So ICE has effectively disappeared a student for protesting Israel's genocide, separating him from his 8 month pregnant wife. Pure fascism

Columbia student and New Yorker, Mahmoud Khalil - who was targeted and detained for constitutionally protected speech - should be home with his 8 months pregnant wife today. Not missing in ICE detention, unreachable by his lawyers. 1/15

Israel's siege on Gaza, the blocking of essential aid and the cutting off of electricity are textbook acts of genocide, designed to systematically starve 2 million people. It's shameful the Labour government continues to refuse to recognise this for what it truly is: genocide.

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness." Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

Somebody recently used the term toxic collegiality to name a dynamic that has gaslit me throughout my professional career. As long as we are nice about dehumanizing people your anger about this dehumanization is unwarranted.

“Decades of scholarship reveal the many ways whiteness is encoded in supposedly neutral policies and programs…For many colleges, achieving a campus where white students are not unintentionally given extra opportunities based on their race will require radical change.”

And they want to do the same with universities which is why it is so disheartening to see many universities scrubbing the words diversity, equity and inclusion from their programs, which sets precedent for the eventual partisan takeover of courses and the systematic removal of marginalized scholars.

These types of letters (Dear Colleagues) are not official policy. Do not comply. They just showed their racist intentions again and need to be stopped now.
