Columbia University’s agreement with the Trump administration is a disaster for academic freedom, freedom of speech, & the independence of American higher education. Never in the history of our nation has an educational institution so thoroughly bent to the will of an autocrat.

Walter Rodney: “I do not believe that it is remotely possible in this country that the enemies of the people can extinguish and put out the humanity which resides in us. PEOPLES POWER, NO DICTATOR!!"
RIP Walter Rodney, assassinated on this day 45 years ago.
Read his final speech, “Sign of the Times,” on “how the ruling class come back time and time again to the notion that they are royalty.” Written for a different context, but chillingly resonant in ours.
