Ohio State changes policy on group conferences after Trump administration threats
A federal investigation into potentially discriminatory practices at Ohio State prompted the university to change its policies regarding conferences.
The attack on our colleagues’ academic freedom, and anything to do with race and diversity, is in full force at OSU.
Obeying in advance once again, OSU is now withdrawing support for scholars studying topics and attending relevant conferences that the federal government doesn't like.

Portfolio of Stolen Memories
Palestine Square
Diaspora scatters stories, but memory refuses erasure. In “Portfolio of Stolen Memories,” Rand Abdalqader weaves poems, heirlooms, invoices, and oral histories into an anticolonial archive of her Palestinian family’s life before and after the Nakba.

You Don’t Get Trump Without Gaza
Fascism doesn’t just appear. It must be invited in—and the bipartisan repression of the anti-genocide movement did just that.

Dr. Helyeh Doutaghi is an internationally recognized and published scholar of international law, political economy, and armed conflict and the Deputy Director of the Law and Political Economy Project at Yale Law School.
Based on unsubstantiated allegations, Yale has banned her from campus- a blatant attack on freedom of speech and academic freedom.”

🚨 #StandwithHelyeh! 🚨
Yale suspended & banned Dr. Doutaghi from campus after false & racist allegations about her in an Al-generated article surfaced on an anonymous website. Now, Yale Law is targeting her for her Palestinian solidarity.

Israel has bombed Lebanon practically every day for months.
After endless Israeli ceasefire violations, someone in south Lebanon fired a rocket, so now Israel is bombing the capital Beirut.
Israel’s rules are simple: “we’re mobsters who do whatever we want, & see what happens if you object.”

The new documentary "The Encampments" gives an inside look to one of the biggest protest movements in U.S. history.
“Most of the coverage of the encampments to date has been from people who actually never even set foot on the encampments,” says producer Munir Atalla.

Last night, ICE agents ambushed and detained Rumeysa Ozturk, a Fulbright scholar at Tufts University, outside her Somerville home. Ozturk’s abduction comes after she was targeted and doxxed by the extremist group Canary Mission over her activism for Palestinian rights and freedom. Neighbors report that unmarked vehicles had stalked her for two days before the arrest.
Ozturk is just one of 370 people ICE has arrested in Massachusetts in just the last week. In recent weeks, many of our leaders have said they would defend us against the Trump administration’s threats to “bring hell” to Boston. Today, we demand the immediate release of Ozturk, and for all our elected officials to match their words with action.
Now is the time to stand up and protect our communities. While Trump and the Heritage Foundation claim they are targeting students in the name of making Jews less safe, we know that threats, violence, and deportation do not make Jews safer and instead put us all in greater danger.
We will make our demands heard until all of us are safe; until all of us are free. Find your courage, stand with your community, and do not back down in the face of authoritarianism.
IfNotNow Boston calls for the immediate release of Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk. It is time for our elected leaders in Massachusetts to match their words with action and #ProtectUsAll.

We represent many, many Jews who are furious about Rumeysa Ozturk’s kidnapping by armed ICE agents over an op-ed she wrote in a student newspaper. Meanwhile this man, who claims to speak for the Boston Jewish community, can’t even say her name.

Basic Reforms to New York’s Legal Code Are At Risk as Democrats Lurch Rightward
In 2019, New York made it easier for defendants to learn about information used against them. That could now be revoked.
New York lawmakers passed a suite of criminal legal system reforms in 2019, including the elimination of cash bail for non-violent felony charges and an overhaul of the state’s discovery laws, which govern how parties share evidence before a trial. Now Kathy Hochul is willing to gut these changes.

This is intentional and no other country is stopping it. And it sets a precedent where all journalists are treated as combatants in other global conflicts. it’s a playbook for no one having information about what’s going on.

THREAD🧵1/ Thanksgiving is marketed as a time for gratitude, but its roots lie in genocide. As Americans celebrate on stolen Indigenous land, their taxes fund another genocide abroad—in Gaza, where Palestinians are being slaughtered by Israel.
