Since Emma Camp is trying to be the main character again, we're bringing this back!
Our first episode is live!
We set the stage for a 4-part deep dive into the confusing world of libertarian free speech ideology and debate culture on college campuses, and try to make sense of this mess.
The rabbit hole is as deep as this article is shallow.
ALT A white toddler sits in a classroom desk with a booster seat, wearing a "COLLEGE" sweatshirt and looking confused. There is a speech bubble showing the kid saying "debate me?" There are angry emojis in the corner in the style of Facebook's angry reactions.

I cannot stress how vital the work of food kitchens in Khartoum are in saving lives.
This is Juhayna, she arrived in Port Sudan recently coming from Khartoum. She’s showing clear signs of malnutrition, as evidenced by the comparison photo of how she looked like a year ago.
In all honesty, international aid groups have been very ineffective in meeting the needs of civilians in Sudan. There exists an uninterrupted supply line straight into Khartoum state, yet people in Khartoum (the capital) are starving!
Please support the vital work of the Khartoum Aid Kitchen initiative to help feed families by donating and sharing the gofundme 🙏🏻

A new shipment of Fava beans arrived yesterday from Shendi for our kitchen in Northern Bahri.
The drivers had to navigate through RSF controlled area to reach the kitchen.
Our volunteers endure great personal risk to ensure the vital work of our kitchen in Northern Bahri.

MATCH #4: Clean Water for Gaza‼️
This is urgent work to keep as many people alive in Gaza as possible. I just matched @chrysanthemvm_'s $50 donation.
Who can match me?

Anyways Columbia and NYU both shut down anti segregation protests back in the day and a riot broke out in the latter so it's not like historically either institution, or any adjacent institution, has ever seriously been on the right side of history during the social upheaval

City Of Dallas residents there is a local election on May 4th & early voting is going on until next Tue. The Stop Cop City coalition in Atlanta is still on the ground currently battling with the eminent construction. North Texas is a policed enough. We do not need this. #DFW #NTX

What's cool about looking back at the history of college protests is that 19 year old students have been right about every single American war, and the esteemed Harvard educated opinion writers at the New York Times have been wrong about every single American war.

I spoke to Ansa Tabassum, the Muslim valedictorian who had her speech invitation revoked. USC had accommodated big names like Barack Obama and Milo Yiannopoulos before on campus. Why not for their very own student? Our interview huffpost.com/entry/usc-valed…

Please understand that "free speech" is not some philosophical ideal that, like "peace," means whatever you feel it means in your heart or your hopes.
"Free speech" is a political project to elevate ideas/people useful to US policy & power structures, here or abroad.

Have you noticed who bleats & preens over "free speech" in this settler colony?
How it's used as cover by the right for astonishing repression, erasure, & violence?

"Free speech" is a political project that does not serve or protect liberation movements.

The only problem is, this would require Democrats to want to win.

& the fact that they'll then say "what you want Trump instead?" shows just how much they haven't been listening. Because yeah, at this point? At least under Trump there's some resistance to violence via war, border policing, endless covid infections etc. etc. etc.
