Day four of Northwestern's Gaza solidarity encampment. Students protected the camp from a wave of counter-protesters in the morning. Spirits still remain high as students settle in for the upcoming week.
Day three of Northwestern University's Gaza solidarity encampment. Undeterred by the rain, students reorganized camp into a full-blown settlement. The roots grow deeper
I find it interesting but not at all surprising that the organizer for yesterday's Northwestern encampment counter-protest, a grad student at Kellogg, openly admitted to working with law enforcement and having a prior career at the pentagon
We’re now into day 4 of the encampment and dozens of tents remain.
NU has not responded to our repeated questions as to why it has not enforced updated protest guidelines, which state “installation of tents or other temporary structures on University property is prohibited.”
Power is in the longevity of a movement, and what we built was a community space for that longevity to thrive. I just hope and encourage students to continue to show up even if that space will not look the same
“It’s not about the tents…it’s about liberation for Palestine”
A speaker addresses the concession that the tents will be taken down except for a few areas that will be allowed to remain until the end of the quarter.
“Our power is not in the tents…it’s in us”
Conspiracy theorist James Lindsay did not charge a speaker fee to give a lecture at Northwestern on Tuesday. NU College Republicans funded security for the event.
I had the privilege of speaking at Northwestern tonight for
@yaf
, and some students tried to get it shut down (failed), protested (failed), and heckled me throughout (failed). It was fun. The article will say I used hate speech and told a guy his question was "fucking stupid."
I need to stop matching with yt ppl on dating apps because why I got told that "I have the best of both worlds" when explaining that I'm black and mexican
Regardless of what is and is not in the future for the movement at Northwestern we must still keep our attention on Gaza and utilize the privilege given to us to uplift other movements in the Chicago area, we started something special, so don't let it end.
An anonymous player who played through the 2009 season alleged head coach Pat Fitzgerald would regularly ask Black players and coaches to cut off their dreadlocks to be in line with the “Wildcat Way.” He said white players were not asked to cut off long hairstyles.
The road to starting and sustaining a business, especially in places like Evanston, is already so steep for minorities amd deciding to try and ruin said business because you feel they will make the community "less safe" is so coded in malice and underlying bias it's crazy

“The only way conservatives will ever gain the trust of Generation Z and Millenials is by framing themselves as defenders of the environment,” writes Op-Ed Contributor Caleb Nunes.
Don't get me wrong, the organizers are to be commended for what was achieved, and this will live on in Northwestern history, but I worry for what this will say for movements like these. That they can be appeased with a vague promise that real divestment will come one day
Statement from Northwestern’s entire team pushing back against the allegations of hazing, which they call “exaggerated and twisted.” They also say coach Pat Fitzgerald had no knowledge or involvement in the allegations.
A&O blowout review, 8/10 Amine's set was too short but hella hype, lost two points for the group of freshmen girls that kept taking pictures of me and posting me on social media because they were mad at me getting pushed into them against my own will
Fonda! They opened up at the start of the quarter and have decent food but just never reached most students because they presented themselves as upscale and more for the classic northern Illinois residents
advertising is truly everything because a cantina opened around the same time as mas salud just down the street and I haven’t seen anything about it. it’s beside papa johns???

My brother just got an offer from here. He has his own choice but this place is special and Coach Fitz helped me grow into the man I am today. I would tell him to go there every day of the week.
A source familiar with the situation told The Daily that board members had kept up with coverage of the situation today and grew increasingly frustrated.

Not even selfish at all, I think it's one of the most beautiful things about our community. There is a reason why the BPP free breakfast program was so impactful
Inbox: Pomona College faculty vote in favor of divestment from Israel. They’re asking the college to begin w/ removing direct investments in the 11 firms widely identified by Palestinian civic organizations including Barclays, CAF, Chevron, Elbit Systems Ltd., HD Hyundai, Volvo.
I generally dislike the entrepreneurship class I'm in rn but the professor lecturing about how NU students care too much about grades and shouldn't worry about each individual quiz grade because they won't remember it in 5 years was so real
This organization I work with often, Irregular Labs, has crafted a test (I took it, it’s pretty cool!) and it’s sort of a career horoscope alignment quiz, you can take it with this link and I’d love to know what you got! (1/3)
Shameless self promo but should anyone be interested in buying any of my NUMB graphics as a poster or interested in NUMB stickers you can find them all here
