This.

Yay!

Oh Nandini, of course I remember you! We must get together! I’m so happy to hear from you and look forward to hearing what you’re doing now.

We are live streaming a genocide and @columbiauniversity.bsky.social decides to suspend students for protesting it. I am ashamed to be an alumna of this university. Ya 3aib ashum, Columbia, ya 3aib ashum.

I recently made a trip to the New England Peace Pagoda in Massachusetts. What a fascinating space of religious pluralism that combines indigenous nations sacred objects with Buddhism and extreme non-violence and anti-nuclear activism.

Ann Coulter commenting that "We (meaning the U.S., presumably) did not kill enough Indians."

I rarely comment on these things, but these are unusual times. 249 years ago the Declaration called Natives "Merciless Indian Savages.," and the Constitution excluded us from protection while enabling our dispossession. We remember this history not to cause harm, but to grasp the consequences./1

😂

I love the naga iconography. Is it associated with macchindranath?

EXCLUSIVE: watch the trailer for "Gaza: Doctors Under Attack", the film the BBC didn't want to air. The trailer features, among others, Dr Adnan al Bursh, later killed by Israel.

Zeteo is proud to be airing this documentary to paid subscribers across the world on 2 July at: gazadoctors.film

Proud to be a part of this. It was great canvassing for Mamdani and meeting and talking with my neighbors. Looking forward to continuing to support Zohran!

NEW from Columbia Board of Trustees as the school meets Trump’s demands: “We engaged with the agencies that serve as our regulators on issues that matter both to them and to us.”

It was never (just) about illegal immigration for MAGA...

Some platitudinous junk that some interim university president's staff tossed together and sent some alumni that doesn't mention the university's existential crisis or its consistent resolve to throw students, faculty, and reason under the bus in vain attempts to placate an authoritarian federal government

Columbia administration stop sending platitudinous emails that send your alumni into a blind rage challenge

Columbia Admissions Guidance for Undocumented Immigrants Vanishes From Site Columbia’s admissions guidance for undocumented immigrants went dark as the school caved to the Trump administration’s attacks.

The page went dark as Columbia caved to the Trump administration’s anti-Palestinian and anti-immigrant attacks.

A flyer which reads 17 Monday, March 10 4PM Jacob K. Javits Federal Building 26 Federal Plaza, NYC EMERGENCY MOBILIZATION! RELEASE MAHMOUD KHALL HANDS OFF OUR STUDENTS ICE OFF OUR CAMPUSES MON. MAR 10 • 4PM

Happening in NYC today! See you there.

Let's be really really clear. The Trump admin chose a Palestinian activist as the target of its first lawless political detention precisely BECAUSE they believe that will split the opposition.

If you shrug at the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil, or worse, cheer it on, you're following Trump's script.

UPDATE: Mahmoud Khalil is being held by ICE in the Jena/LaSalle Detention Facility in Louisiana, per ICE detainee tracker

Khalil was detained Saturday night from his New York apartment building

As an alumna of #Columbia and former faculty, I categorically stand with #MahmoudKhalil and our other students right to protest the ongoing genocide. I urge my colleagues to do the same. We must come together and defend our rights or we walk silently and cowardly into fascism.

Entire USAID agency worldwide was deleted by a consulting government employee with no authority to do so. It’s a constitutional crisis that puts US national security at risk and normies won’t get this until legacy media says this clearly and loudly.

The United States Senate has confirmed the nomination of Russell Vought to serve, once again, as Director of the Office of Management and Budget.

The vote was 53-47.

Vought was an architect of Project 2025.

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

What a great man and great loss.

front page of NYT today

A private citizen, with the backing of the President, illegally shut down a major government agency over the weekend and it is not on the front page of this morning's New York Times

@peterbakernyt.bsky.social

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, where are you at my dude? I know you ain’t at the office. I been calling.

This.

I work for a Canadian university, and I have to use two-factor authentication to get into everything, the email, university resources, grade portals, my course websites. Meanwhile the entire US federal government's systems seem to be handed over to the neo-Nazi robber baron of our age

How is this legal? How? Why is every top Democrat not outside the Treasury right now, holding a press conference at least? Or filing a lawsuit?? I am losing my mind.

Arguably the biggest national security breach in U.S. history. Private employees downloading personnel data on every federal employee and tax and social security data on every American onto private unsecured servers. Needless to say, completely illegal and subject to major prison sentences.

It's really about claiming the right to assert raw power at every single level: economically, militarily and inside the family. It's mass social engineering.

This brings us to the concept of chosenness, which is at the dead centre of this admin -from the tech oligarchs to the white nationalists.
