🚨🏺🩸Look: In addition to being actively complicit with Israel's apartheid & genocide in Palestine, @asor-research.bsky.social is now touring occupied Cyprus AND posting about it on their socials. Yet another reason to abide by @archagainstaparth.bsky.social 's call to boycott them

More disgusting complicity by Zionist ASOR, w receipts spanning from the 1940s to last week's Zionist conference on "Judea & Samaria" ( = occupied West Bank). Thanks, @archagainstaparth.bsky.social for yet another well researched, & ethically solid, essay #boycottasor 🔗 tinyurl.com/3p2mxjt5

What a terrifying article ‘Already data centres are using 22 per cent of all electricity in the country – the highest proportion in the world. That figure is set to grow to more than 30 per cent in the next five years.’ This is all with next to 0 consultation with the people of Ireland…

Almost a decade ago, I was very Special Interested in mushrooms and developed an organizing training framework based on mycelium. The core teaching was, people think the above-ground part (the mushroom) is the body of the organism, but that isn't the case. So too with movement. (cont)

Of the " thousands of pages" of academic work the author fed into LLMs for translation -- how many do we think were copyrighted? How many authors have now had their work stolen and used to these systems?

It's heartbreaking and enraging that this was written almost two years ago, and since then, the genocidal violence has not only been allowed to continue in Palestine, but also to expand into Syria, Lebanon, and Iran, with global impacts #EOPalestine

Just published over at Everyday Orientalism @isisnaucratis.bsky.social This one connects the dots between everything we’ve talked about in our Nakba series so far. And more. #nakba #archaeology #biblicalarchaeology

🚨 Biblical archaeologists' study of an ancient children mass grave in the ethnically cleansed village of Zakariyya enables the Nakba through the same dehumanizing tropes as the 2023 burnt babies hoax - MUST READ by @archagainstaparth.bsky.social everydayorientalism.wordpress.com/2026/05/26/a...

This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.

Cool. Cool cool cool cool cool.

Interesting to see (+ have confirmed) that at the same time editors are resigning from @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social due to the org’s support for israeli war & heritage crimes, the same thing is happening at @asor-research.bsky.social Solidarity with our colleagues who have a conscience! 🇵🇸

FLAG: The Trump Justice Department is now acknowledging it has removed from its website news releases about criminal cases related to the Jan. 6 insurrection — calling the information about the prosecutions "partisan propaganda" (it is not).

✌🏽

I’ve said it before and will say it a few more times. When Trump 2.0 came for accreditation I knew we had crossed into a different era of white reclamation. Precise, focused, stealth. Anyway, you probably don’t want these reforms.

I’m stealing this line for everything. Dear students: “AI is like a lamp post to a drunk person. You can lean on them, but it won’t get you home.”

Canadian members of @freedomflotilla.bsky.social are free but Canada still has to: 1. Sanction Israel 2. Enact an arms embargo 3. Demand the end of the siege on Gaza 4. Call for the release of the 10,000 Palestinian hostages 5. Condemn the attacks and abduction of Canadians in international waters

This passed the house today, so now is the time to call our senators (and yell at our house reps if they voted for it) This bullshit bill is an assault on trans people and on every kid’s right to read and see the world as it exists. Reps.fyi

Paging @mark-carney.bsky.social : Are you condoning this treatment of Canadian citizens by the pirat state who kidnapped them on international waters? bsky.app/profile/isis...

Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund just got its first applicant: Ex-Trump admin official Michael Caputo is requesting $2.7 million — claiming he was the target of "political weaponization" after the Justice Department investigated his potential Russia ties.

BREAKING: Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'. They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that Treasury has made to DOJ to implement it.

Israel expels Palestinians based on archaeology claims, building rules : NPR www.npr.org/transcripts/...

Absolutely horrendous. Textbook example of archaeology being used to enact state violence.

#2 in our Nakba x Archaeology series covers the stories of 2 Palestinian archaeologists whose lives & careers were irreversibly impacted by the ‘48 Nakba: Dimitri Baramki, and Yusra Al-Haifawiyah. The full 11 slide posts are available in 9 languages at the linktree in our bio #nakba #archaeology

This executive summary on AI and higher ed does not name the way that AI powers genocide in Palestine and elsewhere, is a tool of white supremacy, or even name that scientific research at universities play a key function in the development of what are weapons of war, surveillance, and ecocide. Why?

Almost 200 former senior Canadian diplomats are calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to impose "robust" sanctions on Israel over deteriorating conditions in the Palestinian territories and Lebanon.

The fact that we now have a Cambridge Companion on this topic is definitive evidence that the study of race in antiquity is **mainstream.** These 24 contributions are supportive and generative offerings for the certain futurity of this work.

After Israel began expunging humanitarian organizations in Gaza for failing to comply with new rules, a Doctors Without Borders team was left scrambling to establish a permanent clinic. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/huUHZP

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").
