Happening now: in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, students at Sullivan High School are walking out this afternoon in protest of ICE and Trump's deportation regime.

Here are the Palestinian children that Zionism killed before they reached their first birthdays. Shared on X by Laila Al-Arian.

This is Israel's most read daily newspaper, openly calling for genocide and saying there are no innocent people in Gaza. This is who Biden sacrificed the country to arm.

Interesting to see these big name universities absolutely crumble and cave — halting admissions, altering faculty labs’ websites, and basically being a bunch of collaborators. Almost like that’s what they were really about all along. Almost like those billions in endowments aren’t for education.

"Israel/Gaza" and "Israel/Hamas" are combinations that ignore the humanity of Palestinians and feed into their ethnic cleansing. Stop using them.

Many poor white people who voted for Trump will lose access to food & medical care because of his cuts. No. They don't "deserve" that. No one, ANYWHERE, deserves to lose access to life. Especially not for making bad choices in a system that makes a mockery of "choice." Hope that helps.

Universities are counter-insurgent institutions with increasingly smaller pockets of resistance.

The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has documented at least 110 Palestinians killed by the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip since the implementation of the ceasefire agreement last month. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/078jbu

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

To be clear, Palestinians have resisted American funded & Israeli operated ethnic cleansing since 1948. Trump is just the latest of a long line of monsters, he’s just the dumbest & says the quiet part out loud. But make no mistake: Palestine will be free from the river to the sea.

You don’t earn a billion dollars. You steal it. From workers, from the public coffers, from not complying with environmental or health and safety regulations, etc. Never, ever say someone has “earned” billions

Lets be real, liberals thinking DEI was 'job done' and not making real institutional changes is as much to blame. It's easy dismantle because it was so flimsy in the first place

A country founded on violence will scorch the earth to get what it wants.

Not a single ICE officer is a good person or in any way redeemable. Who would select into this?

Today and in the coming days, remember

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

I hope that the ceasefire deal truly means an end to the vicious, murderous bombardment of Palestine and I also know that there are not enough ceasefire deals to cover the dead. The United States supplied the weapons and Israel used them. Never forget. Free Palestine!!!

Billionaires cost us more than they contribute.

Israel killed 184 people in Gaza in the past 72 hours.

UN Experts: “We are gravely concerned with the fate of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya…This is part of a pattern by Israel to continuously bombard, destroy and fully annihilate the realisation of the right to health in Gaza.” www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

Mutual aid, sanctuary spaces, sharing pantries, freedom schools, reading collectives, childcare collectives, shared gardens. Just a few ideas of how we keep us safe. We don’t have to give up. But we need to commune. Peace in the struggle. Joy in the fight.

Israel killed him, he’s now with Reem, the soul of his soul.

"Killing is never OK", says ruling class of nation arming and abetting genocidal mass murder for the past 430 days.

Palestinians don’t need your sympathy or your pity or your symbolic gestures. We need you to cut ties with our killers and colonizers. We need you to boycott, divest from, and sanction Israel. Yes that includes academic institutions, whose commitment to genocide and apartheid is well documented.

Watch all the prison release videos from Syria. Let Syrians feed you a taste of freedom. Imagine your own society opening its doors and borders. Imagine being free one day yourself, truly free. That’s what this moment invites.

On Dec. 4, 1969, Chicago Black Panthers Fred Hampton and Mark Clark were assassinated by Chicago Police and the FBI

Israel killed more than 51 Palestinians in Gaza today, and just now there are reports of a massacre in Jabalia, where more than 40 people were killed in an attack on a building where people were sheltering. Today’s toll alone will likely surpass 100 dead and more injured.

Reports of another Israeli attack on a World Central Kitchen food convoy in Gaza, killing at least 10 people seeking aid & 3 humanitarian workers, but all were Palestinian, so this incident is unlikely to get widely reported. It’s long been normalized. www.middleeasteye.net/news/war-gaz...

American politicians threatening every single ally on the planet in service of one specific ally internationally accused of war crimes seems crazy until you remember these politicians sent the bombs used in said war crimes

I think the arrest warrant matters for the long fight for Palestinian liberation. I do. But man is this so little, such a weak form of paper justice when we are seeing day in day out people being ravaged by an oppressor acting with impunity. What a failure. What shame.

Have not seen much on here on Sudan, so I'm amplifying this horrific report that shows the number who are killed is higher than previously estimated. Adding here other writing to read to understand this war that has displaced over 11 million people; the highest displacement crisis globally. 🧵

This is happening now in Beirut. X, as horrific as it got, is a loudspeaker for the silenced. I am still there because of it. We must get intentional about circulating the horrors in Palestine, Lebanon, Sudan if we intend to make this the just alternative.
