Update Harvard students are walking out in solidarity with Columbia’s students

These are billion dollar for profit institutions that directly impact financial backing of Israel’s apartheid regime

MIT is walking out! Do you not understand how huge this is? Do you understand what holds Israel afloat?

In solidarity with Columbia Yale students have just constructed an encampment. Organizers say they won’t leave until Yale divests from all military weapons manufacturing.

ID: [A tweet in Arabic by Mohammad Zeidan @mszeidan. Below his tweet there is an automated translation of his post that reads:

“lt is easy to talk.. But death is not normal for a Palestinian, for his family, his mother, his father, his beloved, his brothers, and his children. Death is not normal for them, death conquers, and they cry. The death of the Palestinian/Arab has become normal for us, not for them. Their death is a testimony, it is true, but this is not what life should be, nor is the desired fate. This is a massacre.”

This tweet was posted on January 26, 2023 in reference to a massacre happening in Jenin] END ID.

Jeff Bezos's Amazon and Elon Musk's SpaceX are both fighting in court to have the National Labor Relations Board declared unconstitutional. Starbuck's and Trader Joe's joined them in separate lawsuits. All of these companies have a disgraceful history of worker abuse and union busting. All of them have been charged by the NLRB with hundreds of violations of workers’ organizing rights The NLRB is standing up to their union busting. That’s why they’re trying to destroy the NLRB. I'm going to do my best to keep you all informed about this case as it snakes its way through the courts. The future of unions may depend on the final verdict. http://dlvr.it/T49LM1

half of Americans not even knowing more Palestinians than Israelis have died by now is one of those facts that's going to haunt me until I die

Blaming the American public at large for such catastrophic ignorance is warranted, USAmericans have historically thrived in ignorance of our own foreign policy, as there is little immediate material interest in caring for the plight of colonized people for those in the imperial core, however such a massive level of ignorance has to be nurtured and encouraged.

For a topic that has received as much coverage as it has for 6 months to have granted the American public no more wisdom than a coin toss, obfuscation has to be intentional. In press conferences, public appearances by elected officials, and news reports alike, the Israeli death toll has been emphasized and eulogized countless times while the Palestinian death toll has been questioned, denied, minimized, justified, and alluded to in when possible only the vaguest terms.

American ignorance is as much a policy choice as the bombs we send Israel.

I don't buy that there's a rift between Biden and Netanyahu. You don't sign a bill like this one day

and claim there's a growing rift between the two countries the next day.

It's all political theatre, just like the ceasefire resolution the US tried to pass last week. It's meant to convince everyone who is angry at Biden over Gaza that he's really going to hold Netanyahu to account this time.

The US is still working with Israel to destroy Gaza by providing money weapons, building that port (with rubble from Palestinian homes), and destroying the UNRWA.

Don't stop applying pressure on the Biden administration. Who knows how long we have until Rafah is invaded. Don't ease up under the believe that this time the US will finally stop supporting Israel.

if i had written a story about a woman who was radicalized to socialism by the sight of blind beggar children. while traveling with a fuckboy who was gambling away all their money. and someone adapted that story. and changed it so that it was the woman who lost all the fuckboy's gambling winnings. when she was scammed like an idiot while trying to give that money to the blind beggar children. i can only speak for myself. but i might rise from the grave and tear that person limb from limb
