Obviously, students today are going to make a risk calculus based on their own material conditions. But SNCC students in the South basically felt their cause of racial equality was so important that jail, tear gas, beatings, felony charges were totally worth it.

The crackdown at universities included expulsions, criminal charges, the actual jailing of students for as little as an oped, new campus rules that made criticizing Israel a punishable offense, the banning even of megaphones at demonstrations…and then Neera “wonders” where the protests went. Such a mystery!

@NickyFrank30 @_rotimia “Palestinian cause” and its people speaking out against the mass slaughter of civilians 😒
I swear you Zionists are insufferable
English
@NickyFrank30 @_rotimia Nick you obviously don’t care about the Palestinians in #Gaza
Not once have you used your platform to advocate for them . All you do is use them as props to bolster your argument . It’s pretty disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself
English
@DonRandom30 @NickyFrank30 @_rotimia Look at you Zionist pretending like you care 🤡
Weren’t you cheering for the mass slaughter of Palestinian children in #Gaza ?
English
@droteha @NickyFrank30 @_rotimia Does Nick have to reiterate this point? If it’s such a important issue, why are them kids giving up that easily compared to other student protest movements like Vietnam?

@rdgrongoodnet1 @shillelaghjone2 @JohnRad15 @Thatonegurl31 @ProudSocialist If labor doesn’t create value then open up a factory without workers and see what the output will be 🤡
English
The labor theory of value is simplistic junk. It's a child's view of where value comes from.
Labor doesn't "create" value, it's just one of the methods to achieve values the intelligence has already chosen and begun to act to gain or keep.
All economic valuations are subjective. Yours, mine and everyone else's. There are no "intrinsic" values to labor or objects, only the valuations seen/perceived from the subjective POV of the valuer.

BREAKING: Just one day after an underpaid worker set a warehouse on fire in Ontario, California, another man tried to set the Ontario Mills Mall on fire.
This is what happens to a capitalist society that allows the rich to hoard everything as the masses struggle just to survive.

@FranceinKenya @arnaud_suquet #France is LITERALLY colonizing 14 African countries & props up dictators from #Cameroon to #Togo who brutally oppress MILLIONS of Africans to satisfy 🇫🇷 interests
This is why @EmmanuelMacron is in #Kenya because @francediplo was kicked out in west Africa

⏳ 5 weeks to go until #AfricaForward Summit
As the countdown continues, we are turning the spotlight on 🎙️ Sauti za Africa Forward — voices of a new generation of innovators and changemakers helping shape the conversation on the future of Africa–France partnerships. 🌍
First up is Mélanie Keïta — a Franco-Senegalese entrepreneur working at the intersection of finance, climate and technology. As the co-founder and CEO of Melanin Kapital, she is reimagining how African businesses access capital, leveraging innovative financial tools to support sustainable growth across the continent.
In this video, Mélanie reflects on why hosting the Africa Forward Summit in Africa — and in an anglophone country like 🇰🇪 — carries particular significance. For her, it represents an opportunity for Africa’s youthful generation to engage directly with leaders, investors and global partners, share their perspectives, and tell their own story about the continent’s future.
She also reminds us that Africa Forward is about opening a new chapter in the relationship between 🇫🇷 and Africa — one built on fresh partnerships, new investments and deeper trade collaborations that reflect today’s realities and tomorrow’s ambitions. 🤝
▶️ Sikia Sauti ya Mélanie to hear her perspective on why moments like this matter.
📣 Stay tuned, the conversation continues until May 11-12 🌍

@TheEconomist Has anyone ever asked why western media never talk about African dictators who are puppets of the west ?
The Economist will never do a story about #Djibouti & it’s brutal dictatorship because the authoritarian allows western army bases 🤡

The BBC (Western propaganda machine) calls him "president" not a useless dictator. This is what Djibouti looks like. He has been in power since 1999. Disease-infested roads. The West loves a corrupt, incompetent useless puppet.

@jbgallopin @WilenNina @hrw Why are jihadist terrorists praising human rights watch 🧐
And why are they being given a platform on a western media platform? @FRANCE24

@ilariallegro @hrw @FRANCE24 and the fake human rights watch promotes jihadist terrorists and gives them a platform to undermine #Traore because he kicked out #France that was exploiting the resources of #BurkinaFaso

Under Traoré, the junta has cited the need to counter activities from jihadist groups as a pretext to suppress fundamental rights and freedoms.

Just a few of the names of those punished & disappeared by Traore’s regime - detailed by @RosebellK.
The promotion and enforcement of manufactured narratives around a populist military leader costs lives and erases the sacrifice of those who dared to speak up.

New details are emerging in the warehouse fire. One hour after allegedly starting the fire Chamel Abdulkarim texted his boss:
“All you had to do was pay us enough to live. Pay us more of the value WE bring. Not corporate. I didn’t see the shareholders picking up a shift.” 🔥

All these neoliberals rushing to demand more protesting in 2026… Why did you stand against the protesters 2023-2024? You told them to elect Democrats because they would be more responsive.
And then when you saw the nonviolent protest happening you sided with the police state.

@Pontifex Hilarious how the pope is talking about wealth inequality when the #catholichurch has BILLIONS of dollars in property and collects hundreds of millions of dollars from offerings every Sunday 😒. Why not sell all the land and give the money to the poor ?
English
Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

PORTLAND NO KINGS PROTESTERS BREAK THE GATE AT A FEDERAL ICE FACILITY, VANDALIZE THE BUILDING, AND 3 GET ARRESTED No Kings protesters in Portland broke through the gate at a federal ICE facility, vandalized the building, and three people were arrested after what was advertised as a "peaceful demonstration." They spray-painted the walls and tried to storm a federal building like it was an open house. Portland went from the city that defunded its police to the city that can't stop breaking into government buildings. Always Drink, and Cry, Responsibly.

i have seen this take a lot and it is just false.
You can have an anti-Israel protest right now on any public university campus in America. It will be subject to time place or manner restrictions but you can hold it.

The crackdown at universities included expulsions, criminal charges, the actual jailing of students for as little as an oped, new campus rules that made criticizing Israel a punishable offense, the banning even of megaphones at demonstrations…and then Neera “wonders” where the protests went.
