Reading the intro to Les Temps modernes by Sartre: "The writer is situated in his time; every word he utters has reverberations. As does his silence. I hold Flaubert and the Goncourts responsible for the repression that followed the Commune because they didn't write a line to prevent it."

It is society that is illiterate, not students
“Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate…Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.”
Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College

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.

Statement on Recent Events
The online targeting and harassment of the LPE Project’s Deputy Director, Helyeh Doutaghi, is part of a broader environment of speech repression, particularly of anti-war and pro-Palestinian views.
