The Intercept:
"New York University School of Law barred 31 pro-Palestine law school students from campus facilities and demanded that they sign away their right to protest in exchange for being allowed to return. If the students — deemed 'personae non grata,' or PNG — don’t renounce their right to protest on campus, they will be unable to sit for final exams.

'You may not participate in any protest activity or disruptive activity on Law School property,' says the so-called 'Use of Space Agreement' sent to the students, which explicitly lays out conditions for being allowed to return to key campus buildings during the school’s 'exam period.'

The law students, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid further repercussions from the school, are accused of participating in sit-ins, a time-honored form of nonviolent demonstration that is allowed according to NYU policy. The sit-ins on March 4 and April 29 took place, respectively, at the school’s Bobst Library and outside the office of the law school dean. ... Barring the students from campus and demanding they refrain from protesting represents a dramatic escalation against NYU students involved in demonstrations against Israel’s war on Gaza — breaking with school policy and upending precedents for disciplinary procedures, said seven of the PNG students who spoke with The Intercept, as well as other NYU students and faculty.

-->The NYT hasn't covered this story yet. Chances are it will come out buried somewhere where people won't complain about it. This fascist assault on the rights of students makes NYU a willing participant in the end of free speech in the US.

"I [Chris Hedges] am sitting in the auditorium at The New York Times. It is the first time I have been back in nearly two decades. It will be the last. The newspaper is a pale reflection of what it was when I worked there, beset by numerous journalistic fiascos, rudderless leadership and myopic cheerleading of the military debacles in the Middle East, Ukraine and the genocide in Gaza, where one of the Times contributions to the mass slaughter of Palestinians was an editorial refusing to back an unconditional ceasefire. Many seated in the auditorium are culpable.

I am here, however, not for them but for the former executive editor they are honoring, Joe Lelyveld, who died earlier this year. He hired me. His departure from the Times marked the paper’s steep descent. ... On the front page of the program of the memorial, the year of his death is incorrect — emblematic of the sloppiness of a newspaper that is riddled with typos and errors. ...

Lelyveld came back for a brief interim. But the senior editors who followed were of little improvement. They were full-throated propagandists – Tony Judt called them 'Bush’s useful idiots' – for the war in Iraq. They were true believers in the weapons of mass destruction."

"On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the 'Liberation of Saigon,' when communist troops from the North entered the presidential palace of South Vietnam in 1975 and ended the war, the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, expressed his admiration for the people of Vietnam, for being a beacon of inspiration for countries around the world.

In this context, the President described Vietnam's victory as a catastrophic defeat for the American empire, as their courage demonstrated that 'when a people want to be free, they achieve it, and Vietnam defeated the greatest military machine on planet Earth.'

He also said that Ho Chi Minh's heroic war was an example of the struggles against colonialism and imperialism and against all forms of foreign domination.
In a document issued this Wednesday by the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry, it was recalled that this historic date marked the end of the war and the definitive victory over colonialism and imperialism, which allowed for national reunification under the luminous legacy of Comrade Ho Chi Minh."

"Multiple credible sources – including UN agencies, 12 major international NGOs, and journalists on the ground – report that most of Gaza’s 2.2 million people are now surviving on just one meal per day or less due to Israel’s total blockade on food and other essentials since March 2.

The CEOs of 12 major aid organizations, including Oxfam, Save the Children, CARE, NRC, and others, said in a joint statement on April 17, 2025: “Survival itself is now slipping out of reach and the humanitarian system is at breaking point.

Every single person in Gaza is relying on humanitarian aid to survive. That lifeline has been completely cut off since a blockade on all aid supplies was imposed by Israeli authorities on 2 March.  We have supplies ready. We have trained medical staff. We have the expertise. What we don’t have is the access – or the guarantee by Israeli authorities that our teams can safely do their jobs.”

Mondoweiss:
"Last week, without much fanfare, U.S. President Donald Trump announced his nominee for the position of Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism. The man he picked was Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, an ultra-orthodox member of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, a long-time friend of Miriam and the late Sheldon Adelson, and a leading Trump campaigner and fundraiser in the far-right sector of the American Jewish community.

