BREAKING: Belgian TV channel interrupts Eurovision to address Israel’s genocide:

“This is a union action. We condemn the human rights violations committed by Israel. Additionally, Israel is destroying press freedom. That is why we are pausing the broadcast for a moment.”

UT Austin is apparently claiming that protesters had guns (completely unsubstantiated)

and of course, legal in Texas even if it is true.

makes me immediately think of garrett foster and how gun laws are weaponized for white supremacists and against literally everyone else

“The Palestinians don’t get to choose whether or not they live this life. How unbackboned would I be if I just walked out when things got hard?”

Several arrested pro-Palestine student protesters from the past two weeks share their stories, from being arrested, to how they were treated while transported and at Travis County Jail.

Holy shit... UCR admin has agreed to all of the demands made by UCR Students for Justice in Palestine 🇵🇸🍉

Hind Rajab was a frightened 6-year-old girl in Gaza who was killed while she hid alone in a car, along with the paramedics who went to rescue her; today, students at Columbia have seized the administration building and renamed it in her honor.

Can’t believe more ppl aren’t talking about Cal Poly Humboldt. Despite federal & state authorities’ threats, students aren’t backing down. They occupied a 2nd building after renaming Seimens Hall “Intifada Hall” & redecorated the President’s office as part of the liberated zone:

Students have formed a circle around camp of pro-Palestine protesters.

Students in the south are facing a different kind of beast when it comes to policing

Thank you. We need more people to say “No, I will not do that.”

[kelly 🔻 @perilla_warfare]

The irony of this specific weaponry being used against students, and it being state-sanctioned, is not fucking lost on me.

I don’t know how much I can emphasize that UT Austin has a HISTORY of institutional violence against their students. They need our support.

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

UT Austin students chanting “You don’t scare us” even as countless militarized Texas Troopers swarm their campus, attack their protest, and bring in horses. This movement will not be stopped.

"When I tell people I'm Palestinian, a lot of the time, they assume I am Muslim, and I'm not. I love my Muslim brothers and sisters, but I am not. I am a Palestinian Christian, my Grandpa's family is Catholic and my Grandma's family is Orthodox. And being a..."

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

It’s funny hearing people say that ‘Palestine does not exist” or “there never was a “Palestine”” - forgetting how even the Zionist movement itself, from the earliest days, referred to that land as Palestine in its propaganda, brochures, ideological essays...

Sarajevo was under siege for 4 years. They cut us off from water, food, electricity, everything…but we managed to survive. We built a tunnel to get the injured out, we bartered, we made food & honey out of dandelions, we held concerts underground, prayer in basements…
