BREAKING: USC just cancelled graduation

The purpose of housing is to provide shelter, not for a return on investment hope that helps

this was the schedule for today btw

I want to be as clear as I possibly can:

Nonviolent students calling for their universities and government to stop giving Israel money and weapons while it kills thousands of innocent people in Gaza

is not the same

as when Nazis attempted to exterminate the Jewish people.

A girl watching her dad play a drum: violent, scary, worthy of national media attention.

Bombs that collapse entire apartment blocks on top of their inhabitants: that's complicated, who can say, who are we to judge, maybe they all had it coming, best to avoid talking about it.

Don’t usually do *this* but, thread: Monday, SCOTUS debates the criminalization of homelessness. That means many folks are sounding off on the topic. I’ve spent 4 yrs covering this for The Washington Post, and need to reality-check assumptions getting thrown around this week (1/x)

Petition for companies to make mini dresses that taller girls can wear bc i am obsessed with them but I’ve gotten so many that I’ve had to return because they are WAYYYY too short like I’d be flashing everyone and I’m only 5’6??

In 1987, the MIT Coalition Against Apartheid protested against MIT's ties to apartheid South Africa by erecting a shantytown.

Today, in the same location, students are protesting MIT's ties to genocide & apartheid in Palestine via the Scientists Against Genocide encampment. 🇵🇸

The most prophetic statement of the 21st century

there are people who will pick through every word of what some random students at a pro-palestine protest are saying looking for something offensive, meanwhile your average mainstream israeli media voice is saying shit like this on TV without challenge

scared

This is crazy. Israel arrested a renowned feminist scholar teaching at Hebrew University in Jerusalem - who is a dual American and Israeli citizen (!) - because she accused Israel of genocide in Gaza and questioned reports of mass rape on Oct 7th.

Her family and colleagues are…

Palestinians uncovered a second mass grave in Gaza with over 300 bodies, the majority Palestinian children and the elderly. The Israeli military killed and discarded them during its assault on the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.

This is a pattern. This is what a well-funded…

I think we can now retire the conversation about the “correct” way to protest because no form of protest is ever going to be appropriate for those in power. The goalposts move, time and time again.

interesting to think about what the state of Israel is giving itself permission to do when it calls American students terrorists

Today the Supreme Court is hearing a case on whether or not homeless people can be punished for sleeping outside when there's no shelter space available.

This is the biggest case on the issue of homelessness in decades, and could de facto criminalize being homeless.

Sending love as Passover approaches, to Jewish college students. In particular, a shout to those whose Jewish practices are being invisibilized and rendered anti-Jewish. Your pro-Palestine activism is not a threat to 'Jewish students.' It is an extension of your Judaism.

The media refuses to acknowledge that Jewish students are heavily represented in the pro-Palestine protests because it just wouldn’t fit with the safety narrative

Student uprisings have been right on nearly all justice issues in recent history. They were right about civil rights, women’s rights, Vietnam, South Africa, drug war, guns. Now, they’re right to denounce Israel’s genocide against Palestinians and US complicity in the slaughter.

I am really worried about the flotilla people. It is very clear that Israel will get away with massacring people indiscriminately, no matter what passport they hold. They are very brave people. May the force be with you #FreedomFlotilla
