    In this article, I ask what Sharjeel Imam’s prison writings can teach us about Pakistan, our dissident histories, and what we owe them. Over the past few months I’ve been deeply fascinated by his work and highly recommend reading it if you haven't

    A day before commencement, the Harvard Corp. has told me I will not be allowed to graduate. I hope this moment exposes the corporate rot central to institutions like Harvard. To my peers graduating - remember: 15,000 Gazan kids will never graduate.

    Took graduation photos a year in advance. (As of last evening, Harvard is withholding mine and @shraddha_joshi1's degrees until May of 2025, alongside 10 other graduating seniors. Look up "Palestine exception to free speech" for more info.) x.com/harvxrdpsc/sta…

    Announcement comes after virtually every Palestine program on campus has been uprooted. The grounds for academic revisionism had already been set. The fact that this announcement is being celebrated is evidence of how selective the American eye is, and how little it cares.

    The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government. hrvd.me/ResearchFundin…

    Harvard, thank you for showing out. More than a 1000 walked out of the biggest celebration of the year today, in solidarity with Palestine and the suppression of dissent. Long live the student movement.
