UN Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory:
#Israel has perpetrated a concerted policy to destroy #Gaza’s healthcare system as part of a broader assault on Gaza, committing war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination.

This situation looks familiar to Penn grad workers. We overwhelmingly supported unionization but Penn admin used spurious and antidemocratic legal challenges to delay our election. @PittTweet It's well past time to hold a union election!
Hundreds of us gathered at the Cathedral today to show the Chancellor that we’re ready to vote for our union! Now it’s time for her to submit the voter list. #WheresMyBallot#PittGradUnion#PittGrads#Pitt#H2P
Join us at 12:30pm next Tuesday, 9/10 in the Cathedral of Learning as we rally to show the Pitt administration that we’re ready to vote for our union and ready to negotiate together over our stipends, benefits, and working conditions at Pitt. #PittGradUnion#PittGrads
Pushing out the highest ranking trans person in SWPA because of a petition signature demanding voter participation in decision making is an indication of how fascist Zionism attacks everyone. We must unite against white supremacy.
Grads have unionized at universities across the country. When grads come together, we win! Join us for our last summer school information session before the fall semester begins and learn about what we can achieve when we win our union. August 15 @ 4pm. #PittGradUnion
Genuinely feel pretty sick about this. Some of my students last term were arrested for the crime of peacefully protesting genocide and that “taint” on their record *will* follow them.
We still are on strike. People who work for or work with the people who work for the PG are crossing our picket line. We continue to appreciate the people who are not crossing.
Police escalation in protests always leads to violence. That’s why it’s never the answer. Instead of meeting calls for justice with unnecessary force, we need to listen, understand & address the root cause of the outrage.
Our communities demand change, not violent confrontation.
I see @PittChancellor is doing her best to lay the groundwork for police brutality on her campus with that unhinged email today.
If you’ve been watching the protests closely enough to know so much about them, why haven’t you come to the table?
