“The news of Leonard Peltier’s homecoming comes at the same time as the release of Palestinian political prisoners in the West Bank, as Gazans make their way back to northern Gaza, and on the morning after the ceasefire agreement halting a genocidal war.” https://t.co/4ndcEqxuOL

The world has not “failed” Gaza, the world is failing Gaza.

The slaughter is not over for us to claim the past tense.

This is happening in the present & we must treat it as such.

This means there’s still urgency & space to change the dynamics.

[Writers Against the War on Gaza @wawog_now]

One year ago today, fifteen children in northern Gaza held a press conference outside Al-Shifa Hospital. They huddled together as one of the older ones read from a slip of paper, in English so that the world would better hear: “We want to live as the other children live.”

I understand all the decisions people are making, but solidarity and gratitude to the people unwilling to compromise on genocide and holding the line today. The pressure to do otherwise is immense and you will be ridiculed and blamed for doing so. Thank you for your courage.

My university mgmt has unilaterally imposed anti-free speech codes on campus and my union responded immediately with a cease-and-desist, claiming this is a matter for mandatory bargaining. Mgmt (no way!) disagrees and we have a hearing now set with labor board for January.
