Texas Antisemitism Executive Order

PLEASE SHARE THIS AROUND!!

As many of y'all know by now, I am a Texan. Specifically a Texan in higher education, at a public university. Gov. Abbott's new executive order to have public universities crack down on Anti-Semitic speech directly impacts the students advocating for Palestine.

Phrases such as "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" can now be considered HATE SPEECH!

“Some radical organizations on our campuses engaged in acts that have no place in Texas,” Abbott said in a press release. “Now, we must work to ensure that our college campuses are safe spaces for members of the Jewish community.”

This was never about protecting Jewish people, but protecting Zionists. The order was issued after universities across Texas had issues after Oct. 7th's events. Pro-Palestine and Pro-Israel students were butting heads, and some broke out into fights according to some sources. As a uni student myself, I have seen these conflicting sides in person. Abbott's statement also makes no mention of the Anti-Islamic rhetoric that has also been spreading due to Israel's persecution of Palestinians.

This order calls for all public universities and colleges review their free speech policies, and to lay out in their policies the definition of antisemitism, and punishments for Anti-Semitic rhetoric. All within 90 days of the order's publishment.

Most of this appears to be banking on HB 3257, the bill that introduced Texas' Holocaust, Genocide, And Antisemitism Advisory Commission

Now, there has been some actual pushback on this, from the The Texas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Texas) as well as students and administration from the universities and colleges effected.

“This order not only undermines the principles of free speech and academic freedom but also perpetuates a harmful narrative that equates criticism of Israeli policies with antisemitism,” CAIR-DFW Executive Director Mustafa Carroll said in a statement.

Taken from the Dallas Morning News article posted earlier in this post.

The wordage used by Abbott worries many people, due to the fact that it is so vague. To the point where criticizing Israel and it's government can be considered hate speech.

Please share this around. If it is happening here, it can happen to any state.

Don't stop speaking about Palestine. Don't stop supporting the Palestinian citizens who are displaced right now. Educate your peers, donate if you are able, and don't give up hope.

May I request James Norrington & Governor Swann + 57. Sacrifice?

57. sacrifice

“…and though I hate to leave Port Royal as it is, laws suspended as they are,” Governor Swann says, arms crossed tightly behind his back as they recess on the quarter gallery of the Endeavour, “it is the price I have paid to see her—and you, mind— safe again.”

Safe. Norrington grips the rail before them and considers the price he has paid for his own security. He lifts his eyes from his sunburned, white-knuckled hands to the wake of the Flying Dutchman’s warpath in which they sail; Davy Jones has been hard at work, hunting and destroying so many pirates under Lord Beckett’s yoke.

Governor Swann looks at Norrington without seeing him, occupied with his own sins, and asks in a low voice, “Is…is there a chance she lives, James?”

“We can only hope,” he says hoarsely, though he cannot bear the thought of seeing Elizabeth again, and forces himself to watch as the mast of another ship sinks beneath the bright ripple of sea foam to the depths.

Revisiting The Witch's Familiar and I just realised... it's the same filming location!

Now is it the same location in-universe? Did the Doctor enter the Governors' / Angels' realm before, or has Clara been inside M017 at Coal Hill before and is therefore imagining Twelve as being there?

I guess the new Barbara Wright building might be built at this point, so I suppose the latter is possible... I would question why Clara hadn't noticed something, but perhaps the Governors wanted to interview her and wipe her mind Black Archive style?

On the other hand, Missy does say the Doctor was being chased by "android" assassins, doesn't she?

man. i don't want to be this person but I hate that the moment nex benedict's death stops trending, a lot of other usamericans are going to go back to back to not caring about oklahoma again. cause like. things have been getting real bad for a long time. and it feels like every time ive brought this issue up, even to other americans, ive been dismissed because i live in a red state, or because we're too far south for most people to care.

now people are talking about the christofacist state senator who said that shit about them. and, like, good!!! but fuck, man. that's all of our senators right now. dusty deevers from lawton is a christofascist pastor who's trying to abolish no fault divorce. ryan walters, the state superintendent, is a christofacist who put libs of tiktok on a private school board to keep trans books out of school, even AFTER news broke that libs of tiktok had been connected to three school bomb threats in tulsa. oklahoma is currently hearing 59 active trans bills. that's the largest number in any state by over 20. we've been in an intense decline into hysteria since mid 2023 and no one listened. and now nex benedict's death is going to be a trend for like two weeks and then no one is going to care anymore. and even now: everyone is going to be focused on this one cause that they won't bother to help fix the still very present issues that lead to their death.

Okay, I don't know if this is anything at all, but I think I need a Barbie movie style montage to this song featuring Three from The Murderbot Diaries after breaking its governor module when it has sort of lost part of its sense of self and everything is new and scary and it doesn't know what it wants or what it should do with itself or who it's supposed to be now and the world is so wide and so intimidating. Unfortunately I don't have the skills to do anything with that so I'll just... think about it... very hard.... :(
