The silence of our institutions is damning and put colleagues speaking out must be supported by our movement.

"In 24 months of genocide, not a single US hospital has condemned the Israeli military’s bombing of 36 hospitals in Gaza or the unlawful abduction, torture, and targeted assassinations of nearly 2,000 Palestinian healthcare workers and first responders."

A tan background with black and red text reads, "US hospitals that continue to prohibit any teaching on Palestinian lived experiences during this genocide are enacting the erasure that fuels the very genocide they refuse to acknowledge."

This also means that any media outlets not calling it “genocide” are openly disregarding the United Nations btw

Prem Thakker ツ @premthakker.bsky.social · 26d

It’s official: the United Nations Commission of Inquiry concludes Israel is committing genocide.

The UN body calls on nations to stop sending weapons to Israel, ensure people within their jurisdiction aren’t aiding or inciting the genocide, and hold those who are accountable.

🚨T is coming off hunger strike. This strike was a win - she won nearly all her demands, built momentous international solidarity & exposed who's behind the targeted abuse of the Filton 24: the zionist-inspired "Joint Terrorism Extremism Unit."

@bdsboston.bsky.social were joined by CIR-SEIU outside Mass General Hospital for a surprise picket continuing the demand for the CEO of Lockheed Martin to be removed from the MGB board of directors. A hospital board is no place for a genocidal war profiteer!

Israel bombed and murdered the Prime Minister of Yemen along with several cabinet members, and there is zero outrage in Western media… it’s barely even a story. The level of impunity is breathtaking.

Will you introduce a senate version of the Block the Bombs Act (HR 3565) to block the Trump administration from delivering major US weapons to Israel to use in the mass killing of Palestinians?

It is wild that the US and European governments that most vocally claim to support press freedom are openly supporting, arming and funding a proxy regime that targets and murders journalists *as a matter of policy*.

It truly is amazing to see how easily “radical” scholars accept the meager rewards academia has to offer than to live with dignity knowing they did everything to stand up against genocide.

They shot all the poets and poetry professors in Gaza. Now they're arresting them in the UK. This is the imperial boomerang in action

James Oswald @sirbenfro.bsky.social · Aug 22

They arrested my sister=in-law Alice, and have threatened her with up to 14 years in prison. She was until recently Oxford Professor of Poetry, so clearly a violent threat to the country. This is sadly the age of post-shame politics.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re minding your business, fighting back, or hiding somewhere quietly—tyranny comes for everyone.”

Columnist @williamcson.bsky.social rejects the fear-motivated calls for obedience to President Trump's police occupation of Washington, D.C. No, you cannot hide from fascism.

Another way out: Hiding and obedience won't stop fascism

By being obedient to the point of giving up all self-determination, we’re poised to return to what many before us fought to overturn

They were complicit in manufacturing consent for the US-Isra*li genocide in Palestine and were thus compromised and bought out long before the current administration

Textbook coup maneuvers.

Seize the ports/ points of entry, capture the broadcasters, take the palace.

The legacy / public media in the capital city has been captured/severely damaged. Our most seasoned journalists and trusted voices in DC being bought out, pushed out, or leaving the profession.

Democrats, including those eyeing a 2028 presidential run, are flailing as it becomes clear that supporting Israel is now a political loser. While politicians navigate this new terrain, pro-Israel groups are scrambling to rebuild liberal support.
