A perfect example of Americans making movies about being rebels while they're actually the empire.

Incredible.

Old Irish rebel song 'Oró, Sé Do Bheatha 'Bhaile' (about ending British colonial rule in Ireland and sung by Irish freedom fighters during 1916's Easter Rising and the Irish war for independence) being sung at the pro-Palestinian encampment at GW University.🇵🇸

(h/t Zein El-Amine)

BREAKING : Israel is dropping bombs on tents full of civilians in Rafah right now.

Entire Palestinian families are being massacred, but Western media wants us to be concerned about students peacefully protesting against this genocide on US campuses.

Did you kill the sparrow?
Then why is its song still in the tree?

Crucial to acknowledge that McGill occupies Indigenous lands but Stuart Myiow doesn’t represent Kanienʼkehá꞉ka or have authority to grant such permissions.

Instead of sharing his letter, uplift Ellen Gabriel & Kahentinetha from Mohawk Mothers who have also voiced their support.

The International Criminal Court having to release a statement saying to America and Israel “stop trying to intimidate us with threats, that too is a crime” sure is extremely grim.

There are no universities left in Gaza since they were all bombed by genocidaires, killing faculty, students, staff. But the presidents still alive have issued this in support of students & faculty in solidarity encampments.

Ellen Gabriel: This is not McGill land, not Canadian land, not Quebec land, it belongs to the Haudenosaunee people.

There is no better illustration of the limits of liberalism than the fact that the author of this book has locked us all out of our campus and surrounded it with cops.

Everyone is talking about the student protests. But *stunning* how little we've heard from student organizers themselves. We asked some to explain their aims and concerns. If you read one thing about the protests today, read this: lpeproject.org/blog/from-the-…

This is Annelise Orleck who is the head of the Jewish Studies program at Dartmouth and 65 years old.

NEWS: Dozens of student demonstrators calling for a ceasefire in Gaza have entered King's College Circle at the University of Toronto and are setting up tents

They chant, 'End the surge let them breathe!' and 'U of T pick a side, ceasefire not genocide!'

Saw on instagram there is a student led rally tomorrow at 4pm!! 🇵🇸🕊️ Come support the students!

🚨 Georgia State University, an institution with deep ties to Israel by way of the Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange (GILEE) program, as well as to Cop City, is having graduating students wearing keffiyehs dragged off campus and is threatening to rescind degrees.

Big news coming out of Montreal - the injunction made against the McGill encampment in an effort to get it removed has been rejected in court.

A big win for the Palestine solidarity movement and students and the broader community protesting everywhere ✊

Re: the argument that colonialism gave Native people 'keys to the modern world'-a thought experiment: Aliens arrive on Earth, promise to advance material culture 500 years. In exchange 90% of you will die and the rest will be subject to the Aliens for 200 years. Do you do it?

EXCELLENT article by Michelle Cyca:

'Canadians and their institutions have frequently invoked their efforts to “listen and learn” from Indigenous people. It could be seen as a well-intentioned phrase but is one that is used to justify a posture of perpetual passivity'

Colour me shocked that a half century of Black and Indigenous community movement work to articulate just these kinds of considerations has been ignored here 🙄🙄🙄
