University of #Connecticut injured #disabled student protester:

“I have disabled #students participating in the peaceful encampment/protests #UConn. When cops arrived they put hands on one of my disabled students & dislocated their shoulder. This student is still there, but injured. If UConn says there are no injuries, that is a lie …. this student wants this known and I am sharing with permission”

But they don't get to go home.” https://x.com/lesliemolson/status/1694708154091860051?s=46&t=521hINbbUzSBIUxrCF_rbg

Is #PayPal holding back donations for #Gaza?

“They just literally stole money from my bank account. So they have now taken $1,592 from my bank account and are keeping an additional $600 hostage in the Paypal account. All donations meant for Gaza. They will not talk to me on the phone. Gave me no warning and have ignored my emails.”

“Despite efforts by #Biden and Congressional leaders to assert that the #ICC has some kind of anti-#Israel bias, nearly every leader ever prosecuted by the ICC prior to 2023 has been African, including presidents of Liberia, Libya and Sudan. #Netanyahu and Gallant would be the first US-allied leaders ever indicted by the ICC.

It appears, then, that in Washington’s view, international humanitarian law should only apply to leaders not supported by the #UnitedStates”

A building designed to withstand a pandemic 100 years years ago:

“Air was brought from the outside and blown through a series of water sprays or screens, heated to any desired degree, then forced through a system of ducts which distributed it to every part of the building through hundreds of small pipes which opened beneath the seats. A complete change of air took place every three minutes” #covid #publichealth

A mass grave of Palestinian bodies has been found in northern #Gaza, zip-tied at the arms and legs, with signs that the victims were tortured, then executed, and stuffed into plastic bags

And nothing but crickets from western legacy #news #media.

Sitting here in shock watching an Al Jazeera story on a Palestinian man who won’t leave the rubble of his home — destroyed by #Israel and by American bombs — until he dies. The ruins are the de facto grave of the rest of his family, all murdered in the bombing. He uses family pets to locate the severed remains of his children and his grandchildren.

This is the dystopian world that we in the #USA have helped create with our tax dollars and warmongering jingoism.

“The next night, on Tuesday, the 64-year-old silver-haired scholar stepped outside his apartment building, located off campus across the street from Columbia. He wanted to record iPhone video of hundreds of #police responding to historic student protests against #Israel’s war in #Gaza. Fifteen minutes later, the #NYPD arrested him ….

But Pflugfelder was never on campus ….

Pflugfelder's arrest … is among the first of 282 people put in custody at or near #Columbia”

Jewish Voice for Peace smacks back:

“This playbook is familiar to justice movements across time and geography: portraying isolated individuals or intentional provocateurs who spew antisemitic hatred as a reflection of our peaceful movements, even though movement organizers, leaders, and spokespeople condemn these individuals, and are extremely clear that antisemitism has no place in the fight for collective liberation”

Let’s hope this plays out as indicated:

“Scientists at UC Riverside have demonstrated a new, RNA-based vaccine strategy that is effective against any strain of a virus and can be used safely even by babies or the immunocompromised ….

This new strategy would eliminate the need to create all these different shots, because it targets a part of the viral genome that is common to all strains of a virus.”

“White nationalists and neo-Nazis joined forces with Zionists (including some saying they were Israelis) to attack #UCLA’s #Palestine Solidarity Encampment, whose residents included a large number of Jewish students. The assailants were not affiliated with the university. One neo-Nazi was heard shouting, ‘we’re here to finish what Hitler started,’ without any apparent protest from the self-identified Zionists.”
