Cornell threatens to suspend grad student, Momodou Taal, without due process which could result in his deportation. Folks thought a Trump admin would set this precedent. Biden did.

After GoFundMe cruelly deleted his account after many weeks of effort, sharing & donations. I have created this new campaign for @SQarman32315. Please, please share this and donate if you did previously, so we can try and get Samer back to where he was. https://t.co/BYidp7oDts

[Shaista Chishty @shaistographer]

This is outrageous. Shame on @gofundme

[Louis Allday @Louis_Allday]

With no explanation @gofundme has cancelled @SQarman32315’s campaign. It had reached almost €10,000 after weeks of effort and sharing. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. What is your explanation @gofundme? Please do the right thing & re-instate his campaign for him and his family.

Political violence in any form has no place in our societies--unless it's against Palestinians, in which case go ahead, and here are some weapons.

[Shaista Chishty @shaistographer]

Terrifying. This is what you get when an entire system colludes to demonise a group of people. The fact that pretty much everything this woman says is incorrect is neither here nor there. The foundation is well laid. Reform’s campaign strategy is to unite & revel in Islamophobia

“This country is dead. Sharia law is king.”

@lewis_goodall went door-knocking with Reform Party activists in Andy Burnham’s former constituency, Leigh, in Greater Manchester.

Despite living through a genocide, being 9 months preganant and figuring out how to evacuate @rmcheeta comes on this app everyday to ask for donations to help her get put of Palestine to have a safe delivery.

@ltotelin Thank you for sharing- will give this some thought!

[Shaista Chishty @shaistographer]

@ltotelin Ooooh this looks great, thanks so much for sharing!

[Malaka @MalakaShwaikh]

Thank you so much for your generous donations. To raise £50k in 24 hrs is heartwarming. This will enable me to evacuate all 8 members of my small family. I’ve now updated the amount from the description to evacuate my 3 married sisters & their children too https://t.co/RlY3pVYeuV

@cardiffuni what action is being taken to make me and my fellow students feel safe?

[Black Lives Matter Cardiff&Vale @BLMCardiff]

This @cardiffuni student has travelled to Israel and taken pictures with the IDF, an armed forces that are currently being investigated for genocide by the highest court in the world.

Yet when students, Palestinian and other, wish to raise awareness of the genocide currently /1

Nearly ONE HUNDRED PROFESSORS killed--not one word from Western universities. One hundred professors.

🧵 [1] Let’s explore how little the government truly cares about Muslims and tackling #Islamophobia in the UK 👇🏽

Here we have our very own #PrimeMinister & members of his party using racist and Islamophobic tropes against Muslim MPs in Parliament!

Solidarity with @zarahsultana

1/ People may not have time to read up on Palestine and Gaza. Here are five podcast episodes I feel capture important topics for those who care about Gaza in the Global North 🧵

1. Personal experience
2. History
3. Criminalisation
4. Action
5. Meaning

[Forensic Architecture @ForensicArchi]

Preliminary analysis by FA, @alhaq_org & @earshot_ngo into the #AlAhli hospital blast in Gaza casts significant doubt on IOF claims that the source of the deadly explosion was a Palestinian-fired rocket travelling west to east.

[Shaista Chishty @shaistographer]

Please join the global strike for Palestine today. A day of mourning, a collective day of action, artists against apartheid, against war, against human rights violations. Thank you @TheMosaicRooms . Art work by @MigrantsCulture

[Workers in Palestine @WorkersinPales1]

Palestinian trade unions issue a global call to action!  Stop the complicity with Israel's crimes! The time is NOW to halt the arms trade, funding, and military research. Palestinian lives depend on it. Share this message far and wide! #PalestineSolidarity #StoArmingIsrael

[Harsha Walia (she/her) @HarshaWalia]

humble reminder to those focusing on "ceasefire." Don't also forget calls from Palestinians: refuse return to status quo & clearly demand end to current genocidal campaign, end to colonial occupation, BDS & anti-normalization of Zionist entity, stand with Palestinian resistance.

[Shaista Chishty @shaistographer]

THE SILENCE. We will not forget.
