Maybe, just maybe, the mainstream media can focus a little less on colleges for a moment. Maybe they can take their cameras to Gaza and show us the emaciated children who are dying of malnutrition due to Netanyahu’s policies. Maybe they can show us the suffering going on there.

Never forget that Rep. Dan Goldman and his MAGA buddies helped bring about last night’s obscene and anti-democratic police raids and attacks on student protestors.

Universities, like Columbia, must ask themselves, “under what conditions would they permit the police to kill one of its students or one of its faculty members.

Is Columbia willing to have police kill one of its students today? That is the gamble they’re taking.

One of the most frustrating nights for press access i’ve experienced as a reporter. At Columbia & CCNY, police barricaded public streets for blocks, obstructing journalists from seeing what was happening even from a distance. A policy of exclusion cheered on by Eric Adams’ staff

this is on the watch of a democratic mayor, governor, and president. And they expect to convince voters that we need to reelect them in order to stave off authoritarianism? ...How?

an an educator & constituent of Daniel Goldman I am disgusted by this action and rhetoric, especially when he's made his career off of 'standing up for democracy.' please explain to my high school students how shutting down nonviolent youth protest is democratic.

Hitting you guys with this one nice and early today

Co-signed. It's a beautiful day in the greatest city in the world. 🌞

We should all take care of da Earth! It is da only planet with cookies on it! 🍪🌎 #EarthDay

Massive faculty walkout at Columbia University opposing the university’s decision to call in NYPD on Palestine solidarity protests:

To clarify why we don't say 100+ students in headline, there are staff, faculty and alum also involved in the demonstration, presumably vast majority are students but I'm still waiting for Columbia University to confirm how many suspensions.

The students are now singing in a huddle facing down the entire might of the NYPD. Oh my heart.

Columbia should not be calling the cops on its own students for engaging in nonviolent protest.

The university has a long history of respecting free speech on campus, and I support the faculty who are pleading with their administration to continue that tradition.

Reporters are not allowed onto Columbia campus to cover the ongoing student occupation, but can confirm from the perimeter, dozens of officers are staging, Chief of Patrol John Chell on site. last i saw Talia Jane was inside, follow hers

77% of Americans want a 4-day workweek.

Even corporate CEOs agree: it's the future.

Workers are 400% more productive than we were in the 1940s. They are also stressed out, anxious, and exhausted.

It's time for a 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay.

Effective climate action isn't just about pushing for change; spending time with the people we love, in the places we love, doing the things we love, fuels our capacity to love and fight for a better future for all.

The amount of money that has been freed up for better projects by canceling a freeway widening is nearly a billion dollars. That's a lot of money!

Robert Moses didn't plan, the city didn't plan, they just built the BQE. If you were in the way, too bad.

Glad to join the launch of the BQE Environmental Justice Coalition - to
transform the BQE & undo decades of environmental racism & health concerns.
