Bluesky despises productive action The biggest problem in Gaza right now that we can actually fight is looming famine But REAL posters wouldnt be caught dead sharing this EASY and TANGIBLE way to get food to Palestinians

Like them or not, I think it's pretty clear the campus protests *are* accomplishing things. Not always everything they want, not always what they intend, not always positive--but the idea that they're just impotent self-indulgent yelling is, I think, just not true.

the FAST, POINTY vs SLOW, CONFUSED carabid-tenebrionid dichotomy is real and I continue to stand by it

this is my emotional support gold

One election?

no one cares about what happens in HR, but he also just fired the head of HR, which is typically a sign that a whole lot of very dumb shit is about to go down.

I swear to you this is real.

Hold two thoughts in your mind at the same time. Pro-Palestinian speech, including academic speech as well as activism, has been uniquely suppressed, before & especially since 10/7, creating a widespread genuine sense that there's no reason to try to stay within institutionally-legitimate bounds. 1

what i hate? is the degree to which i find myself dwelling on these protests. metametaconversation, instead of talking about the plain facts on the ground--the need for peace and the fact that peace will not come until the palestinian right and need for self-determination is made real

Right-wing culture warriors' theory that radical leftists control academia and use it ruthlessly force left-wing beliefs on people was always insane. But it looks even crazier with administrations—the ones with the most power on campus—calling in police against left-wing protestors.

maybe having every on-air personality working off a background of "college students were rude to me once so I would like them brutalized by the state" is not giving us the most level-headed view of what's going on

6th Cir. holds that bodycam video clearly contradicts officer's claim that suicidal man lunged at police before officer shot him five times with an M16 at close range, and it was clearly established that officer could not use deadly force on a man merely for disobeying police commands. No QI.

oh yeah? well could a bear do THIS??
