"The #AmericanHistoricalAssociation, the oldest learned society in the United States, has adopted the 'Resolution to Oppose #Scholasticide in #Gaza,' condemning #Israel’s 'intentional effort to comprehensively destroy the Palestinian education system.' We speak to Sherene Seikaly and Barbara Weinstein, two scholars who supported the resolution and helped push for the groundbreaking vote."

Congratulations to my fellow members of the #AHA for passing a resolution condemning #Scholasticide in #Gaza on the part of #Israel and over $12 billion of #USA military support.

I’m masked at the #AHA and security didn’t let me into the exhibition space (where I was going to meet an editor) while other colleagues were inside already.

I understand that the space isn’t officially open, and they were following rules. But they were being selective.

Wearing a mask in the place where #LuigiMangione did his thing probably played a role in their vigilance. But this general suspicion towards masks is dangerous for everyone.
