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.”

Absolutely terrifying treatment
3 dead so far at Krome ICE detention center in Florida. Max capacity was 500, they have over 4,000 and not enough water and food. Reports say they get 1 cup of water per day.
These are already death camps.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but fascism often begins with the slow erosion of civil liberties and the rise of authoritarianism under the guise of ‘security measures’.

If you're feeling hopeless and miserable, I cannot possibly overstate how much it helps to just pick one thing you can do that helps people, and do it.
You only need to do one person's worth of work. That's all any of us can do.
You'll be doing what you can, and there is so much relief in that.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires.
There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom.
Dems need to learn this.

How can we still be debating whether or not this is a genocide, whether or not we should care, whether or not this is our “problem”?
My heart bleeds with our kin in Gaza. May they see true peace soon, may they know justice, may they live their lives with dignity. Inshallah may it come soon 🙏🏻

Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power.
Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.
