Gladwyn d’Souza<p>If Durov gives western intelligence agencies full access to his platform, or sells Telegram to a western-friendly billionaire, the charges against him will be dropped. They’re pretending this is about protecting children (isn’t every attack on civil liberties?), but it’s about western leaders protecting themselves from accountability.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/EliminatingWitnessPriviledgesMonstersVersionOfHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>EliminatingWitnessPriviledgesMonstersVersionOfHistory</span></a><br /><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/UniversitiesAreBastionsOfSettlerColonialBrainwashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UniversitiesAreBastionsOfSettlerColonialBrainwashing</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/theyre-not-gonna-stop-at-telegram" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">councilestatemedia.uk/p/theyre</span><span class="invisible">-not-gonna-stop-at-telegram</span></a></p>
Gladwyn d’Souza<p>Prioritizing individual safety and comfort over collective sacrifice is the path most tread because it is what we are taught. This mindset allowed the university to call in a brutal Metropolitan Police force to terrorize, beat, and pepper spray students and community members. President Granbeg, the complicit university administration, and Mayor Bowser demonstrated their priority of maintaining genocidal policies over divesting from them.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/UniversitiesAreBastionsOfSettlerColonialBrainwashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UniversitiesAreBastionsOfSettlerColonialBrainwashing</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/codepink/p/what-i-learned-at-a-gaza-solidarity?r=39z3o&amp;utm_medium=ios" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">open.substack.com/pub/codepink</span><span class="invisible">/p/what-i-learned-at-a-gaza-solidarity?r=39z3o&amp;utm_medium=ios</span></a></p>
Gladwyn d’Souza<p>the ongoing culture-war backlash against higher education in America, largely in response to the grassroots activism of Black Lives Matter in 2020 and increasing LGBTQ+ visibility. More than 150 bills seeking to undermine academic freedom and intervene in university governance were introduced in state legislatures across the country during 2021-2023 details in a recent white paper by Isaac Kamola, director of the Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/UniversitiesAreBastionsOfSettlerColonialBrainwashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UniversitiesAreBastionsOfSettlerColonialBrainwashing</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/alicerothchild/p/week-in-review-47f?r=39z3o&amp;utm_medium=ios" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">open.substack.com/pub/alicerot</span><span class="invisible">hchild/p/week-in-review-47f?r=39z3o&amp;utm_medium=ios</span></a></p>
Gladwyn d’Souza<p>Without mountains of narrative, all you’ve got is a nonstop deluge of raw video footage depicting the blatant genocidal criminality of Israel. No narrative overlay is required atop a video of a baby beheaded by Israeli military explosives. It stands on its own. You’d only need narrative to explain why the footage of the headless baby doesn’t say bad things about the side that’s dropping the bombs.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/UniversitiesAreBastionsOfSettlerColonialBrainwashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UniversitiesAreBastionsOfSettlerColonialBrainwashing</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/caitlinjohnstone/p/i-aint-reading-all-that-free-palestine?r=39z3o&amp;utm_medium=ios" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">open.substack.com/pub/caitlinj</span><span class="invisible">ohnstone/p/i-aint-reading-all-that-free-palestine?r=39z3o&amp;utm_medium=ios</span></a></p>

Gladwyn d’Souza<p>For all the talk of universities as bastions of woke progressivism from some, what is playing out doesn’t look very progressive to those of us watching this in real time in academia. In fact, those on the right are elated about the crackdowns, even as they have previously moaned about intolerance for conservative views on campuses</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/UniversitiesAreBastionsOfSettlerColonialBrainwashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UniversitiesAreBastionsOfSettlerColonialBrainwashing</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/opinion/views/2024/05/23/why-was-police-repression-default-response-opinion" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">insidehighered.com/opinion/vie</span><span class="invisible">ws/2024/05/23/why-was-police-repression-default-response-opinion</span></a></p>
Gladwyn d’Souza<p>Closing of the American mind: The Intercept columnist Natasha Lennard details “the New McCarthyism” on college campuses. “Attention has focused on the spectacle of encampments and the very, very brutal police response,” says Lennard. “What you also have going on behind the scenes is the targeting of individuals who work at universities.”</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/UniversitiesAreBastionsOfSettlerColonialBrainwashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UniversitiesAreBastionsOfSettlerColonialBrainwashing</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2024/5/22/academic_freedom" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">democracynow.org/2024/5/22/aca</span><span class="invisible">demic_freedom</span></a></p>

Gladwyn d’Souza<p>Universities have played a huge role in the bolstering and creation of the nuclear industrial complex. Going back to talking about what a divestment movement would it look like?

Gladwyn d’Souza<p>The amount of acreage under management for land-grant universities varies widely, from as little as 15,000 acres aboveground in North Dakota to more than 2.1 million belowground in Texas. Combined, Indigenous nations were paid approximately $4.3 million in today’s dollars for these lands, but in many cases, nothing was paid at all. In 2022 alone, these trust lands generated more than $2.2 billion for their schools. Between 2018 and 2022, the lands produced almost $6.7 billion... The new data reveals how state trust lands continue to transfer wealth from Indigenous nations to land-grant universities more than a century after the original Morrill Act.<br />It also provides insight into the relationship between colonialism, higher education, and climate change in the Western United States. </p><p><a href="https://grist.org/project/equity/land-grant-universities-indigenous-lands-fossil-fuels/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">grist.org/project/equity/land-</span><span class="invisible">grant-universities-indigenous-lands-fossil-fuels/</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LandBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LandBack</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/StopIntrusionIntoTheWUIAndRematriateLandBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StopIntrusionIntoTheWUIAndRematriateLandBack</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/UniversitiesAreBastionsOfSettlerColonialBrainwashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UniversitiesAreBastionsOfSettlerColonialBrainwashing</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/USSettlerColonialGenrontocracyFundsGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>USSettlerColonialGenrontocracyFundsGenocide</span></a></p>
