I’m as guilty as anyone of thinking of my Columbia University undergraduates as “kids.” But here is what I’ve seen them do in the last two weeks: (1/10)

The campus had been closed to people without Columbia IDs, and then closed to everyone except students living on campus.

The distress call 'mayday!' has nothing to do with May. It's from French [venez] m'aider '[come] help me!' Sounds made up but it's true!

Activists block the five main gates of BAE Systems Salmesbury Aerodrome Arms Factory near the city of Blackburn, England, which produces the rear fuselage of F-35 fighter jets, used heavily in Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

To reporters writing this up: this was a unilateral, surprise attack by Zionists. Encampment residents were eating lentils and sitting around. Suddenly reports of men in plastic white masks at the gates. Then poles thrown. Shouts of GET DOWN... skunk spray...
