I have trespassed in peaceful protest.
I have shutdown govt offices in civil disobedience.
I have made the powerful uncomfortable in their routines as I’ve dissented in peaceful but committed disorder.
Those are the American traditions of Thomas Paine, David Thoreau, Rosa Parks

BREAKING: This brilliant speech yesterday by a Columbia professor on the cowardice of the university administration in calling in police to arrest students will be cited throughout history -– and will inspire generations of students for decades to come.

Columbia still on…

'dissent must never lead to disorder' is a pretty remarkable thing to say in a country founded on both of those things

i'm going crazy lol this was the schedule for the protest at UT austin yesterday. they sent state troopers with riot gear and horses to stop an art workshop and a pizza party

Massive faculty walkout at Columbia University opposing the university’s decision to call in NYPD on Palestine solidarity protests:

In Gaza, I studied at two universities and worked at a third. Professors who taught me have been killed, colleagues have been murdered, and the campuses where I studied and worked lay mostly in ruins. The entire academic system has been obliterated by Israel's bombs. Yet, here,…

Our team spent long hours reporting on and around Columbia’s campus on Thursday & Friday. I want to clear some stuff up. I didn’t see a single instance of violence or aggression on the lawn or at the student encampment. The student-led protest was peaceful and often very quiet…

Trent Reznor really did capture the spirit of twitter

American Lawyer gives its 'Litigator of the Year' award to someone who helped defend Johnson & Johnson against claims that their baby powder caused cancer and swept the liabilities into a shell company which was then sent into bankruptcy. truly a cursed profession.

goodbye everyone, i'm the same @ on Giga Pet™ so make sure to feed me and make me poop there or i will die

So which one of y’all wants to try the #BabeRuthChallenge 😂

insurance commercials in the 1950s: a real man buys life insurance so that his family will be taken care of after he dies in a cool car crash

insurance commercials now: jon hamm wants to have sex with our mascot

me: time for some music

bluetooth headphones: excellent. instead of connecting to your phone, i’ve connected to your neighbor’s fridge for some reason

Today is a reminder of how hilariously disorienting Twitter can be. An endless stream of overwrought tributes to a monarch, jokes about her death & then random brand tweets like 'On behalf of the entire Weber Grill family, we solemnly lay down our tongs in her majesty's memory.'

i think the most important lesson from all this don’t worry darling nonsense is that you can’t have a project that’s entirely made up of insanely hot people. you need some uggos and plainfaces to bring normal energy into the mix or else you get this fuckin trainwreck

so great to see you this weekend! i have no idea what i said because when i socialize i black out and go to a different realm with pretty colors and shapes where i am no longer afraid but!!! we must hang again soon

please somebody tell movies that knives don't make noise

i wish other professions besides pro sports had trades. like damn, glenn from HR got traded for cash considerations

(understanding 0% of what I’m being told as i’m getting trained for my new job) that all makes perfect sense, no questions
