I've just posted some important personal and professional news about my health crisis on my website.janemcalevey.com please read and share with relevant folks in our struggle for justice. My best to you all--
"Who decides what’s “fair and balanced” about a genocide?"— @ZahraaAkhrass in her brilliant piece on media bias on Palestine for @briarpatchmag briarpatchmagazine.com/articles/view/…
Six immigrant workers are presumed dead after Tuesday's bridge collapse in Baltimore. Journalist @maximillian_alv says the disaster shows the crucial role of immigrants in many dangerous jobs. "We are not coming to this country to ruin it," he says. "We're workers just like you."
Today we stand with other media unions worldwide and condemn the killing of journalists and media workers in Gaza. More than 100 workers have been killed since October, the deadliest time for journalists in decades. #SupportPalestinianJournalists @IFJGlobal
Layoffs at Time, Pitchfork, Condé Nast, Sports Illustrated and the Los Angeles Times are threatening our democracy. "It's time for all of us to stand up and fight FOR America's journalists" @gaufre
🦅THE L.A. TIMES GUILD IS WALKING OUT🦅 We are calling for a one-day walkout TOMORROW, Jan. 19, in protest of management's proposal to cut staff and multiple unfair labor practices. docs.google.com/document/d/1gJ…
Canada now says the cap of 1000 temporary visas for Palestinian relatives of Canadians trapped in Gaza is “flexible”. Compare that to Ukraine where more than 900,000 temporary visas have been issued and more than 200,000 Ukrainians have arrived to escape Russia’s bombing. Watch:
The journalists of the Courier & Press have unionized and sent this message to our management #NewsGuild
South Africa institutes proceedings against the State of Israel before the International Court of Justice under the Genocide Convention and requests provisional measures
The 17 hostages released by Hamas on Sunday included three Thai citizens, one Russian and Avigail Idan, an American-Israeli child who was kidnapped from a kibbutz. nyti.ms/49VOw8K
Amanpour: "When you say [the bunker under al-Shifa] was built by Israeli engineers, did you misspeak? Ehud Barak: "No, decades ago, we were running the place... we helped them to build these bunkers." Amanpour: "Ok. That's sort of thrown me a little bit."
At least 48 journalists and media workers have been confirmed dead since October 7 — 43 Palestinian, 4 Israeli, and 1 Lebanese — the highest of any conflict since 1992: @jodieginsberg @pressfreedom cbchls.akamaized.net/delivery/news/…
Reporting from Israeli media @haaretzcom reveals an IDF combat helicopter responding to Oct 7 Hamas attacks may have killed Jewish concert goers. haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
BBC Verify Investigates Israeli Military’s claims regarding al-Shifa Hospital, stating it ‘has yet to produce evidence of the tunnels.’ Israel permitted only BBC and Fox News to film at the hospital in certain locations of Israel's choice.
Thank you to @DrGaborMate for coming on CBC News Network to talk about the health implications for children living under occupation and military bombardment cbchls.akamaized.net/delivery/news/…

In 2003, Evergreen State College student Rachel Corrie gave her life to protect a Palestinian home in Rafah that was going to be bulldozed by Israel. Her sacrifice has not been forgotten. We applaud Evergreen for being the first US university to commit to divest from Israel.
Over the next few days I intend to make it to as many campus encampments as I can to be in solidarity with students protesting for an end to genocide. Heading to McGill today, then UOttawa, then hopefully UofT and some others. Insha'Allah Palestine will be free in our lifetime.
Crowd gets larger and larger every 15 minutes. Nearly a thousand people now in front of the encampment @occupyuoft @UofT #Toronto
hey @Variety did you profile how she advocated for the complete siege, starvation and bombardment of Palestinians? How she has vocally supported this genocide and Israeli war crimes while spreading harmful Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism? Just curious! ✨

Anyone who thinks this militarized response to the demonstrators will end their anger over Israel’s genocide is nuts. Shame on Columbia, its donors, its pathetic President, & the NYPD. And btw, this will have consequences in November.
BREAKING: Today, I disrupted Secretary of “Defense” Lloyd Austin during a House meeting. I couldn’t just listen to him talk about U.S. leadership while the whole world is watching U.S. complicity in the genocide occurring in Gaza
I was too young to really understand the Iraq anti-war movement and I’ve since hoped that if there were ever such a moment again, I’d give my all to playing my small part in it. solidarity with everyone who's doing that
so proud of this student for calmly asking why she equates keffiyeh with terrorism. also glad CBC reported on this, it's happening everywhere cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
We're troubled by @HaltonDSB Guidance Counselor likening a student to a terrorist for wearing a keffiyah-a cultural piece of clothing. We've alerted @HaltonDSB administration. More updates coming soon. #noroomforhate
It’s interesting that 3 Palestinian students have been shot, one Palestinian has been stabbed, her son stabbed to death and yet we hear absolutely NOTHING about Palestinian safety from media or politicians.
As a Jewish alumni of McGill who cares deeply about antisemitism, I call bullshit. I spent time at the encampment this weekend and can say McGill is cynically smearing these students to justify the police violently clearing an entirely legitimate protest. x.com/kinsellawarren…
McGill calls pro-Palestinian camp illegal, levels accusations of antisemitism at protesters /via @globeandmail theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
150 students occupied this hall for nearly three weeks in 1985 to protest South African apartheid and there was never this level of forceful police. But then again Afrikaaners didn’t have 86% of Congress voting to provide blank check support and obedient elite media support.
@CollinRugg @ScooterCasterNY In they go. Wild.
You may well have the unusual situation of the Columbia student radio station being eligible for a Pulitzer Prize, administered by Columbia University, for the station’s coverage of how Columbia called the cops on Columbia students. (They’re doing an extraordinary job).
@SecBlinken Please stop the theater. Humanitarian fig leaves will not obscure the war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide that you have facilitated in Palestine. History will remember your crimes.
Instead of all this, Columbia could simply not invest in Lockheed Martin and other companies profiting off occupation and genocide.
NYPD Riot Cops are officially storming Columbia University! I was just chased off the sidewalk! Thank you so much for keeping us all safe from non-existent Anti-Semitism! Hopefully now Israel can continue to pulverize Gaza in peace! @JoeBiden @SpeakerJohnson
Today marks a historic occasion. By seizing control of Hamilton Hall, students at Columbia University have anchored in historical memory the nexus between the horrors inflicted in Vietnam that was the hallmark of my generation with the horrors inflicted in Gaza that is the…
Canadian Muslim students should not be targeted for wearing the Palestinian keffiyah & certainly should never be likened to “terrorists”. This is outrageous & sadly shouldn’t be surprising given the Ontario legislature’s ban. Student safety and well-being are at serious risk.
