News Brief: Campus Anti-Genocide Protests and the Weaponization of Squishy, Bad-Faith "Safety" Rhetoric
Added 2024-04-27 17:46:26 +0000 UTCIn this public News Brief, we discuss Establishment reaction to pro-Palestinian protests on US campuses, from liberal handwringing to police crackdowns to therapy-speak.

Have you guys checked out the podcast Colonial Outkasts? They are SO on point with their episodes about the US and Israel, I'd love to hear Greg Stoker or Mark Wayne do an episode with you guys.

2024-05-19 21:56:01 +0000 UTCJust finished listening today after attending a march that was entirely peaceful except some guy screaming obscenities at those of us at the march. Now we are blessed with the headlines about counter-protesters attacking at UCLA and yet somehow they fail to mention until the article that they're pro-Israel.

2024-05-02 02:00:22 +0000 UTCI still can't wrap my head around why so many people say Larry Summers is smart or perceptive. He has missed the mark on so many predictions/policy suggestions and is one of the most unconvincing and uninteresting speakers I've ever seen who somehow still manages to regularly get airtime. I can't help but feel that he is a pretty cruel person and a subpar scholar who never should have become a professor at Harvard, let alone its president.

2024-04-29 04:11:46 +0000 UTCI've noticed that Israeli spokespeople have started calling Hamas genocidal terrorist. I never heard this until recently. I'd love for y'all to look into the rhetorics of this attack.

2024-04-28 11:31:45 +0000 UTCCongrats on the new baby! The weaponization of mental health speech and the reactions of college administrations in this country as these encampments go up has been so disheartening and is antithetical to the goals of education. I also noticed MSNBC giving it a shot last week to try to tie Trump to BB by referring to him as the BB of the US- which to me was a laughable attempt to try to get the zoomers on side.

2024-04-28 01:09:48 +0000 UTCit’s 100% the result of Biden world not wanting to deal with the optics of having a weak & crumbling coalition that you don’t see more electeds withholding their vote or lobbying for a ceasefire in any meaningful way. Biden needs his surrogates out there chirping about the inflation reduction act & whatnot

2024-04-27 19:53:30 +0000 UTCI had a feeling we were getting a News Brief on this after that story about the Zionist counter-protestor supposedly getting "stabbed in the eye" made the rounds.
