Boston University students walked out of class today to protest the arrests of 100+ pro-Palestinian student demonstrators at Columbia University yesterday. Students at Harvard and MIT are also walking out today.

How does the Prince Andrew Scoop 'sweat' scene compares to real Newsnight interview?

How the British media make Meghan the villain in their story when they literally had this on their laps? #scoop his defense was that he doesn’t sweat 😂😂😂😂🫣

Such a film could never be produced about Hugh ranking officials of certain regions. Very good and highly recommend 10/10 #scoop the costume team deserves all the awards. The shooting weekend scene lol 🫣😂🫣

my view this 5am

Disturbing

Perfect time to mention my short interview with Shai Davidai. I questioned him on his allegations on being connected to the chemical attacks against Palestinian Columbia students and students in general. The targeting and harassment of students at Columbia, mainly young women and

A man in New York City just set himself outside the courthouse where President trump’s trial is ongoing. No motive has been reported yet

As a Barnard College graduate I am shocked & ashamed that it & Columbia University are violently crushing the right of students to peacefully protest.

This is not who we are. Both schools must immediately reinstate these students & protect their right to fight for a free Palestine.

If it doesn’t matter then some of those who attended shouldn’t try and twist themselves like matumbu ane guru to justify attending. Attend with your full chest & enjoy the show. Also we can’t rate our reaction to 3 years ago. Each year is different.

Apologies, this one is a little dark.

National Event. My foot!

On behalf of my people from Nkayi and Silobela may I thank the so called second republic for marking our highway.

If he has one hater
If he has half a hater

You have to fuck up on a truly historic level to get the NYPD to say “even we think these were meaningless arrests.” They love meaningless arrests!

Nope. China said it dropped interest-free loans that matured in 2015. No data.

~ Zimbabwe still owes China US$2bn (half is for Hwange power plant)
~ Zim owes Paris Club (Western countries) $3.9bn
~ Owes lenders (World Bank, AfDB, EIB) $3.1bn

Up to the gills in arrears, still.

Multinationals, from Unilever to Nestle, are scaling back in Africa.
“Those spaces that were used for production, now they’re empty spaces”

Can local brands replace them?

This is incredible. World Bank comparison of how much a worker making $1,000 in Soweto keeps after taxes and transport costs vs a similar worker in Vietnam.

A damning indictment of both apartheid's spatial legacy and subsequent failures to expand public transport.

#NYC Morning Everyone! I’m reporting inside Columbia’s campus where students have simply rebuilt the encampment zone on the other lawn after yesterday’s sweep.

The original lawn, once a designated ‘free speech zone’ for students, is now just placeholder for construction cargo.
