Grateful for the chance to be in dialogue on this topic!

Breaking: NBC reports that satellite images show troop movements and formations indicating a possible imminent major ground operation in Gaza. The network says it is unclear whether Israel intends to launch a new offensive or if the maneuvers are meant as a negotiating or pressure tactic.

SCOOP — The US sent Iraqi refugee Omar Ameen to Rwanda via new diplomatic relationship in which they've agreed to act as a "third country" for deportees unable to be safely returned to their country of origin, per cables reviewed by me. This is first reported instance. Cable indicates more to come.

NEW — Emails show Mohsen Mahdawi pleading for months to Columbia for help. He asked about an FBI visit to his home & a mysterious break-in. He also asked Columbia to publicly clarify a lie the Trump admin would later cite to justify detaining Mohsen. No response. He was detained a month later.

"The consequences for Sudan’s 51 million people have been devastating. Tens of thousands are reportedly dead. Hundreds of thousands face famine. Almost 13 million people have been displaced, 4 million of those to neighbouring countries."

Looking forward to this event @LSE on Thursday!

For @truthout.org I wrote about Mahmoud Khalil’s detention, how Trump is capitalizing on the normalization of incarcerating immigrants to enforce his creeping fascist agenda, and why this moment calls for us to bridge across our movements for social change. truthout.org/articles/kha...

Excellent piece by two dear friends @nanaoseiopare.bsky.social & @themorningsnows.bsky.social about the cyber truck & its uncanny similarities to the Casspir, the tank by which the Apartheid regime brutalized Black south Africans during Elon's childhood. 1/ slate.com/news-and-pol...

"writing heartbroken"

I’m told this is a real letter. It basically says, “We’ll destroy Columbia unless you destroy it first.”

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."

25 hours after Mahmoud Khalil was detained in a Columbia-owned apartment building — Khalil’s whereabouts are still unknown & Columbia has still not commented

Speak out. Organize. Across all the silos. They are testing to see what they can get away with.

A group of prominent military contractors, including former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince, has pitched the Trump White House on a proposal to carry out mass deportations through a network of “processing camps” on military bases and a “small army” of private citizens empowered to make arrests.

Grateful to @faisalahali.bsky.social for the invitation to engage his insightful questions about my book!

A few months ago some comrades and I put out a piece on Sudan’s counterrevolutionary war for which we interview 4 Sudanese and South Sudanese activists in Sudan/the region. We wanted to center the non-elitist, revolutionary voices of ppl who hve bn organizing agst the Sudanese state for decades.

My Latest: A review of Refaat Alareer’s book ‘If I must die’ The book pays tribute to a literary icon who looked to elevate the power of storytelling as a means to engineer a vision of Palestinian liberation www.middleeasteye.net/discover/ref...

🚨 Israeli tanks have entered the Syrian town of Quneitra, near the occupied Golan, from the demilitarized zone, accompanied by shelling of nearby areas. This follows increased IOF deployment in the Golan yesterday, and the fall of Bashar Al-Assad’s regime today.

Bashar al-Assad’s biggest mistake? Not going on Joe Rogan.

The repeal of the 2015 anti-smuggling law was one of the more interesting things the military government in Niamey has done. This piece suggests that this may have made migrants safer by bringing transport activities back into the open.

Chad has said it is ending its defence cooperation agreement with former colonial power France, a move that will require French soldiers to leave the Central African country. 🔗: aje.io/wdtwyu

@ABC: At least 75 people were killed in two air strikes in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, according to Gaza’s civil defense.

Just a reminder that Amazon workers are striking tomorrow through Monday, and that none of the “deals” are good enough to justify crossing the picket line.

Smoke and devastation after an Israeli strike hit a residential building in central Beirut early this morning, damaging buildings and houses all around. At least 11 people dead, relatives awaiting news of many more.

Ending day 1 of #AAA2024 on a super high note, with a visit from Samar Al-Bulushi, author of War-Making as Worldmaking: Kenya, the United States, and the War on Terror.

Human rights groups demand action on enforced disappearances in Garissa eastleighvoice.co.ke/northern-ken...

Have not seen much on here on Sudan, so I'm amplifying this horrific report that shows the number who are killed is higher than previously estimated. Adding here other writing to read to understand this war that has displaced over 11 million people; the highest displacement crisis globally. 🧵

I contributed to this collection on Palestine. It feels ridiculous to post about it, because the scale of the horror is unreal. But it speaks to protest and engagement on campuses and call on us to do more. www.americananthropologist.org/online-conte...

Huh i guess it’s an existential threat to democracy to purge humanities and police thought on university campuses— but only in Russia

Ahmed Ibrahim and I wrote about the recently announced plan for the US to build as many as FIVE new military bases in Somalia. responsiblestatecraft.org/us-base-soma...

Incredible piece: "We do not protest the war on Gaza because we have an abstract right to do so; we protest it because it is one of the great moral atrocities of our lifetimes and because the widespread refusal to admit this in America is an atrocity in its own right." nymag.com/intelligence...
