Professor at Columbia/Adelphi, TEDx speaker, trauma expert. I hold the radical view that genocide and apartheid are actually bad things. Views are my own.
We gave liberals 2 years with a majority:
No $15 wage
No public option/M4A
No eviction moratorium
Less cash relief than Trump
Record military budgets
$37 billion more for police
No permanent child tax credit
Expanded ICE, CBP and DHS
They blew it. We're done voting for them.
Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty of sex trafficking children. A judge refuses to release the list of who she sold them to. Up until the list is released, we have only one conclusion: all of them are on it. Every last damned billionaire, prince and politician. Have a nice day.
If we cancel all student debt, ppl will want medical debt forgiven. If we cancel medical debt, they're going to want free healthcare. If we give them that, they'll want us to house the homeless. Then everyone's going to want a living wage. The whole society will fall apart.
The Israeli military just blew up the University of Palestine in Gaza City with 315 mines. All the universities in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed. We need a full academic boycott.
In 2010, Israel illegally intercepted 6 ships in international waters that were bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza. They boarded 3 ships and shot and killed 9 civilians.
Houthis try to blockade Israel for committing an actual genocide, no one is killed, and we bomb Yemen.
NEW: Students at Arizona State University disrupt Nancy Pelosi for her complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza
“The blood of over 15,000 Palestinian babies is on your hands!”
BREAKING: Joe Biden has announced $3 billion be given to the cities of Flint and Jackson as emergency aid to make sure residents have drinkable water. The president said more money will forthcoming.
Just kidding. That money's going to Ukraine.
Arabs didn't perpetrate genocide against Jewish ppl: Europeans did. Palestinians didn't turn boats with Jews escaping the holocaust away: The US did
Antisemitism is not a creation of Palestinians and Muslims. Wìhy are they being punished for the crimes of Germans and Americans?
Russian restaurants in NY had their doors kicked in. 20 yr old Russian prodigy pianist canceled. Russian astronoaut Yuri Gagarin stripped of honors for being the first human in space. Tchaikovsky concert canceled by Philharmonic. This helps Ukraine how?
Xenophobia is not liberal
Joe Biden giving the orders for US military to shoot down Iranian drones headed for Israel proves one thing: At any point in time over the past 6 mos he could have prevented Israel from bombing hospitals, apartments and refugee camps - saving countless lives. He chose not to.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are avoiding campaign appearances at colleges and universities because they're afraid they'll get protested over their support of genocide. The party that's supposed to 'save democracy' is terrified of hearing directly from the people.
So... Hillary Clinton is now my teaching colleague at Columbia. And between the two of us, I'm the only one who didn't turn Libya into an open slave state.
Those calling for the National Guard to be sent onto college campuses are well aware of the Kent State Massacre where 4 student anti-war protesters were shot and killed. I believe they are making this demand, not in spite of this history, but because of it.
How most arguments with genociders go:
Ceasefire now!
"Antisemitic"
Stop killing children!
"Antisemitic"
Turn the water back on!
"Antisemitic"
Palestine will be free!
"Antisemitic"
From the river to the...
"Double Antisemitic"
What can we say?
"Keep bombing"
Gotcha.
If you don't understand why Congress wants to restrict or ban Tik Tok, spend just 15 minutes on there and search for things like "capitalism" or "palestine" and you'll have a pretty good idea.
Aaron Bushnell was active duty in the US Air Force. The USAF has been helping Israel bomb Palestinians in Gaza. Those bombings have killed 13,000+ babies and children so far. When Aaron said "I will no longer be complicit in genocide", this is what he was talking about.
The number of liberals in my threads getting more freaked out about people saying they won't vote for Biden than they are about actual genocide is astounding.
You know who's on the Epstein list? Princes, presidents, politicians, business moguls and celebrities. You know who's not on the list? Teachers, plumbers, home health care workers and uber drivers. There is an "Us vs Them", but it's definitely not Red or Blue.
Within one week, Biden has bombed Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and given Israel the bombs to continue to flatten Gaza and bury babies under rubble. So no, I won't be voting for the psychopath.
A bunch of millionaires who don't know how to attach a PDF file to an email have suddenly become experts kn social media apps and have voted to control tiktok or ban it completely Becasue China. But definitely not because of this....
