Thanks for this (I guess). We need her but where is she now? En route to El Salvador?

www.haaretz.com/us-news/2025... This is the kicker: "Department leaders say they are also investigating whether Columbia hid students sought by the U.S. over their roles in the demonstrations." As if! I tell my students that if you give the bully your lunch money, he'll ask for more tomorrow.

What's happening with the other signitories? Has she alone been singled out? Are the unnamed 35 being threatened? Have they come forward. How complicit is Tufts? The image of her arrest should be on every front page.

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/m... Can one imagine a world in which No Other Land would be shown to a joint session of Congress, Columbia trustees, or even "Christian Zionist" Mike Huckabee? (Funfact: Woodrow Wilson loved The Birth of a Nation so much he showed it twice in the White House.)

www.haaretz.com/opinion/edit... No Other Land per Haaretz "is shocking and ought to disturb people's sleep. But the injustice it shows has only worsened since it was finished." The sequel continues with a bounty on Hamdan Ballal. Not the settlers but the Palestinians are the real Jews.

Consider that back when Cuba was an American protectorate, the second (but really first) most powerful entity on the island was the American ambassador.

The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth [is] that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world - and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end - is being destroyed. Hannah Arendt, Origins of Totalitarianism

Will @theacademyusa.bsky.social use its worldwide prominence to speak up for an Oscar-winning director? Hamdan Ballal was attacked and seriously injured—and the IDF arrested HIM while he was in the ambulance. No charges, no sign of him since. Where are you, AMPAS? chng.it/dzMJYfSbqM

Let us not forget Cuomo's grotesque attempt to lure Amazon to Queens (promising among other things to rename himself "Amazon" Cuomo). Thwarting this was one of AOC's first victories.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i... Mann & Yona write that "The new definition of antisemitism imposes a straitjacket of Zionist identity on American Jews" Anti-Zionism is not necessarily antisemitism. What is antisemitic is the assumption that all Jews are necessarily Zionist.
