Congratulations to Mayor-elect Mamdani on a remarkable campaign and victory.

Honored to serve as co-chair of the transition as we work to build an administration that governs effectively and delivers a city where all New Yorkers can build a good life.

Monday night, Georgetown researcher Badar Khan Suri was abducted by masked DHS agents who informed him his visa had been revoked. He is now is facing deportation under the same immigration law provision used against Mahmoud Khalil.

Suri, an Indian national on a student visa and married to a US citizen, has not been accused of a crime nor charged with one.

According to his lawyer’s petition to stop the deportation, his case rests on his wife’s “ties with Hamas” and past affiliation with Al Jazeera (international journalists, they’re coming).

“This is the scene filmed in May by CBS News in Gaza”

So the State Dept narrative managers at 60 Minutes held this footage for 8 months, publishing it just hours before the end of the Biden era, to ensure no massacres were interfered with and no US officials felt the heat

@UCWVAUVA Are all members of the faculty senate white? Did no one push back against this?!

That’s terrifying

[molly conger @socialistdogmom]

after telling students their tents violated school policy, UVA administrators discovered the tents do not actually violate school policy so they simply changed the school policy without any notice whatsoever.

[Irtefa Binte-Farid, PhD @IrtefaBF]

Yesss!!

DARTMOUTH STUDENTS HAVE JOINED FORCES WITH STRIKING WORKERS.

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 ✊🇵🇸

It’s a sad day for Bangladesh, whose people fought so valiantly for a democratic nation. Let’s hope there is a peaceful pathway out of the one-party state. But evidently it won’t be revealed today.

[Verso Books @VersoBooks]

Ceasefire now. We are in solidarity with the #StrikeForGaza

[Fatima 𓂆 فاطمة 🇵🇸 @fatimasal82]

No school. No work. No purchases. No banking. Shut it down. #StrikeForGaza

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

Israel has lost its most loyal propaganda organ. This is big.

[Crystal A. Ennis @Crystal_Ennis]

They are brave and they know how to exercise their academic freedom to speak about Palestine. Today they faced an alarming breach of this by Leiden University security. 🧵 1/

[Irtefa Binte-Farid, PhD @IrtefaBF]

And despite all of this, Biden continues to defend Israel’s right to continue its genocidal practices.

So tell me again who are the savages?

We see your silence, and we will never forget how you made it clear you don’t see us as fully human.
