Late last year, a private equity firm purchased an oil-burning power plant in my neighborhood. In March, the plant spilled 45,000+ gallons of oil into Lake Ontario and onto its shore. Piece out today in @nysfocus @thenation https://t.co/CcgLimJJky

This is huge. UCD pushed by the students & by OUR UCD to make a strong statement, to provide scholarships & fellowships, to make serious moves to divest, to build an anti-apartheid, anti-racist UCD. The genocide continues in Gaza & Palestine, and we will continue to fight. 🍉🍉✊

[Thea Riofrancos @triofrancos]

Staggering findings from @cpluscp research: carbon cost of rebuilding Gaza from ravages of Israel’s brutal war is 60 million tons of CO2.

Genocide is climate injustice. I’m proud to work with a think tank making the connections between Palestinian freedom and planetary health.

[Mona Ali @MonaAli_NY_US]

The carbon footprint of the US war machine in just the first 120 days of the war on Gaza.

This is massive. @UN Secretary General calls for a worldwide ban on fossil fuel advertising. https://t.co/pVKUntwVA0

“I resigned on Wednesday, 15 May – the 76th anniversary of the Nakba… I could no longer serve at the pleasure of a president who refuses to stop another catastrophe”

I wrote for @guardian about my resignation. How many red lines will it take, @POTUS?

[UCD Justice for Palestine @ucdpalestine]

Piece by @carlobrien in the Irish Times that is based on an anonymous interview with ONE member of UCD staff. This does NOT represent the views of UCD staff. We stand with our students, we stand with Palestine. #FreePalestine

[Leanna First-Arai @firstarai]

stunned & horrified to see such irresponsible, lopsided coverage of peaceful @ucddublin Palestine solidarity encampment activity from the @IrishTimes. chalk phrases calling out university inaction are categorically not “messages of hatred and violence.”

[The Irish Times @IrishTimes]

UCD president criticises ‘messages of hatred and violence’ following pro-Palestine protest on campus https://t.co/QhUjtmGOEN

[Martha Ní Riada @MarthaReidy]

Come join the encampment, as students and staff @ucddublin we're calling on our University to cut ties with Israeli institutions. Academic freedom can't be used as a reason not to stand against genocide when all Universities in Gaza are destroyed.

Tomorrow, I will be moderating an panel event that will be hosted by
@FSP_NWU to discuss retaliations and protections that incarcerated journalists should have for doing their jobs. I recommended any reporter/editor that covers criminal Justice to attend. https://t.co/4OtDTuMiWu

This Friday on #WorldPressFreedomDay, come attend a panel discussion where we will discuss journalists who are often ignored in the press freedom talk, incarcerated journalists. It’s hosted by @FSP_NWU, moderated by me. Sign up here: https://t.co/4OtDTuMiWu

[Maximillian Alvarez @maximillian_alv]

These young journalists @WKCRFM deserve a medal for their public service, and these university admins, city officials, & cops deserve to be publicly reviled

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

Faculty everywhere: more of this, please.

[Lily Kepner @lilykepner]

There have been at least 3 arrests. Protestors are sitting down and continuing to link arms.

[Escalate Network @readytoescalate]

BREAKING: anti-genocide protesters have taken over Jackson Square in New Orleans. Tents have been put up. This is the first non-university Gaza solidarity encampment, to our knowledge.

[Saul @saaaauuull]
