CUNY FSJP is launching a weekly solidarity fast for Gaza starting today. Please join us! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

BREAKING: At least 45 Palestinians have been killed and dozens injured by Israeli forces as they were waiting for aid in Khan Younis, says the Gaza Health Ministry. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/0jcx3m

Latest in the Guardian with @nickocchiuto.bsky.social argues that the Club World Cup tournament has given Trump a platform for his authoritarianism, with full endorsement of FIFA. We must answer by boycotting the World Cup matches to be held in the US next year. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

These "hunger games" being played by Israel and the US are so disgusting. The humiliation and terrorizing and murdering of Palestinians via inhumanitarian aid is further evidence of how dehumanized Israel and the US are. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Interpreters: if you’re going to interpret a graduation these days you should look up the sign for Palestine. No reason to fingerspell it.

Great piece. Come to the Grad Center if you can to support these folks and attend a teach in.

Just wrote. Please consider doing the same - takes less than a minute!

One of the highlights of this year was co-hosting a keynote lecture by the magnificent Sherene Seikaly, titled "Palestine as Paradigm." I am so honoured to be able to share it with you all. Take some time with it. Her message has never been more urgent. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq0A...

Israeli forces bomb Fahmi Al-Jirjawi school-turned-shelter in Gaza's Al-Daraj neighborhood, erupting fire and killing at least 30 Palestinians, including several children. The total number of people killed across the enclave since dawn today is 50. #Gaza

This is what fascist state capture looks like in practice—a pervasive blurring of the boundary between state & vigilante violence under the aegis of the law.

Over 1100 Israeli academics urge the heads of Israeli universities and colleges to "mobilize the full weight of Israeli academia to stop the Israeli war in #Gaza", acknowledging "a horrifying litany of war crimes and even crimes against humanity, all of our own doing."

Israeli academia operates to justify and sustain Israeli state narratives and action. Israeli archaeologists, for example, choose dig sites that facilitate Israeli encroachment and forcible dispossession of Palestinians.

Gaza is a free fire zone. Anyone can be killed anywhere at anytime. In this case, a doctor lose nine of her ten children. This is a war crime. The murder of two Israeli embassy staffers is also a crime. The difference is that Palestinians are being killed by the dozens or hundreds a day.

I hope that @brooklyncollege.bsky.social will speak up about what Councilwoman Inna Vernikov is doing here--targeting a CUNY student with hate and potentially putting them in danger. Vernikov previously brought a gun--against NYC law--to a protest at Brooklyn College in October 2023.

My God

What kind of dystopic science fiction world are we living in?

Scenes are repeating across the United States, passersby and local residents confront & resist Trump's ICE regime troops as they’re spotted kidnapping their neighbours. The regime continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing, appearing at homes and businesses masked and without warrants. #3E #StopICE

Growing reports show that Israel has been fomenting armed gangs to loot food supplies in Gaza and sow chaos — and it's killing those who attempt to stop it. But this strategy isn't new: Israel has waged a war on Gaza's civil government from the start.

Israeli forces kill 19 in Gaza in past 24 hours: Palestinian health ministry - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israeli-forces-kill-19-palestinians-gaza-over-last-24-hours-health

Honestly, I know of no such blatant case of political imprisonment & infringement of political speech in the USA in modern times. Maybe there are going back decades, but this was deeply shameful, from the moment masked men unjustly kidnapped her, stuffed her into a van, & locked her up.

The Israeli occupation forces bombed the UNRWA aid distribution headquarters in Jabalia camp, north of the Gaza Strip. #Gaza

2/ We'll say it again: When schools send the police after their own students, it shows a shocking disregard for their safety - especially now, as the federal government seizes any opportunity to target and deport pro-Palestine protesters. Brooklyn College, and all colleges, must do better.

1/ Last night, Brooklyn College called the NYPD - including the notoriously violent SRG - on its own students over a small, nonviolent protest in support of Palestine. Cops needlessly escalated the protest by pushing and shoving several protesters to the ground, and tasing one student three times.

The doctoral student, targeted for pro-Palestine article, recounts being ‘afraid’ and ‘crying’ during her detention.

I have signed this! CUNY folks please add your name!

As Mayor Adams meets with the Deporter in Chief, our @sophlebo.bsky.social shows the flaws in NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch's new policy of criminalizing immigrant cyclists. Or perhaps that's a feature, not a bug? nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/05/09/n...

ICE just arrested the Mayor of Newark

This is actually terrifying. They're holding Ras Baraka, the MAYOR in an undisclosed location? Group chats say he's being held at 620 Frlinghuysen Ave.

mondoweiss.net/2025/05/isra... How sick is this?

newsrooms of the world did u know that when Rümeysa Öztürk gets out you can pay her to write an editorial, and then publish it? did u know that if all of you did this it would be a whole thing and a good one

Read the Judge's straightforward words today as he ordered the release of Rumeysa Ozturk: "There has been no evidence that has been introduced by the government other than the op-ed. I mean, that literally is the case."

People have literally been enslaved there. What the absolute fuck.

"Today, the 'Palestine exception' has become a key entry point for an ideological capture of higher education, decades in the making."

Israeli soldiers have filmed themselves blowing up a building in Gaza for a ‘gender reveal’, having rigged it with explosives that give off blue smoke to indicate a fetus is male.

Ethnic cleansing is ‘biblical prophecy’ Military occupation is ‘peacekeeping’ Genocide is ‘self defence’ Apartheid is ‘democracy’ Israel and the West have created a level of doublespeak beyond Orwell’s darkest imagination

This is absolutely nuts. Seems likely it’s meant to deliver immigrant delivery cyclists straight to ICE as part of Eric Adams corrupt bargain w Trump.

This is an outrageous policy change. Also, if you’re gonna do this then you gotta do it for drivers, too right? Given those are obviously far far more dangerous vehicles. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/05/02/p...

No, what is difficult is being a Palestinian

🚨 The HRF files complaint with the ICC in The Hague against Lt. Colonel Beni Aharon, responsible for the murder of Hind Rajab. Today should’ve been Hind's 7th birthday. After a year of research, we’ve identified the commander, the brigade and the battalion who killed her. → https://bit.ly/3YsEckI

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen something so simultaneously absurd and disturbing: the House will vote Monday on a bill that would punish Americans for participating in boycotts of Israel with fines of up to $1 MILLION or prison terms up to TWENTY YEARS.

NYU School of Law has told 31 pro-Palestine students they must sign away their right to protest if they want to return to campus and sit exams. theintercept.com/2025/05/03/n...

Does anyone else feel like Israel bombing Europe while attempting to assassinate Greta Thunberg and a humanitarian aid crew should be bigger news?
