I have gotten a few questions about how to donate to student journalism outlets without supporting Columbia itself. Columbia Daily Spectator is an independent nonprofit with zero financial ties to the university, if you want to kick them some money. specpublishing.com/donate-1

NYPD forcibly removed hijabs from multiple muslim columbia students in jail, we kept chanting “let her wear her hijab” over and over from inside our cells. one of them was told to shut up by an officer when she demanded to get back her hijab. columbia unleashed these pigs on us.

BREAKING: Police arrested 282 people last night at Columbia University and CCNY

This moment is very clarifying. The connections between carceral states, academic institutions, and global imperial projects is in sharp focus.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: no one besmirches Gen Z on my watch. They are brave, principled, and extraordinary.

The mainstream media’s coverage of the campus protests against the Gaza genocide is actually worse, more biased, more dishonest, than its coverage of the Gaza genocide itself, which I actually didn’t think possible.

should we be concerned that the professors who are taking on the greatest risk of being beaten and arrested seem to be mostly historians

For folks with iPhones outside NYC airwaves, you can tune in by searching WKCR 89.9 on the iTunes app. Extraordinary journalism happening in real time. We love you WKCR-FM NY

It should be much bigger news that Dartmouth’s Chair of Jewish Studies has been banned from campus for trying to defend her students. Many of these protesters are Jewish. Many of these faculty members are Jewish. Calling these protesters antisemitic is putting them in danger.

All my thoughts today with Palestinian mothers, Sudanese mothers, Congolese mothers, Black mothers, indigenous mothers, incarcerated mothers… may we honor and strengthen the love that binds us to you and protect and defend the life you’ve given this planet.

Happy Mother's Day! Being pregnant or postpartum in the United States is statistically more dangerous than being an on-duty police officer!

I feel like I need a tutor to make ride reservations (?!) for my kids at Disney World. I have many complex skills and yet this is the task that overwhelms me. Is this a service somebody provides???

I think Janicza Bravo made an incredibly relevant, complex comment on sex work with ZOLA and it didn’t get the critical appreciation it should have. It’s interpretable as a direct feminist rejoinder to the SW fantasy of Magic Mike, right down to Tampa. It’s bleak & very smart.

Quick clarification. If you’re a regular asshole, you’ll hear my objection. But if you make fun of a disabled kid expressing joy and love, I will absolutely body you. Yard sale. Face down. On sight. Walter White in the pilot. Insult a neurodivergent kid and I am the danger.
