🚨 An Important Update on JC Live 🚨

Shame on Brooklyn College for censoring Jewish Currents Live where I’m scheduled to record a live ep of The Dig. This action is an expression of the anti-Palestinian racism legitimating genocide and also profoundly antisemitic in its assertion that Jews are only valid if Zionist.

Asked my brother how hot it got in the CA prisons that he was in. He estimated 108-110 degrees. "They would pass out ice if we were lucky. But ice was a luxury commodity." Fans had to be purchased.

Why do this the day after a sweep at the same location? There were several cop cars at Cotner yesterday as well as a DOT officer and plenty of tow trucks nearby. Why come back for a car with expired plates? This seems targeted. Cruel in this heat to say the least.

Tracking ID swipes. Reviewing CCTV footage. Hiring private investigators. These are some of the ways Columbia and Barnard have employed surveillance to identify and discipline student protesters, according to interviews and documents. l8r.it/7Iyi

"The Israeli army called my shooting an 'accident,' claiming the soldiers fired live rounds into the air ... The truth is they fired straight at me." Column: I'm an American activist. Israeli forces shot me at a peaceful protest in the West Bank time.com/7020159/daniel…