Kaploun is certain to deepen the Trump administration’s efforts to criminalize even the most minor criticism of Israel, let alone any objection to its ongoing genocide in Gaza and escalating atrocities in the West Bank. He is a strong supporter of the crackdown on free speech and freedom of education by the Trump administration, and, in his new role, is certain to redouble his efforts to advocate for coercive and restrictive measures in defining antisemitism as criticism of Israel and little else.
Ironically, his nomination—which still requires confirmation in the Senate—has already gone a long way toward demonstrating the fact that antisemitism emanates not from Palestine advocates but, overwhelmingly, from the same place it always has: the extreme right, the sector of American society that, like Kaploun himself, so passionately supports Donald Trump."

"Study Estimates Fossil Fuel Giants Have Inflicted $28 Trillion in Climate Damage Worldwide. As people around the world cope with the worsening effects of planetary heating, 'the veil of plausible deniability doesn't exist anymore scientifically' for fossil fuel giants.

As planetary heating has fueled increasingly damaging hurricanes, wildfires, and dangerous heatwaves, fossil fuel giants have long been shielded by plausible deniability: Despite scientists' consensus that oil, gas, and coal extraction are polluting the planet and causing global temperatures to rise, they couldn't prove that specific corporations were to blame for worsening climate destruction.
A study published on Wednesday could change that.

Using modeling techniques that have been utilized for more than a decade to explain how climate change is fueling weather disasters, researchers at Dartmouth College estimated that 111 of the world's largest fossil fuel companies have caused $28 trillion in heat-related climate damages so far—slightly less than the value of all goods and services produced in the United States last year."

Labor unions, Palestinian rights groups, and other advocacy groups on Thursday held rallies and events to mark the Day of Action for Higher Education, with students and faculty at more than 150 schools demonstrating against President Donald Trump's funding cuts; attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives; targeting of academic freedom; and deportation operations in which a number of student organizers have been rounded up in recent weeks. ...

Like the mutual defense compact proposal that's now gained traction at several schools, the day of action is partially a response to Trump's demand that universities collaborate with the administration to punish students who took part in nationwide Palestinian solidarity protests last year."

"On March 25, Francine Katsoudas, an executive at an American multinational digital communications technology conglomerate, Cisco, announced new 'guardrails' restricting internal discussions and debates on the Middle East—and specifically on Palestine. 'Some topics are just simply too hard, too painful, too divisive, and they take our focus away from our ability to drive Cisco business, and one example specifically would be the ongoing conflict in the Middle East,' Katsoudas said in a company-wide call. 'We have made the decision that this topic cannot be discussed, cannot be debated in company or organization-wide meetings,' she added.

Hours after the group call with Katsoudas, an employee who was outspoken on Palestine was fired. The reason given for termination, they described to Drop Site, was that their 'comments contribute to a harmful work environment and harms other employees'—but that the company added it was not due to her 'personal viewpoint.' They provided Drop Site with an HR email and notes corroborating their account, but requested anonymity to minimize risk to their future employment and general safety. A week later, Cisco deleted the largest pro-Palestine WebEx chat room, Bridge To Humanity (B2H), and its associated educational website. Cisco did not respond to a request for comment."

-->Always aware the rich people don't like rallies, The NYT hasn't been covering these rallies so much. And when the newspaper does, it is more about Bernie Sanders than about his egalitarian ideas.

Common Dreams:
" 'I think when we talk about America is a democracy, I think we should rephrase it, call it a pseudo-democracy.' That's what Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Sunday morning in response to questions from CBS News about the state of the nation, with President Donald Trump gutting the federal government from head to toe, challenging constitutional norms, allowing his cabinet of billionaires to run key agencies they philosophically want to destroy, and empowering Elon Musk—the world's richest person—to run roughshod over public education, undermine healthcare programs like Medicare and Medicaid, and attack Social Security.

