May 15, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. Resist! California, Columbia University, Hunger Strikes, Israel, Mohsen Mahdawi, Palestine, Rumeysa Ozturk, Trump Administration, Tufts University, Victory

Since the last installment of this newsletter, two students detained by the Trump administration have been released on bail. Mohsen Mahdawi, the Columbia University student who was kidnapped by agents during a citizenship interview, was released from a Vermont correctional facility on April 30. “The two weeks of detention so far demonstrate great harm to a person who has been charged with no crime,” said U.S. District Judge Geoffrey Crawford. Mahdawi addressed a crowd of supporters and reporters upon his release. “For anybody who is doubting justice, this is a light of hope and faith in the justice system in America,” Mahdawi told a crowd outside the courthouse after his release.

Activists Rally And Die-In At Local War Manufacturing Conference

May 15, 2025 Fight Back! News. Resist! Die-in, Genocide, Israel, Palestine, Weapons Maker, Wisconsin

Pewaukee, WI – On the afternoon of May 13, dozens of anti-war and pro-Palestine activists held a rally outside the Wisconsin Defense Industry Council (WDIC)’s inaugural conference at the Ingleside Hotel in Pewaukee, a suburb of Milwaukee. The rally spoke out against the WDIC’s stated mission, to increase the influence of defense manufacturing in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Defense Industry Council was founded in December 2023, mere months after the genocide ramped up in Palestine – and just in time to capitalize and profit off the mass deaths of the Palestinian people. This timing has not gone unnoticed in Wisconsin.

In the early hours of Wednesday 14th May, activists from Palestine Action targeted Edwards Accountants in Birmingham and JP Morgan at Victoria Embankment in London. Both firms were covered in red paint, and the front glass doors of JP Morgan were completely shattered. Both firms directly enable the operations of Israel’s biggest weapons producer, Elbit Systems. Edwards Accountants are the listed accountants for Elbit Systems UK and its subsidiaries, whilst JP Morgan hold Elbit shares worth over $22million in the Israeli weapons maker. On 12th May, financial reports showed JP Morgan had reduced their investment in Elbit Systems by over 53%.

Drop The Charges And Full Amnesty For Brooklyn College Protesters

Fourteen pro-Paelstinian student protestors were arrested at Brooklyn College following a brutal police raid where students were beaten up, dragged, and tased. Those students, who were entirely peaceful , were viciously attacked by police at the command of the CUNY administration and now seven face charges of disorderly conduct and trespassing and risk punishment from Brooklyn College. The Brooklyn College administration recklessly endangered all of their students, staff, and faculty, protesters and non-protesters alike, by bringing cops on campus to protect a genocide and attack the right to protest. The cops, in the name of genocide and as enemies of democratic rights, punched, kicked, and tased students for practicing their right to speak out.

Stanford Students And Faculty Launch Hunger Strike For Gaza

May 14, 2025 Stanford Hunger Strikers For Justice In Palestine, Mondoweiss. Resist! Gaza, Genocide, Hunger Strikes, Israel, Palestine, Palestine Solidarity, Stanford University, Student Activism

Yesterday we began our hunger strike. In every slowed minute we remember the children of Gaza, now surviving on boiled weeds and muddy water. It is now day 584 of the genocide in Gaza, and more than 60,000 Palestinians have been murdered by the Zionist entity. Just last week, at least four separate massacres have occurred in Gaza, leaving hundreds murdered and wounded. Two months have passed since Israel’s total siege of the strip on March 2nd, completely blocking all food and aid from entering Gaza. Israel has completely weaponized food; aid convoys remain blocked, grain silos stand empty and parents barter wedding rings for flour that never arrives.

Zionist Militants Responsible For ICE Arrest Of Pro-Palestine Student

May 14, 2025 Robert Inlakesh, MintPress News. Resist! Free Speech, ICE, Israel, Massachusetts, Palestine, Repression, Zionists

A Massachusetts court ruled that the detention of a former student who expressed pro-Palestine views was unconstitutional and that it was a punitive measure triggered almost solely by a complaint from the Zionist militant group Betar. Late last week, a judge ruled that a former student at the University of Massachusetts (UMass), detained unlawfully by ICE, be released, providing the first court admission that Zionist extremist groups are working with U.S. authorities to violate free speech rights. The former student in question is Efe Ercelik, a Turkish national who entered the U.S. on an F-1 student visa. After a physical altercation with a Jewish student during a protest in late 2023, the American corporate media and pro-Israel groups pointed to his case as evidence of rampant attacks against Jewish students on campus.

Charging The US Government With Genocide Before The Inter-American Commission On Human Rights

May 14, 2025 Tariq Ra’Ouf, Counter Punch. Resist! Gaza, Genocide, Human Rights, Israel, Legal System, Palestine

We stand here today, as Americans who are fed up with the way the United States government has spent our tax dollars. While several programs across housing, education, and healthcare are gutted, our politicians think the better use of that money should be going towards killing children, massacring families, and leveling churches, schools and hospitals. Instead of taking care of our veterans, we are sending more of our soldiers to fight a population of civilians, putting them in the crosshairs of Israel’s indiscriminate bombing, and giving them a lifetime of PTSD that our government will refuse to treat.

