Don’t think ppl understand the terror the Feds are unleashing on the streets of LA right now. Roving patrols targeting vulnerable individuals. It’s horrible.

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx
guy said, “Do you like Marx?” I said, “I haven’t met him.” Guy said, “No, no, he’s dead.” “Wow, what happened?” “No, no, he died long ago.” I thought the guy Marx had just died. So then, “Why are you asking me if he died long ago?” “No, he wrote a lot. He wrote that poor people should not be poor.” I said, “Sounds amazing.” I’m giving you a sense of how naïve I was. After they left, I went to the library to look for Marx. So that was my introduction to Karl Marx. BS: The FBI. MM: The FBI. Then, of course, I took a class on Marx. Couldn’t just get Marx out of the library. But,

Thinking about the academic promoters of AI who criticize kneejerk anti-AI sentiment—often by promoting very specific technical use cases— all while ignoring the fact that we are all pretty fucking familiar with actually existing AI and the way it is destroying entire fields of knowledge production.

Breaking! Film workers
across the globe are answering the call of our Palestinian colleagues, who urge the film industry to "do everything humanly possible" to end our complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza. Film workers: Join the call, sign the pledge: filmworkersforpalestine.org
#endingcomplicity
Multiple A-list filmmakers, including actors, are pictured, alongside headline text that says: “BREAKING: In a historic declaration, 1,200+ film workers launch pledge to not work with Israeli film institutions implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.” Film Worker Pledge to End Complicity: “As filmmakers, actors, film industry workers, and institutions, we recognize the power of cinema to shape perceptions. In this urgent moment of crisis, where many of our governments are enabling the carnage in Gaza, we must do everything we can to address complicity in that unrelenting horror. The world's highest court, the International Court of Justice, has ruled that there is a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza, and that Israel's occupation and apartheid against Palestinians are unlawful. Standing for equality, justice, and freedom for all people is a profound moral duty that none of us can ignore. So too, we must speak out now against the harm done to the Palestinian people.” “We answer the call of Palestinian filmmakers, who have urged the international film industry to refuse silence, racism, and dehumanization, as well as to "do everything humanly possible" to end complicity in their oppression. Inspired by Filmmakers United Against Apartheid who refused to screen their films in apartheid South Africa, we pledge not to screen films, appear at or otherwise work with Israeli film institutions-including festivals, cinemas, broadcasters and production companies-that are implicated* in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people. *Examples of complicity include whitewashing or justifying genocide and apartheid, and/or partnering with the government committing them.” Signed, Adam Bakri / Adam McKay / Aimee Lou Wood / Aki Kaurismäki / Alana Hadid / Alex Winter / Alia Shawkat / Alyssa Milano / Amanda Seales / Ambika Mod / Angeliki Papoulia / Annemarie Jacir / Arian Moayed / Asif Kapadia / Ava DuVernay / Ayo Edebiri / Bassem Yousef / Beatrice Dalle / Benedict Wong / Boots Riley / Brian Cox / Brian Eno / Carice Van Houten / Caveh Zahedi / Cherien Dabis / Crystal Moselle / Cynthia Nixon / Deborah Eisenberg / Debra Winger / Denise Gough / Emma Seligman / Eric Cantona / Esther Acebo / Eyal Sivan / Fernando Meirelles / Gael García Bernal / Gbenga Akinnagbe / Geeta Gandbhir / Hannah Einbinder / Hany Abu Assad / Harriet Walter / Ilana Glazer / Indira Varma / James Wilson / Janicza Bravo / Javier Bardem / Joe Alwyn / Joel Kim Booster / Josh O'Connor / Joshua Oppenheimer / Julie Christie / Juliet Stevenson / Kathleen Chalfant / Ken Loach / Khalid Abdalla / Lena Headey / Liam Cunningham / Lolly Adefope / Lukas Dhont / Mahdi Fleifel / Mai Masri / Marcia Cross / Mark Ruffalo / Maxine Peake / May Calamawy / Melissa Barrera / Mike Leigh / Miriam Margolyes / Morgan Spector / Nan Goldin / Natasha Rothwell / Olivia Colman / Olivia Williams / Paapa Essiedu / Paul Laverty / Peter Kosminsky / Peter Mullan / Poppy Liu / Rebecca Hall / Rebecca O'Brien / Richard Eyre / Riz Ahmed / Rob Delaney / Robyn Slovo / Ronan Bennett / Saleh Bakri / Samuel West / Sara Driver / Seamus McGarvey / Shirin Neshat / Susan Sarandon / Swann Arlaud / Taraneh Alidoosti / Tatiana Maslany / Terence Nance / Tilda Swinton / Tobias Menzies / Tracey Seaward / Tunde Adebimpe / Wallace Shawn / Xavier Dolan / Yorgos Lanthimos / Zawe Ashton... among many, many others.

