“Do not let imaginary borders and fascist nations tell you it doesn’t matter because it’s happening ‘over there.’ All struggle is connected, all movements dire. Direct action is imperative.” A short and powerful read: https://t.co/5E4DQNTWla

Liberal Zionists can't read the room, can they? Of course there are medievalists involved... As their colleagues (us!) call for an academic boycott of Israeli institutions, they're more than happy to be platformed by them. You can't "both-sides" your way out of a genocide.

"Medieval studies need instead to move politically to a place of radicality, one that would, unlike liberalism, align itself coherently with the work of dismantling the violent and unjust structures in which we think, work, and live." – Seeta Chaganti https://t.co/GAL3Zw6R4e

We asked SFSU, UC Berkeley, and Cal Poly Humboldt pro-Palestine encampment organizers to reflect on last year's campus movement. With SFSU being the only campus that secured a victory, it's clear that worker and student solidarity is key to winning. https://t.co/0tMakUGqqM

Hey hey hey MAA How's that portfolio doing today? If a gigantic global company like Maersk can try to distance itself from genocide, why can't you divest?

Just a reminder as their deadline for next year rolls around… MAA STILL HASNT DIVESTED FROM GENOCIDE. They think tossing “Palestine” at the end of their CFP can stand in for material change. Withhold your work and membership dues from the MAA! No abstracts until divestment.

I cannot begin to tell you how much community labor went into filing this. It is, to date, the largest civil rights suit filed in defense of Palestine solidarity activism on a university campus. For more information, also see: https://t.co/TNjygc6iIp

@PENamerica @awpwriter A major part of boycott movements have always been about creating alternatives for people. There’s not enough serious thought going into that.

Israel has killed ~500 Gazans since Wednesday. If you're conducting business as usual, you're part of the problem. It’s not too late to disrupt #MAA2025 programming, walk out of events, and join the push for divestment.
