Accusations suggest Meta, via WhatsApp, may share user group metadata, potentially aiding Israeli military targeting in Gaza.
Despite WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption claim, concerns about…

A group of students from my Critical Race Theory class did a wonderful case study focused on Grassroots International and land grabs. Applying CRT to contemporary issues of the day, and hearing their group presentations have been so energizing.

Agree. We must view the USC and Berkeley incidents as related part of gendered Islamophobia.

We are in a time where Muslimahs, especially hijabi sisters, are being assaulted, discriminated & they are courageously speaking up. We must stand in support despite the powers that seek to silence. #courage

There are people I have the privilege to meet & know in my life. I am so enriched. I learned of Adama's story (nytimes.com/2006/10/26/nyr…) and despite hardships she has emerged as a fearless immigrant rights leader. Here testifying on discrimination against

#ThrowbackThursday All my photos of my wonderful time in Spain as a Fulbright Scholar is coming up. I miss my time and friends I made.

Baldwin's words gives us life.

Asna Tabassum is so poised, and firm in the face of bigotry. Inspired by her commitment to human rights. Unafraid to stand in support of Palestine. #courage

These five min of questioning of Columbia admin by Rep. Ilhan Omar brilliantly flipped the script on an otherwise deeply bleak & Orwellian GOP-led show trial — which was not aimed at protecting Jews but on ramping up repression of campus activism & attacking academic freedom.

Israel occupies everything from the Jordan to the Mediterranean. They’re committing genocide in Gaza, seizing land & terrorizing West Bank Palestinians, & subjecting its Arab citizens to discrimination. So when we say “from the river to the sea…” we mean stop this oppression 1/5

Attempts by Congress to label chants for Palestinian freedom such as “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” as a call for genocide are false and distract from an actual ongoing genocide in Gaza that has resulted in the death of over 33,000 Palestinians.

“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
Protesters at Columbia University in New York, USA, chant in support of Palestine at a Gaza solidarity encampment.

'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' is not antisemitic. Noura Erakat provides context:

🚨ALL OUT TO COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY RIGHT NOW🚨

NYPD has been overheard saying they are waiting for our protest outside the gates to disperse in order to go into the encampment and arrest student protestors! All out to 116th & Broadway and stay as long as possible‼️🇵🇸

It’s quite indescribable the sheer number of folks that turned out. So grateful to be a part of this community. Every time Columbia has threatened us, the picket line has gotten larger. Maybe it’s time for a new strategy, the students have made it clear that we won’t back down.

HAPPENING NOW: Columbia students have formed a human chain around the Palestine solidarity encampment at Columbia University
