When Reagan was given an honorary degree by UCG in 1984, three holders of honorary doctorates handed back their degrees at a 'deconferring' ceremony presided over by the ‘Acting Chancellor’, Peadar O’Donnell. A strong political tradition that has surfaced again today over Galway's ties to Israel.

Cause we always have to look for racism in the hearts or bones, never in the way Black people are actually regarded or treated.

The world is so messed up now. We should be still, suffused in mourning and grief and tears and silence. But the machine keeps going, feeding on our hopes and dreams and bodies and bones. Who interrupts the machine? Where does the machine end and humanity begin?

I’ll never regret speaking out against genocide. These institutions on the other hand are complicit and active participants.

A private jet touched down in Shannon Airport. Onboard were Palestinian deportees from the US, their wrists and ankles shackled. It’s not that the Irish state doesn’t want to involve itself with this depravity – it doesn’t want to acknowledge it. www.ontheditch.com/comment-the-...

For the last two and a half years the state has done all it can to reserve judgment on Israeli genocide.

"Why do you talk about genocide at parties" "Why do you talk about genocide with kids around" "Why do you talk about genocide during work calls" "Why do you talk about genocide with people who have their own shit going on" Why do you talk about genocide when... BECAUSE there is a GENOCIDE.

I also propose hazard pay for those who give talks on racial injustice due to being constantly gaslit by the inevitable claims of the end of all racism. "It often feels that [some people] would rather believe that all their colleagues and students of colour were lying!" Than admit racism exists.

Israel doesn’t have the right to defend itself. Colonized people, however, do have the right to armed resistance against an occupying power. Yet, time and again, we see anticolonial resistance portrayed as barbarism, savagery, and terrorism.

It’s not a fucking humanitarian crisis, a fucking war, or a fucking conflict. It’s a genocide against a people who, for decades, have refused to be displaced, permanently occupied, and erased. Those who remained silent & complicit helped create the world that now awaits us all.
