“This isn’t just a story of one trustee. It’s about a fundraising model that puts the College at the mercy of a very, very small group of very wealthy people,” Prof Milanich told The Bulletin. “Our dependence then forces us to quietly look the other way when they do things contrary to our mission.”
Over 70 faculty members sign open letter demanding the College address Francine LeFrak’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein
The letter called on Barnard College to investigate and address trustee and prominent donor Francine LeFrak’s connection to the convicted sex offender.

Anyone else so anxious and depressed instead of taking joy in Bad Bunny's Superb Owl performance, they fear some kind of retribution like Trump somehow canceling halftime shows in favor of military parades? Not that we shouldn't have Bad Bunny or joy!!! There's room for all feelings in Big Fascism

BREAKING: Columbia students and faculty are blocking the road to demand Columbia become sanctuary campus.
That means ending collaboration with ICE's kidnapping of students and workers.

Man. I’d really love to stop seeing appearance-based criticisms of objectively bad people. Fascists, pedophiles, rapists etc can & do look like anyone, of any race age gender or body type. They are not bad because [insert appearance trait] but b/c of the shit they DO.

I'll say this for the NYPD in Zohran K Mamdani's New York City: In the six times I've been arrested doing civil disobedience in this town, I'd never been seat belted on a paddy wagon before the Hilton protest on Tuesday.

I was arrested last night to protest Hilton's complicity with ICE and the Trump Administration in housing ICE agents that abduct and murder people.

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes...Families are torn apart and separated...Everyone is scared...the end is nowhere in sight"

My local bookstore just painted an Anne Frank quote on their front window. I plan to spend some money there this weekend.
