Please STOP leaving Black activists behind. We always show up. We always stand tall. And too often, we’re the ones left to fend for ourselves. Okey Nnorom deserves the same global outrage and solidarity. ✊🏿 Demand his release. #FreeOkey #GlobalSumudFlotilla

The screams are killing me. People are live-tweeting their own deaths. Children are begging for help no one’s coming to give. Palestinians are posting their last words as the world scrolls past. How do you grieve in real time for a genocide unfolding in front of you?

This is an Israeli naval officer who participated in the atrocities in Gaza and who later went on Fox News and said he was “truly afraid” to walk on campus due to the protesting students. This time he walks into the middle of the MIT encampment and starts screaming for police to
