So 22 students were arrested, suspended, and banned from Cornell University in 2024 for protesting genocide, yet in the same year a girl was raped by seven other students who received zero consequences and were allowed to continue attending university.

Protesting and utilizing a protected right under the First Amendment results in being banned from campus, but raping a student for multiple hours is perfectly fine?

@Cornell you claim to encourage freedom of speech on your campus and say you take sexual violence seriously, guess both of those things are false.

Last night I planted an olive tree at Gracie Mansion with Palestinian families from Gaza. 

May peace be our future.

I will soon be leaving the bridge. I want to give heartfelt thanks for all the outpouring of support. My purpose here has been to fulfill my duty to the truth- to call on the people of this country to recognize and exercise the revolutionary power within us- the power of collective nonviolent action and non-cooperation with evil- by which we can bring an end to these hateful wars and the murders committed in our names. It is only with the passive compliance of millions- our obedience- our willingness to continue to do what's expected of us: to go to work, to school, to pay our rents, our mortgages and our taxes, that the Trump regime can remain in power and these wars continue.

One man on a bridge is relatively powerless, but the collective withdrawal of our obedience and support is capable of bringing a swift end to the regime and its wars. This nonviolent collective action is our greatest power and it is the exercise of this power that those who rule fear more than any weapon. For the sake of the world, its children, and our future let us build this power with each other, together.

End the war

Hi my name is Guido Reichstadter & I'm currently occupying the top of the Frederick Douglass memorial bridge in Washington DC.

I'm calling on the people of the United States to bring an immediate end to the Trump regime's illegal war on Iran and the removal of the regime power through mass nonviolent direct action and non-cooperation.

I also want to urgently warn the people of the US and the world of the imminent danger we are in of crossing a point of no return towards the development of artificial intelligence which poses the risk of catastrophic harm to humanity, including human extinction. I call on the governments of the world to take immediate action to end this danger by permanently banning the development of artificial general intelligence and machine super intelligence. I also call on the people of the world to exert all possible influence through nonviolent action to compel their governments to end this danger with all possible speed.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.

Chicago unveils new “Little Palestine” sign at Bridgeview.

The area is home to one of the largest Palestinian populations in the U.S.

@CharmednMO @simsbooo You should be able to reload your cc by enabling cc and restarting your game (don’t save atp, just exit!). The load screen will still show them bald but once you open it, your cc should all reappear. Then save after that and you won’t have to redress them.

Someone saved all of the Epstein emails from the releases and set up a Gmail clone site that you can scroll as if you were in Jeffery's Gmail.
You can search by contacts, photos and even flight history.

Maybe this is related: a study also just came out about our own altruism and Batman. Apparently, we all behave better when Batman is around!

It was a sentence in a resolution that they passed after the attack in Boulder. It was a “thanks” to all law enforcement and they included ICE bc the attacker’s visa had expired.
