Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody.

Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.

how did ICE know where to find Mahmoud Khalil, and who will they go after next? I wrote about the vast surveillance network that powers ICE arrests, and the Zionist groups making deportation wishlists for the agency:

"The fact is, the battle over “DEI” has always been a fight about labor, work, and who has access to the jobs and political institutions that build and protect wealth. If we ever forgot that, we’re learning it again now."

Let's not mince words:
Mahmoud Khalil was abducted and disappeared, without consideration of rule of law, by an authoritarian regime intent on crushing dissent and criticism.

Free Mahmoud Khalil.
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

There's a lesson to be learned for university management and admin in Sweden (too).
Columbia called the cops on students— *like trump wanted*— & this is how Trump responds.

One should never comply with evil, but if even your complicity with evil will not save you— & it will not— then why comply?

Do not comply; not in advance, not at all. Fight for the right thing, no matter what.

Columbia University sold out to fascists and brutally cracked down on kids whose only sin was opposing genocide.

The fascists threw the University under the bus anyway.

I feel like there's a lesson in there about complying with fascism.

Violent misogyny has been and is going to be an animating force in younger generations of the far right.

And until we actually start acknowledging that and treating it as the extremist hate it is, it will continue to function as a virtually unchallenged avenue of fascist radicalization.
