Israel kills hundreds of Palestinians in a major attack on Gaza, with Hamas saying this marks the end of the ceasefire that began on January 19

Israel just killed hundreds of Palestinians, including kids. The US just killed dozens of Yemenis, including kids. "Why do they hate us?" asks the American public, blissfully ignorant of what's being done in its name in the Middle East by the US and its ally Israel. Sigh.

Chilling report from Brown University. Administration advises all foreign students, staff, and faculty to postpone or reconsider (ie cancel) international travel, due to federal government's crackdown on universities. Brown also warns against *domestic travel* -since it's unclear what ICE will do.

The point of repeating antisemitic tropes while claiming to fight antisemitism is to evacuate any meaning from the term "antisemitism" My latest essay: "'Antisemitism' and Antisemitism: The abuse of the word and the spread of the phenomenon" snyder.substack.com/p/antisemiti...

Massprotesternas tid mot den högerradikala vågen är här nu: Idag samlades 100 000-tals personer på gatorna i Seoul, Bukarest, Budapest och Belgrad för att protestera mot högerradikala politiker och regeringar samtidigt som amerikanska krigsveteraner protesterade mot Trump och Musk i Washington.

They're trying to deport my colleague from the med school and holding her without counsel. She was coming back from a visit to her family. If there are ways to help I'll let you know. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/l...

Til gode kolleger ved UiB: sees vi på torsdag? Jeg tar toget over fjellet for å være med 🇵🇸

In a troubling report, this still stands out: “Victor Muslin, a Columbia graduate who helps run several groups focused on fighting antisemitism, compared student protesters to cockroaches in WhatsApp messages.” What can you say to someone who recruits genocidal language to fight antisemitism?

NEW: Family of Mahmoud Khalil just released footage of his arrest “Stop resisting” “He’s not resisting” Agents seen continuing to ignore Mahmoud’s wife as she asks basic questions

I decided to speak plainly to my fellow Jewish @Columbia faculty colleagues. They are coming for us all. lithub.com/a-columbia-p...

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife. Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped. We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

Israeli police have raided the leading Palestinian bookshop in East Jerusalem for the second time in a month, detaining one of its owners for several hours and seizing some of its stock. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Fascism is here. The list of words Trump is banning from government is the most stunning document of our time. Click the image below to see how many words Trump and Musk have canceled as part of their new Reich. 🔗: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Just asked Sen. Schumer about the Trump admin relying on Marco Rubio to “personally” decide to deport Mahmoud Kahlil. He cut off the question and referred to his new statement, which he starts by saying how he abhors many “opinions and policies” Kahlil supports, without saying what any of them are.

This is actually insane. Instead of issuing a statement about how they will protect their students from Ice they're issuing statements about how they will harm them.

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

Israel says it is cutting off its electricity supply to Gaza,the territory’s desalination plants receive power for producing drinking water.This announcement comes a week after Israel cut off all supplies of goods to the territory to over 2 million people. apnews.com/article/gaza...

Kinda feeling like anybody who thinks defunding NOAA is a good idea should just pray when wildfires are close to their homes/property. Also, you know, get a divining rod or something for when you need water, ‘cuz science is for the woke.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel says it is cutting off its electricity supply to Gaza.

Mohamed gives me the down low on what’s happening in food markets in Gaza. Prices of goods have already doubled.

Israel has blocked all aid and goods entering Gaza. The US & Israel are refusing to continue the ceasefire as planned, which would see the removal of occupation forces from Gaza. The occupation has laid total siege on Gaza as a way to force Hamas to acquiesce.

Svært lite ryddig av NRK å skrive "Israel og Hamas er ueinige om korleis våpenkvila skal forlengast". Hamas har holdt seg til våpenhvileavtalen som begge parter underskrev, og ønsker å fortsette med fase to. Israel har brutt avtalen som begge parter underskrev, og nekter å gjennomføre fase to.

Israel is refusing to enter phase 2 of ceasefire talks and is closing off all supplies to Gaza. We’re fighting for a reality where Israel can’t simply cut water, food, and medicine off from 2 million people in Gaza.

This is a thing that fascist regimes always do, and it’s specially designed to terrorize brown people here. I spoke about it on TikTok www.tiktok.com/t/ZP821vydf/

I think an especially powerful economic message is deleting any accounts with especially problematic businesses, especially if you're able to provide feedback about why. I started with Airbnb, in part because of what I learned from this. www.theverge.com/news/621419/...

Don't be confused Just be amused. #KeepTellingofGaza

47 has such utter disregard for human life

Haha this is terrifying! I've been thinking about how the idea of working in higher ed in a state like Louisiana makes me uneasy (esp. if I was at a public school), but it turns out there is no good state to be in higher ed right now.

160+ Gazan medics detained in Israeli prisons face horrific abuse:beaten, starved,denied basic hygiene,and tortured daily.“I am talking about clubbing, being beaten with rifle butts and being attacked by dogs.No day passes without torture.” www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

I'm not sure I have North Sámi computational linguists in my bsky but we are looking for a colleague now: www.jobbnorge.no/ledige-still... www.jobbnorge.no/se-no/bargoo... (in Norwegian and Sami only)

Our ARTEM research collective is proudly launching our academic zine today, an interdisciplinary academic and creative outlet available as a way to push other forms of knowledge creation and trade. Feel free to share and reach out if you want to participate in future issues. tinyurl.com/ARTEMZINE

We received the great news that our book has been accepted for publication in Multilingual Matters (@multi-ling-mat.bsky.social). This continues the work towards pluriversalizing language teaching and research beyond the monolithic systems of oppression. Thanks for joining us Tejiendo Saberes.

Alive

And in agony we should stay as racism becomes the norm. #KeepTellingofGaza

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references. It's brutal. And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

Do you want to be my colleague! Now you can apply! www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...
