In what looks to be the first of its kind globally, a university-wide strike is happening on the same day a Palestine encampment will go up for Gaza!
Hundreds of students faculty and staff on the Main Green ✊🇵🇸

SOLIDARITY FOREVER.
ALL POWER TO THE STUDENTS!!

BREAKING| At least 150 hungry citizens have been killed and 1000 others wounded in an Israeli massacre in northern Gaza.
Israeli tanks shelled thousands of hungry civilians, who were waiting for flour at Al Rasheed Street. Israeli snipers continue to target everyone approaching the victims in some locations.
The director of Kamal Idwan Hospital told Al Jazeera that the victims were directly targeted in the upper part of the body, indicating that the intention was to kill.
I can’t share the photos. Too horrific.
This morning in northern Gaza, Israeli tanks shot at Palestinians who gathered waiting for food supplies to come & killed over 40 people. A truck came back with a pile of bodies instead of aid.
I’ve had a number of followers recently lamenting that they can’t afford N95s. Please check the account below that helps you locate a mask bloc in your area (a mutual aid group that will help provide high quality respirators to those in need).