Is Israel asking for $14 billion to fight Hamas? Hamas' airforce is hangliders. Their tanks are pickup trucks. No, that $14 billion isn't needed to fight Hamas - it's needed to completely flatten Gaza, commit an irreversible genocide on the Paledtinians, and annex Gaza forever.
This is the United States before we invaded our neighboring country Mexico and took half their land now please tell me again about how bad Russia is and how many more billions of dollars we need to spend to stop them?
Harvey Weinstein is spending the next 23 years of his life in a prison cell. One of his spin doctors, Anita Dunn, was hired as a senior advisor for Joe Biden after the Tara Reade story broke. Please explain this to me, without mentioning any checks that Ms. Reade may have bounced
The FBI has video recordings of powerful adult men raping children which, were confiscated from Epstein residence. They have yet to bring charges against any of those men.
This is Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian-American journalist assassinated by Israeli IDF in 2022 in the West Bank. Hamas is not in the West Bank. Abu Akleh was shot in the face while reporting. She was an American citizen. Nations who murder journalists at not democracies.
Hi Jordan. I'm a Marxist in academia, and I find it curious you don't refer ro the more than 250 million people killed because of capitalism and colonialism - all in the name of profit and white US/European world domination.
Oh look, there's half a trillion dollars worth of oil and natural gas off the cost of Gaza and the West Bank and Israel wants it all to themselves. No wonder this is all happening and the US is in lockstep. Jfc.
Food is 36.5% more expensive than it was 5 years ago.
Nearly two-thirds of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
Homelessness spiked to a record high last year.
Half of Americans can't afford a $1000 emergency.
Anyone telling you the economy is good is lying to you.
I have reflected, and unlike Mark Ruffalo, I'd like to reiterate that yes, Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians, and it must stop. Genocide is defined as "the intentional action to destroy a people, in whole or in part". That is exactly what is happening.
Socialism doesn't work, which is why thousands of Cubans are lining up in their cars for miles just to get food for their families to survive. Wait, woops, that's Texas. And I meant capitalism. It's capitalism that doesn't work.
@tbardoul
Q is said to believe that the elite are prone to pedophile rings, but that Donald Trump would save them - and the children - from that evil. Apparently they missed the thing about Trump being sued by a woman who accused him of raping her when she was a 13 year old girl. So no.
So there's a missing F-35 jet potentially flying around somewhere because the pilot ejected and left it on auto-pilot and they can't locate it because F-35s are undetectable by radar maybe it crashed or maybe it's headed for your house either way more $$$ for the military please
No $15 wage.
No public option.
No student debt cancelation.
No $2000 checks.
All of these things were inadequate given the moment we are in, but the Democrats ran on them, control both houses of Congress, and they didn't do any of them.
Remember that time the guy who wanted to give us healthcare ran for president but Dems cheated because he also wanted to break up the banks and instead they ran the candidate who couldn't beat the fascist and then we ended up losing Roe and Affirmative Action? Good times.
MASSIVE anti-Putin protests in Russia. Russian police goons attacking peaceful protesters with clubs, beating them in the head and on the back. The threads are unraveling for this regime. Wait, did I say Russia? I meant France. Did I say anti-Putin? I meant anti-neoliberalism.
Joe Biden's State Dept spokesman Matthew Miller needs to resign immediately for publicly smearing human rights expert and UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese. Calling a principaled woman "antisemitic" for doing her job is abhorrent. Miller must go.
Columbia professor
@ShaiDavidai
has called for doxxing students he disagrees with, accuses students of "glorifying terror" as one speaks about her family killed in Gaza. His obsession w/these students' activities puts their safety at risk. He needs to stop.
I am so tired of this man. It is bizarre & inappropriate for a professor to call for doxxing of students. He’s had dozens of tweets targeting students. Apparently, speaking about my dead family in Gaza means I should be doxxed. earlier, he wanted to “form a coalition for peace”.
Are u fucking kidding me?? At least 400 Palestinians killed by Israel in a targeted attack on a refugee camp. Every US official supporting this has blood on their hands, but it starts at the top. Biden must resign. Blinken must resign. Not one penny more for Israel.
#CeasefireNOW
I am a professional in the field of sexual violence. I find Tara Reade and her allegations of rape against
@JoeBiden
to be credible and believable and I am calling for Joe Biden, who has been credibly accused of rape, to drop out now.
