April 30. On this day 1968, it is the 56th anniversary of the occupation of hamilton hall and other buildings. These images are lionized on columbia’s website.
@SaraHirschhorn1
if you were concerned, you’d demand ceasefire, support the UN to do so. global helplessness in face of Israeli/US/UK determined to destroy all forms of life in Gaza this was the legal recourse. it is serious. hamas explicitly referred to icc as part of the case.
@gracefurby
check my quote tweet for maps. i worked on the mall project and the mega block under the original wtc was politically untouchable. they moved the mall to under the new oculus. there’s no retail under the original block— only the waterfall footprints, museum & PATH station

The public still needs a response to the credible problems with the article you do-wrote in
@nytimes
about sexual violence on Oct 7.
Further, your social media likes include misinformation spouted by sources you used in the NYT article. Were they a vetted, credible source?

@Anatschwartz
, who co-authored the debunked “mass rape” article last December has been caught liking posts calling for Gaza to be turned into a “slaughterhouse” and Palestinian prisoners executed. This violates

social media policy. Schwartz must go

@NeriOxman
You mischaracterize her gift-giving as “dutifully,” because even Oxman’s students realized it was wrong to gift a convicted pedophile. They raised their concerns and she explicitly overruled them. It’s clear she KYC’d that the funds were laundering Epstein’s image.
@BillAckman
@NeriOxman
From the Boston Globe 2019 article: Students expressed concern about the gift and Oxman told them to pound sand and to take the discussion off email. Very clear moral lapses in the interest of getting $.

no but it’s not the normative scenario so his point does speak to the credibility of the speaker’s identity. why would an american english speaker say that to an american jewish person?
I worked on the wtc retail masterplan which relocated Westfield mall from under the destroyed twin towers to the new oculus structure. Only the memorial museum/waterfall monument & PATH station are on the original WTC block
Can someone tell me why they built a mall on ground zero at the 9/11 memorial?? like am I being an asshole and is there some sort of deep context or is this just so pointedly American it’s ridiculous
FYI: NYPD official Rebecca Weiner, who cited “outside agitators” as a reason for NYPD raids but offered no transparency is a Columbia adjunct. The unit she leads came under fire in the early 2010s for spying on Muslim New Yorkers. I know because I sued that unit for spying on me.

It just seems that you don’t understand the value of this movement, how critical it is to this generation and why the smartest kids want to be the change makers of today. elite schools want to draw in world leaders, in any field.
@samahonline
apologies, but there are asian americans and asian american groups protesting. i’m a little bit older and more connected to our shared history of occupation/colonialism
@tonydokoupil
pls take a step back & listen to yourself ask the first question. take off your title, your reputation & the entitlement. what a horrible, antagonistic, accusatory thing to say. listen to yourself. who comes across as the extremist in this exchange? the one who defends apartheid
💯 agree with the post & chris pratt is in my hate book for this. Eckbo did the landscaping. These are A listers of mid century architecture, landscape & photography. it is NOT possible to build like this anymore, both framing/fenestration style. the lumber no longer exists

can you create a public directory of ALL the raw milk suppliers and systematically count the ones that refuse to test? can someone fund

this is an exquisite photograph. figural composition reminds of of rembrandt. notice how bodies orient to one another and create visual interest and movement, focus and pause.
@turtlekiosk
no that’s the next trend in the pipeline. grey is the stragglers from 10 years ago. it’s white oak that is the thing now. but whenever it gets watered down it never looks good.
@gracefurby
It’s a little confusing because they broke down the scale of the original site by bisecting it: connecting Greenwich St north-south & Fulton E-W. Here you can see the Oculus location in orange, new streets in blue over the original layout. Freedom Tower is where WTC 6 used to be

“he repeatedly affirmed… right to peaceful protest” while signing an executive order about “ ‘scandalous’ conduct which was roundly criticized by the aclu etc for its vagueness. and yes, he did compare a protestor w/ the kkk, sideways. extreme views. 💯 disqualifying.

