No one should *ever* be targeted for speaking out in solidarity with Palestine, including my brilliant colleague @helyehdoutaghi.bsky.social. These are terrifying times, and we must all stand together against repression.

My first post -- the occasion is a piece I coauthored with Prof. Wadie Said, which we hope will have some impact on the thinking of university administrators and those in a position to put pressure on them. We're grateful to Dissent for publishing the piece.

Buffalo people: are there any news stories of police misconduct seared into your brain that occurred sometime between approximately 2000 and 2010? (For the purposes of a research project, I'm looking for stuff that was high profile and in the news.)