#DropOutBiden
We are not witnessing the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians. We are witnessing the US/Israeli genocide of the Palestinians. Israel is perpetrating this genocide with US weapons, US drone reconnaissance, US intelligence and US diplomatic cover. This is Joe Biden's genocide.
This is NYC, one of the bluest cities in the nation. There are Palestinian solidarity marches daily. There are signs everywhere. Graffiti. And conversations in the street: Israel is committing a genocide and Joe Biden is complicit.
We're asked to feel sorry for the billionaires who imploded on the ocean floor. We're expected to think wall to wall coverage is normal. We're called inhumane if we don't express sorrow over their deaths. But the fact is: the existence of billionaires causes death. For millions🧵
Wife of Harvard Professor uses Islamophobic slurs to harass a Harvard student on campus for wearing a keffiyeh. The student was simply walking down the street. What's with all these bigoted professors and their families harassing students?
“Thank you for walking through neighborhoods with your terrorist scarf.”
A Harvard graduate student wearing a keffiyeh, was subjected to Islamophobic harassment on campus by Eve Gerber, wife of Jason Furman, professor at Harvard's Kennedy School and a former Obama Admin advisor.
I don't want to see another cop kneel in "solidarity" with protesters. I want them to put down their guns, clubs, tear gas and pepper spray and rejoin society.
#WeveSeenEnough
Don't you dare call pro-Palestine activists antisemitic. If you are offended by the use of the term genocide to describe what Israel is doing in Gaza, take it up with holocaust survivor Marione Ingram who lived through a genocide and is trying to stop the one happening right now.
Holocaust survivor Marione Ingram has been protesting against Israel’s war on Gaza almost everyday in front of the White House in Washington, DC.
Born in Nazi Germany to a Jewish family, 88-year-old Ingram tells TRT World that Palestinians in Gaza are now facing a Holocaust
Our message to Democrats: We punish US complicity with genocide by not voting for it. Plain and simple, Joe Biden needs to lose. Want to avoid Trump? Run an anti-genocide candidate and we'll consider voting for them. You have 10 months.
How did Ukranian air defense missiles, which were fired to intercept Russian missiles coming from the east, end up in Poland, which is to Ukraine's West? Hmmm...
Just a reminder that Israel attacked the World Central Kitchen convoy killing 7 aid workers, including an American citizen, the same day they targeted the Iranian consulate in Damascus.
Dems COULD HAVE pressured RBG to retire
Obama COULD HAVE appointed Garland in recess appointment
Dems COULD HAVE held up Amy Coney Barrett nomination until election was decided
Biden COULD expand the court
Instead they decided they'd rather just blame Jill Stein and Bernie
I want a HUD Sec who's been homeless
I want a Defense Sec who was a war refugee
I want a Treasury Sec who's been foreclosed on
I want a Labor Sec who's had to live off unemployment for months
I want a president who's worked for minimum wage in the past 10 years
Democrats just aren't getting it: we're not voting for Genocide Joe. And if you replace him with another genocide-enabling lunatic, we won't vote for them either.
The United States has been at war for 225 of the 246 years it's been in existence. That's more than 91% of the time we've been a nation. No other nation on earth comes close. It's basically all we do.
Democrats don't understand that they're not just losing voters in 2024, they're losing them for life. Apparently genocide doesn't sit well with some people.
BREAKING: The Biden administration has announced that they are going to provide free nutritious lunches to all school-aged children year round. Wait, did I say free lunches? I meant long range missiles. And did I say American school kids? I meant Ukranians. My bad.
Democrats promised free community college. They had two years in the majority. They didn't even try. They didn't stand up for you, why in hell would you stand up for them?
"I'm not voting for Joe Biden and there's not a goddamn thing any of you white mf'ers on this app can do to change my mind or make me feel bad about it. I'm a black queer woman in America and you can't make me feel bad for shit"
George Santos lied about everything, so Dems are demanding he step aside. So here's a list of things that Joe Biden has lied about regarding his personal story throughout his career, which apparently liberals are completely okay with: 🧵
Number of sick days Joe Biden took for COVID: 17
Number of parental leave days Pete Buttigieg took: 28
Number of guaranteed sick days railworkers get: 0
Dems refusing to include at least 7 sick days in the major contract bill that just passed guarantees it won't happen.
Only 22% of Americans want Biden to run again in 2024. If you think Kamala is the savior, her number is only 12%. Pete B pulls in with a stellar 4%. This is no longer a sinking ship, it's actually sunk.
