As recent Columbia graduate and leading activist in the Palestine solidarity movement Mahmoud Khalil remains in detention in a Louisiana immigration facility, forces across the country are uniting to fight for his release.

Last year, Khalil was a negotiator between student organizers participating in the Gaza Solidarity Encampment and Columbia University, fighting for their institution’s divestment from institutions that support the Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people. Many view Khalil’s arrest by immigration authorities on March 9 as a major crackdown by the Trump administration on free speech and one of the largest grassroots movements in recent US history: the movement in solidarity with Palestine.

#PeoplesHistory | On this day in 1845, Māori warriors led by Hōne Heke and Te Ruki Kawiti made a bold stand against British Occupation Forces and settler colonialists in the Battle of Kororāreka (now Russell). Their victory saw the triumphant raising of the Māori United Tribes' flag—a powerful symbol of unity and resistance.

The defeat forced many settlers to flee New Zealand and sell their land, marking a significant moment in the fight for Māori sovereignty.
