makes functioning in academia into a hellish activity, esp. when others impose unrealistic expectations

I am excited to share that my podcast episode is out! I learned a lot from my interviewees, especially about the challenges of rationalizing the performance of rituals.
Thanks a lot to @SAPIENS and @HouseOfPod for all the guidance and support!

Ok I just found this amazing directory of student encampments for Palestine and their demands https://t.co/6ZOSp1c4uZ

[BU Grad Workers @gradworkersofBU]

May 1st rally is approaching ! Grads, undergrads, and faculty - whose side are you on?

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

What a fantastic graphic from @ajplus, and more have already been set up.

[American Association of University Professors @AAUP]

It’s worth reminding those critical of the student protests raging across the US: Gaza no longer has universities. Every single university in Gaza has been bombed into oblivion. Hundreds of academics, scholars, professors, & students have been killed since Oct. 7. #scholasticide

[Savannah Shange @savannahshange]

Students at @UTAustin are being violently arrested by Texas State Troopers for expressing their solidarity with Palestinian freedom & the Columbia encampment - contribute to their bail fund & keep teaching about, writing about & fighting for a #FreePalestine!

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Not only did Columbia make the horrific decision to mobilize NYPD on their own students, but the units called in have some of the most violent reputations on the force.

NYPD had promised the city they wouldn’t deploy SRG to protests.

So why are these counterterror units here?

[KVUE News @KVUE]

We're monitoring the pro-Palestine protest at UT as Texas State Troopers move through the crowd: https://t.co/wEkXRKB5CZ
