Yesterday I wrote about how Turning Point put many of us on the Professor Watchlist

What I didn't write about was the years of harassment from the right, including rape, deportation & death fantasies that played out in my messages, comments in the stories about me & voice mails. That’s his legacy.

The harassment campaign of mostly Black & Brown women & queer junior professors was effective. Some of were fired, others were silenced, all were harassed. The right learned they could attack & that universities would not fight back. It was a blueprint for attacks on higher ed more broadly 3/

Dr. Subini Ancy Annamma is an Associate Professor of Education at Stanford University. Following the controversial killing of an unarmed black woman by police officers in Seattle, Annamma tweeted that, “The systemic violence that killed Charleena Lyles is the very foundation of the country.” She then went even further by saying, “There is no time to return to make America great again, unless you are deeply invested in white supremacy & killing of black & brown people…to secure your own white property through racism, ableism, [and] cis-heteropatriarchy.”

The article on SLAPP suits I penned for Australian Quarterly, looking at the growing trend of legal bullying by corporations and calling for strong anti-SLAPP laws in Australia, is now available in full on the Greenpeace website, republished with permission.

I actually believe we can have nice things. Homes, and neighborhoods, food on the table, free time. A planet to live on. Theater and dance, and guitar that will break your heart. The trick is, we just have to keep fighting for them because some people want servants, too.

@eckes-uva.bsky.social and I wrote a @verfassungsblog.de post on the silencing effect of the Energy Transfer v Greenpeace lawsuit before the N. Dakota court which resulted in a finding of $660 million of damages for Energy Transfer, one of the principal companies behind the Dakota Access Pipeline.

"Silencing Greenpeace"

A North Dakota jury has ruled that Greenpeace must pay hundreds of millions of dollars over pipeline protests.

CHRISTINA ECKES and PHILLIP PAIEMENT argue: The Greenpeace case is a significant test for the EU's Anti-SLAPP Directive.

Quote: “Now, we will see if the Anti-SLAPP Directive is robust enough to protect European civil society actors from abusive lawsuits.”

The US-Europe split continues to widen in new and unprecedented ways: “Norwegian fuel company Haltbakk Bunkers has announced it will cease supplying fuel to U.S. military forces in Norway and American ships docking in Norwegian ports, citing dissatisfaction with recent U.S. policy towards Ukraine.”

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota.

But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies
Senator Tina Smith said: This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

That was in response to Musk saying “Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.”

Musk responded @SenTinaSmith “What did you get done last week?”

Listening to Eyal Weizman & Francesca Albanese talk about how the Genocide Convention applies to Israel's actions in Gaza. This event was cancelled by original host, the Free University of Berlin, & almost couldn't find a new venue. Standard in Berlin these days

Interesting to see that Shell have revised their CCS assumptions down quite significantly, for both their 'ambitious' scenarios and their 'archipelagos' ('evolving policy') scenarios

Fundamentally still absurd relative to the reality, but interesting. Shell deleted their CCS target in March last yr

If terminating one’s federal govt job is ‘ruining their life’ what does Vance think he has done to the other 10s of thousands of federal employees the last two weeks?

Vance: a little eugenics shouldn’t cost this 25-year-old child his government job
Vance: Here’s my view:  

I obviously disagree with some of Elez’s posts, but I don’t think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid’s life. 

We shouldn’t reward journalists who try to destroy people. Ever. 

So I say bring him back. 

If he’s a bad dude or a terrible member of the team, fire him for that.
