What’s happening at Columbia will go down as a pivotal moment in U.S. student protest history. Yet Columbia, home to the Pulitzers and the Knight First Amendment, isn’t letting journalists, faculty, researchers in.

These arrests across campuses in the United States are happening *while* Biden is trying to prevent Netanyahu from being arrested for war crimes

The police violence inflicted upon my friend Steve Tamari for standing against Netanyahu’s genocide is indicative of the brutality communities face around the world when they dare to demand peace & justice, from St. Louis to Gaza. We need peace, diplomacy and a #CeasefireNow!

Tomorrow Congress is holding more hearings on whether Jewish students feel safe enough, while tonight, Zionist protestors at UCLA are launching fireworks directly into the Palestine encampment, tearing down camp infrastructure & attacking students

The faculty member calling out to protect students: "Don't do it. These are young people. Don't do it. Peaceful protestors inside. Don't do it. Peaceful protestors. CUNY faculty right here. Lots of faculty here. Don't do it."

I wrote this about America and George Floyd on the first anniversary of his death — so much yet too little has changed since then. apps.bostonglobe.com/metro/social-j…

So much of the dialogue about the apparent anti-white racism in a society where Black people remain on the bottom of every indicator of well being is, in truth, just projection. Plenty of jobs out there that Black people cant get — but we’ve actually got data and research studies

By the end of 2025, research shows a third of U.S. local newspapers will be closed for good. Many remaining are broke and understaffed. But local newsrooms are still a vital force for good in communities across the country. Proof, just in the last year, of what we stand to lose:

If Republicans in Congress want to help make our country safe, I have some ideas for them.

“When Trump said we would forge ‘the freest, most advanced, most dynamic and most dominant civilization ever to exist on the face of this Earth,’ well if that is what he decrees, who are we not to comply on our own terms?” Right now, that means fighting his oppressive orders.

After weeks of blocking food, water & fuel, the Israeli govt has resumed its bombing of Gaza—slaughtering over 400 Palestinians & putting the remaining hostages at risk. Unconscionable. The US must stop funding this genocide & use every diplomatic tool to restore the ceasefire.

Language matters. And Diddy’s dark twisted fantasies are not freak-offs. They are a fatal train of sex trafficking, abuse, and violence. bostonglobe.com/2025/05/15/met…
