as astute colleagues of mine point out: it's weird how #UofT has the money to hire white American "star" professors exiting because of Trump2 while it simultaneously has zero money to hire Palestinian, Black, and racialized women scholars who languish in contract teaching positions, their free speech suppressed by the Administration, fearful of losing their precarious jobs

University of Toronto, Canada



Have some compassion for poor AI, it didn't ask to be this thirsty

Okay, that was the sweetest thing.

I was asked to come back inside The Circle to leave with the campers.

It's empty now.
I love these youts.

Every weirdo who wants their 15 minutes is here.

Every fucking conspiracy theorist.
Every antisemite.
Every person with a grudge is here, and I cannot run interference on every outlet hoping to paint the encampment as antisemitic — despite the judge's actual ruling — and it's not even my job.

So bear that in mind when you watch the news tonight.

@Gigi Your protest is deemed not violent, not anti-Semitic, and informative because of the multifaith sit-ins.

Yet there is "harm" done because you're taking up space on a campus that your fellow protestors attend regularly? And that "harm" is greater than the harm that will come when police come to arrest the protestors?

The hypocrisy here is astounding. If you are only allowed to protest when and where the university wants, then you are not allowed protest.

TPS is, of course, chomping at the bit to uphold white supremacy. As usual.

The University will NOT be collecting signs and other collateral for their "archives".

Have a heaping helping of Fuck You.

A sizeable number of outlets attended the media conference.

The camp will be closing early to the public as a meeting is about to start, to discuss next steps.

Prepping for a media conference in 15 minutes.
