At least 70 authors have now dropped out of @PENAmerica events in an unprecedented act of solidarity with Palestinian writers.

Today we are announcing an alternative event to mark this collective action, to hear from these authors and from writers from Gaza.

Join us at Judson…

It’s come to this…

“Can you call the philosophy department and tell them I’ve been arrested?”

We are witnessing something truly amazing. I am moved to tears at this solidarity, and I'm grateful that every encampment is keeping the focus on what matters: stopping the genocide.

The best version of the 'flipped classroom' pedagogy I've ever seen.

A lot of folks forget/never bothered learning about the harassment and demonization Arab Americans faced after 9/11. We know every gaslighting smear campaign in the playbook. We see through all of this, and thank God others do too.

This statement from Emory University protestors is incredible.

“They’ll say we’re disturbing the peace, but there is no peace. What really bothers them is that we are disturbing the war.” Howard Zinn 1971

No, Mr. Netanyahu. It is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 – 70% of whom are women and children.

You will not distract us from this immoral war.

Every so often I’m reminded of how, after the police killing of Michael Brown, Palestinians shared with Ferguson protestors how to take the sting out of tear gas.

College students tear up campus after a football game or abuse pledges during hazing, but a bunch of valedictorians reading poetry on the lawn necessitates the police to be brought in. Surreal.

More than 300 bodies found in a mass grave at Nasser Hospital in Gaza, including children executed with their hands tied behind their backs.

Children. Executed. With their hands tied.

We are witnessing a genocide, and the International Criminal Court is nowhere to be found.

Brilliant.

One interesting tell.

The Zionists who attack me for 'brainwashing' my (brilliant, 20something) daughter never seem to imagine that the teaching flow was in the other direction. My understanding of and politics around Palestine are very much the product of her guidance.

I just love that the media is trying to shift the attention away from Gaza & the genocide, & every protestor they interview are making sure that Gaza & Palestinians are at the centre of the discussion - which is why they are protesting

Solidarity to staff & students on campus

Bus drivers refused to transport protestors from last night's Seder in the Streets to the precinct, forcing cops to drive the busses. Power and solidarity to the union bus drivers with twu 100 who refuse to collaborate with the NYPD, which commandeers MTA busses for mass arrests.

If you think these students are 'out of control' and 'behaving badly,' wait until you hear about how our president has been funding a genocide for 200+ days.

Please stop whatever you're doing and read this.

The strength of Palestinian women is humbling and inspiring. 🇵🇸❤️🙏

With a heavy heart I announce that my 18-year-old younger sister, Lara Sayegh, was killed today on her way from Gaza City to the south. She and my mother were reaching Egypt for safety. My angel collapsed as she was walking on the “safe route” past the Israeli checkpoint, in an…
