The Israeli military retaliation will be wildly disproportionate, quasi-genocidal, and a massive war crime but the white supremacy of the political order will have heads of state and people on Twitter cheering it on.

Academia loves diversity and inclusion so as long they mean trainings, workshops, hiring language, and required statements for applications. Don’t ever suggest making it could mean paying graduate students a living wage, or unionizing faculty, or anything that might work.

I really dislike Tim Walz for many reasons. That said, he’s been identified in the discourse as the VP pick whose pick means “better on Gaza, big gov liberal policies, Bernie-like vibes.” So if he is the pick, I think it’s a big, long overdue vibe shift within the party.

James Baldwin pointed out in 1963 that violence is only ever condemned when it's used by oppressed peoples, against nations who have themselves not only used violence but celebrate violence as central to their founding moments (USA in 1776, Israel in 1948). 1/2
I do not believe people resisting genocide, colonialism & tyranny have a moral or legal obligation to remain nonviolent. I don’t 🤷🏾♀️

If I hear that a Twin Cities restaurant (or brewery, or coffee shop, etc) doesn't treat its workers well or doesn't support their right to unionization, I will never eat there no matter what. Restaurant reviews in local media like

gloating over having the first PhD program in American Indian Studies, while refusing to hire a scholar of genocide who's worked with Native groups and wants to expand the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies to include histories of Native genocide, is gross.
The University of Minnesota is in crisis. In the span of a few days, it rescinded an offer to Raz Segal, a Jewish Israeli historian it planned to hire as director of Holocaust & Genocide Studies bc he called Gaza a “genocide.” Then it announced a PhD in American Indian Studies!

We should have those sites. But we don't. And someone "feeling unsafe" is not a justification of...anything, really. After years of Black people being murdered by cops who "felt unsafe" around them, we should know better. If you "feel unsafe" but aren't, that's a you problem.

Hot (🙄) take: leftists in the US can and should debate union strategy. Treating labor activism like a narrow bourgeois identity politics, where non-union members can’t opine on the union, is a technique for suppressing the left.
Too many online socialists replying to this equate solidarity with doing whatever the union leadership says. As socialists we should be out discussing socialist ideas with striking workers. If that’s controversial in your eyes you’re probably going to be more comfortable as a Dem
