[Dr. CBS @drcbs_]

We have to stop conceding perfectly legitimate political tools to the r*ghtwing. Self-defense in ALL FORMS is valid. The opposition is going to brutalize, slander, attack, invalidate, denigrate, and otherwise commit violence against you no matter what you do so stop with the moral suasion.

[Dr. CBS @drcbs_]

The violent response to pro-Palestine anti-genocide students on campus is precisely why folks have been calling for a stop to Cop Cities, cops off campus, defunding police, abolishing police, community control of police, and so on. They brutalize and repress ANY opposition, real or imagined.

the campus is a plantation is a police state is an open-air prison is a plantation.

@HilMalatino As your Filipino friend, I say, 1. I didn’t know there were instructions. And 2. I’m here to help

The pre-tenure academic’s subconscious is a funny thing. Humming (loudly) while slogging through my manuscript draft, I was startled from my stupor by shouting from across the house: “Are you seriously singing The Final Countdown right now?!” Why yes, apparently.
