Some were studying in those tents during the day so they may be alright for finals. Otherwise though, I do feel for the students whose lives are disrupted by all of this. Not everyone can or should be a revolutionary.
I think its a good time to remember that if you see the struggle for...
As soon as a foreign policy argument goes "well, you should just overthrow your government and then my government will change course towards the citizenry" it's basically this:
The idea that you're personally responsible for your country's leaders' transgressions is ludicrous. As you said...
Israel gets that latitude because Christian Zionists who hold disproportionate power at the federal level give them that latitude.
And are we really going to take Biden’s public statements at face value? How much can one privately “fume” until they cut off the aid that makes the Gaza genocide...

As long as you support Israeli/US interests, you get a pass for hating actual Jewish people.
Negative polarization will indeed be the work horse for Biden’s campaign.
I’m talking about how to get people who are on the fence between voting for Biden on the one hand and voting for a protest candidate on the other.
Clearly, there is a subset of those voters like this that could help to...
IMO, if you want to get people on the left to vote for Joe Biden, DO NOT mention Donald Trump. Regardless of your intentions, it comes across as blackmail or extortion.
By contrast, if you point out that you get to pick your opposition and the material conditions under which you can organize...
Without mass global worker uprisings, our political choices for the coming years will be:
1.) climate authoritarianism with cosmopolitan, therapeutic, HR style language attached to it. The US-Israeli-NATO model. “I don’t feel safe knowing that Mexicanx and Palestinianx bodies are pushing for...
When conservatives say that “it’s so hard to do business in California,” what they really mean is that they can’t be quite as greasy and grimy as their counterparts in Red States.