Taking a weekend away from his ongoing 'Fight Oligarchy' tour, which has drawn record crowds in both right-leaning and left-leaning regions of the country over recent weeks, Sanders said the problem is deeply entrenched now in the nation's political system—and both major parties have a lot to answer for.

'One of the other concerns when I talk about oligarchy,' Sanders explained to journalist Robert Acosta, 'it's not just massive income and wealth inequality. It's not just the power of the billionaire class. These guys, led by Musk—and as a result of this disastrous Citizens UnitedSupreme Court decision—have now allowed billionaires essentially to own our political process. So, I think when we talk about America is a democracy, I think we should rephrase it, call it a 'pseudo-democracy.' And it's not just Musk and the Republicans; it's billionaires in the Democratic Party as well.' "

-->Sanders is one of the visionaries of our nation's turn from being a democracy to being an oligarchy. Like most visionaries, the NYT rarely prints what Bernie Sanders actually has to say. How often does the NYT report what Noam Chomsky has to say? The NYT is the newspaper of the empire.

Global Delinquents:
"On March 13th, the UN Human Rights High Commission published a horrifying report exposing in oft-emetic detail how the Zionist entity has employed 'sexual, reproductive and other forms of gender-based violence against Palestinians' on an industrial scale since the Gaza genocide erupted in October 2023. The UN concludes these hideous acts are a central component of Israel’s 'broader effort to undermine [Palestinians’] right to self-determination,' their systematic nature pointing unambiguously to endorsement by Tel Aviv’s military and political leaders.

The report records, 'sexual and gender-based violence is by no means a new element of the Israeli occupation.' However, in the wake of October 7th, there has been a 'sharp increase in sexual violence against Palestinian women and men', both by Zionist Occupation Forces and settlers. The UN encountered no obstacles collecting voluminous highly incriminating evidence of this vile abuse. In addition to a welter of victim and witness testimony, perpetrators often voyeuristically captured themselves and their confederates openly committing these crimes on camera.

Frequently, these abhorrent images were pridefully posted on the culprits’ personal social media accounts. Such actions amply attest to the culture of total impunity in which ZOF soldiers literally rape and pillage. 'Despite the abundance of witness and digital evidence of Israeli soldiers committing crimes in Gaza,' the UN found 'there have been no meaningful efforts by Israel to hold the perpetrators accountable.' Requests submitted to Tel Aviv for clarity on investigations into sexual violence committed by Occupation Forces have been ignored."

The emails—which were obtained by House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Gerry Connolly (D-Va.)—show that Dudek ordered the cancellation of enumeration at birth and electronic death registration contracts with Maine, even though SSAd subordinates warned that such action 'would result in improper payments and potential for identity theft.'

Though exactly how Jeffrey Goldberg ended up on a Signal group chat to discuss what were meant to be secret plans to bomb Yemen remains a mystery, posterity may render it one of recent US history’s most serendipitous chance encounters.

Had the fates been conspiring to add a journalist to the forum whose presence would inflict the maximum discomfort to Trump and his circle, they could hardly have chosen a more fitting candidate. ... At the same time Goldberg is also widely criticized by some on the left of US media and politics for his views on Israel, his past record serving in the Israeli military and his hawkish views on Iran and his support for the US invasion of Iraq.

However, since becoming the Atlantic’s editor-in-chief in 2016, he has built a track record of unearthing stories that have managed to specifically get under Trump’s skin with the type of journalism loathed by the president’s 'Make America Great Again' (Maga) followers.

"Colonial violence is on display from Gaza to U.S. universities

As global attention is drawn elsewhere, Israel has resumed its full-scale assault on Gaza. Tareq Hajjaj reports on the deepening catastrophe: water and electricity have once again been cut off to over 2 million Palestinians, plunging Gaza into darkness pierced only by the flash of Israeli bombs. On the ground, Palestinians face a grim ultimatum: death or displacement. Chris Hedges describes it as the 'final stage of genocide'—a campaign of total erasure.

