    We are back. We are frustrated. It has been eight days since ‘s mass suspension of our account and those of fellow activists. We were the victims of a concerted, state-directed campaign. We were only given flimsy allegations as justification. There was no apology.

    The BCCLA opposes calls to add Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network to Canada’s “terror list,” following the listing by Israel’s Defense Minister. This criminalization of Palestinian advocacy is unacceptable and unfounded.

    ... lets end this massacre, please

    Interviewed a woman today about the changing drug supply. At one point she stopped and just said: "I've lost all my friends," and burst into tears. And then we just sat there as she cried for a while. I wish more people could see the heartbreak behind the numbers and headlines.

    Dr. suggests Harvard's "ludicrous" decision to deny him tenure comes down to politics, including his vocal support for Palestinian rights. "The most taboo issue on U.S. campuses these days … has to do with the vicious Israeli occupation."

    Renowned scholar and activist Dr. Cornel West suggests part of the reason he was denied tenure at Harvard University was his vocal support for Palestinian rights.

    Keeping fire burning is hard when inundated w/ demobilizing talk about "reality" and "practicality." Being strategic, yes. And NO ONE understands building power & strategy better than those willing to confront heart of state violence. We need your healthy rage & your dreaming!

    In my 20s, people told me (and others organizing alongside) that I/we would "grow out" of anger; that it was a phase. Also told I would become more "pragmatic." Still angry (expression of love), still believe in burning it down, and still believe in revolution as only solution.

    Met some cute dadis at Tikri yesterday. One of them was innocently putting the mic into her ear. All three of them started giggling when realised it was a "chotta mic".
