🚨 Virginia Tech’s 24 Hours of Silence After Campus Speaker Urged Students to “Blow Up Ports” and Engage in “Palestine Action”
This event was held on Virginia Tech’s campus yesterday, with Professor Mohamed Abdou appearing virtually. In this clip, Abdou praised students as “a branch of the resistance,” said they had been recognized as “a branch of the mujahideen,” and then shamed them for claiming to care while refusing to escalate into sabotage and militant action.
“You won’t blow up ports.”
“You won’t engage in Palestine Actions.”
“You won’t halt the weapons industry.”
“You won’t destroy locally where you are at.”
He framed Virginia Tech as part of a broader battlefield, declared that “the battlefront is everywhere,” and called for “every single choke point” and “every single supply chain bottleneck” to be disrupted “by all means necessary.”
Then he invoked the Weather Underground, the Black Panthers, and the Zapatistas before explaining “Death to America” and saying America should “burn with the most volatile kerosene,” “combust,” and be “erased” in “the most fiery of flames.”
This was a speaker on campus telling students to get kinetic as part of “the resistance” at a university that knows better than almost anyone what campus violence can mean.
And Virginia Tech has said nothing.

@HARPER04_5 @celtics @76ers The league, its players, and its coaches have very little idea how to play actual basketball.
Y'all ran the triangle on most possessions.
These days, how often do you see a true play being run?
These guys are not as practiced or interested in going to the well.

@gharri69 @Wiz_Weekly I rather have Caleb Wilson who can be a rebounder, a shot blocker and can switch to smaller, quicker players.

@Fernandoml128 @Wiz_Weekly One's a shot blocker and one is a rebounder...he is what Sarr needs

@Wiz_Weekly No, not a good fit. Maybe on offense with his ability to score outside and inside, but not on defense. If you can have 2 good defenders why settle only for one. He might be exposed and there isn’t much we can do about it.

@salimforva Where were you born again? You aren’t a Virginian Stop pretending like you care. You are part of Virginia’s problem.

Virginia has one of the worst public‑sector pay gaps in the nation.
Local government employees in Virginia earn 26% less than their private-sector peers.
Governor Spanberger should sign the Assembly’s collective bargaining bill as passed so we can finally build a Commonwealth where every worker is respected, protected, and heard.

@mattvanswol Cuz it was a funded event and probably paid the teachers to ditch for the day.

NOW: Thousands are gathering in Raleigh, North Carolina, for May Day protests.
At least 11 school districts announced last-minute schedule changes, leaving parents scrambling to make childcare arrangements, according to reports.
Teachers planned to participate in "Kids Over Corporations" protests, organized by the North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE).
Protesters are calling for increased funding for public education.

@gharri69 Yes, but you also traded five picks to acquire that asset. So in moving AD, the assets you get in return have to exceed those you sent out to make it worthwhile
