New story from me in @StSpiritNews: "My Overdose Will Not Be Tragic," the exhibit at the Tenderloin Museum right now through August 27, tells the remarkable history of the early days of harm reduction in Santa Cruz at the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic https://t.co/kp1zT9iUdk

If you care about ALPR cameras - and you should - this is big news for California. LAPD & multiple sheriffs' departments are breaking the law by searching license plate reader databases on behalf of ICE. (Story via @OaklandPrivacy and @Calmatters) https://t.co/xOOHhhSAxE

NEW: Another student disappeared by ICE, this time at the University of Alabama

I'm taking Criminal Procedure right now in law school and this entire story makes my eyeballs pop out of my skull

The ethnic cleansing of Gaza is now official policy: No Palestinians will be allowed to live in N. Gaza

"This Day of the Dead, the Harvard Library opened the doors of its West Stacks Reading Room to all those hoping to 'gather to celebrate our departed loved ones' — except for those who had gathered there before to remember departed Palestinians." https://t.co/dLvOAm1RZ2

🧵Recap of Israel’s campaign of genocidal violence this weekend, presented in 12 acts. 1. “Settler Glastonbury” — @paraicobrien

Seldom have i seen more vague and indirect language. In this story, war "spreads." War "won't end." A date "sparks" conflict. But it's not a stumper. The war won't end because a regime wants to expand, people are profiting, & the US won't say stop. This is willful obfuscation

It's striking that there is such a crusade for free trade in manufactured goods, but so little for free trade in highly-paid professional services (e.g. doctors), and absolutely zero interest in reducing patent/copyright protection.

Does this include papers and lectures? So any paper at Columbia that researches or writes about zionism must do so in a positive way or it constitutes harassment?

the morally barren cruelty of murdering someone who spent their last months writing poetry to honor children surviving bombings and starvation outside his prison walls is breathtaking. rip marcellus khaliifah williams

Inbox: Cornell students allege yesterday was the “first [known] time a U.S. university has enacted deportation powers against a student” over pro-Palestine organizing, effectively deporting grad student Momodou Taal, over a protest of defense contractors at a job fair last week

Justice… you are taking too long

We wish we had better news. But as of now, #MarcellusWilliams is still scheduled to be executed by Missouri tonight at 6 p.m. central for a crime he is totally innocent of. ⁠ Don’t stop sharing his story. It’s not too late to save an innocent life.⁠ https://t.co/eofSDX66tC

There are backstage pictures and there are backstage pictures…

U.S. ally U.S. enemy

The Ministry of Health in Gaza has just published a 649-page document with the the name, age, gender, ID number of every Palestinian killed in Gaza from October 7 to August 31 that it has info for (over 34k out of 40k). The 1st 14 pages the age is listed as 0 (under 1 year old)

Just learned that Rio Tinto, one of the world's largest mining conglomerates, starts quarterly earnings calls with a land acknowledgement

again, this is a total lie. Without an arms embargo or credible threat thereof theres absolutely nothing to compel Israel to agree to a ceasefire, which is why the demand from activists––including NEA,UAW, SEIU––is to condition military aid. Which Biden/Harris flatly refuse to do

We secured a big ruling against SF's practice of seizing & destroying the survival belongings of homeless residents. Recognizing the likelihood of ongoing violations of the "bag & tag" policy, the Court granted our 2023 motion to enforce the preliminary injunction against SF.
