It is so wild to come out from a training where I was helping leaders have a power analysis & engage with distributing power and then come on here and watch the universe of leaders choosing violent domination as a way to move forward.

The United the Right rally included official, explicitly anti-Semitic slogans (among other things) and someone was ACTUALLY killed.

But sure, Ari Fleischer thinks the encampments are worse.

Almost 54 years to the day of Kent State.

.WKCR-FM NY calling into question the claim that the protestors arrested are not students. They report that the campus has kept out non students for nearly two weeks so if this is true whatever blocks the university put in place would not have worked.

this is all to…keep investing in israel?

Just now, student journalists of WKCR taking refuge at Pulitzer Hall — my old workplace — where journalism school is housed, on air:

“If journalists leave Pulitzer Hall they are told they will be arrested.”

All this silence and tacit approval from those dislike these protests will result in entrenching the very tools that will be unleashed against everything else as well.

Maybe during this the second Trump presidency.

Ask those of us from the Middle East. We’ve seen this movie.

Horrifying.

Has everyone lost the plot? So little attention either to the actual war in Gaza or all this?

Some students being foolish seems minor compared to a nationwide crackdown on protest—in red states but not just.

What rights will people miss under a Trump presidency?

This shouldn’t be a heartwarming story. Kids should have lunch debt. Kids shouldn’t have to help other kids get out of lunch debt.

The first president in us history to face a criminal trial and it genuinely seems to me like there are more stories about columbia students right now????

Defund Border Patrol. Abolish ICE. Stop his whole corrupt, violent, racist system needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.

From the Montreal Holocaust Museum’s website about the Bosnian Genocide: “Families were separated: men were forced to remain while women and children were boarded on buses and deported.”

What a beautiful set of days we had with the inaugural Brava Leadership Institute fellows. So proud and so joyful to watch folks feel regenerated and supported. #BLI2024

A society is an orchestra. We all play our instruments.

Historically, students have played a vital role: forcing moral questions that sometimes blinkered, jaded, habituated, corrupted elders refuse to face.

Let them. Their social function isn't to be as faultless as your CPA...

Nancy Reagan telling kids to 'just say no' ushered in a spike of drug/alcohol use. Hard to imagine what - if actually heard - could better *dissuade* young from voting than being excoriated for not doing so.
What DOES mobisuade young people.../1

The best and worst of America in a single clip

Once you reach a certain age, a great way to go through life is, whenever you hear young people saying something that challenges you or that you don’t understand, presuming they may have a point and becoming curious about what you may not see. Just be curious. Avoid obsolescence!

Who plays your parents in a biopic?

FIVE MONTHS AGO the ‘Blood Tribe,’ a white supremacist, neo nazi group demonstrated on the University of Wisconsin campus, brandishing rifles, carrying swastika flags, and chanting “Israel is not our friend” and “there will be blood,blood,blood.”

The protesters were all white

I’m old enough to remember when young people were derided as “Twitter warriors” who didn’t actually do anything or risk anything
