Public Safety is denying access into Columbia and Barnard campuses.
I am a low income student that relies on my dining plan to eat and I no longer have access to any dining services, along with many of my peers.
Columbia is starving its students, has checkpoints to check bags and deny supplies, and has utilized police to brutalize its own students.
Seems a bit on the nose for a university that is funding the genocide in Palestine.
Shame on you Minouche Shafik. You’re a fucking monster.
Food Not Bombs Houston just posted a video receiving their 80th ticket for feeding unhoused people in a public place.
When both feeding unhoused people and being unhoused is a crime - society has thoroughly thoroughly failed.
Huge respect to those doing it anyways.
ACAB.
I'm going to breakdown parts of this Atlantic article - how dangerous this and the ideas presented in it are.
This piece isn't concerned with truths of colonization & Israel, but with dismissing Palestinian claims of history & crimes by Israel.
It's Nakba denialism.

History books are gonna have a FIELD DAY with the fact that the guy who spent the entire 2016 election accusing his opponent of mishandling classified information (she didn’t) became the first former president to be indicted for exactly that.
My son is 15
I never bought him a pride onesie when he was a baby.
I never read him a book that had two moms as part of the storyline.
When he was little stores and businesses didn’t have LGBTQ+ displays and we didn’t celebrate pride month.
He was raised Catholic, and went to church.
Guess what? He is gay.
The rainbow won’t make your kids gay. They are born that way. A display in a store won’t make your kid trans, they are born that way.
If you don’t love and accept them for who they are, YOU are a shitty parent.
They haven’t failed, you have.
