As a @NorthwesternU alum (CAS '96), this is turning out to be my generation's failure. We should have wrapped our heads around responsibilities to both public discourse and avoiding criminalization of either student activism or students of color a long time ago. x.com/thrasherxy/status/1755229681417175516

While Student Publishing Company, the entity that publishes the Daily Northwestern @thedailynu complained to police, the student-run Editorial Board now rejects the company's actions. x.com/thrasherxy/status/1755229681417175516

One Israeli military tactic during the present assault is targeted destruction of occupied homes from the air. Given the level of Israeli intelligence data, these should often be regarded as family-annhiliating assassinations. Many targets have been humanitarians, not Hamas. x.com/RamiJarrah/status/1754989224745427375

Everyone should at least consider the idea that the law is constantly remade to prevent social change. That many effective strategies will be criminalized precisely because they are effective. That, therefore, one should never confuse legality with morality. x.com/hannahcrileyy/status/1753122792847880403

You will never convince me that a million more people of color in a country of 330 million people is "a crisis" that undermines our country. x.com/ackocher/status/1753049755909792108

So, at the moment, the Republican Congress is blocking funding for weapons for Israel and Ukraine. Trump wants them to block Biden's border enforcement money. And Biden has blocked funding of the largest humanitarian relief org in Gaza. Who's the most off brand?

In Gaza, "It is estimated that over 650,000 people will have no home to return to, and that many more will be unable to return immediately, due to the level of damage to surrounding infrastructure, as well as the risk posed by explosive remnants of war." ochaopt.org/content/hostilities-gaza-strip-and-israel-flash-update-103

This was less than 3 months ago. Yesterday, the US government followed Israel's demands and cutoff funds for UNRWA's "extraordinary lifesaving work." x.com/SecBlinken/status/1721214542901047752

The International Court of Justice's order affirmed the plausibility of genocide being committed in Gaza and ordered Israel not to do so further. It also treated denial of humanitarian necessities as part of genocide. These orders are as mandatory as International Law gets.

"In Gaza… civilians are declared “human shields” even while they attempt to flee areas for safety or live inside “safe zones.” These new norms of genocidal warfare are an ominous portent… in which entire populations are no longer categorized civilian." tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14623528.2024.2306714

Ken but not Barbie getting nominated was 100% on-brand for Barbie's analysis of the real world. But the hundreds of tweets that didn't even mention America Ferrera's nomination invisbilize women of color in a way the movie strove not to. variety.com/2024/film/awards/america-ferrera-barbie-oscar-snubs-greta-gerwig-margot-robbie-disappointing-1235880039/

I don't know how to reach those who need to hear this, but shouting "Four More Years" while a young person begs "Let Gaza Live" is a force multiplier for deep, visceral rejection of your candidate. x.com/TocRadio/status/1749913906892447789

The human rights in Palestine caucus has just 11 members, which is dismal, but far better than many other points in US-Israeli relations. x.com/prem_thakker/status/1747428600645558486

Relevantly to Gaza, Raphaël Lemkin, the Polish Jewish jurist who coined "genocide", named the calculated undernourishing of both Poles and Jews as an element of Nazi genocide.

As the world considers the charge of genocide to describe Israeli actions in Gaza, the civilian death toll is rapidly approaching the scale of loss in Bosnia, where an initial population of 1.9 million suffered 33 thousand civilian deaths. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnian_genocide?wprov=sfla1

Someone needs to walk Democrats through the rise of Richard Nixon, our most dangerous post-WW2 president. Key factors include a failing, unpopular war that Nixon disavowed, promising a "secret plan" to end it. Johnson lost many antiwar voters either to abstention or Nixon.

Israel has repackaged free-fire zones, a US practice of unlimited killing in Vietnam, as evacuation orders to "safe zones." In both cases, neither the areas targeted for evacuation nor for resettlement were safe. x.com/KenRoth/status/1743723448440901822

Much depends on whether Israel, which just carried out back-to-back militarized assassinations on Lebanese soil, did or did not also carry out a bombing on Iranian soil. Any of these acts could precipitate a wider regional war. x.com/MairavZ/status/1742603902296465895
