I think the news that Palestinians in Gaza have found some of the bottles has catalysed what would be a new effort in Cyprus - but by all means even if it’s just a fantasy today, make it a reality tomorrow!

it’s mostly been through tiktok and Instagram but I will ask my fam if there’s a specific hashtag or something being used to field requests! I do know some people are using sites like windy dot com to read the currents as well

Some of the bottles of rice and formula and flour Egyptians threw into the sea have actually made it to Gaza - now people in Cyprus and Lebanon are joining the effort, with scientists from all over the world virtually assisting them in figuring the time and location to do so based on the currents. 💚

Palestinians being starved by Israel and the US and Egypt (etc etc) in search of the little food left in the soup kitchens and donation centres are forced first to queue
and then to fight.

They are starving our people to force our people to fight one another for survival.

ALWAYS give to Sameer Project. They're in Gaza, they're Palestinian, and they provide with dignity and respect.

Gazans often say that it's generally best to donate to individual fundraisers, that prominent orgs are nowhere to be seen in Gaza!--Except the Sameer Project which is consistently active.

mena studies scholars, no less. desperate to save face among the colleagues they respect.

Children so hungry and dehydrated they cannot even cry.

I wonder what all those tenured “militant radical” colleagues of mine are up to? Too busy during the school year stalking my social media to speak against the Palestine Exception in a senate meeting or support 130+ student protesters in conduct hearings, but I’m sure they’ll recenter themselves soon

“Israeli citizens living in abundance just half an hour’s drive away are mostly reacting to the disaster with indifference, denial or worse, continuing to justify nearly seven hundred days of unprecedented warfare as an appropriate response to Hamas’s assault”

The state of Israel is irredeemable.

the classic two-fer: recognition of a Palestinian state hand in hand with genocide denialism

should I link my canary mission page as my personal website in my faculty bio? not gonna lie , their intern def picked my flyest photos

Every diaspora Palestinian I know has been living with survivor’s guilt for 655 days. Guilt & shame for every glass of water, every bite of food, every shower, every daily annoyance, every moment of joy, every booboo we can kiss better, every sleep in our own beds. Our people are being slaughtered.

I’m guessing that Infantino video in which he says Trump was trying to steal the club World Cup trophy is entirely AI but DAMN what a dream it would be for anyone at FIFA not to be a fucking corrupt fuckboi for dictator money

Episode 2: The People V. UC: Thomas Harvey and Mark Kleiman - The Lower Frequencies Episode 2:  The People v. the UC: Thomas Harvey and Mark KleimanIn the first of a series on “The People v. The UC,” The Lower Frequencies welcomes movement lawyers Thomas Harvey and Mark Kleiman ...

Listen up to the movement lawyers defending ethnic studies in CA and so many of the UC students, staff, and faculty under attack by Zionist orgs (including our own Regents)!

Our universities have been only too happy to break international law by cultivating partnerships w/ Israeli institutions during a genocide.

Well, now it’s time to form genuine partnerships with Gaza’s 3 universities.

Unless all that talk about institutional neutrality was a lie.

now it’s true that pro-Pali folks are interpreting the film the same way… as though a mainstream Hollywood film would ever construct such an obvious parallel…so it remains true that analogy as the sole basis of either solidarity or critique is quite a thin logic [insert 3763 self citations here lol]

absolutely gagged how Zionists keep telling on themselves… they’re hella mad at the new *superman* movie bc there’s an apparently white-majority country oppressing an adjacent non-white-majority country and they just assume it’s an analogy for Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. lmfaooooo

omg you’re besties now

That’s not even to mention Adam Shitz’s awful Fanon book - the very first paragraph which is nearly a verbatim plagiarisation (of WOC scholars, natch) - but I honestly care more that folks do NOT buy this awful liberal Zionist book on the Israeli Black Panthers.

Socialism 2025 Socialism 2025 is a conference featuring dozens of panels, lectures, and workshops organized by groups from all over the country.

Hey @socialismconference.org attendees- you’re going to spot a book entitled the Israeli Black Panthers in the book exhibit, but please be forewarned it does not engage any existing writing or scholarship on the IBPs, and the author at a previous book talk celebrated the Naksa.

Honduras’ national squad is 10x hotter than Mexico’s, so sorry yall

Fuckin screeeaaaaaming: the BBC refused to air Kneecap’s Glastonbury set bc they were worried some anti-genocide shit would go down but the punk band Bob Vylan straight up led their entire audience in a “death death to the IDF” chant that was broadcast live on iplayer 🤣🤣

India Walton's Advice for Zohran Mamdani "I think that for him, the race 'til November needs to be staying on message—we can't start to water it down because we think it's going to attract a more moderate Democrat."

The last time a DSA-backed upstart overthrew an establishment Democrat in a NY mayoral primary, what happened next wasn't pretty. India Walton has some hard-won advice for Zohran Mamdani about what to expect, and how to handle it:

hellgatenyc.com/india-walton...

And Mamdani is a GOONER !? I should’ve stayed in New York….

if you are protesting now or in the future be safe and remember:

• do not announce you're attending online
• do not sign any online RSVP
• wear a mask
• wear clothes that don't draw attention
• leave your phone at home
• bring bottled water
• do not speak to cops
• do not post photos after

If there’s another draft I hope fragging enjoys a resurgence.
