columbia administration is threatening to call in the national guard tonight

Here's the press release from the students

“It Is an Honor to Be Suspended for Palestine”

Dispatches from the Solidarity Encampment at Columbia University

https://crimethinc.com/Columbia2024

In this in-depth report, participants offer a blow-by-blow account of the events at Columbia, appraising the tactics that the demonstrators have employed and the challenges that they face.

since the white house put out a ridiculous statement condemning the protests i want to reiterate again that many of the students involved are jewish, there has always been a large jewish presence at these protests in nyc and in campus organizing for palestine

HAPPENING NOW: passover seder from our comrades in columbia's liberated zone/gaza solidarity encampment. this encampment is a profoundly religious space. we've seen muslim protesters praying multiple times a day, a christian communion was held, and multiple jewish prayers/celebrations have taken place. solidarity is a beautiful thing, palestine will be free.🖤🇵🇸

[id: a tweet from Arielle Angel @/ArielleLAngel with a photo of a large group of university students, most of whom are wearing surgical or kN95 masks, sit on a large tarp on the ground, inside of the circle formed by several tents. in the middle of the circle is a collection of several containers of food, a protest sign that reads, "pesach means solidarity and liberation" (note: pesach is the hebrew word for passover), and a person kneeling and holding up the seder plate, upon which can prominently be seen a boiled egg and a large orange. the tweet's caption reads, "Explaining the seder plate at the Colombia encampment. These students truly embody the meaning of Passover in their provisional seder and their commitment to liberation." /end id.]

Please don't forget Armenians

Today is Armenian genocide remembrance day. On april 24, 1915 started mass deportations of hundreds of Armenian intelectuals and community leaders, who were (most of the time) eventually killed. Armenian women and children were systematically r//ed and forcibly converted into islam. There were more than 2 milion Armenians in ottoman empire prior to ww1, 1,5 milion of them were viciously killed. Three millennia of Armenian civilaziation in eastern Anatolis was fully destroyed. Turkey today refuses to acknowledge genocides of christian minorities in early 20th century.

Do you know that mass ethnic cleansing of Armenians in ottoman empire inspired Lemkin to coin the term 'genocide'?

Last year in september azerbaijan allied with turkey initiated a war against Armenia. More that 5000 Armenians were murdered, thousands of Armenia families had to live their ancestrial land to not get murdered. There are hundreds of vids on internet where armenian p.o.w.s are tortured. Recently azerbaijan opened a "museum" displayind dead or dying Armenians and kids were allowed to visit it.

Please educate yourself on Armenian genocide. You can also donate here to help Armenia. Thanks for reading!!

This post is from 2021.

Last September, Artsakh was completely cleansed of its indigenous Armenian population. 3000 years of history were violently disturbed. Now the anti-Armenian propaganda and hatred is increasing and they are openly talking about taking over all of Armenia. Please take your time to read about these issues.

Dude that is too much slop for him

you sit down at the plastic table because your partner likes being outside at the bar even though it’s 90 degrees and 60% humidity at 10pm and you thought this corduroy dress was soooo cute but now youre all sweaty and so one of your balls has escaped your panties but youre wearing fishnets so your loose nut is now dying like a sea turtle in a six pack ring and youre the desperate diver trying to save it but blind and one handed and stone faced cause you can’t draw attention to the fact that youre doing a high stakes wildlife rescue on your stupid scrotum in public because it might turn into a six month news cycle and desantis might fly out to personally bulldoze the bar. and its a thursday

this post makes me feel like we’re the only survivors on a space station hurtling towards certain doom & this Really Big Ape is trying to reassure me that he’ll make it back home safe even if the station’s final escape pod can only fit me inside 

i’m holding back tears… thank you, reuben…

I Am The Final Escape Pod.

Are You Ready?

TODAY: students at cal poly humboldt are occupying a building, having barricaded themselves inside with furniture. im having a hard time finding information on this occupation, unsure if this is an encampment or not. many more encampments have popped up and im trying my best to put my feelers out everywhere!

Update!

The guy in this photo is called A'aed Abu Amro. Shortly after this image went viral, he was shot by Israeli Army but someone close to him said he was fine. I couldn’t find anything else about him, not even ways to support him directly. So I’m adding some relevant links to help as many people as we can:

Here’s a thread on twitter with GoFundMe links for Palestinians in need

The Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA)

Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF)

Medical Aid for Palestinians

You can find more links to support organizations here!

Please, if you can’t donate, consider taking 5 to 10 minutes to learn about the situation. I know is hard, but you don’t have to do it all at once.

Do you remember Mohammed El-Kurd? His interview with CNN went viral recently. His instagram is linked and you can find ways to support Sheik Jarrah through his linktree. Here’s a direct link for donations.
