International human rights scholars discuss Israel’s violations of international law, the complicity of the US, the responsibility of states to immediately halt their direct and indirect support for the genocide. International civil society must protect the rights and lives of Palestinians.

No but seriously where are the hundreds people that disappeared from the monstrosity of the so called “Alligator Alcatraz”? Why aren’t people talking about it? I can find very little and it’s from weeks ago! Are we at the disappearing phase of this horror?! www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

An old white lady on the UWS was walking around with a pin that said “is it fascism yet?”

Recognizing Palestine. Recognizing genocide in Palestine. Ok, so are you going to stop it? Are you going to intervene? To withdraw your material support at the very least? Otherwise it’s just words.

Columbia and NYU need to hand over that property tax!

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

All about federal contracts that he’s giving out to the world’s most horrific companies like candy. This is the piece of shit who innovated family separation as an “immigration deterrent.” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Hakeem Jeffries supporting Charlie Kirk before endorsing Zohran Mamdani is really fucking nasty.

Student walked in crying - a man swung at her in the subway spewing hate. She wears a hijab. Class gathered around her. A student stepped out, I thought to take a call, but she returned with a gift of boba tea. I am filled with sadness & fear & love for these students. @CUNY proud.

Since the beginning of the war, we lost our home, and with every escalation by the occupation, our displacement and suffering grow. My family lives in tents with no safety — the photos show our hunger, cold, and fear We need your help🥺🙏 🔗 Link GFM gofund.me/81080627 @mommunism.bsky.social

One time I heard Ruth Wilson Gilmore make the point that “racial capitalism” is redundant as all capitalism is racial & never has that been clearer than watching all these tech moguls & university presidents & media conglomerates & journalists fall over themselves to promote white nationalism.

I call this piece the “Hypocrisy of Rosenbury: A story of American Fascism”

I just...Barnard was one of THE MOST REPRESSIVE colleges in the country toward their pro-Palestine students. The gall of this woman.

Kimmel was fired for criticizing the president. That milk toast white man said nothing about Charlie Kirk. This is just authoritarianism 101. I've lived it. I know. Wake the fuck up America.

TFW you watch Anthony Lowenstein's documentary about the Palestine Laboratory (excellent), which has scenes on EU border zones' use of Israeli tech only to first see your dear friend @petramolnar.com sharing her brilliance (go buy "The Walls Have Eyes" and then.. yourself!

Thanks again to @hebagowayed.bsky.social @molly-fee.bsky.social Rawan and Blair for steering the ship that got this special issue of @ersjournal.com on "Resettlement as an Institution" out. Happy to share copies of Patti and my article with anyone interested! www.tandfonline.com/toc/rers20/4...

Looking forward to this event!

The stadium Trump is in is named after Arthur Ashe, the tennis legend. What many people today probably don't know is that Ashe was literally arrested in front of the White House in 1992 for protesting the George H.W. Bush administration's treatment of Haitian refugees. www.upi.com/Archives/199...

Friends I’m running a 5K in Brooklyn on October 12 as a fundraiser for Gaza & UNRWA. If you can, join us or donate here! getinvolved.unrwausa.org/fundraiser/6...

I can't take any "fascism experts" seriously who spent the past 2 decades ragging on abolitionists who said plainly that fascism was both already embedded in the criminal punishment system AND that criminalization is the fuel for fascism.

Lord save us: "Paramount is on the verge of acquiring Bari Weiss’s The Free Press and tossing her the keys to CBS News. The deal is on the 1-yard line, I’m told."

New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. 😭

No return to the bipartisan myth of “due process”. Instead, an end to deportation and detention and wholesale freedom of movement.

Israel is now denying US senators (aka their patrons) from even seeing what they have done to Gaza. But the genocide is made up.

The only honorable way forward is mass amnesty. Especially for the victims of expulsions and those in DACA limbo. Then a very short review period with an attorney-advocate & an official to determine how they can fast track citizenship or green card.

"If immigration has been the mechanism for diversifying the nation, deportation is the mechanism for its whitening." Fantastic piece that exposes the many illusions of "due process," and the complicity of Obama and Biden in laying the groundwork for this current deportation machine.

Thank you! For the 1st time, many in the US who have not been subject to the injustices of our status quo system have glimpsed them. They are beginning to wonder if that system might come for them. It very well may come for new groups & in a way that makes membership in a “safe” group unstable.

Please read this piece. It's very informative and discusses the injustices part of the American immigration system. Both due process and respect towards the rights, the very *humanity* of immigrants is necessary.

Please help out Hana if you can! The horrors folks have endured are unfathomable!

I have long ranted re how problematic it is when well-meaning folks in Trump 2 era advocate for a return to "due process" for immigrants when the status quo of the legal system has LONG denied them any semblance of it. My latest in New Global Politics: www.newglobalpolitics.org/immigrants-i...

In case you've been wondering about the moral and intellectual crisis in Holocaust studies, here's exhibit A. It also illustrates why we felt the need to found the Genocide and Holocaust Studies Crisis Network: www.ghscn.org/home

𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐩'𝐬 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚 Three weeks before Trump's inauguration, I began building a comprehensive archive of independent journalism on state violence in Trump's America—an abolitionist educational resource designed to counteract state propaganda. Here's a navigation guide. 1/15 🧵

Here is Jamal from Gaza whose family lost everything and he is trying with all his might to rebuild their lives and help them with the crazy costs in Gaza and travel outside Gaza when the crossings open. I hope you support us. Your little support, even if it is $5 chuffed.org/project/1389...

Amplifying this! This campaign for a Palestinian student from Gaza has reached half its goal!

Heba Gowayed surveys the many challenges facing #Syrians who return home after the collapse of the #Assad regime. @hebagowayed.bsky.social arabcenterdc.org/resource/ref...

Just repost to help us in Gaza to face these difficult circumstances, sometimes I really wonder if reposting takes time from you or effort from some people just make my voice reach everyone please

A reminder to keep supporting Hanaa and others. The situation is more dire than ever.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends. But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month. See you soon, NYC.

DHS team seeking student protesters to target was directed to scrutinize 5,000 people on Canary Mission – testimony of senior ICE official.

So, an ICE rep has now explicitly testified in court that they assembled a "Tiger Team" in early 2025 to compile a list of student protesters on the *Canary Mission* website to target for deportation. I guarantee Canary Mission is also the reason I was denied entry to the US.

If @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social and I did an op ed workshop for academics, with funds raised going to Gaza and immigrant families would yall be interested?
