Bus drivers refused to transport protestors from last night's Seder in the Streets to the precinct, forcing cops to drive the busses. Power and solidarity to the union bus drivers with twu 100 who refuse to collaborate with the NYPD, which commandeers MTA busses for mass arrests.

Our take,as Boğaziçi University faculty, on Gaza, student protests, freedom of expression and most importantly academic freedom.👇

Over 300 anthropologists (and counting) call out American Anthropological Association leadership for its weak stances on Palestine and refusal to take direction from last summer's supermajority membership vote for boycott. Warns of no-confidence vote if things don't change. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Israel's use of #IHL jargon (warnings, evacuation orders, safe zones) is to create the illusion that its military operations ensure protection of civilians. This "humanitarian camouflage" has de facto turned Gaza into a place "without civilians", where everything is detroyable &

Let's be clear. As the ICJ orders Israel to stop its offensive in Rafah, Israel intensifies its attacks on it. The news I am receiving from the people trapped therein are terrifying. Be sure: Israel will not stop this madness until WE make it stop. Member states must impose

The paper of record has endorsed Macron’s decision to hand France over to the hard right. The logic of the essay looks airtight, but is deeply flawed. The author thinks that populists (the irrational people they are) will do a terrible job of governing and will then be voted out+

In a series of articles, I have discussed why this doesn't apply to all populists. The Turkish and Indian cases show that in countries where hard right government is based on mass organizations, good governance is not necessary to stay in power for decades. +

I invite Financial Times, Macron supporters, and all those who want to give the hard right a chance to take contemporary non-Western European and historical Western European cases seriously. Their geographical and historical narrowness is going to cost the world a lot.

Solidarity with all staff at Goldsmiths facing vicious and unnecessary redundancies, & humiliating treatment from the management. This is all part of the Tory push to shut down all but a handful of universities. Be careful what you don't speak up for.

The motion calling for Cambridge to divest from the arms industry has been officially published: admin.cam.ac.uk/reporter/2023-… 165 members of Regent House publicly signed it, more than 3x what was needed to bring it to a vote. I am immensely proud to call them all my colleagues.

There’s a lot of us watching the disgusting rioting & language in cities across the UK actioned by those who feel *we* don’t deserve to be here in the UK. Their opinion matters little to me, don’t let them get to you. Please. They’re beating the same old centuries-old drum.

We can be precise and principled in order to face the danger that the far-right present. I will be attending counter demos this week and mobilising other Jewish folks as well. Here's a list of places where folks are hoping to organise counter demos: x.com/ukisnotinnocen…

After 100 days of continuous action, the Cambridge Encampment for Palestine finally closed on Wednesday. This is a thread documenting the incredible things I witnessed there over the last 3 months, in the hope of demystifying the protest for my many colleagues who remain silent.

The end of term also brought Cambridge May Week, a week in June that celebrates the opulence and wasteful parties that can only be found at Oxbridge. King’s College hosted a ferris wheel and 6-hour drunken dance party at ~£150 per ticket. We didn’t sleep that night.

Read the writing on the wall. #StopTheGenocide

HAPPENING NOW: Columbia students are picketing on the first day of classes to demand the university divest from Israel. As the admin works to suppress their right to peacefully protest for Gaza, students say they’re more determined than ever to mobilize.
