New documents looking at British and American involvement in overthrowing Kwame Nkrumah give us pause to reflect on his legacy, and its resonances today. Anakwa Dwamena interviews Yao Graham for AIAC. africasacountry.com/2024/04/kwame-…

My husband, Prof. Steve Tamari, is out of the hospital. He will need surgery on his hand, and he is in pain from nine broken ribs. We are asking for time to rest and heal. We will not be taking media interviews at this time. Here is Steve's statement and ways you can support.

By declaring that “intifada” (the Arabic word for “shaking off,” which has primarily been used to describe nonviolent civil resistance campaigns against repression, such as during the Arab Spring) is hate speech, Biden gives universities an excuse for suppress peaceful protests.

Interesting how the police look very much like those who violently attacked the encampment the previous night while these uniformed 'officials' stood back and stood by.

Israeli police arrested the internationally renowned feminist Palestinian academic Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian at her home in Jerusalem on Thursday.

This is my 15th year as a college professor. I’m not naive to or surprised by any of its agendas or devices yet, thanks to the “leadership” of my university, this has been the most repulsive and devastating two weeks of my entire career. I won’t recover. Neither will they.

Water is being denied to US students on a US university campus just like water is denied to communities in Palestine.

This is so dishonest. It was 100% Zionist “protesters” who were harassing and assaulting the encampment with bear mace, fireworks, and projectiles. THOSE are the “outside agitators.”

just got out of jail again after being arrested 12 hours ago, this time for protesting outside the gates of my own campus. i was thrown onto the ground and pinned down by 6-7 cops after having my phone knocked out of my hand because the cop got mad i was livestreaming it.

The courage of students, faculty and staff occupying universities in support of #FreePalestine cannot be overstated, except in comparison to those standing up for justice and liberation in Gaza and the West Bank. The IOF, NYPD and white supremacists are the same people.

I have been at Palestinian protest encampments in the West Bank that were attacked by settler mobs as soldiers watched (and then joined in) so what’s happening at UCLA is all kinda familiar.

as protesters across the country shine a spotlight on universities’ financial relationship w Israel, the govt will for the first time tomorrow focus on another big academic funder: oil and gas companies. i dug through a bunch of new docs for Drilled: drilled.media/news/hearingdo…

Thinking so much about all the academics who claim to be scholar-activists but are completely silent and therefore complicit in what’s happening in higher education right now. At what point does it become fraud? You teach it, but don’t live it? Where they do that at?
