“Rather than embrace the transition to clean, renewable energy, fossil fuel interests and their allies in government aim to weaken the powerful tool of protest so they can continue to frack, drill and mine unchallenged, without addressing the human and ecological cost of continued extraction.” #protest #resistance #FossilFuels #climate #green

“In the first few months of his presidency, Trump has augmented the “Palestine exception” – that amorphous but consequential social limitation of the first amendment that enables suppression of pro-Palestinian/anti-Zionist speech – with an “Israel exception” from DEI prohibitions” #fascism #racism #gaza #genocide

Every articulation of anti-Israel speech (or even the simplest affirmation of Palestinian human rights) gets recoded as dangerous antisemitic action.” #inversion

“Ms. Srinivasan, a Fulbright recipient who was pursuing a doctoral degree in urban planning, was caught in the dragnet of [convicted felon]President Trump’s crackdown on pro-Palestinian demonstrators through the use of federal immigration powers. She is one of a handful of noncitizens that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has targeted at Columbia in recent days.” #fascism #gaza #genocide #resistance #immgration

“We did not go from zero to attempting to deport green card holders for political activism in a matter of weeks. The Biden administration’s brutal crackdown on student protesters led to this moment. University officials cooperating with this crackdown on protesters led to this moment. The mainstream media’s dehumanization of Palestinians led to this moment.” #gaza #genocide #palestine

“Although white people make up 7 percent of the country’s population, they own at least half of South Africa’s land. Police statistics do not show that they are any more vulnerable to violent crime than other people. And white South Africans are far better off than Black people on virtually every marker of the economic scale.” #racism #inversion #apartheid
