Wow. @cnn.com could not manage to have 1 guest who is against the genocide in Gaza. The inhumanity that @cnn.com and Abby Phillips are hosting right now is absolutely disgusting.

You were told that it was 'impossible' to dismantle institutions. And abolitionists told you this wasn't true and that there were many institutions that SHOULD BE dismantled. But lots of people can't "imagine" the end of prisons, policing, etc... In reality, every single thing can be dismantled.

Momodou Taal: “When we say Palestine is a litmus test, we’re saying that it is not that we privilege the Palestinian cause over every other cause, but rather Palestine holds a mirror up unto the world and says, 'What kind of world do we want to live in?'”

If elite institutions weren't absolute cowards, going after the powerful first would have been a strategic mistake. But so far their intuition that the people with the most protection are also the biggest cowards has proven depressingly correct.

Columbia University has failed to defend academic freedom & freedom of speech & allowed a great institution to be bullied & extorted into submission by an administration hellbent on contorting higher education to their will. The AAUP condemns this capitulation. We can & must fight back.

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the Trump Administration disappeared Mahmoud Khalil in order to capitalize on the liberal/left split on Gaza. You either step up to defend people and protect rights or you don’t. This is another crossroads and I pray people see it for what it is.

The way it works is that you strip fundamental rights from targets with less political support that people will turn their consciences off to justify persecuting and then eventually the state can do it to anyone, that’s always been the plan bsky.app/profile/pbum...