Valerie Zink’s Reuters press pass, with the mention Reuters Contractor - Photographer, has been cut in half. On the photo, Valerie Zink, a white woman with dark blond hair, bangs, and a black turtleneck. For the past eight years I have worked as a stringer for Reuters news agency. My photos covering stories in the prairie provinces have been published by the New York Times, Al Jazeera, and other media outlets across North America, Asia, Europe, and elsewhere. At this point it's become impossible for me to maintain a relationship with Reuters given its role in justifying and enabling the systematic assassination of 245 journalists in Gaza. I owe my colleagues in Palestine at least this much, and so much more. When Israel murdered Anas Al-Sharif, together with the entire Al-Jazeera crew in Gaza City on August 10, Reuters chose to publish Israel's entirely baseless claim that Al-Sharif was a Hamas operative - one of countless lies that media outlets like Reuters have dutifully repeated and dignified. Reuters' willingness to perpetuate Israel's propaganda has not spared their own reporters from Israel's genocide. Five more journalists, including Reuters cameraman Hossam Al-Masri, were among 20 people killed this morning in another attack on Nasser hospital. It was what's known as a "double tap" strike, in which Israel bombs a civilian target like a school or hospital; waits for medics, rescue teams, and journalists to arrive; and then strikes again. Western media is directly culpable for creating the conditions in which this can happen. As Jeremy Scahill from Drop Site News put it, "every major outlet - from the New York Times to the Washington Post, from AP to Reuters - has served as a conveyor belt for Israeli propaganda, sanitizing war crimes and dehumanizing victims, abandoning their colleagues and their alleged commitment to true and ethical reporting." By repeating Israel's genocidal fabrications without determining if they have any credibility - willfully abandoning the most basic responsibility of journalism - Western media outlets have made possible the killing of more journalists in two years on one tiny strip of land than in WWI, WWil, and the wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, and Ukraine combined, to say nothing of starving an entire population, shredding its children, and burning people alive. The fact that Anas Al-Sharif's work won a Pulitzer Prize for Reuters did not compel them to come to his defence when Israeli occupation forces placed him on a "hit list" of journalists accused of being Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants. It did not compel them to come to his defence when he appealed to international media for protection after an Israeli military spokesperson posted a video making clear their intention to assassinate him following a report he did on the growing famine. It did not compel them to report on his death honestly when he was hunted and killed weeks later. I have valued the work that I brought to Reuters over the past eight years, but at this point I can't conceive of wearing this press pass with anything but deep shame and grief. I don't know what it means to begin to honour the courage and sacrifice of journalists in Gaza - the bravest and best to ever live - but going forward I will direct whatever contributions I have to offer with that front of mind.

Rashid Khalidi: I can’t honestly teach a course on middle eastern history under the terms of the IHRA definition of antisemitism adopted by Columbia under pressure from the Trump admin.

And so he won’t.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Columbia’s capitulation has turned a university that was once a site of free inquiry and learning into a shadow of its former self, an anti-university, a gated security zone with electronic entry controls, a place of fear and loathing, where faculty and students are told from on high what they can teach and say, under penalty of severe sanctions. Disgracefully, all of this is being done to cover up one of the greatest crimes of this century, the ongoing genocide in Gaza, a crime in which Columbia’s leadership is now fully complicit. – Rashid Khalidi
