I mean, never mind Harvard. You should pick literally anywhere but Columbia. Everyone I know wants to get the fuck out of here. The University won’t even name the students who’ve been abducted, much less meaningfully protect any of us. www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

The Democratic Party is one of those political institutions that has become so non-viable for the current era that I don’t think it’s reformable. Maybe save the name if you want, but entire set of rules, consultant-leeches, and funders needs to disband.

What’s wild is that none of these guys would say “happy to contribute to the greater good” if this was about raising their taxes 0.01% to pay for a universal free school lunch program, they just say it about the thing that doesn’t help anyone and is being done for no reason

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Yaqoob. Before the war Yaqoob was an assistant cook at Roots Hotel on the beach in Gaza. He has three kids, Omar, 8, Yasmine, 6 and Youseff, 3. He’s lost his job and home and is really struggling to feed his family if you can help.
