I clicked this expecting to hear her singing "Aint 2 Proud 2 Beg" or "What About Your Friends" and guess what it ends up being? 😩

At the end of my second year in my PhD program, I declared that I wanted to turn my (future) dissertation into a museum exhibit. Today, it happened! Very blessed, grateful, honored.

@cjoyalways Oh wow.

Waiting until the city pushed almost all of the black southerners out of that neighborhood to set up shop is fascinating

The idea is that within the context of general systemic horror, while it is understandable to do what we need to do in order to have the means of survival under capitalism (i.e. get paychecks), things change when an organized movement makes specific demands. (/end)

[Jess A. Goldberg 🇵🇸 @KempoJesse]

BUT, if a union of workers on that campus were on strike and asking folks not to cross their picket line, then anyone who had a talk scheduled should cancel their talk (and perhaps join the picket line, or, if able, give resources to a strike fund). (7/)

[Jess A. Goldberg 🇵🇸 @KempoJesse]

To continue the picket line analogy, while a particular university might be a generally terrible hoarder of endowment funds and supporter of the military-industrial complex, perhaps one might take their money via honorarium for a talk since all money is blood money, (6/)

[Jess A. Goldberg 🇵🇸 @KempoJesse]

of Israeli institutions during an ongoing genocide, the very clear obligation is to heed the call of that active, organized movement and reject awards that are headquartered at/funded by/chosen by Israeli institutions. (5/)

[Jess A. Goldberg 🇵🇸 @KempoJesse]

Within the larger context of all the prizes and all the paychecks being bloodstained, something particular happens when a movement asks for boycott/divestment/sanction, like when workers ask for a picket line. Since the BDS Movement is asking for academic boycotts (4/)

[Jess A. Goldberg 🇵🇸 @KempoJesse]

are colonial pillars of imperialism, it is also true that responding to that general, constant condition of our existence within an unjust system gets particularly inflected when an active, organized movement by oppressed people makes a specific ask: BDS. (3/)

[Jess A. Goldberg 🇵🇸 @KempoJesse]

Similar to how there's no ethical consumption under capitalism but also we're called on to make contextually ethical decisions, like e.g. not crossing a picket line when workers tell us not to shop somewhere, while it's true that all money is dirty and higher ed institutions (2/)

[Esmat Elhalaby @thaqafatalhind]

We demand you refuse the Dan David Prize not because it's dirty money—all our institutions are complicit, every prize is a cover up—nor simply in response to the genocide in Gaza, but because of the call made by Palestinians 20 years ago for the boycott of Israeli universities.

The Caribbean accounts for less than 0.5% of global fossil fuel emissions and yet we continuously bear the brunt of the climate crisis. We then have to spend our meager GDP rebuilding and countries single-handedly fueling the crisis will look at us and call us “developing”
