Among those arrested in Atlanta today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University. You can hear her ask the PhD student taking the video:
“Can you call the Philosophy Department office and tell them I’ve been arrested?...I’m Noelle McAfee, I’m Chair of the Philosophy Department”
I'm in awe of how we ran historical revisionism on the civil rights movement so bad that people truly believe it was quiet self-sacrifcial non-disruptive christ-like activism that forced progress and not — like — the incredible economic pressure of boycotts and outbreaks of illegal civil disobedience
Yapping to the choir but eughhh it burns me up girl effective protests have to be loud and inconvenient for change to happen because silent cries die in the dark that's the entire pointtt
ok turns out the tiktok ban did get passed and i have to reiterate as shitty as the app is and how harmful it is, the fact that the ban came as a result not of any actual good reason but because the us government wants to silence people is actually horrible and is inexcusable. if this is how harmful things are treated—only if it inconveniences the government—then it shows just how corrupt america is tbh and endangers actual free speech. the reason why that amendment was implemented in the first place is to allow criticism of the government yet when you do that you get gassed, arrested, even killed. fuck this country man.
