Email to Dean Mary Gallagher on Rescinding my Invitation to Notre Dame
Dean Gallagher–This is simply a case of censorship, to the injury of which you added the insult of a flimsy excuse. I was invited to give this speech in January. Are three months not enough of an adv...

I was scheduled to give a talk on Palestine at a student conference at @notredame.bsky.social. The University rescinded my talk a week in advance citing an extremely flimsy excuse. It is truly disgusting. Attached is the letter I received and my reply, link below...
Dear Dr. Abdelhadi, The Keough School of Global Affairs, which houses the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, recently learned of your keynote speech at their student conference next weekend. The University of Notre Dame requires that all events or lectures related to Israel/Palestine have ND Police security and planning. We were unaware of your planned lecture, and since this conference overlaps with two other annual events on campus, we cannot provide security at short notice. For this reason, we respectfully request that you do not participate in the conference. The Kroc Institute will honor any honorarium that was awarded for this event. We apologize for any inconvenience. Sincerely, Mary Gallagher -- Mary E. Gallagher Marilyn Keough Dean Keough School of Global Affairs University of Notre Dame

Worth sharing with alt text. Brian Eno's response to the Quaker arrests.
Brian Eno 2h. On the Arrest of Young People at a Quaker Meeting House Last night, six young people were arrested by police during a peaceful gathering at a Quaker Meeting House. They had assembled to talk, reflect, and organise around two issues of overwhelming moral gravity: the climate emergency, and the continuing destruction in Gaza. That the police chose to forcibly enter a Quaker space-a site known throughout history for its deep commitment to peace and nonviolence—is both alarming and telling. These young people were not disrupting the peace. They were enacting it. We live in a time where the greatest threats to our future go unchallenged by those in power, while those who speak out are increasingly met with suspicion, hostility, and force. When the state begins to treat moral concern as criminal intent, we should all be paying close attention. The people arrested last night were not extremists. They were citizens who care-young people who see the interconnected crises of climate collapse and human suffering and refuse to turn away. They gathered not in violent defiance, but in peaceful conscience. I stand with them. I believe their voices are not only valid, but vital. If the institutions meant to protect us cannot bear to hear these voices, then it is not the protesters who are disrupting order—it is the silence of those who look away. - Brian Eno

So let me get this straight. Congressman who calls for nuking Gaza demands records on students who oppose his position so he can expedite their deportations? And Pomona is complying?
From the piece: The letter was signed by committee chair Tim Walberg. At a town hall in March 2024, Walberg advocated for using force similar to the atomic bombings of Japan during WWII to end Palestinian resistance. "We shouldn't be spending a dime on humanitarian aid ... It should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Get it over quick," he said.

Instead of shouting, the people stood in absolute silence, lining the streets in black. No slogans, no chants—only a wall of defiance. The dictator watched from his balcony, unnerved. He feared what he couldn’t hear. PowerOfThePeople
