“Our existence here is political.” Irish rap trio @kneecapceol are no strangers to controversy or for standing up for the oppressed – from Palestine to Cuba. @dena spoke to them about their music and their politics.

Israel has just charged settler Yinon Levi with killing Palestinian human rights defender Awdah Hathaleen last year. But how likely is a conviction? @dena spoke with Awdah’s cousin after the news broke.

Did you know some pro-Palestine activists have been held in solitary confinement, while others are being sentenced as “terrorists”? @Dena explains what’s happening to those who took direct action to protest Israel’s genocide.

BREAKING: After setting the Christian village of Taybeh on fire, Israeli settlers are now at the entrance of the Christian city of Bethlehem, throwing stones at cars — under the protection of the Israeli army.

Americans who signed up to donate their bodies to science after death are now backing out after learning they could end up on an operating table in front of Israeli military surgeons. @dena explains.

Israeli military medics are training on dead Americans. And it’s all happening thanks to a little-known connection between two U.S. universities and the Navy. @Dena reports in collaboration with the student journalists who broke the story about the body donor program.

Replying to @RutgersU
@RutgersU canceled a graduation speaker because of his views on Palestinian rights. That’s unconstitutional. CCR has sent a letter to Rutgers demanding they reinstate Rami Elghandour as the 2026 School of Engineering convocation speaker.

Do better @RutgersU. Thousands of your students and faculty want to hear @RamiElghandour speak. You are disrespecting all of us when you cancel him bc “~5 students” complained. What about the 1000s of students who deserve to be represented? theguardian.com/us-news/2026… #LetRamiSpeak

Prem Thakker@prem_thakkerMay 6
NEW: Months ago, Rami Elghandour (biotech CEO & "The Voice of Hind Rajab" EP) was invited to give a Rutgers grad speech. It's now canceled. Because some students complained about his posts. He takes us inside the cancelation in his first video interview:youtube.com/watch?v=CJryezSc…
