I'm Jewish and have been stopping by daily. You have nothing to fear, except the difficulty of confronting your own racism and islamophobia. Unless you're afraid of sharing conversation and snacks, and a welcoming seder open to all?

threat of national guard being called on the encampment by columbia. this administration is so deeply evil. they remember kent state and do tbis knowingly.

If you find anti-genocide protestors so scary, and they resemble 'pro-terrorism' to you, maybe you're the one people should be scared to go near?

Who is “we”? I’m thrilled to be here with many Jews at MIT, and can’t wait to celebrate Passover here tomorrow!

The recent sit-ins in higher ed spaces are inspiring and creating a second wave of protest against the genocide in Gaza. They also follow a pattern of student solidarity waves, which Ellen Berrey and I have been watching for years. It’s 2015 and we’re at a different Columbia...

We must reject these tactics to silence anti-war activists demanding divestment from genocide.

You mean the actual Nazis waving actual Nazi flags chanting actual Nazi slogans that killed one person and injured 35 by ramming a car into a crowd? Those Nazis?

charlottesville was actually a neo nazi rally and columbia is a bunch of students asking their school to stop funding the bombing of children hope this helps

As someone who was there—who leapt out of the way of Fields’ car and saw Heather Heyer die—I still cannot quite believe that people are proudly posting shit like this.

Universities really showing their whole asses as 'banks that sometimes teach classes' right now.

Keep it up.

On Wednesday, I am scheduled to give the 2024 Mamie Phipps Clark and Kenneth B. Clark Distinguished Lecture at Columbia University. In light of the university’s current repression and criminalization of students, as well as the present academic boycott of the institution, I have

'While many others decided to leave the city, my family and I stayed put. We were hoping that the war would end soon, believing that maybe the international community would intervene to stop this madness, but the suffering of the Sudanese people was seemingly ignored.'
