Our friend Mahmoud Haniyeh speaks with heartbreak: “I am grateful that my son didn’t live to endure this hell in Gaza. He was torn into small pieces by the missiles, and he didn’t remain under the rubble, waiting for someone to lift him, only to die of suffocation. I am lucky

Here's a non-paywalled link to the Neil Gaiman article. It's an important read, but definitley not a light one - an unfathomably harrowing account of sexual abuse. In a just world, neither Gaiman nor Amanda Palmer would know another day's peace. archive.ph/79BtW

Palestinian children celebrating the ceasefire. My heart is so full. 🥹

As we wait for the final update on the ceasefire agreement, the Israeli military is intensifying shelling in south Gaza while bombing the north of the West Bank. A warmongering regime.

BREAKING: 15 Native Americans in NM and AZ were stopped by ICE and asked to prove their citizenship. This isn’t immigration enforcement; it’s blatant racial profiling against the very people who have called this land home for thousands of years.

“My husband was kidnapped from our home. I demand his immediate release and return to our family.” The attorneys of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil read a statement from his wife, who is eight months pregnant, outside the New York court in Manhattan.

It would be extremely valuable to have a joint statement by as many university Presidents as possible saying they will not comply with any federal requirement that intrudes on academic freedom or free speech and condemning this letter as a wholesale assault on the core of both.

Impressively fast to turn the antisemitism witch hunt on a Jewish labor leader

"Mr. Khalil felt as though he was being kidnapped. He was reminded of prior experience fleeing arbitrary detention in Syria and forced disappearance of his friends in Syria in 2013. It was shortly after this that Mr. Khalil left Syria." There is no more damning indictment.

If I die, I am not a number, I am a planet in itself, I have dreams and ambitions that I wanted to achieve. Don't forget me in your prayers and keep talking about me

This is a massive violation of academic freedom and institutional independence, and it sets a terrible precedent. Columbia’s administration has chosen cowardice, and in doing so, has guaranteed that many other institutions will be next. Let’s hope they have the gumption to fight.
