“I realized that I had spent my whole life reading history books that never had anybody in them that looked like me, who had stories that were similar to mine or my parents...” professor @CountessCanuck said. “They’re there, but nobody’s written them.”

The @nytimes has once again highlighted the Whitten’s grotesque censorship policy. Given the repeated national shaming of IU, we should assume that more than embarrassment will be required to break her administration. We need mass refusal & economic action.

Every branch of the federal government will be in the hands of an authoritarian convicted felon who the people who know him best say is unfit. This will be an open season for more bigotry, racism, misogyny, hatred, incompetence, anti science, xenophobia, corruption, violence…

Jeff Bezos has forced The Washington Post - the newspaper he owns - to not endorse in a presidential race for the first time 36 years because he’s worried Donald Trump will take away his government contracts.
RETWEET if you think @JeffBezos is a disgrace to democracy!

This is a sniper on the rooftop of the Indiana University Memorial Union in Bloomington, Indiana today
I live approximately 10 miles from this spot now. I graduated from IU in 1988
Let me tell you a little bit about this place

It is disturbing to see Princeton University officials treating peaceful protests with maximum punishment involving police force. The students are not the ones endangering the safety of others on campus. We must do better than zero tolerance for student dissent. #GazaSolidarity

UT Austin students chanting “You don’t scare us” even as countless militarized Texas Troopers swarm their campus, attack their protest, and bring in horses. This movement will not be stopped.

BREAKING: People cheer as the LAST police car and all police officers have retreated! We faced them down, and despite ASSAULTING us they have retreated. The Northwestern University Gaza Solidarity Encampment has survived its first attack. Free speech, Free Palestine! 🇵🇸✊🏾

Forming a faculty defense line with faculty to try to stop arrests. Might be my last tweet for a while. Free Palestine and bless our courageous students!

Really good on-the-ground student reporting about the encampment at University of Michigan Ann Arbor.
Proud of these kids here, and everywhere.

Today is one of those moments where we have to remember that the cops were not actually defunded in 2020. The ruling class actually doubled down on funding them, to repress us in moments like this.

The children in the mass graves had their hands zip tied behind their backs.
The doctors in the mass graves had their hands zip tied behind their backs.
They were executed en masse, 300 of them.
300 people who people who lived, breathed, loved, laughed, mattered.
