The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.
The people of Gaza are the last heroes. No water. No food. No roof. No painkillers. No family left whole. No community untouched. Still, they care for each other. Israel—backed by a world doing far too little—is not just killing people. It’s killing what’s left of Humanity.
We were taught about Anne Frank so it would never happen again, and every day I open this app and see the last words of countless new Anne Franks in real time...
It looks like Barnard College tried to hold up the graduation of a student journalist because they thought they could extract from her information about a student protest she wasn't even at.
Today, Columbia “peace officers” and NYPD kettled and brutalized nearly 100 people of conscience who reclaimed Butler Library as the Basil-al-Araj Liberated Zone. There have been multiple reports of serious injuries.
NEW—Columbia Acting President Claire Shipman announces overhaul of University Senate (made up of students & faculty) Comes after Senate published 300-page report exposing “web of highly charged political agendas,” “distortions,” and external influences that shaped campus events
NEW — Emails show Mohsen Mahdawi pleading for months to Columbia for help. He asked about an FBI visit to his home & a mysterious break-in. He also asked Columbia to publicly clarify a lie the Trump admin then cited to justify detaining Mohsen. No response.zeteo.com/p/emails-show-…
Higher standards are expected, @Columbia. Please do better, Acting President Claire Shipman and @jelani9. Taking away someone's livelihood is an ACT OF VIOLENCE. My heart goes out to you, Mr. Chan. I've been there. I understand. Thank you for your bravery.
Yesterday, I was fired by @Columbia. Here’s my statement, part 1:
Which student groups is Shipman talking to? To my knowledge she has never met with students representatives of the Senate.
A message from Acting President Claire Shipman to the Columbia community about building on our commitment to listen and learn: president.columbia.edu/news/building-…
The call was coming from inside the house ...
NEW—Columbia has caved on Trump's demands, per WSJ, will: –ban masks –give campus police new powers to arrest students –appoint a senior vice provost with broad authority to oversee the Department of Middle East, South Asian and African Studies & the Center for Palestine Studies
The Department of Government Efficiency, run by President Donald Trump’s billionaire adviser and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, has gained access to sensitive Treasury data including Social Security and Medicare customer payment systems, according to two people familiar with the situation.…

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing. The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos. 1/ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
This is the only explanation that makes sense to me for why support for orange cheeto has climbed across the country. Young males and the undereducated are particularly susceptible and easy to influence with this kind of persistent messaging.
It should be illegal to call a race for any candidate until all votes are counted. Why do we do this?
Happy end of Daylight Saving Time. For health, safety, and economics let’s keep Permanent Standard Time. @SRBR_Outreach @SaveStandard @ResearchSleep
Can you imagine going to a hospital in an emergency where doctors know what is wrong but delay care until it gets worse? That's what happened to Nevaeh Crain in Texas—& it cost her her life. This is the devastating & heartbreaking reality of Republican abortion bans.
Nevaeh Crain’s mother can’t get over the fact that her daughter’s emergency wasn’t treated like an emergency. “She was bleeding. Why didn’t they do anything to help it along instead of wait for another ultrasound to confirm the baby is dead?” propublica.org/article/nevaeh…
This latest story from @propublica about Nevaeh Crain is gutting. She was a teenager who should be alive today, and isn’t, because of Texas’ abortion bans and refusal to provide lifesaving care even in a dire emergency. propublica.org/article/nevaeh…
