reminder. this is a flashbang

To the professional journos I've engaged with the past few days: I'm a journalist, not a source.

I have lots of DMs from journos asking what I saw at CCNY yesterday but few replies from editors who want to pay for my work.

Here’s your funding for mental health care, your street repair, your environmental code enforcement, your bike lanes, your bus routes, your homelessness caseworkers, your housing inspectors, your parks and libraries, your pre-k, your legal aid, your tree canopy,

The police were just chased out of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at UCLA by demonstrators.

I did not approve these edits and I condemn the moral cowardice behind them. Name the hand behind the deaths of 15,000 children. It is Israeli violence, funded and supported by the US and the UK.

We could not be more thrilled to announce our third album “FOREVER” out August 16th, available for pre-order with merch bundle NOW. This is the purest distillation of everything Charly Bliss. CB FOREVER ∞

liberate yourself from the burden of comparison

Mind-boggling that Biden repeatedly gives ironclad and unconditional support to Netanyahu, who is one of the most unpopular leaders in the world, actively wants Trump to win, and undermines and humiliates Biden at every turn.

Gen Z has agitated for action on gun control, climate change, reproductive justice, trans rights, voting rights, racial justice, immigrant rights, reducing police violence, and stopping genocide. Elders have failed them at literally every turn.

I am watching a toddler die on a table in a field hospital in Rafah with half her face blown apart while listening to college students fight tears reporting on a police assault on their campus for protesting that, and I feel like I am losing my fucking mind.

Here are some of the people trying to storm the encampment

The traditional council of Kahnawake has confirmed that students have the right to be on this land.

this event was described by the employer as follows: 'we made the decision to peaceably remove [the protesters]. Unfortunately, they physically resisted. In the process of making a total of 100 arrests, three police officers received significant injuries.'

Among so many lessons tonight is the necessity of community radio

MY THEORY ABOUT WHY STUDENTS ARE PROTESTING: they are upset about israeli military activity in gaza, and the role the united states government has in it

Columbia's web page discussing its regret for calling in police to arrest students in 1968 is displaying a warning about limited access due to NYPD on campus arresting students.

May Columbia never live this down.

Hmmm, this is not a both sides issue

also weed! don’t mind the snipers on campus tho. or the genocide
