💥You heard it here first. Netanyahu issued two statements Saturday aimed at preventing Hamas from accepting a deal freeing Israeli hostages. It worked.

Utilizando las herramientas de la geografía electoral, confeccioné mapas que capturan las bases territoriales de los partidos principales entre 2009 y 2019: PRD, Panameñista y CD.

Los partidos han mutado, nuevos han surgido, y el sistema de partidos podría tomar otro rumbo hoy.

Panamá 🇵🇦 votará mañana en sus séptimas elecciones desde la Invasión.

Una de las principales características del comportamiento político panameño ha sido su alta y estable participación electoral.🗳️

En este hilo desgrano estadísticas descriptivas del voto entre 2004 y 2019. 🧵

In a letter from the editors in Columbia Daily Spectator, Esha Karam and I offer a sharp critique of Columbia and the NYPD’s reprehensible treatment of our journalists as officers harassed, bullied, and forced us off campus before brutalizing our peers (🧵): columbiaspectator.com/opinion/2024/0…

What an indescribable feeling it is to see Columbia Daily Spectator on the latest cover of New York Magazine. Our very own student journalists reported, wrote, photographed, and illustrated a three-story package that gives an intimate portrait into Columbia University: a campus in crisis.

“The NYPD cleared our campus only minutes before mass arrests because it wanted to prevent the press from bearing witness to the brutality police would enact against our peers,” Spectator’s editor in chief and managing editor write.

#TelAviv live: As reports come in that Hamas has accepted the latest US-Egyptian brokered deal (hostages release // ceasefire), thousands are out on the street expressing their distrust of @Netanyahu as initial signs already suggest he is bent on wrecking the deal. #GazaWar

Tel Aviv protest tonight:

-End the war
- Hostage release
-No to Rafah invasion.
- The government must fall.

Listen to the voice of Columbia students represented by their Council in this letter rather than the distorted narrative of politicians and the media

Without protests, we would still live in a segregated country.

Without protests, women would still be second class citizens.

Without protests, the LGBTQ+ community would still be hiding their identities.

Oh.

It seems the Gospel would be banned for antisemitism with this new regulation.
Given the use of this argument on pogroms for along time not sure what caused the surprise

For @POLITICO Nightly, I wrote about what it's like being a senior at Columbia University while simultaneously reporting on a campus I hardly recognize.

The past 14 days have been historic for Columbia: protesters pitched tents, organizers led protests and counter-protests, and Columbia saw two mass arrests within two weeks. Spectator outlined the key events of each day of the encampment since April 17.

WATCH-- Chris Hayes: It's easier to argue about what college kids are doing than to confront the human misery and destruction that's happening in the actual conflict which is, of course, the source of these protests.

National Science Foundation funding in political science went overwhelmingly to quantitative research & methods, helping to drive the field in that direction

Y’all - Pls correct inaccurate news from MSM, including by CNN -- those arrested in the first roundup at Columbia University WERE ALL STUDENTS. About 26 Columbia college & about 58 Barnard College students arrested & suspended. The others were from other schools AT COLUMBIA. No outsides.
