Really necessary set of essay about this moment: www.jadaliyya.com/Details/47192

Apparently negotiating with Israel and Trump is a good way to get blown up-- Israeli military says it attacked Hamas leaders in Qatar’s Doha

Truly remarkable article. May this grief be eased. www.972mag.com/gaza-men-mas...

You Gov numbers: "Only 16% of Americans think the U.S. military should get involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran; 60% say it should not and 24% are not sure" It's going to change quickly, but let's at least remember where we started. today.yougov.com/politics/art...

What kind of statement is this from Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee?? Why put anything out at all? The biggest gripe seems to be that they don’t get cool briefings anymore

OUT NOW: Middle East Report 314, "New Gender Frontlines" Our Spring Issue delves into the gender dynamics of the political forces shaping the Middle East in our present -- from Women, Life, Freedom to revolutionary Syria and the genocide in Gaza. Read, Teach, Share! buff.ly/XB8cxtW

Many important points here, like why this is not a preemptive strike and how this fits into Israel's larger goals of remaking the Middle East with force. abuaardvarkghost.ghost.io/why-did-isra...

Community health work can be transformative even in the midst of active and ongoing dispossession -- a great blog post about 1for3's work in Tulkarem. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/ma...

Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me. His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard. This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.

Important article for all in education and beyond! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Friends! Please support fiercely independent Palestinian data in this campaign for Badil's irreplaceable and unparalleled research on Palestinian refugees and displaced people. badil.org/press-releas...

Yes -- as reported elsewhere, Harvard is fighting Trump and agreeing with him also.

stunning and deplorable reports that the US wants to deport migrants to Libya, with no apparent concern for where they came from.

We are humbled by the dozens of activists, scholars, leaders, dissenters, and truth-tellers who joined us at the JVP National Member Meeting in Baltimore this past weekend.

“‘Never Again is now’ as JVP activists have chanted throughout this genocide. We must ask ourselves: Who is grievable, who’s ungrievable? Who’s countable, who is uncountable — and who is accountable? Palestinians are not begging the world for charity. We’re calling for meaningful solidarity…"

Sudan: In Zamzam Camp, North Darfur, communal kitchens have been burnt down, and parts of the camp are in ashes. About 80% of the population have fled, many on foot. Many of those fleeing have subsequently been attacked along the way. 1/3

“She suffered very severe asthma attacks while there, received inadequate medical care. There has been no religious accommodation...Her hijab was removed without her consent" - @pressley.house.gov tells me about her visit to detained student Rümeysa Öztürk.

If, as President Garber wrote, “the fearless and unfettered pursuit of truth liberates humanity,” then he – and all of us – must demand that liberation without exceptions, caveats, or fear. For every single one of us. My latest oped on @aljazeera.com www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Only 1 in 10 people have access to clean water in Gaza today. www.972mag.com/gaza-water-c...

Gaza's universities sheltering those displaced 8 and more times... books being used as fuel. This is the current stage of scholasticide. www.972mag.com/islamic-univ...

Israeli War Crimes in Gaza Continue: Bombardment, Water Deprivation, Burning People Alive in Tents

Honored to win the Carnegie Fellowship for my project that centers the costs of borders here, in Palestine, & elsewhere & argues that their violence not only dehumanizes those who move against them but erodes the rights of all within the nation that built them 1/ www.carnegie.org/awards/honor...

Autocrats always try to dismantle universities and other sites of free thought. But the current effort to destroy American institutions is also a reactionary backlash against real progress on racial justice in this country. Backlash only happens when movements are winning the argument.

What Americans can learn from Salvadorans about the fight against fascism, spiritually, politically, tactically. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Congressmember @beccabalintvt.bsky.social demands the release of Mohsen Mahdawi, the Columbia University student arrested by ICE this week. “He is being attacked because of free speech. This should terrify every single person living in this country, regardless of your citizenship status.”

An important story by a student journalist emphasizing how before Harvard took the public stance for academic freedom this week, it had already repressed academic freedom on campus, especially regarding Palestine. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

People somehow put their lives in the hands of this government, in the processes it offers, knowing all the contradictions involved, and this is the snare they encounter. theintercept.com/2025/04/14/i...

Hands off our students & colleagues indeed! Mohsen, Rümeysa, Mahmoud, Badr and all of the others deserve dignity, safety, and freedom. theintercept.com/2025/04/14/i...

Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont was illegally detained by ICE during what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process. Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the US, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention.

Stunned and outraged to see that the US administration is using El Salvador's autocratic leader Bukele to ignore US court rulings that require that the return of Maryland resident Kilmar Ábrego García to his home. Truly a network of unjust and violent imprisonment. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Harvard may be claiming a high ground on free speech, but it has cut crucial programming that serves its academic community & beyond, & is not renewing long-time & treasured Palestinian staff members. It severed ties with Bir Zeit University & dismissed MES leaders. religionnews.com/2025/04/03/h...

Palestinian Student Leader Was Called In for Citizenship Interview — Then Arrested by ICE theintercept.com/2025/04/14/i...

Grateful for student journalism and grateful also that a bunch of local leaders were at the protest yesterday. www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2025...

A Casablanca Court sentenced prominent activist Fouad Abdelmoumni to six months in prison and fines over a Facebook post. Moroccan authorities should urgently end their intensifying repression of activists and others. Read more from HRW and @dawnmenaorg.bsky.social:

Another person labelled a terrorist for his personal expression.

www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/26/m... Tufts PhD student detained apparently for supporting a divestment vote (which our university ignored) based on Canary Mission doxxing.

I cannot believe that Canary Mission is now setting our immigration agenda based on students' beliefs and civic actions, but I guess I should have seen this coming: Israel's use of Canary Mission at border control, discussed in my new open-access article: utppublishing.com/doi/full/10....

"Smotrich told a meeting in the Knesset earlier this month that “if we remove 5,000 [Palestinians] a day, it will take a year [to expel them all],” adding that budget will not be an issue." www.972mag.com/israel-trump...

Israel continues its killing of Palestinian journalists, including 5 journalists killed on December 26, as part of its decades of attacks on Palestinian expression. Read our forum with Palestinian journalists on their determination to continue their work. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Now Amnesty calling it a Genocide. Israel's government and state officials responsible for the crime of genocide must be held accountable.

Please remove all paywalls related to Sudan right now. This is one way to combat the lack of coverage and accurate analysis around what is happening right now.

This was the first and only tweet I posted since joining this platform. Looking at it now takes me back to a horrifying time of immense loss—but also to a time before we lost even more: more friends, mentors, loved ones, memories, places. I can’t believe it’s been over a year of this.

Saturday, a reading of my first favorite Palestinian children's book, Sitti's Secrets. Feeling grateful for this foundational and beautiful work <3 <3
