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.
this is the garbage just published at The Hill (honestly, it's the only reason i keep an eye on these fuckers).
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.

here's some pointers on how to prepare for your phone call:
https://mastodon.social/@blogdiva/112329680269324227
BTW use the same template for calls to your local/state/congressional reps. just add to #1 that information
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.
KEEP IT SIMPLE
UPDATE: MY #NYU CALL
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.
CALL YOUR UNIS!
