BREAKING AT COLUMBIA: STUDENTS HAVE OCCUPIED HAMILTON HALL

this is repulsive. blithely using the term “martyrs” for arrestees when people are being martyred FOR REAL in Gaza daily is appalling, you literally spoke to their family. these students are protesting peacefully, support them or fuck off.

Columbia tonight: music, dancing, and poetry under drones and the near-full moon, beside a glowing Butler Library… A response poem to Refaat’s “If I must die” & a Walid Daqqa reading… Peaceful, clear-eyed, w community-supplied food, blankets, pillows, all for life and justice.

Dear world, listen to the spokesperson of the German interior ministry defining left Jewish, Palestinian, and German activists as 'islamist and antisemitic'.

On travel bans, also against Yanis Varoufakis: 'no comment'

And ending with 'no restrictions on freedom of expression'

68 people have died in Gaza in the last 24h but perhaps that’s less shocking than seeing a few deranged protesters since we definitely never get those in America

'With massive redundancies announced at this London institution, is it the canary in the coalmine?' It's good the Guardian is covering the disaster at Goldsmiths, and elsewhere. But it's also belated: the coalmine is littered with dead and dying canaries. theguardian.com/education/2024…

West seems determined to invite us to treat his campaign as unserious at every opportunity

To generate £2,000,000.
Charge.
A.
Tourist.
Tax.
It’s unreal that this is even being considered. The privatisation of Cornwall continues.

Teemu Taira Oh god this is horrific. Did you know at Goldsmiths our management gave us documents for our redundancy process that had left in “University of Kent” by accident??? 🤦🏾‍♀️ Cut & paste job being done to follow your suit. Solidarity ❤️✊🏿🔥

A 🧵 on today's horrifying The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification report on famine in Gaza.

In my 25 years as a humanitarian this may be, pound for pound, the grimmest analysis I have ever seen.

All the more indefensible since the December projections made clear this was coming.

What the facts show us is that there was a clear, systematic and organised plan to destroy and displace the Palestinian population as very openly stated by the most senior political and military leaders in Israel who continue to very loudly call for the destruction of Gaza.

some reviewers said the zone of interest was too politically disengaged but this is an interesting indication otherwise
