““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

THEY WROTE NUMBERS ON THEIR WRISTS I can’t see straight. Obviously there is so much wrong happening here, but this detail is fucking chilling. These are human beings.

I believe this to my core. They're using trans people as a test case to dismantle individual rights in the US.

JUST IN: An independent United Nations inquiry has concluded for the first time that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and that the country’s top leaders have incited genocide, in what it described as “the “most authoritative UN finding to date.” https://cnn.it/3VjaHzS

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

“… They went after Musk’s cars …” As the right-wing pundits start wringing their hands and stoking outrage over Kirk’s death, it’s worth noticing how they hold the life of one of “their own” as equal in value to the price tag of a Cybertruck

We conceptualize borders as a space outside of law, where we can use extreme forms of policing (warrantless searches & now execution). But these acts do not protect us; they endanger us by creating a vast, unregulated police state. What happens at the border will eventually happen everywhere.

Gavin Newsom has the exact vibe of a Weyland-Yutani executive who watches in glee as a xenomorph eats you

What the fu**ing shit, nyt!?!?!?! Just within 24 hours after five of al-jazeers journalists were killed, nyt published this. Who wrote it? An israeli writer. The blood of the journalists is still fresh in the journalists’ graves. Blood is on nyt hands.

Thank you to @monachalabi.bsky.social for this powerful graphic, which starkly pictures the severity of the Israeli government’s policy of mass death through forced starvation.

Whelp, they were only a couple years off…

all this talk of Columbia’s admissions procedures reminds me that a member of the NYPD’s notorious SRG put a bullet in a wall of our admissions office about 14 months ago

Columbia functionally returning to its original name King’s College

BREAKING: "A senior ICE official testified that the agency assembled a team in early 2025 to investigate student protestors. The team — referred to internally as the “Tiger Team” — rapidly compiled over 100 reports based on a list of 5,000 people identified on the Canary Mission website."

GSOC-UAW Local 7902 will be hosting a screening of the documentary UNION at the Anthology Film Archives, on July 14th! We’re raising funds for the GSOC Hardship Fund, offering support to NYU graduate student workers facing hardship:

This was twenty months ago. Israeli forces have killed more than 14,186 kids since.

New York City had free college tuition at all CUNY schools for 130 years

"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"

This.. doesn't even make sense. What is the purpose of a citation and how is citing AI meaningful?

They were wrong in 2003 and they're wrong now.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo. We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social

I don’t want to colonize the galaxy. I want to hold my loved ones close, to care for my neighbors and siblings of conscience, to go through the difficult work of finding the miraculous in the present

Here is the grad speech that NYU is now withholding the student's diploma for: "As I search my heart today in addressing you all…the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine."

Today, our client Rümeysa Öztürk was released on bail from ICE detention in Louisiana, and she will return to New England to continue her studies. 📸 Giancarlo D’Agostaro

Just a few days after Columbia announces the Pulitzers, the university goes and suspends its own student journalists.

Tomorrow April 21 3:30-4:30pm EST, Alissa Walter discuss her new "Contested City," published by @stanfordpress.bsky.social. Free but registration required. @rosscaputi.bsky.social of "Archive Iraq" & @cohntexts.bsky.social of "NYU Cultures of War" are main organizers. www.umass.edu/humanities-a...

TOMORROW! 4/17, 4pm @ Foley Square. Organized by an enormous coalition of unions and aaup chapters across the nyc area. This is just the beginning!

In case there was any doubt that Trump will try to put History Departments into "receivership" next. "Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order restoring truth and sanity to American history." www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

A stunning assault on the First Amendment Before Rubio's confirmation, senators and pundits acted as though he was a "sane," "rational," "normal," "moderate" nominee. He's constantly showing himself to be a right-wing extremist.

The Mayor of Somerville, MA (where this took place) says that the mostly masked ICE agents misidentified themselves as "police" even though they had no connection with either Somerville or Tufts police. whdh.com/news/video-r...

IfNotNow Boston calls for the immediate release of Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk. It is time for our elected leaders in Massachusetts to match their words with action and #ProtectUsAll.

ICE just literally abducted Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts international student from Turkey who was part of a group that wrote an op-ed urging Tufts to come out against genocide of Palestinians. They snatched her off the street in plain daylight, dressed in all black. youtu.be/PuFIs7OkzYY

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

27 pages. Of babies. Whose entire understanding of what Earth sounded like was bombs dropping & people screaming at the sky

"According to an internal email obtained by Spectator, Public Safety officers invited NYPD onto campus Thursday without giving notice to library leadership, violating an agreement library staff made with Public Safety last spring." www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2025/03...

NEW: Family of Mahmoud Khalil just released footage of his arrest “Stop resisting” “He’s not resisting” Agents seen continuing to ignore Mahmoud’s wife as she asks basic questions

Columbia university expels UAW 2710 president without evidence, one day before contract negotiations over international student protections begin. This is a transparent attempt to break the Union and appease the Trump administration. Statement: docs.google.com/document/d/e...

Grant Miner, expelled from Columbia for his organizing & advocacy of human rights in Palestine, is a medievalist & an intellectual evidently concerned to understand the history of the present. In addition to political suppression, this is a concerted war against all thought

This is an outrageous assault on academic freedom, student and faculty safety, free inquiry and thought, area studies, shared governance….you name it. Columbia’s capitulation (starting with student expulsions today)will go down in history as a catalyst to authoritarianism.

This is exactly what folks have been warning about for well over a year: explicit fascism, working its way into U.S. universities. The struggle for Palestinian liberation is also a struggle for truth, a struggle for scholarly autonomy.

Chuck Schumer retire bitch

SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him. He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving. He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the Trump Administration disappeared Mahmoud Khalil in order to capitalize on the liberal/left split on Gaza. You either step up to defend people and protect rights or you don’t. This is another crossroads and I pray people see it for what it is.

This is not about fighting antisemitism. This is all about silencing opposing views. Today it’s pro-Palestine, tomorrow it’s pro-Ukraine, and then it’s just deporting whomever they don’t like. And then everyone is silent.

So ICE has effectively disappeared a student for protesting Israel's genocide, separating him from his 8 month pregnant wife. Pure fascism
