📍Bard College (Hudson Valley, NY)

Students have taken over the administrative building at Bard in honor of Shaima Refaat Alareer, renaming it Shaima’s Hall.

The students will remain in Shaima’s Hall until the administration commits, in writing to, to meeting their demands.

Last week, I went to an “AI Expo” that was put on by Eric Schmidt’s think tank and funded by Palantir. It was incredibly bleak and surreal. For The Guardian, I wrote about my experience, and the people I met:

BDS is the floor not the ceiling. We demand nothing less from CUNY than full solidarity with Palestinian resistance.

Democrats cannot cede ground to far-right extremists. We must listen to the coalition fighting for justice, saving lives & a free & fair democracy, from St. Louis to Gaza

Solidarity with every encampment and every student mobilising to resist genocide. Until Palestine is free 🇵🇸

It can be done.

A thread

Respect and solidarity with Professor Tiffany Willoughby-Herard.

You know there will be yt ppl in her DMs telling her she's 'brave' and continuing to say nothing publicly.

This is terrifying and must be watched. Hope UCLA administration is besieged with lawsuits for allowing counterprotesters to violently attack their students. Cops did nothing. And Jerry Seinfeld’s wife funded it.

“We know that CUNY unleashed cops onto campus… with the full knowledge of the disparities that Black, brown, and working-class people already face under the system”
