Unbelievable cowardice from NYU. Like rank, pathetic, reputation-destroying cowardice. How someone could put their name on a statement like this is beyond me. Protect Logan Rozos at all costs. www.nyu.edu/about/news-p...

This week, my Somerville constituent Rümeysa Öztürk was abducted in broad daylight by DHS officials and sent to Louisiana to be locked in a detention center. She has not been charged with any crime.

NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID.

This is what actual campus censorship looks like.

Israel has killed 500 Gazans since Wednesday. If you're doing business as usual, you're part of the problem.

It's not too late to walk out of the #MAA2025, disrupt business as usual, demand divestment, join us for OAMS, organize for Palestine.

@medievalacademy.bsky.social DIVEST NOW

Hey @medievalacademy.bsky.social,

We heard you had some visitors and you called the cops on them.

Your $ supports violence overseas, your policies support violence here. We expected nothing else, but we still hope you'll DIVEST NOW

Hey, hey, MAA, how many Gazans did you kill today?

An autonomous group disrupted the Medieval Academy of America's conference at Harvard University today, dropping multiple banners and redecorating conference signage.

Trump’s Pentagon is erasing Navajo Code Talkers—Indigenous warriors who helped win WWII—from military websites. This isn’t about “efficiency.” It’s about whitewashing history and erasing those who don’t fit his MAGA narrative.

This isn't anti-DEI - it's retelling history as a story with only white men in it. The tale of the Navajo Code Talkers is essential to understanding the Allies' victory in WWII. Removing it because the people involved were non-white is segregationism.
