An alum of the World Bank and the IMF is directing an authoritarian attack on free expression at a university, in defense of American foreign policy. It’s like Columbia is trying to vindicate every slipshod caricature of the liberal order it can.
Does Twitter's "I'm not interested in this post" do anything at all? I tag a dozen posts, come back later the same day and find the exact same posts turning up in my feed. Is tagging them a complete waste of time?
"As working people, we must come together. We can no longer allow corporations, politicians and borders to divide us.
It’s time we reclaimed May Day for the working class.
That’s what our May Day contract expiration is all about."--@ShawnFainUAWinthesetimes.com/article/may-da…
The universities that stayed silent while lecturers were blown up are now nearly killing their own staff through police brutality. Solidarity to US colleagues and students. This isn’t democracy. It’s authoritarianism. It deserves our strongest condemnation as a global community

Massive brutal police repression of students. Called in by administrators. With the Biden Administration’s vocal support. All to protect a genocide. During an election year. Morally revolting and politically suicidal.

Tonight as NYPD assaults protesters at Columbia & clears out student journalists, I am thinking of this:
Remember this?
Dr. Mahmoud Abu Nujaila wrote this on October 20th, on a whiteboard normally used for planning surgeries, in Gaza. Israel killed him in November 2023.
Rafah is being decimated, there is nowhere else left to go. Israel is now bombing more than 1.7 million civilians trapped in Rafah, Gaza's last place of refuge. A massacre is happening in Rafah right now and the world is silent.
Every union member in the country should take a long, hard look at how the state is treating a bunch of rich college kids hanging out in tents on a college quad because all that shit is coming to a picket line near you very, very soon.
