Joe Biden and every single liberal politician or media figure who demonized anti-genocide protesters as anti-semitic extremists, who called for or engineered mass repression of the campus encampments, is deeply complicit in Trump’s repression today. Absolutely shameful.

@_waterman @thesaramarcus @kwamicoleman @Ryan_Lonewolf @eisenbergsounds @Roulette_NYC It would be great to see you Bryan!

@michaelgallope @thesaramarcus @kwamicoleman @Ryan_Lonewolf @eisenbergsounds @Roulette_NYC Hope to see you there, maybe w/ my 15yo musician philosopher in tow.

NYC folks! I am coming to town for THIS GREAT BOOK LAUNCH for @michaelgallope which will feature talking and playing by Benjamin Piekut, @kwamicoleman, @Ryan_Lonewolf, @eisenbergsounds, and me. Would be lovely to see you at Roulette on Thursday. roulette.org/event/book-lau…

Adolph Reed said like 20 years ago that the Reps were evolving into a Christofascist party (not his term, but his meaning) and the Dems were evolving into old-style Reps. Prescient.

@thesaramarcus @_waterman @kwamicoleman @Ryan_Lonewolf @eisenbergsounds @Roulette_NYC Yes! All ages!

@_waterman @michaelgallope @kwamicoleman @Ryan_Lonewolf @eisenbergsounds @Roulette_NYC I assume so. I haven't been there in a few years, but I've always known Roulette as more of a performance space than a nightclub. @michaelgallope, can you confirm?

Biden is set to go down in history as the president who not only presided over a genocide but who allowed Israel to drag the US into a giant regional war. And he could stop it all with a phone call.

What a disgraceful day @Uchicago. To attack your student like a literal thief in the night. So craven, so pathetic, so in-the-pocket of preening donors. So antithetical to principles of free and open discussion, so hostile to pedagogy. Admin should be ashamed of themselves.

Monday, April 22, 5 PM ET: Explore the interplay of music & philosophy during 1960s NYC with @michaelgallope & Elliott H. Powell @ehphd as they discuss "The Musician as Philosopher: New York's Vernacular Avant-Garde, 1958–1978." More info & the Zoom link: tinyurl.com/fe8p396s

A short thread about yesterday’s discussion of the Kalven Report @uchicago3ct.

It’s been 100 days since I signed on to the ceasefire resolution. In that time more than 25,000 thousand Palestinians have been killed by Israeli soldiers. I will continue to call for a ceasefire until there is an end to the atrocities and lasting peace. I urge my colleagues to do the same.

At the University of Chicago, we’ve formed a Faculty for Justice in Palestine. What a joy it’s been to find comrades among my colleagues. fjpuchicago.noblogs.org/post/2024/01/1…

Civilian victims of war are not “collateral damage." They are men and women with names and surnames, who lose their lives. They are children who are orphaned and deprived of their future. They are individuals who suffer from hunger, thirst and cold, or are left mutilated. #Peace

From last month. It's good to remember this all began as an attempt to silence pro Palestinian points of view on campus, to bully and lie and frighten people into accepting unpopular and extremist pro Israel policy.

My father and former Harvard Hillel director, Bernie Steinberg, just wrote an op-ed on "the cynical weaponization of antisemitism by powerful forces who seek to intimidate and ultimately silence legitimate criticism of Israel" thecrimson.com/article/2023/1…

What does a slogan mean? So here is a slick ad by the Israeli real estate firm Yad2 (meaning second hand): "Yad2 helps you look forward and build a future in your new home in Israel! There is Yad2 and we have no other country"
