What if we were the…

Congrats! Advised a former student majoring in history to make sure to take one of your classes

Occasionally a class, but the dual enrollment course I teach at my HS is through Germanna as well

Well most of the work will be classroom management probably

I’m over here preparing to teach 6 classes, wishing I was in academia

That a for-profit “community” was created by a historian and is promoted by historians is shameful. It’s hard to have faith in the discipline when we allow this

When I had to read it for my Historiography seminar in grad school, Joan Scott’s Gender and the Politics of History shaped my whole intellectual trajectory. I’m glad she is calling out Scholasticide, unlike the AHA itself

Before long, we won't be able to even mention the most horrific crime of our times, let alone try to stop it.

Making a strong case against prison abolition

I guess he answers that by suggesting it’s inefficient. Terrible take but ok

Honestly, this doesn’t even sound human. And why does he think archeology shouldn’t or maybe can’t provide answers to questions?

Haaretz, an Israeli newspaper, reports that IDF soldiers and officers told the newspaper that they were "ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present."

Ok. The question about whether it should or shouldn’t be legal isn’t relevant. It is illegal. That is the point. The law should be broken

Yeah, only action that is legal is ok with you, including murder. I understand. You want Gaza to be free, but as long as it’s not illegal for Israel to do genocide, so be it

Again, your fixation on law has led you to misunderstand me

Are humans and property the same thing? Be careful, you might start to think that Palestinians are as important as windows

The gov is still aiding Israel, I am sorry to say. Your fixation on law led you to misunderstand me. The point of an action like this is to cause disruption, draw attention to, and express opposition to the government’s relationship with Israel. It’s not to make a point that it should be legal

If you’re starting from a position that we should be more upset by a brick going through a window than people being murdered, you are on a different moral planet than I am, and I don’t think I can offer a defense that you would ever accept

But I guess killing Palestinians isn’t illegal. Defacing planes is.

They are protesting the UK’s support of a genocide. It’s pretty obvious. Fascinating to see more concern for two military aircraft than thousands of people

Wild that he probably thinks it’s clever

Terrorism can happen outside the UK fyi

Re: the big No Kings protests this weekend, remember that the corporate media, politicians, etc are obviously champing at the bit to be able to force a “good protestors vs bad protestors” narrative to discredit the anti-ICE/anti-genocide movement.

Do not let them. Embrace a diversity of tactics.

He wanted to write a book about standing for something, but since he doesn’t really stand for much, he felt like his best option was to write it about standing for a long time

The AP US Gov. curriculum and test, at the least, lack the theoretical approach to understanding political science that is often an important part of intro courses in college, which I have found particularly frustrating when teaching the course. I can’t speak to your individual experience though

Right, so you are making assumptions and issuing insults until then. That was my point
