a lot of the coverage of the Palestinian genocide is focusing on the US student protests and the narrative is constantly in danger of shifting away from what the protests are actually about and a lot of the language is now speaking in terms of police brutality, silencing of free speech, etc. It's not a radical thing to say that this isn't exactly helpful to the Palestinian cause if the actual reasons for the protests aren't constantly front and center. A lot of people have already made this point. I do not think the genie can necessarily be put back in the bottle with how the protests and the police reaction to them are entering the public consciousness of the USian people. A lot of people are or will become aware of these protests through the lense of these simply being instances of police brutality, and police brutality is a critical issue that many USamericans are very passionate about thus making it difficult to reframe the context of these images of police slamming white professors into pavement towards awareness of Israels decades long illegal occupation and systematic and indiscriminate displacement and murder of Palestinians. What I feel needs to be done is try to reframe these images flooding the internet not *away* from issues of police brutality and homesoil fascism, but in the wider context of imperialist governments taking the lessons they learn oppressing "foreign peoples" and turning them inwards. That police brutality is not disconnected from imperialist mass murder. That the one thing connecting the assaulted USian protester and the trans israeli denied gender affirming care for refusing to serve in the fascist Israeli military and the Palestinian child buried alive for the crime of being Palestinian... the one thing connecting them is that, sooner or later, they are all victims of power. Our rights are granted to us inequitably, unevenly, and are just as quickly stripped away when we do not serve the interests of fascist power. We are either a tool of the state or an enemy of the state. The Palestinian, not the innocent or the guilty but the human being Palestinian, is murdered because she can not be useful to the state while she is still breathing. She can never have the "privilege" of being a tool. I'll say it again: We outside of Palestine who can go to protests, who have families, who are able bodied, who can work, who can keep their head down or speak without immediate retaliation have the "honor" of choosing to be a tool of the state or an enemy of the state. The Palestinian has no choice.

There will always be an armed cop ready to arrest you and kill your brother as long as there is a bomb ready to drop on the heads of Palestinian children. Fascism trickles up and inward.

in new orleans, where the street car lines run, we have something called neutral ground. it's green space that bisects the road where the track runs, public property.

while marching for palestine, a white porsche registered to famous injury lawyer and prominent zionist morris bart driven by his sister drove onto the neutral ground and tried to plow through our march. if she hadn't been stopped, i would have been hit. her porsche was aimed at my body and the bodies of everyone marching with me. she was issued a ticket.

attempted murder was not a problem for NOPD.

our encampment on tulane university's campus was across from the neutral ground on st. charles avenue. zionist counter protestors set up there, shouting obscenities at us from across the street. not just usual zionist faire either, not just calling us terrorists or shouting "hamas killed babies". in fact, that was about 1% of the chanting they did. the main thing they shouted at us was "fatasses" and "show us your tits".

blatant sexual harassment was not a problem for NOPD.

the next day, my friends were arrested on the neutral ground trying to leave the encampment and get back to their homes and dorms.

that was a problem for NOPD.

COUNTER-PROTESTERS ATTEMPT TO DISTURB PALESTINE SOLIDARITY PROTESTS AND CONTINUE BEING IGNORED

📹 Counter-protesters attempt to disturb peaceful Palestine Solidarity protests by screaming and waving Israeli flags, while a woman shoves her phone in the face of protesters before ripping the mask off another.

Palestine solidarity protesters ignore the counter-protesters and assemble to listen to a local Reverend give a speech in support of students.

Police force the woman to leave the area, but do not arrest her.

Tents at the protest include a medical tent, live music, erected barriers and even a student-to-police liaison.

Police have made no aggressive moves on protesters as of this time

The David Talbot novel, a portion of which was used for Pandora. It'll diverge pretty soon with some new Mekare and Maharet stuff I find really interesting.

Part 3:

Parts 1 & 2: Link

As a reminder: Anne's drafts have a lot of Ideas in them. They're interesting ideas! But this doesn't make them "canon". The canon is the published work. This is insight and some ideas, take them or leave them :)

Bona fide Loustat from the Tulane University Special Collections.

(Anne Rice journals)

They're in a crypt the candle burning down. Louis paralyzed with sleep, Lestat awake. Lestat comes over to the shelf + sits beside Louis, leans over - holding Louis in arms. Louis groggy, powerless - and L bites his tongue, lets the blood spill into Louis' moth - and for the first time in over 200 years his mind opened to me. I felt terror. I would pierce the undisguised heat of his hatred but a great rosy light surrounded us and in a moment I held him in a grip so close that nothing came between us, and I felt his wordless love flowing into me as surely as my love flowed into him ` prayers, whispers, souls blending with a great absolute and unyielding power for some particle of human understanding + then a turning from the desperate seeking of the divine to me, to me, to my heart, and then as if we knelt together on the damp stone cold floor of a church he turned and pressed his forehead against my face and whispered 'Brother, lover!'

Let me forgive you for not being God! Forgive me for ever demanding that you be what you cannot be + never was!

STUDENT PROTESTERS COMPLETELY NON-VIOLENT, IGNORE INSTIGATORS

📹 As student protests are ongoing at Tulane University, in New Orleans, where a student draped in an Israeli flag repeatedly attempted to instigate Palestine solidarity protesters, approaching protesters multiple times while being completely ignored as cars of local residents honk in support.

The instigators also drove by protests while waving the Israeli flag out of the car window, which was also ignored by protesters as cars behind the counter-protesters continued honking.
