if the power of the state is behind you, you are not being persecuted, you are not unsafe, you are not at risk

I had the honor of seeing the Columbia University anti-war encampment firsthand.

Contrary to right-wing attacks, these students are joyfully protesting for peace and an end to the genocide taking place in Gaza.

I’m in awe of their bravery and courage.

incredibly seated.

‘If she rather be arrested for fighting for Palestine, I’d be the happiest daddy’

In the midst of the horrors of Gaza’s mass graves, wailing Palestinian mothers & this country’s genocidal zeal, what a blessing to hear this father roar for his daughter & roar for Palestinians.

the actual encampment at Columbia—i'm here after teaching my final class of the semester—is downright tranquil, impossibly sweet. there is a 'nut zone' for the safety of kids with allergies.

hearing a lot of '*cough* mass graves *cough*' in mainstream american media today

Reporter: Evidence at Gaza mass graves show torture and signs of being buried alive, Palestinians called for an independent investigation, what’s wrong with that?

Patel: We’re asking Israel

Reporter: You’re asking the accused to investigate itself?

Patel: We’re asking Israel

All those students are protesting this. Don’t let anyone try and tell you otherwise or distract from the realities of what is happening in Gaza.

How are news outlets dedicating wall-to-wall coverage to campus protests, but not the discovery of mass graves in Gaza of people with their hands tied & clothing stripped?

Why do we not know more?

Where are the journalists and resources being dedicated to that story?

Mass graves uncovered in Gaza show victims’ hands were tied before they were killed and buried. Among the dead are doctors, zip tied and still wearing their scrubs.

oh my god great news

If you support how these folks voted, I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to let them know.

They will be under relentless pressure and attack. It is important to show support - on the inside, it can often feel like there isn’t.

Call, write, post. It makes a difference.
