Why are Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and Summer Lee perfectly capable of being on the right side of the vote but you're not?

Every single student activist who I have spoken to has made the point that the Biden/Harris administration laid the groundwork for the escalation we're seeing under Trump. There is no disputing that. This is what the crackdown on protests looked like under Biden: theintercept.com/2024/10/23/u...

BOWDOIN ENCAMPMENT🧡

From Bowdoin SJP statement:

This encampment is the first of its kind since
the start of the Trump administration. Trump has vowed his unequivocal support for Israel's genocide, most recently calling for the United States to ethnically cleanse and annex Gaza. Today, we say enough. It is unacceptable that our endowment and our tax payer money bankrolls the elimination of Palestinian life. As Israeli aggression obliterates Palestinian homes and guns down children in Jenin, as unspeakable suffering continues in Gaza, and as America slides farther into fascism every day, we ask - what type of institution does Bowdoin want to be?

Ngā mihi to our friends at J4P Aotearoa for their words:

Scenes from yesterday’s march for Palestine through downtown Minneapolis.

Hundreds turned out to show that the movement doesn’t stop with the ceasefireβ€”we will keep organizing for divestment from Israel & the U.S. imperialist machine that supports it, until Palestine is free.

Watching these fighters greet some of the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians returning to north Gaza, I think the nakba would never have succeeded if there had been an effective local resistance movement in 1948.

Mapping 1,800 Israeli settler attacks in the West Bank since October 2023 An average of four incidents of settler violence have taken place each day in the occupied West Bank since October 7.

From October 7, 2023 to December 31, 2024, at least 1,860 incidents of Israeli settler violence in the occupied West Bank were recorded – an average of four a day according to data from the @unocha.org. My hometown of Nablus has been especially affected.

Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs, Amichai Chikli, who previously issued threats against the Hind Rajab Foundation's president Dyab Abou Jahjah, has canceled his scheduled visit to Brussels, citing "security concerns." We believe this move is more about avoiding accountability than safety.

I was supposed to discuss our book *The End of College Football* tonight in Washington, DC.

I won't be there because I was denied entry to the United States.

They refused to say why; my best guess is some combo of the inauguration, politics, Palestine, and maybe, a new normal.
