SCOOP: Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show the Trump admin will now force schools to report international students for broad categories like protests or "antisemitic actions." Comes the same week the Trump admin welcomed a white Afrikaner who once said “Jews are untrustworthy and a dangerous group.”

Israel accused of ethnic cleansing after more than 140 killed in Gaza in 24 hours

Sesame Street is officially UNION! Workers at Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind Sesame Street, have voted 55-19 to join @opeiulocal153.bsky.social Huge congrats to @sesameworkersunion.bsky.social! “We can officially say that today, May 15th, is brought to you by the letter U!”

"One day, you might ask why people are punished for standing up for Palestine, why truth and compassion feel dangerous to power. These are hard questions, but I hope our story shows you this: the world needs more courage, not less. It needs people who choose justice over convenience."

Would like to see a bit more of that first half energy. #LFC

It’s not new anymore, but this real time, this succinct, it’s just pure poison.

“We will not be useless intellectuals,” protesters said in a statement shared online. “Palestine is our compass, and we stand strong in the face of violent oppression.”

Columbia Spectator writes about how pro-Palestine protesters at Butler Library tried to leave, "but Public Safety officers ... blocked the exit" and "asked to show their identification." The university says none complied with the ID request. www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2025/05...

Today, Columbia “peace officers” and NYPD kettled and brutalized nearly 100 people of conscience who reclaimed Butler Library as the Basil-al-Araj Liberated Zone. There have been multiple reports of serious injuries.

"At least ninety-two people were killed across Gaza today [Wednesday], most of them women and children." What are you doing to stop the genocide?

"We should be determined to achieve what is necessary, and nothing less than that." --Jean-Luc Mélenchon

“The world cannot silently just watch while this humanitarian crisis is happening & this siege is also, of course, a continuation of many, many decades of illegal occupation.” Zeteo contributor Greta Thunberg explains how Israel bombed a Gaza Aid ship w/ drones w/ humanitarian volunteers on board.

Weekend read. It just arrived. New from #versobooks. I've been jealous of the French left's success. Hope to learn what's working for La France insoumise. #booksky 💙📚

The liberation of the international working class depends on the dismantling of capitalism, imperialism, and all forces that exploit workers around the world.

The Reds did it! #YNWA #LiverpoolFC

BREAKING: Turns out “we’re a family here” is corporate speak for “we’ll guilt you into unpaid overtime.” Co-workers working together in unions don’t do guilt—we do protection. Join one. Start one. Win one. #UnionsForAll

“Expert hacks” i.e. we’ve never spoken to a working class person in our lives

New details on killing of paramedics in Gaza appear to contradict IDF’s account

"The next day, emergency workers found her father, Wissam Zaydan, and then her mother, Mona Al Shaker. 'My uncle told the rescue workers to work delicately.
