Goldstein's massacre and the Huwara pogrom are two horrific examples of a larger pattern: using the language of Jewish safety and potential annihilation to justify state and settler violence, writes @LexieB2.

Police murder. Then lie. Then are exposed. We mourn. Protest. Demand change. Protests are demonized. Then co-opted. Then ignored.

Rinse, wash, repeat.

This is learned helplessness. Unlearn it. There are people organizing to defund and abolish policing near you. Find them.

We have to be kept busy at all times because the more free time we have to reflect on things, the less likely we are to tolerate it. That’s also why they’re terrified of access to education in prisons

Community service & social justice are not the same thing.

Community service is when you volunteer at a homeless shelter. Social justice is when you demand housing for everyone as a human right.

@chrisprener @ketracel_shiroi @SLU_Official Thank you for this link @chrisprener. My first years in my Ignite Seminar want to know more about this history. I will add this to what we discuss.

[Ilene Berman @nodhouse]

@chrisprener @ketracel_shiroi Thanks for keeping this history alive, there is so much @SLU_Official could do, I am not sure I share your hope for institutions ;)

@chrisprener @ketracel_shiroi in case anyone goes looking - the statue is in SLUMA (Saint Louis University Museum of Art) on Lindell, not MOCRA (Museum of Contemporary Religious Art)

@glorialnolan asking important questions here @SLU_Official (my employer)

[Gloria Nolan❗️ @glorialnolan]

Good morning everyone except SLU 🙄 We don't need another failed charter school experiment in this city, especially by this dude. Nobody asked you for this except the people trying to make a buck off of education.

This is the wrong question. Biden didn’t “go wrong”, he was never ambitious. Many wanted to see that in him but it wasn’t there. If he is less popular now it is because some are allowing themselves to see/hear what was always truly there.

[The New Statesman @NewStatesman]

In just 18 months, his ambitious agenda has been demolished – along with his popularity. Where did the president go wrong?
