'Say 'people with disabilities' rather than 'disabled people' because it's important to put the fact that you are people first.'

Mate, if you forget that I'm a person because I say 'disabled person' rather than 'person with a disability', that's very much a you problem.

Student uprisings have been right on nearly all justice issues in recent history. They were right about civil rights, women’s rights, Vietnam, South Africa, drug war, guns. Now, they’re right to denounce Israel’s genocide against Palestinians and US complicity in the slaughter.

For my organizing w/ SJP, I have been doxxed, chemically attacked by IOF soldiers, smeared online, followed by the nypd anti-terrorism unit, gotten brutalized by cops, been suspended, evicted, arrested. I am not exaggerating when I say there is nothing they can do to silence us.

I have never felt as unsafe as I have on Columbia’s campus as I have over the past six months while facing death threats, harassment from peers and professors, and racialized school surveillance. I finally feel safe again for the first time in the Gaza Solidarity Encampment. (1/)

Our team spent long hours reporting on and around Columbia’s campus on Thursday & Friday. I want to clear some stuff up. I didn’t see a single instance of violence or aggression on the lawn or at the student encampment. The student-led protest was peaceful and often very quiet…

Rise and shine from day five of Columbia University’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment.

While the far-right & Zionists break their backs demonizing the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia University as some volatile hotbed of terrorist activity, the reality is, of course, vastly calmer.

One student even brought his cat, named after Edward Said.

palestinian solidarity at campuses is beautiful and it is making me sick seeing people talk about it like it’s a “culture war” issue and not a direct response to young people witnessing a genocide.

Turns out the mushroom zombies from The Last of Us were the good guys, oops.

was on the train to Columbia to interview isra hirsi on Thur when she stopped replying; she had been arrested.

Mass graves discovered at Nassir hospital in Khan Younis containing 100s of Gazans & patients massacred & covered up by Israel

Over 190 bodies found, 100s more expected

Again, I CANNOT find a single headline in any mainstream media about this!
Imagine it was Ukraine? or Israel?

Waffles.

we have to understand that 30,000 dead must be a huge, huge undercount at this point & that the Israeli state has targeted Gaza's civil administration, health care workers, and journalists with the intent to obscure the scale of its crimes.

We often note the international coalition of murderers heading to Israel to kill Palestinians; on the other side is an equally international coalition of doctors and nurses and aid workers and ordinary people, like the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, trying to save innocent lives.

Newlywed Nerdeen Kiswani came to Gaza Solidarity Encampment from her wedding to give words of encouragement to students.

“We don’t want to wait for them to teach about our genocide 20 years later when we have the means & opportunities to stop it right now,” she said to the camp.

One my favourite protestor chanters in Urdu against the genocide of Gaza, for Palestinian liberation at Colombia University. Divest from funding the IOF Now!

“What do we want? Freedom!
For Palestine- Freedom!
It is our right- Freedom!
In Colombia- Freedom!
Modi listen-Freedom!”

an absolutely absurd number of cops at Columbia. I’m very worried about how they’re going to escalate things, given history.

this is what our tax dollars are going to instead of funding libraries or schools.
