Mahmoud Khalil: Columbia’s “singular concern has always been the vitality of its financial profile, not the safety of Jewish students. This is why Columbia was all too happy to embrace a superficial progressive agenda while still disregarding Palestine, & this is why it will soon turn on you, too.”

It's not manufacturing jobs you want, it's a stable job with a middle-class wage, retirement, affordable health insurance, and worker protections that you want. Which isn't naturally tied to factory jobs, but it is naturally tied to union organizing.

Donald Trump does not care about you. He wants you to feel powerless and hopeless. So he can keep consolidating power. And enriching himself and his billionaire buddies.

We have to be honest as we assess why so many Americans made this tragic choice. If we refuse to confront the underlying truth — that racism and greed occupy the throne in this country — it is the equivalent of sticking your head in the sand and believing that you’re safe.
