Why are people surprised by Latinos for Trump? They’ve wanted proximity to Whiteness since the days of I Love Lucy.

Missouri was the first state to pass an abortion ban after Roe was overturned. Tonight, they became the first state to reverse a total ban

The U.S. has a deep identity issue. We want to claim feminism but love the patriarchy. We want to be multiracial but love white supremacy. We‘re a “nation of immigrants,” but hate the recent ones. We’re “heroes” ignoring our villainy.

I’ve been scared to speak up more about Gaza. I feel unburdened to share I’ve been targeted & disparaged, as a Black woman physician, by nefarious forces within medicine, because of my pro-humanity stance, but NO MORE. I CANNOT be more scared than Palestinians in this moment.

This is unprecedented. Brown University strikes a deal with its students to end their peaceful protest & encampment, in exchange for a formal divestment vote from Israeli interests. And no student will be punished for protesting. This is democracy at work.

Something that irks me about takes like this is how people who consider themselves to be informed seem to be unwilling to see how protesting activists do connect these issues.

There are tons of articles about reproductive health access in Palestine and the parallels with the US.

universities have never been safe. the veil is being lifted. from sexual violence to hazing to censorship, there is so much hidden violence sanctioned and now ordered by administrators.

[A.J. Bauer @ajbauer]

We teach our students that history is contingent. That the world can be otherwise. And then our employers send in the police to beat that lesson out of them.

@biancaphd Incredulous is all I got right now. They’ll probably be more money paid to bail funds that college education tonight.

This country has more force for student protesters than they did for Jan. 6 or white supremacists marching through campuses with Tiki torches.

[Aditi @aditilrao]

this is going to radicalize a generation towards police abolition and towards university abolition, we will remember the date april 30, 2024.
