in light of police across the country cracking down on pro palestine protests with brutal force, it feels like a great time to remind everyone to shut the fuck up around cops. don't make small talk, dont act friendly, don't fucking engage with them!! if you are arrested DO NOT speak without a lawyer present. protest organizers, get into contact with local pro bono lawyers who can be there for your arrested comrades. no matter what, if cops are there, shut the fuck up unless you are actively doing a protest chant. dont tell cops why you were there, dont tell them if you're affiliated with the school you may be protesting at, dont tell them if you came there with anyone, dont tell them anything!!!

The Turk family is stuck in Gaza under threat of bombardment as well as sickness and famine. Their lives and their home were stripped away from them by the occupation. Any help you can give would go a long way.

You can check in with Ahmad on his tumblr @ahmadturk00 and twitter @/ahmadturk_

Aseel Al Turk also frequently posts updates on the situation on her twitter @/aseelalturkk .

Below is a video of Aseel describing the Turk family's situation as well:

Would you "vote blue no matter who" folks vote for Biden if he was going to make gay marriage illegal? After all, Trump would be worse. Would you vote for Biden if he was going to ban abortion? After all, he'd still be the lesser of two evils. Or is it just other people's lives you'd trade away?

one time i told a guy with a huge punisher decal on his car that i loved the punisher but that i'm too scared to have any of his merch because in the current political climate i wouldn't want people to think i support killing police and the man had. no response whatsoever. he was smiling and completely frozen in place. i'd never seen anyone bluescreen that hard

do with this information what you will

It is not "just an opinion" and we cannot "agree to disagree" WHEN IT IS LITERALLY THE LIVES OF PEOPLE. GENOCIDE. ETHINIC CLEANSING. ISRAEL DOING WAR CRIMES WITH THE USA'S HELP.

i took this photo on friday on Indiana University’s Dunn Meadow, our designated “free speech” zone. we have been protesting in solidarity with columbia and other universities calling for IU to divest. Many of you have probably already seen an image of a sniper positioned on the top of the Indiana Memorial Union, pointed toward the peaceful protestors. You may have also heard that administration has sent in SWAT and riot police to intimidate us into silence on Gaza. they have arrested over 50 students and faculty now. i have personally had two close friends arrested. you may have also heard of the anti-Black reasoning for sending in militarized police: that one of our active organizers was deemed suspicious purely due to the fact of his Blackness. we have been protesting peacefully since thursday, and have been met with sustained resistance from Chabad agitators who have blasted shitty EDM over Jewish seder as well as Muslim prayer. they have been joined by college republicans, antisemitic antagonists, provocateurs, and as you can see, white supremacists waving the thin blue line and proud boy flags. out and proud white supremacist nazis. these are the forces that stand against Palestinian liberation. these are the forces that back Zionism. it is so important to stand up and fight back against them. please. join an encampment if you have one near you. join us in solidarity if you can. if you can’t physically join the protests then i encourage you to donate to bail funds or find out what is needed locally. donate to helping protestors have food and water. it is so beyond important we do anything we can in the name of palestinian liberation.

Dr. Areej, Dr. Ahmad, and their child Sarra are a Gazan family who have been suffering from displacement, hunger, and lack of medical care throughout the genocide. Along with three other members of their family — Dr. Areej's mother and Dr. Ahmad's mother and father — they are seeking to evacuate to Egypt.

Please donate what you can and share. Donations have been slow — as of March 10, they have not yet raised even $2000. Can we try to raise at least $1000 in the next few days?

A brilliant graphic from protectpalestineorg — 30 universities with the largest endowments in the USA , currently hosting encampments to protest against their institutions investments in the State of Israel. Harvard University contributing the most in Israeli investments, totalling $50 billion.

After a successful hunger strike in February, Darthmouth (New Hampshire) has begun a divestment process.

As of April 28th there are currently no encampments at: John Hopkins (MD), UVA (VA) and Notre Dame (IN).

People justify centering Aaron Bushnell’s death in any way they can as if one of—if not the main—reason that this genocide has gone on for too long boils down to the west seeing Arab lives as inherently lesser than that of white lives. That is literally precisely the problem. That is literally why it should be addressed. Criticizing people’s fixation with his self-immolation over the (still ongoing) death of innumerable Palestinians is not being frivolous. This is the root of the issue.

saw a sign that said "honor aaron bushnell, free palestine" and man. why don't we honor the 40,000+ palestinians martyred in the last 200+ days. why don't we honor the palestinians who israel has maassacred in the last 75+ years. why don't we honor the palestinian villages wiped off the map. why don't we honor the entire lineages whom israel murdered. idk maybe yall need to think about why it took a white man self immolating for you to care about palestine!
