doing nothing and living with yourself will be more uncomfortable than standing up for students and those with less power

if you think you're biding time for a more consequential moment to cash in on all the power you compromised yourself to accumulate, ask yourself: what moment

NYPD is currently mass arresting Columbia University student protesters & loading them onto buses. Pro-Palestine protesters outside the campus are cheering for them & chanting.

As a journal editor, I’ve recently been asked whether PhD graduate students should publish articles while working on their dissertations.

Here’s what I think…🧵

University faculty can connect with this initiative to donate expertise to the students of Gaza.

608,000 Palestinian students remain in everyday peril and have been denied their right to education. Please read and consider contributing.

‼️ As Palestinian journalists, we URGENTLY appeal to you, our colleagues globally, with a demand for immediate and unwavering action against the Biden administration’s ongoing complicity in the systematic slaughter and persecution of journalists in Gaza. medium.com/@gazajournalis…

Meanwhile Rutgers University undergrad student body becomes latest to overwhelmingly vote for divestment from Israel (80.42%). No wonder grown ass adults are hysterical, they know they’ve lost the future.

#Gaza #Genocide #Nakba

We’re staring directly at the flames of Hell & I’m genuinely frightened of anyone who is unmoved by these events

I spoke to Ansa Tabassum, the Muslim valedictorian who had her speech invitation revoked. USC had accommodated big names like Barack Obama and Milo Yiannopoulos before on campus. Why not for their very own student? Our interview huffpost.com/entry/usc-vale…

Columbia and Barnard faculty have been working overtime since December to accompany students to increasingly draconian disciplinary hearings related to protests against Israel's war on Gaza. A colleague just sent this anecdote (shared with permission). This is where we are at

Students responding to the moral issue of our time and all university admins have done is silence them, suspend them, hound them out of student housing, cancel their events, and subject them to disciplinary hearings. Truly shameful.

Tweeps in Gaza reporting a horrific night. Israel is bombarding northern, central & southern Gaza Strip. That this is still ongoing for more than 190 days is really beyond my comprehension. Literally fuck all western leaders. They’re all complicit & no less guilty than Netanyahu.

Ok, what’s happening in Beit Hanoun, north Gaza, right now is that the Israeli tanks withdrew from the city three months ago. Displaced families slowly returned to live in school shelters, just a few hundred meters away from their bombed houses. You know we are humans, we love to…

Within a week, my father, mother, eldest brother, middle brother, my wife, my daughter, and my only son were martyred. Only Sa'faa remained, embracing me, kissing my cheek, saying, 'Daddy, I will compensate for you, but don't be sad.' This morning, Sa'faa was martyred...

It's 2024. Referring to Palestinian land as 'occupied territory' is widely accepted international consensus.

The New York Times continues to attempt to redefine international law & reconstruct reality in an effort to justify Israeli war crimes & shield Israel from scrutiny/accountability.

Solidarity with Jodi Dean

I have written a letter to Mark Gearan, the President of Hobart and William Smith College
Email: [email protected].

Please consider doing so.

The The Tor Project just published an insightful report on how Israel's defense and surveillance industry, which is marketed as 'field-proven' on Palestinians, exports to the rest of the world and threatens privacy and human rights everywhere.

Here are some examples 🧵⬇️

Jodi has been suspended from teaching for her article on the Verso blog. Extramural political speech should not subject professors to discipline from university administrators. If you disagree with Jodi, argue with her. Stop the employer intimidation tactics.

3 things to understand about Iran's retaliatory strike on Israel 🧵

1) Paradoxically, the strike was extremely significant (demonstrating Iran's boldness & capacity for deterrence), but also deliberately designed to minimize casualties to try to avoid an all-out war.
