As predicted, Israel waited until Tuesday, Nov. 5th, 2024, the date of the US Presidential election, to officially announce that Palestinians are in the process of being ethnically cleansed from North Gaza.
Doing Zionism quietly, like clockwork. theguardian.com/world/2024/n…

Over the next 48 hours, Israel will likely slaughter & ethnically cleanse Palestinians at an accelerated pace, timed for US Presidential election day, so as to minimize the PR damage. This is a phenomenon I call "doing Zionism quietly." (Full article linked in the thread)

A msg from a student. It’s such a privilege to be an educator: “Thank you for holding open space for your students today. I knew I had to cry a bit, and your office was the only place I felt safe doing so. Thank you for being such a great professor.”

A msg 4 my students: I want to take a moment and acknowledge those who are experiencing pain or fear right now. Remember to grieve, mourn, sleep, and drink water. But don’t despair for long. We don’t have the luxury of time. Drink water, get sunshine, and breathe fresh air.

The Biden administration should cancel all federal student debt tomorrow. Ignore the courts. Use immunity powers. Get it done.

You stand on the shoulders of great people. And I trust each of you will decide how to make your mark in this “new” world we find ourselves in. So be steadfast and remember to stay near those that are dear to you.

I would be glad to receive any suggestions you have now—your words of wisdom, grief, hope, and naked anger. I will do my best to be available to anyone who wants to mourn and cry, but also for those ready to plan for our collective future.

I’m so tired of waiting,
Aren’t you,
For the world to become good
And beautiful and kind?
Let us take a knife
And cut the world in two —
And see what worms are eating
At the rind.
Tired, Langston Hughes

Just out! @Harvard redefines the word “protest”
“...a group activity, for example—even a silent one— that is explicitly using a space to make a point is engaging in a demonstration or protest."
What happens at universities that doesn’t fit this definition? provost.harvard.edu/faq-prot…
