there are D.C. scum calling #StudentSpring "pro-HAMAS protests". the minute anybody in the #Biden admin parrots that shit, all bets are off with #Democrats.
so all liberals on here screaming #VoteBlue no matter who, y'all better get your asses in gear and tell every single person in the White House to drop that shit immediately.
am not some magical Cassandra. i have +30 years experience with the treachery of Democrats against antiwar activists.
don't wanna lose in November? PAY ATTENTION.

i cannot stress enough how the craven warmongering neoliberals in the Democratic party will latch on to fascist propaganda like this and start parroting it everywhere.
BE READY TO PUSH BACK ON THIS NARRATIVE.
if you are Jewish, or an alumni of any of the #StudentSpring universities, it is imperative that we call Alumni Relations and the offices of the provosts to voice our support.

Barnard, Columbia, NYU, The New School: they all are wrapping up the semester. most students are writing papers or getting ready for graduation. April is kinda "lame duck" month.
CUNY & SUNY's semester goes into the end of June. they'll likely be the second wave of protests.
i taught at both NYU & CUNY & sons went to SUNY. the #StudentSpring logistics seem well thought out.

another pointer: DON'T USE JARGON.
instead of: Opposing the indiscriminate killing of noncombatants is not antisemitism.
say instead: i oppose the killing of babies, children & whole families because it's genocide. opposing genocide is not antisemitism. attacking Jewish protesters is.

NYU's Office of the President
Linda Mills
212-998-2345
talked to an office assistant. alumni are calling but seems a trickle.
they asked my name, class of & degree. i
gave them a TL;DR:
1. am livid an #antiwar movement organized with Jewish students leading the way is vilified as pro-HAMAS & antisemitic.
2. disappointed Pres. Mills parroted those talking points.
3. demanding a #ceasefire to save civilians is not controversial.

1. state your name clearly, year of graduation & department
2. tell them you stand in solidarity with the students.
3. say why: in my case? what i have said all along: the right to self-defense is not a right to commit #genocide. focus on one or two points. keep it simple.
4. write it down to make it easier on you. don't make it longer than a toot. they will be inundated with calls.
5. email and letters are also good. use any media.
