Seeing Aftershocks translated into Armenian is such a gift. I was also honored, with @BarbaSusan and Aram Mrjoian, to select a winner for @armliterary's creative writing grant. Congrats to @loriyeg! Her excerpt of her memoir "How to Survive a Genocide" was a standout.

I don’t understand the word “urges.” Why isn’t it “orders”? Isn’t this country the reason why this continues to happen? My people’s lives, after all the losses I have endured, hinges on this language. If you cannot control someone’s behavior, in this case a bloodthirsty state,…

Heartrending testimony from a doctor who witnessed the violence done to children in Gaza—shrapnel, loss of limb and life, sniper bullets in the chests. How can life go on for us when this is happening in Palestine?

To speak of legality regarding the slaughter of children is obscene.

The Israeli assault on Rafah is catastrophic. Children crushed to death. Humanitarian aid cut off. People starving. No refuge. This is a massacre. Stop arming Israel. #ceasefireNowPermanently

What an indescribable feeling it is to see @ColumbiaSpec on the latest cover of @NYMag. Our very own student journalists reported, wrote, photographed, and illustrated a three-story package that gives an intimate portrait into Columbia University: a campus in crisis.

"The youth are no longer asking. They are demanding. They are putting their own bodies on the line; they are walking into the water." A gorgeous & forceful exploration of Exodus & the campus protests from @hannahpgold my former student & forever teacher thebaffler.com/latest/parting…

I’ve taught a writing seminar on home & exile at Columbia. Our work is not theoretical. It's about our communities & lives. Amidst the violent suppression of protest on campus I'm grateful to read my former student @elenadudum's essay of disciplined hope. theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…

4/24 is Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. As I reflect on my family’s experience, I’m clear that protest is remembrance, action is remembrance, solidarity is remembrance. Never again means for anyone. Again is now. Free Palestine.

It's shameful that Columbia is suspending and having students arrested for peacefully protesting genocide.

Press release from Columbia University Apartheid Divest states “at least 100” students were detained by NYPD today. It includes a portion of an email from Columbia Pres. Shafik stating she authorized the NYPD to clear the lawn, which previously was deemed a “free speech zone.”
