In case you, like me, are wondering about what happened at Stanford University's Creative Writing program.

Stanford fired every single one of its lecturers in creative writing—a devastating, short sighted, and cruel decision that will not serve our students. My solidarity to these colleagues, who deserve better.

The Israeli government has launched the largest invasion of the West Bank in decades—with fighter jets, drones, armored vehicles, and ground forces. The goal has always been the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

CBS poll: 61% of Americans oppose weapons aid to Israel’s assault in Gaza. 77% of Democrats and 63% of self-identifying moderates reject US weapons aid to Israel. 77% of under 30 oppose weapons aid to Israel, 75% of Black Americans, 66% of women, 56% of white college grads.

this is happening soon and you can still join! also, a quick note: there have been a lot of sign-ups (almost 100!) so it will be a little less intimate/interactive, but the brilliant madeline leung coleman is coming in to moderate/guide the conversation

Isn't this literally the policy that provoked Berkeley's Free Speech Movement in 1964?

when i lose hope in this country i remember there’s another country hidden all around us filled with wild ungoverned living things resisting our schemes all the time. and that helps
