A lot of people are rightfully telling Columbia University President Minouche Shafik off but not enough people are saying the same to Barnard College President Laura Rosenbury. I think this is because of confusion about the Columbia-Barnard relationship ...

... the Columbia-Barnard relationship is confusing even to people at Columbia and Barnard, but the best way I can explain it to people looking in is yes Barnard's kinda part of Columbia but also not. Rosenbury should be held responsible for suspending 50+ Barnard students.

I think it's important to note that putting razors in posters is not something that Americans do when their kids go missing but is something fascists do when they hang up stuff they know will get torn down and they want to intentionally hurt people...
hey folks, any pro Israeli poster you might see in your cities, make sure you check for razor blades before you rip them down. There’s video floating around of people getting their hands cut. So be careful & check beforehand.

Yes but when feminists criticize "porn," they're talking about the capitalist porn industry, not erotic stories or nudes sent between consenting adults. This should be fairly obvious. It's the objectification & consumption of people, not digital sex, that feminists critique.

This doesn't address rhe # of reports of rape but the # of convictions. It's not surprising that a majority of rape convictions in Sweden were of foreign-born men. All that means is that Swedish rapists aren't being convicted. If you cared about women, that would upset you.

He's saying Palestinians have no reason to be upset about "change" (genocide) because Bethlehem is now majority Muslim. The reason Bethlehem is majority Muslim is because Israel drove out Palestinian Christians. Does he think only Palestinian Muslims are upset about the genocide?
