Prof Jacoby's class on environmental history was one of the most impactful experiences of my college career that showed me how history, when done right, can lead us towards empathy and courage to do what is right for humanity. Very iconic behaviour tbh

A Dartmouth 🌲 hero, my colleague ⁦Annelise Orleck⁩, brutalized, jailed, & banned for photographing NH State riot squad seizing her students. Cops also arrested a journalist videoing her arrest, & then another journalist who protested them grabbing her colleague.

stop with the billionaires who bully with their stupid $ -stay strong Brown University !

I received a world-class History education at Columbia and wish Columbia President Shafik had as well

Please amplify: Félix V. Matos Rodríguez is allowing the over-charging of CUNY students--many are facing felonies--while Columbia intervened for its students.

She says protestors 'crossed a line' when they occupied Hamilton Hall... but she called the police on her students ten days before that happened!

Does she think her students are morons? Why would they listen to her until that she notes her error in escalating the situation?

From yesterday: Hundreds of experts, educators and students are getting involved with the new Alliance for Texas History, which seeks “to tell accurate, comprehensive, and inclusive history.” buff.ly/44qvntj

New York University 4/Police raids do not serve the university’s own interests in maintaining peace and civility on campus. As a historian of protest in the US, I can attest to one clear pattern Bringing law enforcement to campus invariably intensifies protests, fuels acrimony, & worsens distrust.

U.S. Marijuana Legalization Smashed Mexico's Weed Exports - As Intended

Between 2013 and 2023, cannabis seizures on the border fell by 97.5 percent!

But I was wrong. This didn't, as many hoped, weaken cartels, which are worse than ever.

'We, faculty members of the History Department of Columbia University, condemn the use of police force against students, as well as the ongoing presence of the NYPD on our campus. We insist upon the rights of students and scholars to engage in nonviolent protest or public speech'

A letter from the faculty in History at Columbia history.columbia.edu/department-fac…

I will never work with Columbia affiliate on any academic project, collaboration, or research again. This is unconscionable. There should be a full academic boycott of Columbia until the board and president Minouche Shafik resign. This is a disgrace.

The enforcer president of Columbia University— Minouche Shafik—is one of the wealthiest people in America. As president, she makes over $2000 an hour every weekday. In three days, she makes more than many blue collar workers at Columbia make in a year. -R

Columbia President Shafik sits on the Pulitzer Prizes board, which praises the student journalists for braving through violence and gaslighting, which Shafik publicly endorsed and sanctioned. I’m having a kafkaesque moment here.

Rebecca Weiner Columbia University professor serves as intelligence director of the NYPD. Mayor Eric Adams Adams credits her with spying on anti-genocide student protesters and directing the militarized raid that dislodged them from campus.

#COINTELPRO at its finest.
