“I’m embarrassed by this institution. I mean, this institution, when I came here, one of the things that appealed to me about Barnard was its history of activism, promoting activism,” Haider said. “We always talk about Barnard bold, to talk about how important it is to teach students the value of protests in principle. And this is, I think, a betrayal of all of that.”

There is no excuse for the Colombia administration. Conversation was needed. Not police. Cowardice choses the latter in this event. President, VPs, more, come down from their office life and talk WITH the people they are actually in their jobs to serve.

@StillIRise1963 I read the 1st 2 paragraphs or so, but then my head started to explode. They negated their contract with these students. It's outrageous.

@Elleaster They did. It’s really infuriating.

@StillIRise1963 I hope they are able to sue the F out of them if the uni doesn't reverse course.

Sadly, I think you’ll find that if you step back and look at the big picture, every facet of our society is participating in the global march towards fascism.

That’s why I think re-electing President Biden will only stall the inevitable, if we can even do that.

I strongly suspect that the oligarchs, having come this far and gotten this close, won’t let a paltry election stand in their way of installing trump.

@Joe_Hill The only thing that can stop it is all of us. We can do it, but will we. If you sit where I sit, you KNOW you can’t EVER give up.
