Wow. Watch this from Zohran Mamdani. It looks like the exact "fight" and "conviction" people are hopelessly asking for from the people in charge of the Democratic party:

New—Right after Israeli Education Minister Yoav Kisch & ex-Prime Minister Naftali Bennett visited Columbia, I spoke with Katherine Franke, a professor pushed out after standing up for students. She said "Columbia is doing the bidding" of Israel & Trump. A day later, Mahmoud Khalil was arrested.

By all signs, does it not seem like Columbia turned in Khalil to demonstrate to Trump that they deserve their $400M back? To me, it seems no student would be safe there. They will betray all of us, even falling in line with extrajudicial arrests, to keep their precious federal funds.

🚨 The government is cracking down on speech. The Trump admin is using AI to target student protestors. Schools are escalating violence on students—instead of divesting from violence. Hosting ex-Columbia Prof. Katherine Franke, who was pushed out by Columbia, in a Q&A on it all today. Register here:

Democrats picked Elissa Slotkin to represent the party & respond to Donald Trump's speech. She was the first Democrat ever endorsed by Liz Cheney; voted for the Laken Riley Act, empowering Trump to detain people without due process; and is a top Democratic voter of Trump's cabinet. More:

Checked on a bud in the #WestBank to see if tanks were anywhere near him. Not yet, thankfully. Still have the checkpoints and other military presence interfering day to day. Life for him is going home or to work, avoiding troops. Been a year+ since he's gone for a simple walk in his own village.

Cutting #Medicaid so substantially will gut the entire program, especially in states that are underfunded. It will harm the sickest and most vulnerable people in the country. And it will cause middle income Americans to see higher medical bills. All while the #taxcuts benefit mostly billionaires.

While CDC is being gagged, what can states do for #PublicHealth? How can states choose to share #epidemiology and other #health data? Can states choose to publicly release information they also release to CDC? Can states band together to submit information to the World Health Organization?

Shit take. Trump is calling for it, Biden was supporting an active genocide. Both are bad. If those are our options, then the real choice is clear - American imperialism must be stopped.

The offices of the Rutgers academic union were defaced with pro-Israel slogans just before a vote on divesting from the Gaza genocide. This blunt intimidation reflects the impunity afforded Zionists, and the urgent need to end Zionist hegemony. https://mondoweiss.net/2025/02/statement-from-jewish-r…

Palestine is not a symbol. Not a metaphor. Not a trending topic. It is a land with a people who sing, grieve, love, and fight for a future they are told they do not deserve. And yet, they exist. And yet, they resist. And yet, they will win.

Trump's suggestion to have Palestinians leave their homeland in Gaza is a bad one. They are not Jordanian, they are not Egyptian. Conflating these peoples as the same, is completely ignorant.

Public Health is calling out injustices, so just gonna point out: ICE isn't law enforcement. They're leashed attack dogs, at best. And even then, I wager the dogs are more empathetic and better company. Anyways, here's a map of current ICE raids. padlet.com/bebe050420/c...

Workplace raids have begun—none of these people were rapists or criminals. Even if you’re not a US citizen, you still have due process in this country. 3 workers in Newark were taken into custody by ICE w/out a warrant. One, a veteran, endured the humiliation of having his military docs questioned.
