Is this the world you want to live in? No. So to do? Ideas: 1. Get involved locally - find an asylum center, immigrant support on your campus 2. Get involved in local elections 3. Organize! Print red cars, start rapid response or escort system 4. Get clarity from workplace re:Ice policy & learn it.

It is worth reading the 4 pages of Columbia's enthusiastic over-compliance to federal threats to get a sense of what's coming down the pipeline for other universities: Expanded commitments to disciplining + policing speech, protest, and intellectual life president.columbia.edu/sites/defaul...

Really impressive article by Slate comparing Cyber trucks to Casspirs used for oppression in the South African apartheid. “Whether through Casspirs or the Cybertruck, apartheid’s militarized, cultural, and psychological legacy roams our streets.” #teslatakedown slate.com/news-and-pol...

The cybertruck resembles the Apartheid militarized vehicle Casspir used to terrorize the Black townships of South Africa. That tells us a lot. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Musk’s Cybertruck isn’t "the future"—it’s a dystopian relic straight from apartheid-era South Africa. Inspired by armored police vehicles that terrorized Black communities, it’s a fitting symbol for a billionaire fascist who idolizes oppression. 1/2

Elon Musk's cybertruck is inspired in Apartheid South Africa's armoured military vehicles that were used for intimidation and repression in the black townships. slate.com/news-and-pol...

What do you see when you see the cybertruck? For my friends @themorningsnows.bsky.social & @nanaoseiopare.bsky.social it's the Casspir, the armored personnel carrier of apartheid South Africa. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Excellent piece by two dear friends @nanaoseiopare.bsky.social & @themorningsnows.bsky.social about the cyber truck & its uncanny similarities to the Casspir, the tank by which the Apartheid regime brutalized Black south Africans during Elon's childhood. 1/ slate.com/news-and-pol...
