Palestine put the western liberal order up for a referendum, and the world is resoundingly voting “no confidence.”

Good morning to the UChicago Popular University for Gaza! 🌅🍉🇵🇸

Uplifting their community agreement #1 as we head into the day: 'We never lose focus of why we are here— Solidarity with the Palestinian people.'

Read their demands below:

I can guarantee that not a single one of the YIMBYs mad in the replies and QTs that the U of C students are (correctly) making demands around gentrification has ever spoken to anyone from South Shore

This was an especially moving speech!

In 1986 we occupied the Dean’s office & built a shantytown in Harvard University Yard to force the university to divest from companies profiting from apartheid S. Africa. They threatened us with expulsion. We said, “F*uck you, we won’t do what you tell us.” Students! Thanks for keeping

Just a reminder that Germany kicked off the Holocaust by rendering all Jewish Germans stateless. They had no passports and no travel papers, so they were either trapped in place or had to rely on illegal ways to escape the mass murder.

When Germany renders people stateless --

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.

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.

THIS POLICE OFFICER WAS BRUTALLY BEATING ON A STUDENT OR PERSON WHILE PUSHING THEM AGAINST A TRUCK AT UT AUSTIN CAMPUS. THIS IS AN EXCESSIVE USE OF FORVE AGAINST STUDENTS

The demands of the UChicago Popular University for Gaza who started the encampment. It's what decolonizing the university should be: cutting the university from war-making, genocide, carbon & policing reorienting it towards reparations & rebuilding. 'Divest, Disclose, Repair'

Please amplify #northwestern win so students & faculty everywhere can see what's possible. Take wins and build on them. We have a lot more to do. Fight for disclosure. Fight for ending genocide.

Congratulations to the students & Palestine coalition at Northwestern for an excellent deal! There is no divestment without disclosure! And they managed 2 b the first encampment to get commitment for disclosure. They also protected their protest space which will continue. 1/2

Heading home. Genuinely in awe of my students, of this generation, of all of us!

one really jawdropping part of the campus-wide email just sent by UChicago's president

There are 24 living former ASA Sociology presidents. Of these, 19 have signed onto a letter officially endorsing our Resolution for Justice in Palestine. I’m really proud to have comrades like my Sociologists for Palestine fam. Now let’s win this!

💯💯💯💯💯

So let’s remember that however these go, their actual existence is a movement win.
