ONE HUNDRED PERCENT

“Biden’s slander of pro-Palestinian activists helped splinter the Democratic coalition during the 2024 election, giving Trump a potent wedge issue.”

In a first for the Ivy League school, Columbia's new officers have the same powers of warrantless search and arrest as any other police officer under New York law. The state law permits the officers to use "physical force and deadly physical force in making an arrest or preventing an escape."
Columbia University's new campus patrol officers appointed by New York Police Department
The 36 new special patrol officers announced last month by Columbia University were appointed by the New York Police Department and will be subject to the orders of the police commissioner, an arrangement confirmed by a Columbia spokesperson this week.

They will never stop shaking down Columbia. Columbia should revoke all the concessions it made and take them to court.
In the NYT right now, from a Justice Dept lawyer: “I will tell you right now that Columbia has not in my opinion — and the opinion of the Department of Justice — has not cleaned up their act,” Mr. Terrell said. “They’re not even close, not even close to having those funds unfrozen.”
"acceding to the ... demands is not going to restore the funding." From @danifriedrich.bsky.social in @chronicle.com

Unfortunately the senate was /literally/ created so that there would be a body that didn’t have to respond to the will of its constituents. It’s an unsalvageable system
NOW: Almost 100 people are outside the home of @schumer.senate.gov calling on him to vote NO on cloture and NO on the disastrous Trump-Musk budget

for context, the last time Columbia students were so mad at the school they seized a building, no one was expelled, and the school was so sorry it canceled classes for the rest of the semester and the Grateful Dead came and played in the center of campus en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Co...

Idk what y'all want him to say, he's right. University employees do not have the power to stop the government. He's telling them to pick their battles and not make themselves even more vulnerable than they already are. It's solid advice. Sometimes responsible mentorship means encouraging caution.
Great. Columbia J-school students from abroad are being told to obey in advance by their dean. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/n...

Rep Zephyr’s speech flips 13 GOPs, trans bills die in Montana

Trans people have been scapegoated so effectively (among older people) that we're flooded with models of how to hate.

But when people hear the love behind why we stand up for each other, we win.

Bravo, @zoandbehold.bsky.social!

so annoying that i have to be happy and pleasantly surprised those dorks did the bare minimum, but hey they did
The final vote: 51-45, with 4 people absent.

CLOTURE FAILS, A CONGRESSIONAL SPORTS BAN WILL NOT HAPPEN.

Democrats hold firm, not a single dem voted for cloture.

MAJOR victory for everyone who called in today and this week in support of trans people.