This push is not just military. Qassam Muaddi unpacks Israel’s latest plan to facilitate the 'voluntary emigration' of Palestinians from Gaza—another euphemism for ethnic cleansing. The world must not be fooled by the language of bureaucracy.

In the West Bank, Israeli forces are intensifying violence, turning refugee camps into battlefields. Felix Nobes documents how even Palestinian sports, a source of pride and resistance, are being systematically dismantled."

-->Mondoweiss coverage of Palestine is an example of how a free press should operate. The NYT coverage is the exact opposite. The paper offers readers pages on Ukraine, but disturbingly little on the hunger and slaughter going on in Gaza as well as the West Bank. Soon, we will see the broken bodies of Palestinians being starved to death. They are the same pictures that came to us from Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and Dachau. They are America's shame, and its no wonder that the NYT would try to divert our attention.

The New York Times:
"Serving Sushi Amid Artillery Strikes in a Frontline Town."

-->This is on page 4, after the IDF has spent the weekend slaughtering hundreds of civilians in a calculated assault to continue the genocide. But the sushi story is about Ukraine. So is the next story about Ukraine's nuclear power plants. And the next: "Ukraine Attacks Air Base, home to Russian Bombers." And the next: "Russia's Public its War-Weary, But Still Wary of Concessions." Then we go to a story about egg prices in Hungary. Next story is about Syrians who were wanted by the Assad Regime. And the next is about Iran releasing a French Citizen. This is followed by a story of Trump saying he will annihilate the Houthis. Only then is the absolute slaughter of two million Palestinians described to readers of our "Newspaper of Record."

And the title of this story is pure Israeli propaganda: "Hamas Fires Rockets at Tel Aviv." In the minds of the scripted NYT reporters, Palestinians always start the bloodshed and the IDF always responds. Sadly, the NYT is still talking about the "a full scale war," and not of an internationally recognize genocide of he Palestinian People. Then we get the description of an aerial bombardment and an IDF statement that the attack "had targeted Hamas." Nine paragraphs in, we find out that 500 people were killed "including scores of children." But it is not really scores of children butchered by this new assault, it is hundreds.

-->The NYT will own the genocide of the Palestinian people, just like the United States will. The newspaper has been exposed again and again for its pro Israel bias. But like the IDF, the NYT is shameless and purposely ignorant.

Last month, Trump issued an executive order mandating agencies 'fully address the growing health crisis in America.' But the initiative from Republican attorneys general — which would usurp state labeling authority — is now being moved forward by Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The measure would declare that any label citing scientific findings not acknowledged by Trump’s EPA would 'constitute misbranding.' "

Columbia University received a wave of criticism on Friday after it agreed to a number of demands from the Trump administration as part of negotiations over $400 million in federal grants and contracts that the Trump administration had pulled due to the school's alleged 'inaction in the face of persistent harassment of Jewish students.'

The school agreed to a ban on masks and to appoint a senior vice provost with broad power to oversee both the department of Middle East, South Asian, and African Studies and the school's Center for Palestine Studies, according to the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the news. Also, Columbia has hired over 30 'special officers' who will have the ability to remove individuals from campus and arrest them, per the memo from the school announcing the update.

On Friday evening, writer Ross Barkan wrote on X, 'I confess I don't get Columbia folding. Don't they have an endowment worth many billions? Very rich alumni? Alumni who hate Trump? They could do a massive resistance fundraiser to make up for lost federal dollars. Very odd and very weak.'" Others echoed this sentiment."

claimed this week that it has sent 'thousands of names' of Palestine defenders to Trump administration officials for possible deportation. ...

Earlier this week, Betar said: 'We told you we have been working on deportations and will continue to do so. Expect naturalized citizens to start being picked up within the month. You heard it here first. Those who support jihad and intifada and originate in terrorist states will be sent back to those lands.'

 

Betar isn't alone in aggressively targeting Palestine defenders. The group Canary Mission—which said it is 'delighted' about Khalil's 'deserved consequences'—publishes an online database containing personal information about people it deems antisemitic, and this week released a video naming five other international students it says are 'linked to campus extremism at Columbia.'
