What are you supposed to do after seeing a man holding up the corpse of a headless baby in the dark surrounded by fires and screaming victims. Nothing can prepare you for this level of horror, my god.
In 2024 you get to see a video of a beheaded baby on your break & then return to work where you don’t make a living wage where your taxes go to the beheading of babies
I'm a professor at @Tulane.
I was present at the Pro-Palestinian protest on campus. I observed Tulane students engaging in peaceful & nonviolent demonstration.
Lift suspensions & drop charges
We condemn the violent & disproportionate police response.
We stand with our students.
Exactly seven month ago, children in Gaza held a press conference in english to beg the world to stop the bombardment. 15,000+ children have been killed since then. No one listened.
My mobile is running out of power..
we are fleeing homes and shelters under heavy #Israeli_bombing..
We don’t know where to go..
If you don’t see my posts again, don’t forget me!
Incredible. The ceasefire mandated release of ALL Israeli hostages, a permanent & indefinite ceasefire—meaning Hamas could never offensively take up arms against Israel again—and Qatar, Egypt, USA, & the UN serving as Guarantors.
Israel still said no.😐

Yom HaShoah, Holocaust remembrance Day, marks the Holocaust and honors the 17 million people murdered during Nazi Germany’s genocide, including 6 million Jews.
We know our remembrance is hollow if we cannot apply the lessons of our past to the present day. 🧵
Every student protesting should know these three things:
1. You are a ray of hope for Gaza: Every person I’ve spoken to in and from Gaza has told me they were losing hope in international solidarity, until these protests started. They said the encampments are their main (for many the ONLY) source of hope now.
2. Your pressure is working: Despite what the US government is saying publicly, under the table these protests have forced them to urgently pursue a ceasefire, including significantly increasing pressure on the Israeli war cabinet.
3. Boards of Trustees across campuses are now divided, with some shifting towards divestment, and asking themselves the question of: Why risk everything to protect weapon companies and war criminals?
Given this rising impact, different tools of deception and oppression are going to be used to shut down your momentum.
Maintaining your eyes on the prize, your unity, coherence of messaging and the moral high ground are central.
You are at the forefront of the struggle for freedom and dignity. Millions across the world have your back.
Until Victory.
The audacity of elected officials to believe they can use our money to fund a genocide without being protested is astounding.
Americans are struggling to afford rent and groceries, healthcare, and education, and you use our tax dollars to slaughter people?
