With the brutal war on Gaza raging on, Israel continues to commit documented war crimes and atrocities by bombing journalists, aid workers, hospitals and civilians. These crimes against humanity are added to the list of actions that Israel has taken that are deemed ‘plausible’

People are still being killed in Gaza. Don’t lose focus.

Security guards hired by UCLA retreated and hid inside a building last night as counter-protesters attacked a pro-Palestine encampment.

They refused to let anyone else inside, including UCLA student journalists covering the events, Daily Bruin reports:

In the spring of 1985 we padlocked the front doors of Hamilton Hall, renaming it Mandela Hall, and encamped on the steps for three weeks. Columbia divested from South Africa in the fall of 1985.

Friends, please, please amplify. The NYPD are now raiding City College. Reports are hundreds of cops. Please, I know that what happened at Columbia tonight is sickening--but this is Part II. And our @cuny students are largely working class students of color.

THIS IS THE SCENE @COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY AND THE NYPD DID NOT WANT YOU TO SEE. THIS IS WHY THEY FORCED EVERYONE OUT. POLICE USED TASERS & TEAR GAS ON STUDENTS. YOU CAN HEAR SCREAMING AT THE END. WE STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE INSIDE THE BUILDING. youtu.be/7T3shB7wYdI?si…

Legal witnesses just confirmed that protesters heads have been smashed against the sidewalk, their heads beaten with batons.

History repeats itself - April 30, 1968

As someone who was in Charlottesville, and who didn’t start a disastrous war that killed so many people, from the absolute bottom of my heart, fuck off forever

WKCR is reporting that NYPD will not even allow the *dean of the j-school* to stand outside the building and try to see what’s happening.

WKCR REPORTS AN UNCONSCIOUS STUDENT ON THE GROUND IN FRONT OF HIND HALL

I have never felt so much disgust at the administration of my Alma mater, nor pride in the community of students and teachers

Students at Columbia linking arms in front of the main gate to prevent NYPD from entering and arresting their comrades.

Arrests now.

crowdsourcing question: does anyone have recommendations for literature on the use of of battle / violence metaphors in the business context?

As a former tech worker and current researcher of tech, it's huge to see No Tech For Apartheid take a stand like this. 'As code becomes tantamount to weaponry, this call could not be more urgent.'

Not me crying watching the Black students at Stanford provide free breakfast for everyone at the Palestine encampment. 😭😭😭

What a way to do the work and honor the Black Panther Party.
