🧐 Via Barak Ravid, political reporter at Axios: "Democratic mega-donor Haim Saban wrote an email to Biden's aides Steve Ricchetti & Anita Dunn about Biden's decision to put on hold a weapons shipment to Israel: 'Let's not forget there are more Jewish voters who care about Israel than Muslim voters who care about Hamas'"

Climate catastrophe news. This is a before and after of the Brazilian State of Rio Grande del Sul, following four days of relentless torrential rain. However, in better news, Rishi Sunak's climate policy has been declared unlawful by the High Court this morning (via Adam Bienkov of Byline, see tweet). I'll post the link to the judgment when it surfaces. Report: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/03/britain-climate-action-plan-unlawful-high-court
WEEK 31: Today at Humboldt University in Berlin (inside and outside campus).
Statement from the students:
"Either you go or you get taken by police, but we actually don't care, because 40,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel, so we are here, and we will stay here, because we are students. We are fighting for our future, a future without colonialism or imperialism." Rozzers are already there, obvs. #FreePalestine

🚨 🚨 🚨 WEEK 31: Statement from the Palestine Solidarity Encampment at UCLA. Campus police looked on and filmed, but DID NOT intervene. Posted twice to incorporate full alt-text
"The University would rather see us dead than divest"
WEEK 31: Your government, your representatives and your media are NOT ON YOUR SIDE. I'll just say again that the LAPD took more than two hours to show up and then watched from the sidelines, and refer you to the statement of the Palestine Solidarity Encampment.