@Pal_action
i just saw dogs eating the body of a dead palestinian w IDF recording themselves making fun of it. so this is relatively tame in comparison. i decided to only use the word barbaric in relation to humans and objects.
@KimGhattas
the prescient take is that normal smart kids generally oppose viscous mass murder. the group protesting is extremely diverse and peaceful.
clarke and you haven’t seen that majority young ppl are on the same page
@hofrench
i went to both and brown is a much friendlier place. columbia always felt like the face of empire. 😹
but seriously, the kids at columbia were up against specific donors associating their giving w/the execution of the tel aviv proposals. alot more concrete things at stake
@SaraHirschhorn1
i realize the grief over oct7 isn’t over yet, but
this ICJ *is* about genocide.
i think SA and a large part of the world want israel to be *aware* of what it’s doing.
acknowledgement of truth sets people free

i was a grad student there and worked in one of the largest institutes. i didn’t even understand the word fully but at that time i thought the admin was fascist 😅

You missed the universally felt truth about AOC’s defense of her treatment and the moral and personal clarity of her argument. This article is completely out of touch. I hope these feedback comments demonstrate that and cause reflection.

my friend had a surrogate because she had a difficult medical condition. her surrogate already finished having babies and felt called to help other women who could otherwise not. ofc they deserve to be paid. but it’s a huge compassionate sacrifice that goes beyond making money
9/11 was devastating for me. working on a small part of the reconstruction felt like real civic engagement, being a true citizen of new york. I relished the opportunity. I got pain twangs even reflecting on this. it was so long ago.
@babadookspinoza
specifically, tactically, what happened at columbia is the street protesters merged w/the student protestors. there was a core group, encircled then absorbing a larger group of hitherto “witnesses”. outside the school were street protest groups who kept the cops at bay for 24th
@gracefurby
I’ve been down to the new site, & I found the place making somewhat confusing- certainly not as clear as the previous site which enclosed a central square w/the massive twin towers framing a strong piazza in front, the sphere/fountain as its center. But 4-5 bldgs yet to rise up.

the whole nations of korea and japan basically mask forever. what’s the big deal? when you are sick or there’s a surge it’s the most common sense.

you realize it’s protest against mass murder of innocent people? and not sending $40B of american money so we could be american first every once in a while?

they literally had to get their route approved by the idf to be on that road. read the haaretz article, as it’s extremely detailed instead of this tiresome hamas finger pointing which has nothing to do with this situation 🙄
@JoeCassandra
Culture/immigration history are the starting points but it’s beyond that: there must be a loving patriarch or matriarch leader that forges this vision and keeps the kids and grandkids harmoniously aligned.

the asian kid that i know who got into harvard was the concert master of the all-america orchestra. etc etc. need to achieve something at the national level.
I made an explainer to help visualize how Asheville, NC came to be flooded. Its based on civil engineer comments, site photographs of Wendy's & the River Arts district buildings on a USGS topo base map. I'll overlay the FEMA flood zone next. Send comments for revision/improvem't
I revisited land I was interested in last year. I circled it multiple times like it was Jericho, & it felt good & right. Not mine yet but I can buy it now if I want to. Got home & feel emotional for all the effort, saving & persevering thru architecture to get to this place. 😭
never add fake ceiling beams
real beams or none
that means you need to think from a structural perspective
it’s hard to do this, and expensive
but it’s the right design principal

i think the kindest thing might be to say you are a ��normie” :) that’s ok you make the world go around but might not change much.
i do think it’s presumptuous that u think the protests are performative. i hope and expect they change the world.

given that biden supporters become equally loud in their counter chants, it has the overall appearance of making biden’s campaigns look chaotic— which probably does not read well for the general public.

I don’t think other potentials compared campus protestors with the KKK or helped fire an ivy league president, or threatened Ben and Jerry’s when they didn’t want to sell ice cream in occupied territories. The ice cream part is pretty illuminating.

i was reading comments on youtube & it has always been a working class song… be it an artist or everyday worker. i watched the ‘88 version where she is only 24 and I thought yep, she is putting herself out there probably still the check out clerk at that point, just making by.
