my phone just reminded me of this: six years ago today, with the May68-inspired banner I sewed (very poorly I might add) on strike in Cambridge with @benaplatt.bsky.social
higher education is in a far worse place now: la lutte continue !!

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1968, during the #May68 events in Paris, #Marxists and #anarchists erected barricades in response to police violence on the 6th. Street battles followed, and on 13 May 2/3 of French workers began a #GeneralStrike. We must recover this spirit of defiance.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1968, French police broke through Paris's #May68 barricades in the #LatinQuarter. The extreme brutality they demonstrated increased anger in the country, and the protests spread. The state and the #police are never on the side of the people or of justice.

On #ThisDayInHistory, a week into the #May68 protests that brought the French economy to a standstill, the #barricades came out. When #police try to drive the people out of the public square and block peaceful #protest, it's time for #PeoplePower to seize the streets.

I started work on a new film project today. I'm currently in the research part of the project, which is always fun and engaging. I hope to start writing the script in the new year. The project title is currently: Il est interdit d'interdire! #May68

Will this spill over and affect change in Gaza? I'm bearish on that outcome. Baudrillard wrote about how May68 was defeated by its own echo on radio and I struggle to *not* see its parallel. That said, these kids aren't amnesiacs. This is imprinting on a whole generation of youth & elite grads lol.

A #GeneralStrike in #France for the #May68 movement, and in response to overwhelming #PoliceBrutality from the #CRS, began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1968. About 10 million workers joined at the start, some participating in factory occupations. Some much-needed reforms followed it.
