Earlier today GW instructed staff to hang this giant American flag behind the encampment. This is how the encampment responded. These young people are awe inspiring. A historic image.

'Many of the universities’ most generous billionaire donors openly support the Israeli government’s actions and buy into the idea that university students are dangerous radicals suppressing the free speech of others by expressing their own views.'

'green the economy'- eg make all those nasty horrible emissions go away whilst leaving everything else as it is. Its not even a laudable aim, let alone a realistic one.

🇨🇦🇺🇲The Encampment at the University of Toronto in Canada continues to grow MASSIVE..

History will remember the courageous students of America for starting a global movement to save Gaza.

Wow 🥹 in a *starred review* Publishers Weekly calls THE LANGUAGE OF CLIMATE POLITICS 'a revelatory study'— also noting that it offers not just political analysis and comms guidance, but also 'piquant media-junkie fare' lol

So I guess, uh, *preorder here*: amazon.com/Language-Clima…

If you look closely, you'll see that it at least partly represents the trajectory of the argument. 😉

On Monday Myanmar had its hottest day on record, an unbelievable 48.2C (118.8F). Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, China, and parts of India have also been struck by record breaking temperatures above 40C. These temperatures will kill thousands. 1/2

Maya Wind explains that Hebrew Uni researchers are collaborating with Israeli military to create 'target banks' in Gaza. This level of complicity is staggering, and our own unis have institutional links with them.

Remember, everything that's happening in the US right now—every rubber bullet, every lie from a public official—is consciously designed to make this possible.

Horrific scenes are coming out of UCLA.

America's message to the world is clear:

You can't protest
You can't march
You can't chant
You can't express solidarity or wear certain symbols

If we fund Genocide, you must accept it.

This isn't democracy. It's Israeli dictatorship.

UCLA student: 'It's not going to be the end, until the genocide ends, and the funding for the genocide ends'

I need everyone, esp in academia, to watch this clip and understand what Maya Wind is saying when she says that Israeli universities are deeply complicit in the Gaza genocide. Hebrew Uni is helping define targets. Tel Aviv Uni is developing arguments against human rights.

Absolutely 100% loving what is happening on campuses across the world. #Palestine

🚨🇮🇱 If you compare this to Nazi Germany, you will soon be committing a crime.

Really beautifully written statement from a student journalist who actually entered our Liberated Zone rather than observing from afar. His conclusion? “I suppose it means hope. I hope it means hope.”

I wrote about the crackdown on campus protests.

Universities like Columbia, Cornell and Emory trade on Vietnam Era protests to market themselves to student activists. Protest is part of their brand and sales pitch. Now they're punishing students for taking them at their word. 🧵

Students at the University of Manchester just launch the Camp of Resistance for Palestine at Brunswick Park, demanding an end to partnerships with BAE systems, university’s ties with Israel, an end to unethical research, and protection for student protestors
