Today marks what would have been the 84th birthday of Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, whose words continue to resonate across generations and borders. Image
Darwish’s writing captured the pain of displacement, the struggle for justice, and a profound longing for home, while weaving images of nature—anemones, lapis lazuli, gazelles, and olives. His poetry inspired generations, blending personal longing with political resistance.
Poet Naomi Shihab Nye describes Darwish as the “Essential Breath of the Palestinian people, the eloquent witness of exile and belonging, exquisitely tuned singer of image that invoke, link, and shine a brilliant light into the world’s whole heart. What he speaks has been embraced by readers around the world—his in an utterly necessary voice, unforgettable once discovered.”

HAPPENING NOW: Police arrested hundreds of protestors including Jewish elders, descendants of Holocaust survivors, and students, dragging them out of a sit-in at Trump Tower by their arms and legs.

Jews say: Free Mahmoud, Free Palestine! Image

On Saturday, ICE agents abducted Palestinian activist and recent Columbia graduate Mahmoud Khalil from his home. This is the first attempt by the administration to put into practice Trump’s Executive Order which promises to revoke the visas of students protesting against Israel’s genocide of Gaza as part of a so-called crackdown on antisemitism.
As the abundance of Nazis and noted antisemites in Trump’s government makes clear, the administration doesn’t care about Jewish safety, except as an excuse for carrying out its racist agenda intent on deporting and crushing our movements. Image

BREAKING: Hundreds of U.S. Jews and friends are taking over the Trump Tower to say: Come for one, face us all. Image
On Saturday, ICE agents abducted Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist, recent graduate of Columbia University and U.S. permanent resident as he returned home from an Iftar with his wife, who is 8 months pregnant. Image
Mahmoud’s abduction by ICE marks a new, severe escalation in the Trump administration’s attack on the movement for Palestinian freedom in the US, which has aimed its first crackdown at universities where students have organized. Image

Palestinians in Gaza are facing severe thirst, disease, and starvation after the Israeli government abruptly cut off all electricity to Gaza two days ago. The Israeli military has not allowed any humanitarian aid into Gaza for 9 days. 🧵 Image
The blackout drastically reduced clean water from Gaza’s only functioning desalination plant and forced a wastewater treatment plant to stop working . The power cuts came on the eighth day of the Israeli military’s renewed blockade of humanitarian aid shipments into Gaza all while Palestinians are observing Ramadan.
Yesterday, Palestinians reported waiting in long lines at bakeries for hours just to receive a single piece of bread. Abu Al-Abd Darwish told Democracy Now as he waited in line, “There’s a siege on all of Gaza’s people, from all the borders. As you can see, we’re waiting for our turn to get a bag of bread, all of these people waiting for a bag of bread. This is our situation. Gaza’s people need aid, our brothers. There is a siege on all Gaza’s people.”

On March 8, DHS agents abducted Mahmoud Khalil, a U.S. permanent resident and student activist for Palestinian rights, from his New York apartment. Mahmoud was targeted for his political speech and activism in support of Palestinian freedom and for an end to the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. 🧵Image
Mahmoud is currently being held in an ICE facility, reportedly already moved out of New York, and could face imminent deportation. His wife, a U.S. citizen, is eight months pregnant.
These are the actions of a fascist government, and we must generate overwhelming public outrage and pressure to ensure Mahmoud's release and to demand that elected officials and universities start protecting students from the reach of the Trump regime.

Food. Water. Medicine. Electricity. Tents and blankets. Two days ago the Israeli government announced it was blocking all humanitarian aid into Gaza — a horrific collective punishment on Palestinian families across Gaza during the month of Ramadan. According to international law, collective punishment is a war crime. 🧵

All through the ceasefire that began on January 15th, the Israeli military continually violated its terms, killing at least 118 Palestinians in Gaza and wounding 490.

Last week, the first stage of the ceasefire ended when the Israeli government unilaterally withdrew from the agreed-upon process. In addition to opening fire on Palestinians in Gaza, the Israeli military also violated the first phase of the ceasefire by refusing to withdraw from the Philadelphia corridor in the middle of Gaza.
Over the past three days, the Israeli military has killed at least nine Palestinians in Gaza. Today, the Israeli military opened fire on Palestinians in the northern areas of Beit Hanoun in North Gaza. Currently, an estimated 11,000 to 12,000 are still trapped under rubble in Gaza and over 4,000 Palestinians are being held without charge across Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

The Israeli military's renewed siege on Gaza violates international humanitarian law, using starvation as a weapon of war despite the fact that regardless of the ceasefire, the Israeli government, as the occupier, is legally obligated to allow aid entry.
