American institutions would rather cancel graduations, violently arrest students & teachers, and deploy snipers on the roofs of college campuses than let you criticize a government that’s killed 34,000 people.

I am truly disgusted.

Reports have emerged today from Gaza about the discovery of a mass grave at Nasser Hospital, where civilians—including doctors, nurses, women, men, and children—were mercilessly killed in cold blood. On the same day, the American ruling class chose to…

Tonight at Columbia Jewish students led a full Shabbat service at the Gaza solidarity encampment. Minutes later Muslim students had their evening prayer service. All surrounded by love.

Please do let the world know: there are ways to live that aren’t being a paranoid bigot.

Just a day after the House voted to send $14B in unconditional military funding to Netanyahu's campaign of death and destruction, he bombed the safe zone of Rafah AGAIN, killing 22 Palestinians, of which 18 were CHILDREN! History books will write about today and the past 7…

Statement from Columbia University Apartheid Divest just released on community values.

“We are frustrated by media distractions focusing on inflammatory individuals who do not represent us. At universities across the nation, our movement is united in valuing every human life.”

Our team spent long hours reporting on and around Columbia’s campus on Thursday & Friday. I want to clear some stuff up. I didn’t see a single instance of violence or aggression on the lawn or at the student encampment. The student-led protest was peaceful and often very quiet…

What a beautiful way for these brave students to bring in Shabbat early this morn. SHAME on Columbia University President Shafik for calling the NYPD's notoriously violent SRG unit on her own students. SHAME on the university for kettling peaceful protesters on the sidewalk outside 1/

For months, it’s been clear that when it comes to addressing the housing crisis in this budget, there were three parties at the table:

1) the Assembly
2) the Senate
3) and the Real Estate Board of New York.

A long 🧵 on the final budget bill.

In many ways history repeats itself. Columbia University seems to always be on the wrong side of history. As an alumnus, I am deeply ashamed and demand CU stop arresting, silencing, marginalizing students peacefully protesting against genocide. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Today’s hearing centers the experiences of Black immigrants in NYC and has turned out over 1000 people

We must uproot the anti-Blackness that plagues our systems of care - this work requires dedication, creativity, and a city willing to fund our short, mid, and long term needs

Everyone who followed this case saw the NYPD’s delays, deception and cowardly coverups. Long after Mayor Eric Adams is gone, taxpayers will likely pay millions to the heartbroken family he refused to meet with.
