Let’s be clear on what this is. This is a university president appointing himself sole arbiter of what counts as a peaceful protest, and deciding that one of the most peaceful protests I’ve ever seen is somehow a threat to public safety.

That’s how fascism operates, by the way.

BREAKING: Israeli settlers set fire to olive trees and agricultural crops in the village of Al-Mughayyir.

This is north of Ramallah, in the West Bank.

This is nowhere near Gaza. There is no Hamas in the West Bank.

It's a Genocide of Palestinians.

No proof was ever given to justify the absurd lie that Al Shifa Hospital was Hamas’ “command and control center”—a “story” that ran for months in Western rags—but now that THREE mass graves have been uncovered on its grounds, the media have suddenly lost interest in the hospital!

Hillary Clinton 2022 please meet Hillary Clinton 2024

Yep. Very similarly to the stranger danger panic, people will go 'but the statistics were right there, why didn't anyone believe them?!'

……….

Sure, she regrets saying it, she doesn’t regret thinking it and she definitely meant it. When someone shows you who they are, believe them, the first time.

a reminder that 1 ticket to the met gala could evacuate 10-15 people from Gaza. everyone here made their choice.

The entire Palestinian post-secondary system has been destroyed and I have not heard a peep about how Canadian universities are going to help Palestinian students come here, the way they did for Ukrainians.

Medical racism
Stress
Environmental pollution
Mothering everyone except ourselves
Did I mention stress?

Today a Palestinian MA student from the destroyed Al Azhar University successfully defended his MA thesis in a tent in Rafah. The student now plans to do a PhD in Education.

The university is now just cops and administrators. What stage of capitalistic hell is this?

israel shut down one of the only news outlets covering the genocide in gaza and its consequences as israel picks up its bombing in rafah

They didn’t rename the hall after a combatant, or an anti-Zionist, or an anti-Israeli…. They named it after the five year old who died alone and terrified, because Israel killed her family and the paramedics trying to reach her. Powerful witness and beautiful resistance

Democracy.

Segregation was legal. Slavery was legal. Don't use legality as a guide to morality.

I feel so alive. They're really not like us 🔥

one thing these past weeks demonstrate is the ease with which university presidents, provosts, executive teams , etc, blatantly lie. unceremoniously lie. willingly lie.

Biden is doing what y’all said Trump would do. Usher in authoritarianism. This is what pragmatism, centrism and liberalism eventually leads.
