"instead of taking on this struggle — or even waiting for... court rulings—universities, including Stanford have preemptively begun removing language from websites, reviewing programs, suspending projects & shrinking grad admissions even though Columbia’s fate shows that compliance offers no safety"

I know everything is on fire but please do not forget that people are starving, not because there is no food, but because that food is blockaded. Food. Is. A. Basic. Human. Right.

The effects can be seen from space. The Gaza Strip has plunged into darkness since Israel announced a “complete siege” on Oct. 9. On Friday, the little connectivity Gaza had with the outside world appeared to be severed, amid reports of heavy bombardment. More updates: wapo.st/477tylj

Please spread the word widely -- we're hiring five religion & world affairs interns at Pew Research Center. Interns can work in our DC office or remotely from a few states. Details here: pewtrusts.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Center... 🌐 Many Pew Research careers began with this internship.
Text image says, "Pew Research Center’s Religion department seeks to promote a deeper understanding of issues at the intersection of religion and public affairs. We are looking for five recent grads or current students to join us for a 14-week long paid internship from November 14, 2023 to March 1, 2024 (opportunities may exist to extend to March 8, 2024). Due to the nature of the work, you will need to commit to 37.5 hours per week for the entire period, during regular business hours. Interns will be paid $17/hour. 

You will work as a Coder and research information on government restrictions on religion as well as religious hostilities and violence and assist Pew Research Center in updating a dataset measuring these phenomena around the world. Coders will comb through major international reports such as the U.S. State Department’s annual International Religious Freedom reports and conflict databases. "
