Replying to @Spotify
@Spotify So now you're shoveling AI slop into my feed and mislabeling it as if it were a "song" by one of my favorite artists? News flash: NO ONE ASKED FOR THIS, least of all the artists whose streaming catalogs are now polluted by the soulless crap you're peddling.

Grateful to @AnetaBrockhill for inviting me to join her class at the University of Exeter today as part of their module on "Global Palestine and the Politics of Solidarity." This image from the University of Valencia played a key role in my presentation.

Could someone please hit "energize" and beam these clowns up to the great fascist spaceship in the sky?

As a longtime supporter of @WeAreNotNumbers, I wanted to share this intense update from a truly inspiring organization of Palestinian grassroots journalists. Please follow them on all social channels and support them financially if you are able to. mailchi.mp/8de3a07e82ab/we-a…

My latest translation over at @WeaveNews. Always a pleasure to help bring the work of Spanish analysts like @Fluengoe to a broader audience.

I am begging people - please read the statement before you re-post it excitedly as a victory for the movement. The universities haven't cut ties with anyone yet! Students here in Madrid and throughout Spain will keep the pressure on, as they should.

Comments by Jadaliyya Co-Editor @4Bassam at today's Press Conference (CAIR) on why students are protesting, held after the brutal dismantling of the GW Encampment last night by DC Police and the arrest of at least 30 students (part 1). Join him and Lisa Wedeen tomorrow at 3pm EST for a conversation with said students at the encampments at GW as well as Univ. of Chicago and beyond (for details: teapawt.net/jadaliyya/status…)

US establishment news outlets - your Spanish colleagues are covering stories like this. You should grow a spine and do the same.
Muyahid, palestino de Jabad (cerca de Jenin, Cisjordania) fue detenido hace tres años por tirar piedras a soldados israelíes. Terminó la condena pero le mantuvieron en la cárcel sin cargos. Ha sido golpeado y recluido en celdas de aislamiento. Antes de su detención practicaba fútbol y kárate. Tras su paso por la cárcel ha perdido el habla y no reconoce a su familia. No puede caminar solo. La familia dice que ha sido por las torturas. Hoy contamos su historia en @telediario_tve

The NYT, rapidly advancing its analysis into the early 2000s...
To many student protesters, the war in Gaza is linked to many issues, including policing, discrimination and global warming. Here's what student protesters across the country shared over the last week about how they view the fight for the Palestinian cause.nyti.ms/3UFm9Gt

Wow, things are getting serious. If this goes much further, he might even express "concern."
Blinken looks visibly pissed upon meeting with Netanyahu today.
