In a new essay, Zadie Smith writes about the destructive role of language in the campus protests over the war in Gaza. nyer.cm/K8suwS4

The idea of Redick being the next Lakers coach gives me mild Gary Neville vibes.

Incredible historical document here: Blinken says Israel’s PR is failing because social media allows people a direct look at what’s happening, shorn of the ability to mediate it, and it lands with emotional resonance. Romney then says yes, that’s why we moved to ban TikTok
“Why has the PR been so awful?… typically the Israelis are good at PR—what’s happened here, how have they and we been so ineffective at communicating the realities and our POV?… some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok.”

I will stress again how virtually no pundit wants to debate the SUBSTANCE of the protestors grievances. This is being avoided at all costs because few want to defend clear-as-day war crimes so all there is concern trolling, front row kid legal formalism & anti-zoomer psychobabble
I don’t think “not wanting to talk to Peggy Noonan” is really indicative of anything sinister. Seems like a very normal reaction.

Powerful moment at UT Dallas Gaza Liberation encampment! Students chanting, "Who failed Uvalde! You failed Uvalde!" at officers who work hard to beat up students while infamously waiting over an hour to protect them in what was the deadliest school shooting in TX history

Reminder to everyone that Israel refuses to recognize the Bosnian genocide, Armenian genocide, Artsakh genocide, Kosovar genocide and Uyghur genocide.
🇮🇱🇧🇦 Israeli Ambassador to Serbia has stated that Israel does not recognize Srebrenica as a genocide: Srebrenica should not be called genocide. Israel has never accepted that the crime in Srebrenica be called genocide. When you call Srebrenica genocide, in my opinion, it diminishes the importance of that term.

This is why they didn't allow any journalists on campus last night. So NYPD could solely control what the public sees the following day.
I would normally never tweet out a propaganda video the NYPD made. But you have to see this hype video they created after attacking college students. They live in such a fascist bubble it’s surreal.

There’s this weird slippage people do where by “peaceful” they mean “lawful” but then they want to use MLK as an example and seem to forget where “letter from Birmingham Jail” was written from
ok for the last damn time: THE OCCUPATION OF A BUILDING IS A PEACEFUL PROTEST

There's something especially sick about a police system that trains with the IDF violently suppressing popular movement/s protesting Israel's mass atrocities. Yet it also starkly illuminates the interconnectedness of these systems of oppression & the need to fight them as one.

If you don’t understand the insane danger of this right here, you’re truly a fool. This is unconscionable. And it’s happening now. Not under Trump. Right now.

Almost anytime something is bipartisan in this country it's for the most objectionable/horrific thing ever.

200+ pro-Israel counterprotestors are attacking the @UCLA pro-Palestinian encampment. They started beating on one student and stomped another under a plywood board per @latimes @safinazzal on the scene. Where is UCLA security?

Massive brutal police repression of students. Called in by administrators. With the Biden Administration’s vocal support. All to protect a genocide. During an election year. Morally revolting and politically suicidal.

This is what the violence we're seeing on campuses is designed to defend.
