Madonna’s free show at Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach broke the record for biggest standalone concert for any artist in history, male or female, with 1.6 million people.

Why on earth would a progressive student activist trust, after a decade of sensationalism and condescension, that they would be represented accurately by a journalist from a major publication? The encampments are being compared to Nazi Germany on national television as we speak.

Will RT every time

Damn they ain’t playing when they say “come to Brazil” these mf will show UP

Hey so what does Senator “Hamas could end the war tomorrow” Fetterman think about this lmao

To the professional journos I've engaged with the past few days: I'm a journalist, not a source.

I have lots of DMs from journos asking what I saw at CCNY yesterday but few replies from editors who want to pay for my work.

I have NEVER EVER EVER seen police do this at those Proud Boys protests.

My husband, Prof. Steve Tamari, is out of the hospital. He will need surgery on his hand, and he is in pain from nine broken ribs. We are asking for time to rest and heal. We will not be taking media interviews at this time. Here is Steve's statement and ways you can support.

but nah firing explosives into a peaceful encampment and swinging 2x4s at college students is totally chill

student-led activism has a rich history in the US, which as more often than not included being maligned by many in the public sphere, if not faced with direct hostility or violence — and more often than not, student-led organizing has emerged on the right side of history.

This is 'safety' and 'free speech' at Dartmouth 🌲: former director of Jewish studies and history professor Annelise Orleck thrown to the ground by cops while engaged in nonviolent protest. Her 'crime'--emphatic speech. Shame.

Need to be very clear about what happened here: NYPD went on Morning Joe and lied to Americans about Columbia University students in order to make it appear those students were working with organized, transnational terrorist organizations

Huge NYPD presence around Fordham. I have no idea what the University will do but I hope they remember students protesting peacefully aren’t criminals but young people in their care living the values of inquiry, expression & care for the whole person the University’s taught them

One difference between this building at Columbia and the US Capitol is that the Capitol happens to be the seat of Congress, the national legislature of the United States, which was, at the time, certifying the results of an election those who stormed the Capitol wanted to void.

Again… why hasn’t this trend been covered in western media
