In an extremely significant win for the Palestine solidarity movement, Maersk is officially cutting ties with companies linked to Zionist settlements across the occupied West Bank.
🚨BREAKING🚨 The MIT Coalition for Palestine representing 19 student and faculty groups just released an 83-page report 'MIT Science for Genocide' on how MIT conducts war research on campus sponsored directly by the Israeli military.

Jabalia tonight. We cannot allow our ruling classes to normalize this ceaseless depravity. The words holocaust or genocide do not even suffice any longer.

Every politician's "no place for this violence in America" statement is also an admission of (1) what kind of violence they condone (2) where they think "this kind" of violence does belong and (3) who they think belongs to "America" (and thus who deserves shelter from violence)
Invoking the anti-imperialist roots of Asian American identity is useful, but nostalgia is ultimately not a sustainable politics. The point isn't that they were anti-imperialist so we should be too, but that the structure of US imperialism in Asia they opposed remains in place.
🇵🇸 WE STAND WITH COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND COMMEND THEIR GAZA SOLIDARITY ENCAMPMENT
Columbia students made history today as they established the Gaza Solidarity Encampment, inspired by the 1968 occupation of Hamilton Hall on their campus sparked by the university’s attempts to suppress protests against the affiliation of the university with the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA), a weapons research think-tank affiliated with the U.S. Department of Defense.
STUDENTS RISE UP AGAINST GENOCIDE
In a moment of extreme urgency, as the United States and the Biden administration continue to fund the brutal Israeli occupation & genocide, students are standing with Palestine. Students today are continuing the legacy of anti-war organizing on campuses, including the powerful movements against the Vietnam War and apartheid South Africa.
THE STUDENT MOVEMENT GROWS!
Today’s action makes clear that the student movement for Palestine and against injustice everywhere will only continue to grow. Administrators’ efforts to suppress campus activism will only be met with more intentional acts of protest. It is the students’ right to protest their universities’ complicity with Israeli colonial violence. Together we will win!
Long live the student movement! Free Palestine! #ShutItDown4Palestine

🚨🇵🇸 Aaron Bushnell, 25 years old and an active duty soldier, made the ultimate sacrifice to end a genocide perpetuated, supported, and financed by the Biden Administration. Biden, Trump and all the imperialist politicians are guilty of war crimes. The system is guilty of crimes against humanity in Gaza and Aaron Bushnell took a heroic stand. We honor him and his sacrifice.
This is an urgent call to all active duty soldiers in the US armed forces to be conscientious objectors and refuse to participate in the US government’s active sponsorship of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians!
Just imagine your university has materially and ‘virtually’ (no URL) disappeared. How absurd is this annihilation of education? How many years to recover what is lost? How is this even possible in 2023? Where has this even happened on such a scale? Yet you are all silent.
