Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.
Early last semester, Droubi said, students began approaching Cheyfitz with complaints that a graduate student in the “Gaza, Indigeneity, Resistance” class appeared to be recording them, possibly to “gather their names and comments” and intimidate them. “We believe that a student came to the course for the sole reason of surveilling and potentially harming students in the class,” Droubi said. “That ended up proving itself to be true because multiple students came forward and shared their concerns with Professor Cheyfitz.” Cheyfitz said one Palestinian student quit the class after telling him she felt upset and frightened.

According to Cheyfitz, the graduate student often steered conversations away from the assigned readings—which at that point mostly focused on definitions of genocide and international law on Indigenous rights—to defend Israel’s conduct in the war in Gaza and argue with others in the class. “He clearly had not done the readings,” Cheyfitz said. “It was disruptive.”

Cheyfitz said he met with the graduate student in late January and spoke to him about concerns from his classmates. During the conversation, he asked the graduate student to drop the course, and by the next class, he did, Cheyfitz said. The graduate student, Oren Renard, a PhD candidate in computer science whose identity was confirmed by other students in the class, previously served in Israel’s elite military surveillance agency, Unit 8200, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Urge your Members of Congress to call for an end to Netanyahu’s intentional starvation of over two million people in Gaza. Elected officials from both parties must force the issue with Trump’s administration with demands to lift aid restrictions and allow trusted third parties to distribute food.
Tell Congress: Gaza aid must flow freely and safely
The intentional starvation of Palestinians in Gaza is so cruel and dire that even Donald Trump has said it must stop, but words are meaningless without action. The Trump administration has the power t...

60 years ago, the Voting Rights Act (VRA) promised to protect every American’s voice at the ballot box. Today, that promise is fading.

As it marks its 60th birthday, we may be witnessing its last.

Institutions like CBS obey in advance because they benefit from doing so. Our job as organizers in a time of authoritarian breakthrough is to create countervailing pressure.

The NWS is doing a test run of using Bluesky.

www.weather.gov/media/notifi...
The NWS is soliciting comments through January 26, 2026, on the potential 
utility of Bluesky in the NWS mission. Bluesky is a social media 
platform that can provide a way for the NWS to share posts providing 
additional information that is complementary to official NWS products and 
outreach information. For a limited time, NWS will be engaging in a 
prototype activity to examine the potential utility of this social media 
platform to support operations.
This prototype effort will utilize a national NWS Bluesky account, with 
posts being publicly visible via the following NWS Bluesky account page: 
https://bsky.app/profile/nws.noaa.gov .
Additional information on the prototype use of Bluesky can be found at 
the following link:
https://nsdesk.servicenowservices.com/api/g_noa/nwspc/res2/d664da9797aa62
148881bb7de053af4f
The prototype period will last approximately through January 26, 2026. 
Based on the findings, NWS will determine whether to continue to pursue 
use of Bluesky at field offices. If NWS decides to pursue use of Bluesky 
and offer this service on a more consistent basis, another Public 
Information Notice announcing an experimental implementation date will be 
sent.
Bluesky content and response to real-time comments will be provided on a 
time-available basis. Users should not rely on this service as the 
primary means of receiving NWS information about hazardous weather 
conditions. Users should tune to NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards (NWR) or 
local/national media sources for the latest critical information. NWS 
alerts and warnings are also available on the official NWS website:
