Can we finally change the narrative?!? Columbia is a willing participant in the dismantling of higher education on their campus and across the US. Columbia never intended to fight back. They have shown us they will always pick their button line over their faculty, students, and staff.
Instagram post of a tweet reporting Columbia changing its policies to appease Trump.

We shouldn’t look to university administration for academic freedom, free speech, or fight for science when they’ve proven they aren’t willing to.

During the height of student protests, encampments, and sit-ins I remember this photo. As US universities remain silent while 🍊 strips their research funding. Universities said nothing then and have remained silent 🤫 about the destruction of higher education ever since.
is_real soldiers set fire to Aqsa University and took photos of themselves in front of the flames.

I believe I’m going to die doing the things I was born to do. I believe I’m going to die high off the people. I believe I’m going to die a revolutionary in the international revolutionary proletarian struggle.

Sharing
A bright pink instructional graphic titled “How to sleigh alt text.” It includes colourful headings labelled Identify Who (in pink), Expression (blue), Description (green), Colour (red), and Interesting Features (grey). On the right side, a sample alt text description in various colours reads: “Santa Claus looking happy as he waves at the camera. He wears a traditional red suit and hat and has a long white beard and glasses. There are colourful lights twinkly behind him.” Below the text, a photo of Santa Claus is shown, waving with a big smile against a background of twinkling, colourful holiday lights.
