“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“

I’m tired of genocidal fascist billionaires

AIPAC has already gone underground in some races, understanding their name is a penalty.

The real issue is Israel. It’s the support for a state whose entire raison d’etre is ethnoracial and religious supremacy. That exists through apartheid & genocide.

And to that too people are finally waking up.

Oh my god Donald Trump has contradicted something he said in the past, I can’t wait for the hypocrisy to take him down at last

When Harvard Cuts Costs, It Cuts Critics | Opinion | The Harvard Crimson At a university, financial decisions are also academic and pedagogical ones, so faculty deserve a legitimate say — not just ceremonial consultation.

“when a dean is pushed out after contesting top-down decisionmaking, the message to faculty is clear: Dissent is unwelcome. The result will only be the prioritization of administrators’ interests at the expense of professors, researchers, and students”

BREAKING — NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani says Donald Trump just informed him that Ellie Aghayeva will be “released imminently.”

Mamdani says he expressed his concerns about the Columbia student detained by ICE during his meeting with Trump earlier.

How Jeffrey Epstein sought to infiltrate the justice system New Epstein files emails show how Epstein tried to cultivate relationships with prosecutors and others involved in his case

bsky.app/profile/ms.n... even if Columbia had no prior knowledge of this, they own creating the situation where Ms. Aghayeva’s friends feel they need to clarify she wasn’t involved in campus protests, meaning DHS must have had some other reason for abducting her

“She is an international student w/a visa…She appeared to have been taken from her Columbia-owned apartment on West 121st Street…Ms. Aghayeva posted a one-second video on her popular Instagram account showing her in the back of a vehicle with the caption: ‘Dhs illegally arrested me. Please help.’”

These are “low enrollment” majors but the classes are regularly at capacity. They changed the funding structure a few years ago here, switching the allocation from course enrollments to majors then blamed these departments for a structural, top-down change. This is entirely a political choice.

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.

If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

it would be a really sick burn if someone were to wear a gown that said "tax the rich" on it five years ago

and that, my fellow academics, is one reason not to hire war criminals: so they can't show up years post (their) war arguing in favor of the scaffolding behind their own atrocities with the imprimatur and status of your university

So here’s the piece I wrote about how Epstein didn’t corrupt the people he reaches out to, he found the already corrupted.
