NYC! Get your tix to THE ENCAMPMENTS – released early to meet, as Watermelon Pictures wrote, the "urgent need to challenge the misinformation surrounding Mahmoud [Khalil], the student movement, and all who feel the moral duty to stand against genocide." angelikafilmcenter.com/nyc/movies/d...

Hey, hey, MAA, how many Gazans did you kill today? An autonomous group disrupted the Medieval Academy of America's conference at Harvard University today, dropping multiple banners and redecorating conference signage. #MedievalSky #AcademicSky

This is fascism and if not stopped we all know where it’s heading

NEW EMAIL FROM COLUMBIA ADMIN: DHS agents were in two university residences tonight — with two warrants "I am writing heartbroken to inform you that we had federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in two University residences tonight." No arrests made.

Cancelling an event because of Zionist intimidation is censorship. It violates academic freedom. It puts another target on a Palestinian scholar's back. Call out "cancellations of concern." Your colleagues are NOT to be suppressed for your own worries. www.americananthropologist.org/online-conte...

Hudson, NY – Amplify Palestine's Riham Barghouti is heading your way to talk BDS next Saturday (3/22)! [resharing image now with alt text]

To my colleagues at Columbia: if you were wondering where the rubber hits the road, this is where the rubber hits the road. I beseech you not to act like this is business as usual or it will indeed become business as usual.

Columbia has no interest in protecting its students. The university will continue to acquiesce to the racist, genocidal Trump Administration, betraying its mission and gaining nothing. Mahmoud must be found and freed.

It's a safe bet that Columbia is currently working on a statement that will find some way to apologize to the Trump administration about the issue

I just wrote a @theactionnet letter: Demand the Immediate Release of Palestinian Student Activist Mahmoud Khalil from DHS detention. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/dema...

Hey #MedievalSky and #AcademicSky The Open Access Medieval Studies conference is coming up (March 20-22)! Come learn with us as we envision a different academia. One that builds communities of trust to take action together! Registration and more goodies available at linktr.ee/mfp_lestine

Columbias (former) president did all that foolishness. The university threw the hammer down on students and faculty. All claiming to be in service of stopping antisemitism. And 47 STILL came for them. Was it worth it @columbiauniversity.bsky.social?

Email from Columbia President Armstrong makes clear that admin still has no idea what it’s dealing with. No amount of “serious action to combat antisemitism” (read: punish Palestine activists) will satisfy the Nazis. They see universities as an enemy institution to crush underfoot.

Discuss. (fun additional facts: she’s the first female governor of NY. also is not a Republican)

what the zionist entity is doing by withholding "aid" like tents, medical equipment, shelter, and food, while destroying water and sewage infrastructure, is economic warfare that is part and parcel of the genocide it is committing against Palestinians. this is a place where we can intervene. do it.

Teaching history divorced from the concerns of the present is actually doing a bad job at teaching history.

Please read and sign this petition to the AHA Council, demanding a recision of their veto of the Resolution to Oppose Scholasticide and to put the resolution to AHA's membership! www.historiansforpeace.org/2025/02/08/p...

As AHA combats acknowledgement of the fact that Israel is engaged in scholasticide, Palestinian students, teachers, and professors combat the consequences of scholasticide every day

AHA council vetoed resolution against scholasticide. They oddly named HS teachers as 1 reason for veto ⬇️. We work with teachers all over US who know you can't be an "unbiased historical actor." You're either for or against genocide. AHA council chose a side. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...
