A man just delivered 240ltrs of compost. Now I have to move it to the shed.

@matt The guy who usually delivers it is very nice and takes it to the shed for me, but some horrid misog had taken his place today and wouldn't so much as leave it by the garden gate 😔

@BashStKid You know what looks attractive? The guy who usually delivers it and merrily takes it to the shed for me, no questions asked.

Statement from Harvard Out of Occupied Palestine

1 of 2

Black background with an inlaid image of banners at the encampment. Text reads "We built the Liberated Zone in Harvard Yard as a model of the world we want to see: one that proudly affirms Palestinian liberation, rather than elimination. Every day we sustained the encampment - beyond the last day of classes, finals week, move-out - has been a day where we strengthened our organising capacity, built networks of solidarity, and forced the question of Palestine on an institution that has historically refused it. 2 of 7
Black background with an inlaid picture of the statue of John Harvard wearing a keffiyeh over his shoulder, with a placard at the bottom of the plinth, on cardboard, reading EYES ON GAZA. Text reads: For three weeks, Harvard mobilised all its resources to quietly choked us out. Harvard shut its gates to the public, closed its buildings to the campers, suspended over twenty students, referred over 60 for further disciplinary charges, and turned Harvard Yard into a surveillance state. When students finished moving out of the Yard, police became the dominant presence. 3 of 7
A black background with an inlaid picture of two students putting a placard reading LIBERATED ZONE into a tree. Text reads: There is no liberation in isolation. Encampments are a tactic - a big and beautiful one - in a larger strategy of divestment. Here at Harvard, we believe the utility of this tactic has passed, and we have decided to re-group and carry out this protracted struggle through other means. 4 of 7

Particularly love this bit:

" ... an institution that serves as the rotten heart of a dying empire ... "

2 of 2

Black background with an inlaid image of a student sitting on a red chair, wearing a keffiyeh and holding a Palestinian flag. Text reads: We do not measure the success of our encampment in meetings, but rather in organising capacity and consciousness. The Harvard Liberated Zone ruptured our understanding of what we believed to be possible at an institution that serves as the rotten heart of a dying empire. It brought the student intifada to a school that trembles at the very word. And it grew our organising power such that we can only come back stronger in our fight for Palestine 6 of 6
Black background with an inlaid image of a handmade cardboard placard reading WELCOME TO THE PEOPLE'S UNIVERSITY FOR PALESTINE Text reads: Right now, Israel's US-funded genocide in Palestine rages on. Our fight for Palestinian liberation does not begin nor end with this encampment. Harvard beware: the Liberated Zone is everywhere. 7 of 7

Georgia parliament approves ‘foreign agent’ bill amid ongoing protests - https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/14/georgia-parliament-approves-foreign-agent-bill-amid-ongoing-protests looks like is going to lose its independence and freedoms once again...

@glynmoody They did last night, didn't they?
I've been wondering if/when this would turn into a Maidan-like situation. I guess we're about to find out.

WEEK 33: Happening now at the LSE, to launch a report documenting the university’s secretive investments of £48.5 million in companies complicit in Israel’s crimes and genocide against the Palestinian people.

As youse know, I try not to share links to Xitter but this compilation of Blinken clips talking about Russia's invasion of Ukraine is really something else - he even namechecks Israel. I'll transcribe it for those who don't want to/can't click, with the link at the end.

"What separates Israel, the United States and other democracies when it comes to incredibly difficult situations like this is our respect for international law.

The entire world soon witnessed evidence of those crimes in searing photographs and videos.
Bombing schools and hospitals and apartment buildings to rubble is not normal.
Executed civilians with their hands tied behind their backs.
Mass graves.
Attacks on homes, schools, hospitals.
We can never allow the crime Russia is committing to become our new normal."

@racingdaily Wanna see some more US hypocrisy? This was in response to about about the anti-Russian protests happening in Georgia atm.

@brume That's why I transcribed it 🙄
To hundreds of Mastodonians that's just a massive black box on their screen. Use alt-text and don't take the moral high ground.

Very useful breakdown of what's going on in Georgia, where half the country seem to be almost permanently on the streets protesting.

@Lassielmr Good grief I missed that bit of spectacular hypocrisy from the WH. It's a fairly common generational opinion across the former Soviet states, I think.
Which reminds me, have you seen Goodbye Lenin! ? A very sweet and funny film about this exact thing.

More oral submissions at the ICJ this week, after South Africa requested provisional measures. Not clear whether Egypt and/or the Maldives will be taking part, after they joined the application.

I thought it was Palestinian parents who indoctrinated their children to hate Israelis 🤔
I should say these images (stills from a video clip) were taken at Tarqumiyah crossing in Hebron yesterday. The police protected the "activists".

@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@BashStKid What kind of poisonous hatred do you have to pour into a child's ear and for how long, to get them to behave this way?
These kids can't be much older than 10.

fkamiah17,
@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@BashStKid Yes, I'm sure you're right. It's child abuse as far as I'm concerned.

@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@Lassielmr @BashStKid That's horrifying.

Why does he persist in committing electoral suicide?

Aljazeera: "In the message [to commemorate Israel's 76th Independence Day*], Biden described himself as a lifelong supporter of Israel and stated that he was the 'only American president to visit Israel in wartime**'.
'The United States is proud of its enduring relationship with Israel***,' Biden was quoted as saying."

    ** during a genocide
