This was done with zero warning. @columbiasjp was unable to appeal the decision. I talked to several Columbia students. @meta is preventing students from making backup accounts about Palestine. Perfect example of the Palestine Exception.

This line has always been unserious and extremely convenient but it truly is the perfect dead eyed, careerist liberal go-to. Morality is a non sequitur, hiding behind process and feigned helplessness. Faux Savvy, backing horrible things without the courage to defend them. 10/10

I still canā€™t get over the Dem Party removing Opposition to Torture from their platform and most people donā€™t know or care.

My brain feels like a tornado trying to find the words to describe the urgency. The need. The pain. The way that even the simplest of things are impossible to get. The way that the scarcity exacerbates the pain in ways that many are not even aware of or perhaps might not be

This is an utterly shocking account from journalist Sarah Wilkinson of her recent violent arrest by 16 counter-terrorism police, several masked, at 7.30am. They smashed up, or stole, many of her belongings; emptied an urn of her mother's remains over the floor; have denied her

here is the partner of American aid worker Jacob Flickinger recently hunted down and murdered by Israel with US weapons. No one from the US government even reached out to help. They killed her partner, father of her baby boy, then covered it up, all for their precious Israel

The The New York Times is manufacturing consent for Israel's killing of American activist, Aysenur Ezgi Eygi. The only violence at these demonstrations is from settlers who attack and harass activists with impunity.

One thing for people to toss around in their heads is why police unions are always on the same side as large corporations. It's a helpful observation about the purpose of police/prisons for people who don't have time to learn the history of how modern police forces started.
