A sea of hundreds of Dawson College students in downtown Montreal overflowed their auditorium today to vote to strike Nov 21-22 in solidarity with Palestine during NATO's visit. That makes more than 45,000 Quebec students on strike: https://crues.org/greve-pour-la-palestine/.
Student strikes force people to choose sides.
And next Friday's demo promises to be a good time.

Malik Muhammad (@malikspeaks) has been brutalized by prison staff and is now on hunger strike in protest. they dogpiled, beat and viciously tased him. he is being held in a notoriously brutal cell block and has not been allowed to visit the medical unit.
call Oregon State Penitentiary any time of day to demand that they drop his charges, return his belongings to him, move him to his original cell, legally recognize his hunger strike, and give him medical attention. flood their lines during business hours and pack their voicemails after hours.

Something concrete we can do right now to protect journalists and their sources in 2025: Tell your reps to pass the PRESS Act.
Nationwide, the PRESS Act expands protections for journalists from government requests on forcibly giving up confidential sources. We can pass this! Contact your reps here: https://go.peoplepower.org/letter/congress-press-act#

@vncresolver congrats on graduation
@vncresolver what did I do? :(
It’s wild the things people are ok with if it’s happening to Arabs. Around one million people have already been violently displaced by Israel’s attacks on Lebanon. It’s being reported that almost 90,000 Lebanese and Syrians have so far crossed from Lebanon into Syria, many on foot. More than 700 people have been martyred by Israel in Lebanon this week alone with weapons supplied by the United States. This is just Lebanon, and not counting what’s still happening in Gaza (such as the recent Israeli strike on a tent encampment for displaced people) and the air strikes by both USA and Israel on Syrias borders.

It's #PrisonBannedBooksWeek and we're inviting you to learn more about the oversized role that the US's oversized prison system plays in censoring and restricting book access—particularly for low income folks, people of color, queers, and others with criminalized identities.
📕 If you're on Facebook or Instagram, follow our friends at Asheville Prison Books (@avlprisonbooks) and Tranzmission Prison Project (@tranzmissionprisonproject), who are bringing an abolitionist lens to their work on the front lines of prison book access all year long! (Hopefully they'll join Mastodon soon 🥺)
📙 Buy a book from our co-op's Asheville Prison Books wishlist at https://firestorm.coop/ashevilleprisonbooks and an anonymous donor will match your purchase with funds for highly requested titles like legal dictionaries.
📗 Take action by demanding that Buncombe County Sheriff Quentin Miller drop a new rule prohibiting ALL used books at the detention center! Read the top post on @avlprisonbooks's Instagram page for details and a simple call-in script. https://www.instagram.com/p/DAGlicNsCeU/
📘 Check out the article a member of our team wrote for the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance at https://sibaweb.com/blogpost/1157249/504370/Banned-Books-Week-Firestorm-Books-Prison-Books-Program about the big impact indies can have when they support the prison book movement.
