It’s not law’s repressive face that’s the issue here but that of academia (& its cravenness)! Using generalities like “recent events” without a single mention of Yale? Not even a call to investigate the termination of Dr. Doutaghi or how you are planning to support her through this!

In solidarity with Prof. Franke. Day of disgrace for all academia. LAW schools might as well shut down if condemning & fighting against occupation & genocide is to be censored.

Here is a statement by my colleague Katherine Franke about the end of her time teaching at Columbia. Please read it. drive.google.com/file/d/1i4cO...

I’m genuinely at a loss for words - Katherine Franke is as brilliant as she is principled and her being forced out of a tenured position for her position on Gaza and student protests feels like a gut punch to whatever remains of academic freedom in the US.

“If I get killed, don’t wear black; my heart is red, not black. Wear rainbow or pink instead.” Israel wiped out Fatima and her entire family in Beirut, dropping bunker buster bombs on their home as they slept. #JusticeForFatima

Today marks 300 days since Israeli forces killed 6-year-old Hind Rajab, her family members, and the medics sent to save her in Gaza. For months, I have pressed the US government again and again on the killing. How they’ve responded is shocking. Watch all 300 days here: zeteo.com/p/300-days-a...

Anti-genocide protestors have laid waste to Montreal. I toured the wreckage today: potholes everywhere, McGill's campus walk ripped up, sinister-looking construction workers playing Uno nearby, & worst of all French citizens running amok calling chocolatines "pains au chocolat."

Please donate and share this fundraiser in support of a comrade in Canada who was arrested recently and had their apartment raided for organizing for Falastin. They will remain anonymous but they need funds to move and cover legal fees. gofund.me/ee220c7b

CSIS “objective was to keep [Canadian] Abdelrazik detained [and tortured] in Sudan” as it “felt he was a terrorist.” in 2007, the RCMP confirmed that it had no "substantive information" that he was involved in any criminal activity. Gross Islamophobic Charter violation. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

“The complete dismissal of entire populations as sub-human, or not equivalent to European or Euro-American bodies, is a stark reminder that the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade and colonial genocide of indigenous populations by Western empires have never left us.“

We are a group of autonomous writers, artists, educators and translators coming together to offer online courses and workshops to raise money for people in Gaza 🥀🥀🥀

Reasons why our struggles in Latin America are deeply entangled with Palestine's liberation/decolonization. Israel’s role in Indigenous/campesino genocide in Guatemala —technologies of violence imported from Israel are still used to repress the movements in Guatemala.🧵1/

Keep it going. Let’s see how much reach this place has.

Must read interview of Rashid Khalidi by Tariq Ali- two intellectual powerhouses. newleftreview.org/issues/ii147... Great title too. When asked why don’t you “just talk (with Israel)”. Ghassan Kanafani answered “That is [a] kind of a conversation between the sword and the neck"

"The South African Church taught us the concept of state theology defined as the theological justification of the status quo with its racism, capitalism and totalitarianism. Theology of empire is disguise for superiority, supremacy, “chosenness”, and entitlement." www.facebook.com/christmaslut...

"Gaza is now a different colour from space" apnews.com/article/isra...

❤️❤️❤️ The Onion: "According to witnesses, South African–born Musk immediately dropped to his knees after stepping on Israeli soil, overwhelmed with joy to be back in a state segregated by race and religion."

Honored to write the Rolling Stone obituary for the worst American of the post-World War II era. Rot in piss

Israel’s bombing of universities and libraries is a “calculated, and often vindictive, destruction of a people’s culture, language, history, and shared sites of community…to erase all evidence of Palestinian life, Palestinian humanity, from Gaza.” lithub.com/gazas-main-p...

Who else had no fucking clue that the KKK is considered a tax-exempt religious organization instead of a terrorist organization archive.ph/wUICX (free link to article)

ICYMI: All the Palestinian speculative you can eat. Fantasy, Sci-fi, futurism, dystopias, fabulism, horror. All lengths and shapes, with links to where to find the good stuff. Curated and kept up to date by me. soniasulaiman.com/readpalestin...

You’re supposed to be polite in your suffering. & I completely refuse this. I refuse these politics of appeal. We are human not just because we cry when we lose our mothers, or our homes, or we have pets or hobbies. We are humans because we feel rage & disdain—because we resist” t.co/cOMiRdoIjo

Precisely how many more people will lose work by standing AGAINST genocide???

This and the Houthi arrest of the NYK vehicle carrier are interesting because Iran and Yemen are targeting not the shipping company (NYK/CMA CGM), but the actual owners of the vessel, in this case Eastern Pacific Shipping, which is HQed in Singapore but owned by Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer. 1/

As Iranians often joke: "We have freedom of speech; but we don't have freedom AFTER speech."

Absolutely outrageous disgusting police behaviour against peace activists.

Let me get this straight: the Toronto police spent $1 million dollars to dispatch several officers on early morning raids to arrest...peace activists? Who put up protest posters & washable red paint? Does this city not have other spending priorities?

"Many academics write on decolonizing curriculums and epistemologies but hardly engage with actual forms of undoing injustice. Do we stand against settler colonialism only when it has already succeeded and when reversing colonization is deemed impossible?" mondoweiss.net/2023/10/deco...

Apropos of Bolivia breaking diplomatic ties with Israel the biggest newspaper in the country is also saying Bolivia is planning to send humanitarian aid directly. This may be the path forward for given the US’ unconscionable paralyzing of the UN eldeber.com.bo/pais/bolivia...

Superb article: “Clinics often serve to appease and deflect opposition to the ways that law schools reproduce hierarchy. To truly live up to their radical origins, clinics must be re-politicized ……..” t.co/B2XTZhGT3c

THIS is Modi’s India. We have a moral obligation to stand up against it and a right to do so (in Canada at least) without being labelled Hinduphobe or Khalistani and dehumanizing slurs.

I gazed into the abyss and it was way overrated. I don't really see what the big deal is.
