I asked @JosephEStiglitz, longtime @Columbia scholar and Nobel-winning economist, what the establishment doesn’t understand about what campus protesters are trying to say. the.ink/p/joseph-stigl…
The status quo cannot continue in Gaza. Famine is imminent. I joined 50 NGO leaders to call on President Biden to use all leverage, including security assistance, to secure a series of steps that would help address this humanitarian catastrophe: rescue.org/press-release/…
WATCH: I just spoke to UT students protesting for peace in Gaza. "We must continue raising our voices, because no matter what Greg Abbott says, our movement is rooted in love."
“Laws of the school?” That’s not a thing. The inaccuracy of what constitutes a law in your statement is highly concerning, considering it is law enforcement putting their hands on kids. NYPD promised to not call counterterror SRG units on protests. It’s time to keep your word.

The assassination of political rivals as an official act. Understand what the Trump team is arguing for here. Take it seriously and at face value. This is not a game.
No, Mr. Netanyahu. It is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 – 70% of whom are women and children. You will not distract us from this immoral war.

Several here, like Reps. Lawler and D’Esposito, are vulnerable NY Republicans in tight seats. They have played a key role drumming up pressure to crack down on students and asymmetrically police Palestinian human rights speech. Those campus hearings? GOP-led. They need to lose.

Not only did Columbia make the horrific decision to mobilize NYPD on their own students, but the units called in have some of the most violent reputations on the force. NYPD had promised the city they wouldn’t deploy SRG to protests. So why are these counterterror units here?

Sen. Sanders’ family was killed in the Holocaust. He dedicates his every moment to realizing tikkun olam. His commitment to protecting innocents in Gaza stems FROM his Jewish values. He and many other Jewish leaders deserve better than to be treated this way. This is shameful.

BREAKING: The FTC just banned non-compete agreements. The Federal Trade Commission has issued a final rule making it illegal for bosses to make workers sign noncompetes in any scenario, and voiding nearly all existing noncompetes. This is a game changer for American workers.
Calling in police enforcement on nonviolent demonstrations of young students on campus is an escalatory, reckless, and dangerous act. It represents a heinous failure of leadership that puts people’s lives at risk. I condemn it in the strongest possible terms.

This Emory Professor was charged with “battery against a police officer.” It’s unreal but it’s what happens when you call in the police as a a substitute for actual engagement on hard questions - you know, that thing that our universities exist for….
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
It says a lot about The Establishment that there's not a single op-ed on the NYT or Washington Post home pages about the police crackdown on college campuses. A real deer-in-the-headlights moment for elite punditry
So far, Columbia, Indiana University and Northwestern have all had admin bypass faculty committees to unilaterally change codes in order to suspend and ban protesters.
Northwestern President Michael Schill changed the student code of conduct *THIS MORNING* to ban tents from campus as students set up their Palestine protest encampment. And he threatened students with suspension, expulsion or criminal charges. chicago.suntimes.com/israel-hamas-w…

Fohlin’s husband, John Latting, is the Emory Dean of Admissions. This is going to be an interesting night in @EmoryUniversity’s top administrative echelons.
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
Really important to remember as well, though, that some campuses are just letting their encampments continue without interference, and that at those campuses everything generally seems to be entirely fine.
It's kind of dizzying how fast these campuses are just throwing maximum cops at the encampments immediately, basically from jump
The *base budget* for the NYPD is $11 billion- not even including overtime & massive civil rights settlement payments. But he can't afford $58.3 million to keep public libraries open. Thats just .05% of the police budget. A budget is a statement of values. Eric Adams has…
Mayor Adams and his advisers confirm the executive budget doesn't reverse any of the $58.3 million in library cuts. Library leaders say this will result in elimination of universal six-day library service in NYC and other program cuts.
Might sound weird, but I think thousands of kids at elite universities from immense privilege risking their (earned or unearned) status for the lives of people they will never meet is breathtakingly beautiful
