Friends, please, please amplify. The NYPD are now raiding City College. Reports are hundreds of cops. Please, I know that what happened at Columbia tonight is sickening--but this is Part II. And our @cuny students are largely working class students of color.

Friends, please amplify and pay attention to the police raid and violence happening right now at CCNY alongside Columbia. Shame on Félix V. Matos Rodríguez for sanctioning the NYPD to hurt our @cuny students.

my partner MJ Kaufman mentored Ahmed (28) through We Are Not Numbers - now we're fundraising to help evacuate his immediate family from Gaza, including his two nieces, Sumaya, who is 10 months old, and Huda, who is 5. Please donate if you're able.

Suddenly, you have hedge fund managers in the game promising big returns. The more money raised, the more returns. And this meant schools needed more money so they shifted to trying to fund fields that would produce wealthy graduates and donors (aka not humanities). /3

'When students begin to defy established authority it often appears to besieged administrators that 'someone must be behind this,' the implication being that young people are incapable of thinking or acting on their own.' - Howard Zinn, reflecting on Spelman students rebelling

“They say we’re disturbing the peace, but there is no peace. What really bothers them is that we’re disturbing the war.” — Howard Zinn

Students, keep speaking out against the unfolding genocide in Gaza and disturbing the war!
