there are D.C. scum calling #StudentSpring "pro-HAMAS protests". the minute anybody in the #Biden admin parrots that shit, all bets are off with #Democrats.
so all liberals on here screaming #VoteBlue no matter who, y'all better get your asses in gear and tell every single person in the White House to drop that shit immediately.
am not some magical Cassandra. i have +30 years experience with the treachery of Democrats against antiwar activists.
don't wanna lose in November? PAY ATTENTION.

this is the garbage just published at The Hill (honestly, it's the only reason i keep an eye on these fuckers).
i cannot stress enough how the craven warmongering neoliberals in the Democratic party will latch on to fascist propaganda like this and start parroting it everywhere.
BE READY TO PUSH BACK ON THIS NARRATIVE.
if you are Jewish, or an alumni of any of the #StudentSpring universities, it is imperative that we call Alumni Relations and the offices of the provosts to voice our support.

@blogdiva It SHOULD be in most public universities but I think a decade or so of violent militarized police may have had the intended toll. The #BLM protests sure were slammed down. As were the #WaterIsLife protests.

@IveyJanette @blogdiva Yes! When the full force hit Occupy I was crushed. It had been the first time in years I thought the youth finally could rise up again. The military overkill is a juggernaut of authoritarian evil no matter who is in political power.
RiaResists
@cobalt @IveyJanette @blogdiva yes.
Part of the falling of the #Occupy movement was it wasn’t well defined.
That was my first activism of the millennia. Besides the on-going environmental action

FWIW @cobalt @IveyJanette the semesters at CUNY & SUNY are different from all the private colleges here in NYC.
Barnard, Columbia, NYU, The New School: they all are wrapping up the semester. most students are writing papers or getting ready for graduation. April is kinda "lame duck" month.
CUNY & SUNY's semester goes into the end of June. they'll likely be the second wave of protests.
i taught at both NYU & CUNY & sons went to SUNY. the #StudentSpring logistics seem well thought out.
Nobody ناچیز नास्ति (he/him)
I think Biden's going to keel over or decide to not run very much like LBJ. He did some good things but also ran the American war on Vietnam, the parallels are there.
I hope Trump precedes Biden though.
I hope there is a miracle and Dr West wins.

@blogdiva
I think it was Cal Poly - Humboldt, not Humboldt State. Though things are changing day to day.
Ivey Janette McClelland
@blogdiva No problem. So far the protests at UNM have been peaceful. There's been more violence when Charlie Kirk and his flock of racists show up on campus several times a year.
Ivey Janette McClelland
@blogdiva Here at UNM.

"Have any pointers to a script?"
1. state your name clearly, year of graduation & department
2. tell them you stand in solidarity with the students.
3. say why: in my case? what i have said all along: the right to self-defense is not a right to commit #genocide. focus on one or two points. keep it simple.
4. write it down to make it easier on you. don't make it longer than a toot. they will be inundated with calls.
5. email and letters are also good. use any media.

I'm Jewish (though mom is a Mayflower goy), _and_ a Brown alum; will be calling the alumni office tomorrow to oppose punitive action against students protesting genocide
Have any pointers to a script?
Am feeling like it might be counterproductive to splutter something like "you must be some kind of monster for even CONSIDERING punishing students for opposing genocide"
AnthonyJK-Admin
A vote for an antiwar Leftist candidate, like, say, Jill Stein, Claudia de la Cruz, or Joesph Kisdore, OTOH, would be so much better. Biden isn't it...he's arming and openly supporting the genociders.
ReallyBlue2
@blogdiva yeah, a vote for Trump or a no vote will really help Palestinians. Not!
AnthonyJK-Admin
Your daily reminder that the owner and chief donor of The Hill is a devout conservative Democrat, a billionaire hedge fund trader, and a staunch right-wing Zionist. Of course, he's charging in front of the "Protect defenseless right-wing Zionist Jews by siccing the cops on 'Hamas terrorist Far Left protestors'" brigade.
ReallyBlue2
@AnthonyJK @blogdiva no! Those are direct votes for fascism! Biden isn’t perfect and is in terrible spot with Israel but there will be no more meaningful elections in the US if Trump win…no more….zero
AnthonyJK-Admin
No, they are not.
In fact, they are less fascist than Biden is.
Meaningful elections? You mean, like the "meaningful" primaries where the DNC practically rigged the primaries to enable Hillary Clinton to win, then did nothing when she decided not even to launch a campaign in critical swing states, thus leading to Trump's victory?
You mean, Democrats' continued attempts to sue Indy Leftist candidates off state ballots so that you can monopolize Leftist votes for free?
AnthonyJK-Admin
You mean, meaningful elections where Biden does absolutely nothing but give marginalized people empty promises and emptier platforms that wither away at the first breath of Joe Manchin's verbiage?
You mean, meaningful elections where we get to choose to sacrifice innocent Palestinians to Israel's current genocide and land grab just so the brunches can continue unabated??
We don't have "meaningful elections" right now.
Sorry, Blue, but no sale here.
AnthonyJK-Admin
And, also??
I am NOT a Democrat, or a Republican. I am an Independent Leftist and a Socialist. My vote and my money goes towards candidates that share my values, my principles, and my beliefs.
Neither Biden nor Trumpster are as such; therefore, I am under no obligation to vote for either one, just to be forced to choose between two flavors of right-wing. NO genocide is justified. EVER.
You vote your way, and I'll vote mine. Keep your voteshaming to yourself.
