this is happening in CALIFORNIA. whatever protection we think we have from being in a “blue” state is nonexistent. blue and red it’s all the same.

fascism is HERE.

biden can **** in hell.

🚨 LIBERATED!! University of Toronto students have SUCCESSFULLY set up their ENCAMPMENT of King's College Circle in SOLIDARITY WITH PALESTINE, despite attempts by police to disrupt our non-violent protest.

Welcome to the People's Circle for Palestine.

A bunch of non-Jewish people trying to legally redefine antisemitism in a way that hurts Jewish people speaking out against genocide feels antisemitic to me idk

Just to be clear this bill would ban over a century of Jewish diasporic history

This is scary that he can feel safe to say this at Toronto police service board meeting.

I think it's especially important to consider what our maybe next administration is reportedly planning on doing when we consider how we want to interpret freedom of speech/press/assembly/academic freedom.

To reiterate: I think, if you look at US Jewish history, we have been well served/kept safe by liberalism, pluralism, and civil rights. I do not think police storming campuses (even if a building's occupied or if you disagree with protesters) furthers those principles. 1/2

These Columbia Journalism students need freelance assignments, not interview requests. They are on the cusp of graduation, desperate for experience and clips, with a front-row seat to the biggest story in America—pay them to tell it!

Rep. Nadler Columbia University Some of the students in Columbia are Palestinian-Americans and have had family members killed by the IDF -- does that count as having a 'personal stake.' Or are Palestinians not human?

This is the graph everyone needs to see for International Workers' Day.

A student at Columbia today would have been between age 5 and 11 when Occupy Wall Street happened

More outside agitators funding campus unrest

This has been a long game. Criminalizing protest and boycotting, buying politicians, and changing the definition of antisemitism. Authoritarian creep.

Climate protest is being systematically criminalized in the US and even in Europe and the UK. The penalties imposed for convictions are entirely disproportionate to the disruption the protest causes.

So I was supposed to deliver the keynote at a @columbia symposium on climate and language this Friday, but I have informed the organizers that, with true sorrow, I am pulling out because I will not be associated with this university at this political moment.
