I'm hearing disturbing reports that students face suspension if they don’t end their peaceful protests in #Columbiauniversity in the USA. This is a clear violation of their right to peaceful assembly

Via Pooja Bhatia: 'few are aware of the 3rd catastrophe that struck Haiti in 2010. This was the presidential election... The winner was Michel Martelly, an aging singer with no political experience. The losers were anyone who cared about Haitian democracy.' nybooks.com/online/2024/04…

It brings me great sadness to share on the morning after the White House Correspondents Dinner that two more Palestinian journalists were killed yesterday, bringing the total to 143. Please say his name: Ibrahim Al-Gharbawi, killed in Khan Younis.

The office of the oldest active newspaper in Haiti is vandalized by the gangs.

My thoughts are with my many friends who called this place “home”

Rete djanm!

I am genuinely curious about how Biden’s folks think there’s a path forward in November when the cops he helped fund are out here brutalizing an important part of his base for … saying “stop killing kids”

I dunno, seems like a losing strategy but I guess I’m not a DNC genius

A new poll finds that 51% of America now supports mass deportation to address our current policy crisis: axios.com/2024/04/25/tru…

Past mass deportations have directly harmed US workers by eliminating jobs for them, as I write here at Peterson Institute —> piie.com/blogs/realtime…

Can you imagine the strength of Evan’s spirit?! He has been wrongfully jailed in a 6’x6’ cell in a Russian prison for more than a year. And here he is in a cage in a courtroom. He needs to come home NOW. We demand his release. #istandwithevan #FreeEvan

The mass grave toll at Nasser Hospital is now 310 -- some with hands & feet tied up, showing signs of field execution.

#Israel left the hospital 2 weeks ago & a further 400 people who'd been there are still missing.

It’s almost midnight and turnout of students at Columbia University has filled the entire plaza.

Students being divided into groups to deter NYPD movement into encampment.

'The UN human rights chief says he is horrified by the reports of mass graves in Gaza. At least 310 bodies have been discovered on the grounds of Nasser hospital. Witnesses say some of the victims were killed during the Israeli siege of the hospital'

proud, inspired. thank you to all the authors who withdrew their work, to the PEN staff who supported our action, to the writers who withdrew from the WVF and charted a path forward, to Jean Stein for saying what PEN America refuses to––Gaza will be free lithub.com/the-pen-americ…

I have been conducting research about the 1968 Columbia protests for such a long time, but I honestly do not know what to say right now. Except, perhaps, that student movements have been one of the most progressive, courageous political avantgardes of the past century

Student protesters, May 22, 1989, Tiananmen Square. Sometimes, when I close my eyes, I still see this photo and feel their hope.

A few years ago it was very common for older liberals to complain that young people don't understand or appreciate free speech.
