Ben, I met you once at Bocca di Bacco and was so shocked to meet you, I forgot to say Iβve been in one of your movies accidentally, and saw dress rehearsal of a play long ago. I told you Iβm a fan.
Tonightβs finale though? Absolute masterpiece. I am applauding all of you. ππΌ ππΌ
βFederal officials told the university it must immediately place its Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies Department under βacademic receivership for a minimum of five years.β
This is incredibly alarming. A complete overreach of university autonomy. Not to mention blatantly racist.
Thank you ππΌ
Iβm so sorry for your loss, my condolences π
I also lost my mother, in 2024.
They're trying to deport my colleague from the med school and holding her without counsel. She was coming back from a visit to her family. If there are ways to help I'll let you know. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/l...
how long until it spreads beyond Columbia?
This is why we must fight for everyone. Whether theyβve been incarcerated or have had contact with the criminal legal system or are merely undocumented. When you accept that some people are deserving of detention and deportation the scope of who is eligible is always under threat of expanding.
Does anyone else wonder about No Other Land in the sense that, like, why do we need an Israeli narrator to make it acceptable to talk about Palestinian pain, land theft, and settler colonialism?

itβs almost like they are 2 separate countries with one big city being like a little island in the neighboring countryβ¦.but no thatβs unheard of
the fort knox situation has a glut of GOLDFINGER scenes running through my mind, like it just figures we live in a world where that movie plot has become reality π
Another way to put this:
Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

Wait so Israel held a bunch of Palestinians in concentration camps without charge just for being Palestinian, and then they not only starved, tortured and conducted experiments on them, but actually made them wear a Star of David? That's... pretty wild.
Yes even freaking *Germany* was suddenly saying βGaza is for the Palestiniansβ !! interesting π€

Lebanon, Gaza, and Riad resist: is the Arab world changing before our eyes?

A fascinating series of recent have demonstrated that the Arab world is capable of defying US and Israeli ambitions. What is this about? And why is this happening? Impressions from a politically very meaningful week
Goran World - yesterday As someone who grew up under an authoritarian regime, I can offer one crucial piece of advice: time is everything. If you donβt stand up nowβif you donβt protest, resist, disrupt, and refuse to complyβyou may lose your country forever. Authoritarianism thrives on silence, hesitation, and fear. The longer people wait, the more entrenched the regime becomes, making resistance exponentially harder. Every moment of inaction is a moment the regime uses to tighten its grip. History has shown that those who act early have the best chance of reclaiming their freedom. The time to fight back is now.

precisely what iβm mulling and having heart palpitations over at this moment
Hold them accountable. None of Muskβs staffers will find work again in America. Thank you, WSJ!
Elon Muskβs companiesβTesla and SpaceXβhave received billions in government contracts and subsidies. Yet, this issue is largely ignored. Isnβt it time we started holding corporations accountable for the massive burden they place on taxpayers?
