No matter what you do, you will not appease a fascist regime. You will still lose the funding, and you will still lose the "academic status" that you cherish so deeply. At least do not lose your dignity and take a stand against the Palestinian genocide. 3/3

I have heard from colleagues that they think it's better to be strategic and not upset the Western governments that fund universities during these times. Calling out the genocide, although correct, could jeopardize their funding and risk more government intervention, they say. 2/3

This is an open letter I helped draft, where we ask the @apaphilosophy.bsky.social to do the bare minimum and condemn the genocide and mass starvation in Palestine. Just as they have done with other conflicts, taking a stand in favour of humanity is the bare minimum they should do. 1/3

Maybe deep down, he thinks that the Palestinians did not "become zionist" enough, and this is their fault. I have no more patience with Western leaders and their defense of this genocide.

Why are some academics still shy about condemning the Palestinian genocide? Your humanities department will eventually lose most or all of its funding due to the rise of fascism, no matter how quiet or submissive you act. Grow a fucking spine and say something while you have a platform. #academia

Are we going to ask why the US has bases around the planet? Are we going to ask who or what is kept safe with those bases? Because NONE of those bases protect US citizens. Far from it, they endanger them. US cultural and economic imperialism comes at the expense of US lives.

So best case scenario, Israel and the US have effectively pushed for a nuclear arms race. After showing that the only thing that can protect you from illegal attacks are are nukes. Worst case scenario, Iran retaliation could trigger something terrible. Insanity.

I've met MANY Western academics who refused to acknowledge that their societies were among the worst criminals in the world. Now that Israel, a Western-backed ethnostate, is facing consequences for 80 years of war crimes, the West is threatening the world with WWIII to save it.

Was Iran months away from producing a nuclear bomb? Israel's PM says it struck Iran at the heart of its "weaponization programme", but Iran insists its nuclear facilities were peaceful.

Western outlets are trying to fabricate consent for a world war, nuclear probably, for the sake of protecting the genocidal Israeli regime. Trying but failing MISERABLY. The ratio of each of these posts is incredible. Is there no shame left in Western journalism? Pathetic

All those who supported the war against Irak, that led to the DEATH OF MILLIONS, and who always bought/sold the lies of Israel will now claim that a war against Iran and setting the entire planet on fire is a righteous cause. Western imperialism is madness and must be stopped.

Why are the UK, France, Germany, and the US risking a world war for the sake of an apartheid regime on trial for genocide?

News title redas: Florida debates lifting some child labor laws to fill jobs vacated by undocumented immigrants

News title redas: Florida debates lifting some child labor laws to fill jobs vacated by undocumented immigrants

Nothing says "My country is great again" like promoting child labour and removing breaks for children at work. Florida is truly paving the way for the US to be what its rich owners always wanted it to be, a factory where exploiting the peasants is the law.

β€˜This is not what we voted for’: Latinas for Trump founder rejects deportation agenda When it comes to buyer’s remorse, Ileana Garcia is hardly the only Trump voter balking at the White House agenda.

Im convinced that turkeys would not, given the chance, vote for the celebration of Christmas. Unlike "Latinos for Trump," who voted for the guy who promised to get rid of them. "I thought he would get rid of THE OTHER LATINOS, NOT US" is a very bad defence.

Now this is happening with healthcare, education, etc. The white supremacist mentality in the US is so entrenched that they are going to raze their own country to the ground before allowing non-Whites basic equality and access to decent living standards.

Its name has survived, but the gender itself has died out. In those days, there was a distinct type of androgynous person, not just the word, though like the word the gender too combined male and female; nowadays, however, only the word remains and that counts as an insult." 2/2

"The starting-point is for you to understand human nature wasn't originally the same as it is now: it has changed. Firstly, there used to be three human genders, not just two-male and female- as there are nowadays. There was also a third, which was a combination of both the other two." 1/2

Tweet from Homeland Security says: It is absolutely sickening to compare ICE law enforcement agents to the Gestapo.

Attacks and demonization of ICE and our partners is wrong. ICE officers are now facing a 413% increase in assaults.

Our message is clear: DO NOT come to this country illegally. If you do, we will arrest you, deport you and you will never return.

A reminder to many that if it weren't because students broke the gag around the Palestinian genocide, MANY professors would not have dared to speak up. Students lead the way, and to dismiss their actions and activism is nothing short of stupid.
