It's actually enraging how the World Bank can suddenly change its mind about industrial policy like "Oops, for the past 45 years we systematically prevented you from using the most obvious tool for sovereign development, keeping you stuck in poverty and dependency, lol".

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

"To you we're just a headline, a tragedy to consume, not colleagues to defend. We are being hunted & killed.. while all of you watch in silence.. Israel is killing us one by one, and not just us, our families too.."

@Hind_Gaza with a message to international journalists

[Mara @dutchgeographer]

And now he too has been killed, during a "ceasefire," after sharing in the feeling of relief just yesterday. Israel can't stand not controlling the narrative and try to kill off anyone telling the truth. But they will not succeed. RIP Saleh ✊🏼🇵🇸

[WearThePeace @WearThePeaceCo]

Beloved journalist Saleh Aljafarawi full of joy as he announces the news of a ceasefire. Free Palestine 🍉

[حسام شبات @HossamShabat]

Hossam and Anas should’ve been announcing the end of genocide ,celebrating the end of bloodshed. Instead, they gave their lives so the world could see the truth.

Your courage, sacrifice, and voices will never be forgotten , the world is forever grateful for your truth. 🕊️

[Mara @dutchgeographer]

It is utterly shameful (and sadly not surprising) that the efforts to end the genocide of palestinians by Israel has been really led by ordinary folks & not the majority of global political leaders, those who are meant to set an example of what a more just world should look like.

[Ryan Rozbiani @RyanRozbiani]

These are some of the names and faces of the thousands of civilians Israel stole from us.

Palestinians are not just numbers; they're artists and poets, scientists and doctors, journalists, and so much more.

[Ramy Abdu| رامي عبده @RamAbdu]

Breaking: A quarter million in Amsterdam wear red in solidarity with Gaza, protesting Israel’s genocide.

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

Let me be very clear here:

It is not only that no one on earth has the right to govern the Palestinian people other than the Palestinians themselves.
But also no one on earth has the right to even speak about this matter other than the Palestinians.

[Eman Abdelhadi @emanabdelhadi]

Do you see that fight for Palestine is the fight for the whole world? A world where no one is disposable, where no one is disappeared—not by ICE or the IDF, where the will of the people of the world matters more than the will of profit and empire. Do you see it?

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

The legacy of Columbia will be that it set off the destruction of the American higher education system. These schools, which once boasted themselves as beacons of free speech, have fully embraced being centers of repression.

They have also made clear that the only “racism” they are willing to institutionally “correct” is one manufactured by groups working specifically to protect the right of Israeli Jews to exterminate an entire nation, half of whom are children.

In DC and across the country, we need #HousingNotHandcuffs #FreeDC

EXTRACTION is hitting the road this fall. Thrilled to be in conversation with @dharnanoor @bentarnoff @dwallacewells @tom_stackpole and others.

Stay tuned for more events in the winter and spring!

[Mara @dutchgeographer]

Disgusting. Shame on you #holocaustmuseumla

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Unbelievable. The Holocaust museum LA *apologized* for sharing a general anti-genocide post, because it might be “misinterpreted” to include Palestinians.

Palestinians are so dehumanized that they’re excluded from “never again,” apparently their genocide is the exception.

[Jesse Rabinowitz 🔥🌹@jesserbnwtz.bsky.social @jesserbnwtz]

For folks not in DC:
- There are full-on police checkpoints most nights
- Gangs of 30+ federal agents roam DC
- National Guard folks w/ guns patrolling a Harris Teeter
- Every day, multiple friends see ICE kidnapping ppl
- Daycares are scared to have kids go on walks due to ICE

[Carlota Perez @CarlotaPrzPerez]

Ha-Joon Chang wrote in the @FT about the need to rejuvenate economics teaching (as @MazzucatoM and many others have been claiming). Not only does its teaching need to be open to variety, but the economics science itself needs to become interdisciplinary.

[Jesse Rabinowitz 🔥🌹@jesserbnwtz.bsky.social @jesserbnwtz]

You should care about homeless ppl b/c they are ppl, and most folks are closer to living outside than they are to being a billionaire.

But if that's not enough, care about them b/c how gov't treats them says volumes abt us.

Care b/c the cruelty won't stop with homeless folks.
