Gutted by the death of Andrea Gibson. Thank you for showing up and for teaching me to listen to my bones. From “Birthday” -
I suppose I love this life, in spite of my clenched fist.

A powerful statement from 24-year-old Dutch Man City player Kerstin Casparij, who showed support for trans people by kissing her wristband after scoring 🏳️‍⚧️

Ex-Biden State Department official says even the Israeli military expected the US to only let them bomb Gaza for weeks, rather than unconditionally for a year and a half:
The history of America's unwillingness to sacrifice the profits of the U.S. defense industry to the rule of law, combined with the unique privilege enjoyed by the state of Israel, should have meant that U.S. support for Israel in the aftermath of October 7, 2023, was not surprising. Yet even the Israeli military expected the United States to allow them to carry out the indiscriminate bombing campaign only for a matter of weeks before reining in the scale of destruction, as the U.S. had repeatedly done in the past. Instead, the Biden administration violated American laws and bypassed Congress to rush an unprecedented $17.9 billion in weapons and security assistance to Israel, all while lying to the American public about working tirelessly toward a ceasefire.

Very proud of my alma mater for doing *something.* I look forward to more decisive action and advocacy from Tufts in support of Rümeysa Öztürk and to protect all students from fascist violence.

Fellow alums - please sign on to this petition with some other demands: shorturl.at/PYdC2

Not only did the president of Tufts University provide an excellent and strong declaration in support of a motion filed by Rümeysa Öztürk’s legal team in federal court. He providing an illuminating timeline of events around when she was seized by ICE.

Sunil Kumar's declaration is worth reading!
