Excellent piece on German rearmament and Merz’s hostility to his own nation dressed up as militaristic foreign policy.

It’s a long road to pushing back on the suppression of protest, speech and academic freedom. But I think the only path is by changing gears, as outlined in the piece. End/.

Otherwise, we turn speech and protest into a question of whose feelings of vulnerability or sense of self have the most influence over administrator’s decisions to intervene. 5/.

That requires distinguishing actual harm from feelings of vulnerability, individualized threats from broadly upsetting statements, and not equating criticism of views, politics and policies with identity. 4/.

That goes for pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian, pro-life and pro-choice, pro-Trump and anti-Trump, protestors etc. What we should demand from administrators is viewpoint neutral protection of everyones’ right to protest 3/.

They might make people feel unsafe. But each has a right to be safe, not to feel safe. If what people say or how they say it is unnerving, as happens with protests, then the proper response is not repression but counter-protest 2/.

My recent article defending the right to protest on campus in light of the recent attacks on it. To defend that right we have to reject the inflated conception of harm that the Left and Right have at different times defended. Protests are uncomfortable. 1/.
Over the last year and a half, American universities have destroyed the right to protest. Rescuing it will require broad and unwavering consensus about the speciousness of the rationales being offered for today’s crackdowns. New from @alexgourevitch:.

So many ridiculous things happening and not all of them are merely bc university and college admins are under pressure from Trump. This is proactive.
It looks like Barnard College tried to hold up the graduation of a student journalist because they thought they could extract from her information about a student protest she wasn't even at.
