BREAKING: The Department of Education has announced that Columbia University University is under federal investigation for anti-Palestinian discrimination and harassment. Palestine Legal is representing four Palestinian students and Columbia UniversitySJP.

should we be concerned that the professors who are taking on the greatest risk of being beaten and arrested seem to be mostly historians

I genuinely want people to be embarrassed by the fact that they would have been against the civil rights movement. every single person cheering on the police, including eric adams, would have been on the wrong side of history. regardless of your identity.

Almost every student I interviewed at Columbia spoke about how they woke up every morning to graphic images of Gazans being bombed, with US support, and could not accept that this was normal.

A lot of boomers are trying to assuage their guilt for not speaking out against these…

Pierre was clear yesterday: he will use the notwithstanding clause to take away your rights, if given the chance.

This, from the guy who claims to care about “freedom”?

All he cares about is power. And he’ll say anything to get it.

Friendly reminder that Dr. King was 26 years old at the time of the Montgomery Bus Boycott—not that much older than most of the students occupying campuses at the moment. For those folks who think these brave young people ain’t old enough to have enough sense for moral clarity.

No one asks how Palestinian students are supposed to 'feel safe' at institutions who invest in and profit off of the murder of their relatives.

In a country where children go hungry, people die unhoused and libraries are only open part time, this is where our resources go

Poilievre tells police union conference he’ll override charter rights to keep an innocent man like Umar Zameer in prison without trial

Trust me to block courts from protecting rights, he says cbc.ca/news/politics/…

VICTORY!! BROWN COMMITS TO DIVESTMENT VOTE! Brown administration has conceded to students’ demand that the Corporation vote on divestment after years of tireless pressure from the student body, 61 student arrests, an eight day hunger strike and seven days of encampment

When asked if today plays into the narrative that Poilievre is being “silenced,” Miller responds “Who’s being silenced? He doesn’t shut up. It would be great if he could shut his yap once in a while.” #cdnpoli

I’m sick of this “what about Trudeau” crap every time I post about Poillievre so let’s do this.

What Trudeau policies do you have an issue with? And let’s stick to policies, people.

Any attempt to distract with corruption, blackface, F- Trudeau, type comments gets you banned.

Columbia University protestors get upset when I talk about STAR WARS

canadian universities for the most part: 'students, go be the change you want to see in the world! fight injustice! stand up for what's right! use your education to critically think about the world around you'

also canadian universities this week: 'no, very much not like that.'

“Israeli arms are being tested in Canada, in Alberta … Canada should not be buying from these companies … When will Canada finally impose a two-way arms embargo?” - an important challenge to Mélanie Joly from Heather McPherson #ArmsEmbargoNow

WTF?

After seven months I am baffled that so-called intellectuals can’t grasp the most basic truth that there are humans around the world live-streaming the most barbaric slaughter of fellow humans and wanting it to stop. That’s it. You can stop writing your op-eds and go home now.

The best and worst of America in a single clip

The college protests are a reminder to everyone at how quickly the police are mobilized to violently arrest anyone that political leaders don’t like.

The students are “dangerous” simply because they disagree. I hope you’re seeing this.

I love the Irish 🔥

“It is genocide, and it needs to stop. The international community needs to make it stop. They must stop arming Israel now.”
