Jewish students at Columbia have chained themselves to a gate (already locked) to protest ICE detentions of student protestors. They accuse members of our board of trustees of providing information about students to ICE and are demanding accountability.

Robin DG Kelley on the poetry of aja monet (1:05:33)
"This is what makes the poems so powerful and dangerous. Like violets pushing through concrete to kiss the sun, or unarmed people, arms locked, chanting and singing, forcing armies to retreat."

Such an important and thoughtful piece, by @arthurasseraf.bsky.social in @jewishcurrents.bsky.social
"How can we prevent our own history of departure from being twisted to support the ongoing colonization of Palestine?"

"In other words, a 12-year-old had the forethought to drag her younger sister immediately after witnessing three loved ones killed because she knew that Israel often deployed their infamous double tap strikes whereby they bomb, wait a bit, and then bomb again."
Lucid and bleak writing; much needed.
Beautiful piece by @mollycrabapple.bsky.social

I feel like it almost has to be a fantasy of a certain class of people who are much less likely to have known people who went to prison that there's a plausible solution here. On paper it doesn't work. In theory it doesn't work. In practice it doesn't work.
