  1. “But we are unbelievably ignorant concerning what goes on in our country—to say nothing of what goes on in the rest of the world—and appear to have become too timid to question what we are told.

  3. I cannot over emphasize how important student/worker/antiwar solidarity is, and how much of a difference this can make in the politics of war. Compare with the peak month of student protest of the Vietnam War, May 1970: smithsonianmag.com/history/hard-hat-riot-1970-pitted-construction-workers-against-anti-war-protestors-180974831/ x.com/UAWRegion9A/status/1782842155284738088

  4. Allow me to suggest some tests for campus regulation of free speech: 1. If a form of protest is iconic enough to be remembered with a monument or postage stamp, it should not result in expulsion.

  5. When student protests against the Vietnam War got serious momentum, liberal concern shifted to chants like "Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh." Instead of focusing on how to end our military involvement in mass killing, they questioned whether protesters "went too far" with their words.

  6. It should be easy for citizens in the United States to set up a protest camp on any major plaza, demanding an end to the war we are funding. But in many cities, college students have had a freedom increasingly denied to ordinary citizens since Occupy.

  8. In a bipartisan manner, the US Congress and POTUS have cut off aid to UNRWA, the main humanitarian organization assisting a humanitarian crisis created by our funds and weapons in Gaza. Yet evidence continues to show that the excuses for this aid cutoff were baseless. x.com/elizondogabriel/status/1782403792987693398

  15. How do you arrest students for trespassing at their own college? At #Vanderbilt, this required a maneuver involving the rules and then calling in the police. The necessary side effect: cutting students off from housing and food they've paid for.

  16. The New York Times editors imagine a certain type of reader: wealthy, socially advantaged, invested in the current social order: in this case, college presidents. Can you find a clearer example than this headline? (Replies with examples welcome.) #nytimes #Media #privilege

  19. In the biggest picture, student protesters against the war on Gaza are just cycling through the range of normal tactics used by generations of activists and are being vilified, expelled, and criminalized for it.

  38. Every time an Israeli official or defender has blamed Hamas for turning Gazan civilians into "human shields," they've flipped responsibility on its head.
