City University of NY public safety officer just said “I support killing all you guys” to a group of students who walked out of the graduation at the College of Staten Island.

A must watch
Across the US, #students rally on #University campuses, demanding a #Ceasefire and divestment from companies supporting #Israel's ( Occupied Palestine 🇵🇸 ) nearly seven- month war on #Gaza
Pro-Palestinian voices
endure harrasment, doxxing, threats, and unwanted labels of 'anti-Semites'

@polyesterbride4 @uaw_4811 I’m a Jew and proud member of UAW 4811. I’ll happily be going on strike w/ my union. Gtfo of here with that particular bullshit, which has no place in our movement—or any.

Today, I became the first Jewish-American political appointee to resign from the Biden-Harris administration over its policies in Gaza. Here is my resignation letter:

You might have assumed a Pulitzer Prize would go to the brave journalists of Gaza. More than 100 of them have been killed by Israel in the past seven months – the fiercest eruption of violence against journalists ever. But you'd be wrong.

Instead it was the New York Times that won an award for its 'revelatory' coverage of Gaza – presumably a reference to its widely discredited reporting of mass rape by Hamas that the paper has had to quietly walk back and which helped rationalise Israel's intensified assault on Gaza that resulted in so many Palestinian journalists in Gaza being killed.

[Fadi Quran @fadiquran]

Every student protesting should know these three things:

1. You are a ray of hope for Gaza: Every person I’ve spoken to in and from Gaza has told me they were losing hope in international solidarity, until these protests started. They said the encampments are their main (for many the ONLY) source of hope now.

2. Your pressure is working: Despite what the US government is saying publicly, under the table these protests have forced them to urgently pursue a ceasefire, including significantly increasing pressure on the Israeli war cabinet.

3. Boards of Trustees across campuses are now divided, with some shifting towards divestment, and asking themselves the question of: Why risk everything to protect weapon companies and war criminals?

Given this rising impact, different tools of deception and oppression are going to be used to shut down your momentum.

Maintaining your eyes on the prize, your unity, coherence of messaging and the moral high ground are central.

You are at the forefront of the struggle for freedom and dignity. Millions across the world have your back.

Until Victory.

I say this with an awareness of every single Israeli leader -- hawk or dove, Labour or Likud, back to Ben-Gurion. This man is the most vicious, cynical, soulless and disastrous head of state since Herod.

BREAKING: This brilliant speech yesterday by a Columbia professor on the cowardice of the university administration in calling in police to arrest students will be cited throughout history -– and will inspire generations of students for decades to come.

Columbia still on lockdown two days later.⤵️

The UAW 4811 Executive Board is calling for a strike authorization vote in response to last night’s attacks at UCLA.

[UAW 4811 @uaw_4811]

Last night, students and workers protesting peacefully at UCLA for justice in Palestine were physically attacked by a group of 100+ counter protesters. UC’s failure to protect students and workers is an abdication of its responsibility. UAW 4811 members are mobilizing in response

The replies are laughing: Kids will just lie!

It's not 1995 anymore. Age verification is more sophisticated than a dropdown menu.

I knew what this meant, but I wanted a screenshot to prove it.

Turns out, it's much worse than Dexerto is letting on.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

I've read South Africa's case alleging genocide against Israel.

It is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

It feels like you're reading a gruesome historical document about how a genocide was allowed to happen, then you realise this is now.

From opposing fascism in WWII to mobilizing against apartheid South Africa and the CONTRA war, the @UAW has consistently stood for justice across the globe. That is why I am proud that the UAW International is today officially calling for a ceasefire in Israel and Palestine.
