A fun little bit of trivia on this whole thing, one of Israel's biggest exports is police training. So if your wondering why the cops are so eager to get involved here, it's because divestment from Israel cuts off funding for going to apartheid summer camp.

I often think of the Siddiqi quote that “every border implies the violence required to maintain it,” and how one of the biggest tricks neoliberalism pulled off over the last 30 years is getting people to think the infrastructure of said maintenance could only ever be aimed outward or downward.

There was a calculated effort after the Vietnam War to prevent universities from ever spearheading social change again.

Thinking on KRS-ONE's teaching that rap is something you do while hip hop is something you live in the context of how White folk use "hip hop" as a code for "palatable rap". Just elides a whole living culture like nothing, in keeping with the White MO.

The most shocking revelations:
1) Google fired employees for simply interacting with the protesters
2) The protesters were put on administrative leave midday so Google could revoke their security badges/access to server, which made it possible to claim they were trespassing.

![KABAS: I was looking back, and in the past, Google employees have resigned as a result of company retaliation against their activism and some, like you, have been fired. Why in this specific case do you think they took the more extreme action of going straight to firing you?
IBRAHEEM: I think they're scared. I think Google is genuinely afraid of their workers standing up against this project. We know that we [No Tech For Apartheid] are a worker-led organization, even though many times they have tried to paint us as an external group that doesn't represent actual employees. But no, we are Google employees. That's why we all were fired. And Google understands the power that we have, and they are afraid that by more of us speaking up, that they will actually have to do something about it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ejihld4sywvvqwe67cdkn4jq/bafkreiguyuj7u5aboa4r5gj2t7bmr2y7jzyzr7uyyrbltm4kughjjiybbe@jpeg)
