AHA vetoes resolution on scholasticide in Gaza. Rather than putting the resolution to a vote of the entire organization, they chose to disillusion a generation of their most active members. Drawbridges raised once again to protect the shrinking kingdom. historians.org/news/business-…

My heart is stirring. How do we begin to process the heartbreak? How do we reconcile the staggering loss, the unimaginable pain, and the deep scars that will persist long after the ceasefire is over? It didn’t need to take this long. 1/6

Drop Site News is calling on the US @StateDept to demand immediate information about Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s whereabouts and to take action for his release. Please sign the petition urging the U.S. government to secure Dr. Abu Safiya’s safe return. actionnetwork.org/forms/tell-the…

🚨Breaking: Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital: “Now the occupation army is burning all the operating departments in the hospital while we are still here. The Army evacuated the entire medical staff and the displaced people and arrested a number of the medical staff. There are a large number of injuries among the medical staff.” A video shared with Drop Site by a medical source in Gaza shows men stripped down to their undergarments being marched on foot to a location away from the hospital.

The precedent set today should upset every American who believes in our democratic form of government. It appears that from now on no major legislation can be passed without the approval of the wealthiest person in this country. That’s not democracy, that’s oligarchy.

President Biden now has only five weeks left to grant my pardon request. It’s time to seriously raise the volume. Please call the White House at 292-456-1111 and demand action to protect the Amazon peoples of Ecuador and the freedom to advocate in this country. 👊🙏❤️

History peeps, who will be in Paris this summer? : )

@WhatAboutClass People are already preparing for the Semiquincentennial of the Am Rev, which should definitely help!

Happy pub day to Malcolm Harris's PALO ALTO (@littlebrown), which more than lives up to the hype. I'd read @BigMeanInternet write about anyone's hometown, but we're fortunate he has turned his pen on the place that shaped him and has, to a startling degree, shaped us all.