Haitians Say: Send Trump, Bukele And The True Terrorists To Cecot

May 14, 2025 Danny Shaw, Morningstar Online. Resist! CECOT, Guatemala, Haiti, Violence

The latest headline on Haiti is that Trump is threatening to send Haitian gang leaders to Nayib Bukele’s Terrorism Confinement Centre, where 252 Venezuelans are currently kidnapped. On May 2, the State Department designated Haitian paramilitary gangs Viv Ansanm and Gran Grif as Foreign Terrorist Organisations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists. The truth is that the paramilitary gangs are merely a symptom of the true problem plaguing Haiti — US and Core Group neocolonial rule. If the State Department was honestly interested in alleviating mass Haitian suffering, it would begin by jailing the true puppet masters, mainly themselves.

Holding The Weapons Industry Responsible For War Crimes

On May 8, 2025, I was honored to speak at the Oxford Union Debates on the topic: “This House Would Hold The Arms Industry Responsible for War Crimes.” My partner speaking in favor of the motion was Katie Gallagher, an excellent attorney with the remarkable Center for Constitutional Rights. The following is my presentation at the Oxford Union debates. At the end of the debate, with Katie and me speaking in favor of the motion and two persons arguing against the motion, twice as many of the Oxford Union students voted that the weapons industry should be responsible for war crimes if their weapons are used in committing war crimes.

Rights Groups Call On United Kingdom To End All Arms Sales To Israel

Rights groups and charities gathered outside the Royal Courts of Justice on Tuesday to support a legal challenge against the UK government's continuing export of F-35 fighter jet parts for use by Israel. Holding Palestinian flags and signs calling on the government to “stop arming Israel”, dozens of campaigners joined the lawyers leading the case to demand an end to all UK arms exports to the country as its war in Gaza enters its 20th month with more than 52,000 Palestinians killed. Groups present at the protest included Palestinian rights group Al-Haq, which bought forward the current case with the support of the Global Action Legal Network (GLAN), Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Oxfam.

Detroit Will Breathe Demands Justice For Patrick Lyoya, Following Mistrial

May 13, 2025 Detroit Will Breathe, Left Voice. Resist! Accountability, Detroit, Detroit Will Breathe (DWB), Police

On April 4, 2022, Grand Rapids Police Officer Christopher Schurr murdered Patrick Lyoya, an unarmed Black Man whom the officer had pinned to the ground, with a single execution-style gunshot to the back of the head. Patrick Lyoya was a refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo and father to two small children. This horrific racist police murder made national news, sparking widespread condemnation and protests and as a result of this political pressure from the Black Lives Matter movement, the GRPD fired Schurr and the Kent County Prosecutor charged him with second degree murder.

Blue Bottle Baristas Walk Out In Boston

May 13, 2025 Steve Gillis, Workers World. Resist! Boston, Unions, Walkouts, Worker Rights and Jobs

Boston, Massachusetts - Baristas at Blue Bottle coffee shops in Boston are so fed up with their boss’s blatant union-busting bulls–t that they walked off the job at multiple stores twice last week. They are preparing for more job actions. This time last year Blue Bottle workers in Greater Boston voted 38-4 in a National Labor Relations Board-conducted election to join the Blue Bottle Independent Union (BBIU). This came after years of low wages and disrespect from the San Francisco-based, high-end coffee chain, part of the Nestlé corporation’s sprawling global conglomerate.

Reproductive Rights Activists Call For Closure Of Anti-Abortion ‘Clinics’

May 13, 2025 Fight Back! News. Resist! Abortion, Milwaukee, Reproductive Rights, Women's Rights

Milwaukee, WI – On May 10, dozens of people picketed outside the Women’s Care Center on Milwaukee’s South Side, demanding an end to the deceptive “care” it provides. This facility is one of nine crisis pregnancy centers located in Milwaukee. Crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) are fake clinics that masquerade as facilities offering “all-option” pregnancy counseling, free ultrasounds, and pregnancy testing. However, they often lack trained medical staff and do not adhere to confidentiality regulations. CJ Lund, a member of Reproductive Justice Action-Milwaukee (RJAM), stated, “We’re out here today to stand up and say that abortion care is healthcare and vital for all!

Episcopal Church Refuses To Resettle White Afrikaners

May 13, 2025 Jack Jenkins, NPR. Resist! Apartheid, Donald Trump, Migrants, Morality, Racism, South Africa

In a striking move that ends a nearly four-decades-old relationship between the federal government and the Episcopal Church, the denomination announced on Monday that it is terminating its partnership with the government to resettle refugees, citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa who have been classified as refugees by President Trump's administration. In a letter sent to members of the church, the Most Rev. Sean W. Rowe — the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church — said that two weeks ago, the government "informed Episcopal Migration Ministries that under the terms of our federal grant, we are expected to resettle white Afrikaners from South Africa whom the U.S. government has classified as refugees."

Johns Hopkins Students Met With Police Repression And Violence

May 11, 2025 Hopkins Justice Collective, Popular Resistance. Resist! Campus Movement, Higher Education, Johns Hopkins, Police, State Repression, Student Activism

On the morning of May 8, students at Johns Hopkins University launched an encampment on Keyser Quad, declaring it the Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya Liberated Zone in solidarity with the people of Gaza and in protest of the university's ongoing complicity in genocide. Within the hour, demonstrators were met with indiscriminate aggression and physical harassment by armed Johns Hopkins Police and Baltimore Police officers, resulting in the injury of two students and the destruction of personal belongings. Despite the peaceful nature of the protest, which Johns Hopkins Police themselves admitted, they issued multiple threats of imminent arrests, engaging in threats and verbal harassment well outside the scope of their putative role of enforcers of public safety.
