The arrest of Ms Ozturk is over the top crazy. This is a doctoral student, a Fulbright Scholar, here on an F-1 student visa to study who expressed an opinion. The Fulbright Program is a Department of State Program! A program designed to connect people, connect countries. I worked with Fulbright Scholars, they are amazing scholars and amazing people!

#ColumbiaUniversity Bent Over Backward to Appease #RightWing, #ProIsrael Attacks — And #Trump Still Cut #FederalFunding

Instead of #outrage, the school’s interim president responded to the cuts by vowing to continue its misguided crackdown.

by Natasha Lennard, March 8 2025

"Columbia University could hardly have been more draconian in the last year and a half since students began speaking out against Israel’s assault on #Gaza.
In early November 2023, four months before the Columbia #GazaSolidarity encampment even began, the university banned its chapters of #StudentsForJusticeInPalestine and #JewishVoiceForPeace. A few hundred students from the groups had had the audacity to walk out from classes and hold a “die-in” protest on campus — some of the most widely celebrated nonviolent protest tactics available.

"The crackdown was just getting started.

Since then, the university has ordered police raids on campus three times, leading to the arrests of over 100 students. Last week, the school expelled four students, three from #BarnardCollege one from Columbia. Many dozens of students have faced discipline and suspensions for participating in pro-Palestine protests and speech.

"Professors have been slandered before Congress, censured, removed from positions, and reportedly pushed into retirement over their support for Palestine and criticism of Israel. The campus has been essentially locked down for almost a year.

"Again and again, Columbia has shown a willingness to throw #students, #faculty, #FreeSpeech, and academic freedom under the bus in acquiescence to a #RightWing, #ProIsrael narrative that treats support for Palestinians as an affront to Jewish safety.

"For all Columbia’s #appeasement, President Donald Trump’s Federal Task Force to Combat Antisemitism announced last week that it would cancel $400 million in #FederalGrants and contracts to the university.

"'Columbia has worked overtime to appease,' wrote Layla, a student at Columbia’s School of Social Work, who asked to withhold her last name having faced doxxing attacks and harassment from Zionist groups. 'Students are miserable. Campus is a #panopticon. And their funding was still cut.'

"The Trump administration can be expected to use its perverted conception of antisemitism to further its explicit plans to decimate, #corporatize, and #ReWhiten #HigherEducation. The shame here lies with university leaderships — at Columbia and schools nationwide — that have failed to stand up for their purported missions of #CriticalThinking and #AcademicFreedom. Instead, they have put some of their most vulnerable community members, particularly international students and students of color, at risk.

"There is no appeasing a political force like the #TrumpianRight, intent on a program of destruction. And there is no appeasing a nationalist #Zionist worldview that, defying reason, sees #antisemitism in every call for #Palestinian freedom. Columbia is proof of the failure of caving in; the administration has offered up a platter of repression for more than a year and is still slated to lose $400 million."

‘We have to become self-reliant’:
#African #scientists respond to dramatic U.S. aid cuts

#Lagos, #Nigeria—For many African researchers and health officials, the past 6 weeks have been nothing short of shocking. The freeze on U.S. foreign aid, followed by the 25 February announcement that #Trump’s administration had terminated 90% of all awards from the #USAID, have caused #outrage and #despair around the continent.

To fight requires strategy. Your #outrage #punditry is not helping. Gets followers though. Please stop #enshittifying this place. Bury the #hate in art and #science. Find and, more importantly, share artists, photographers, authors, filmmakers and other legit #creatives ( not influencers ) in the face of #fascism. #art #cinema #photography #nature I never ask for boosts, but I am after yesterdays #OvalOffice debacle.

Last night I finished reading 'Outrage' by Ellen Jones.
And just now, I've submitted a five-star review on Amazon: here it is:

Ellen Jones writes in a very easy-to-read manner; whether she's recalling her own experience or galvanising the reader to take action to help support LGBTQIA+ rights. It is, indeed, full of outrage, but also full of suggestions of what the reader can do to show allyship to the community. I haven't read a better book that clearly sets out the inequalities and discrimination facing the community.
If you're not part of the community, this is a perfect book to see what barriers face us and different aspects of our identity. For those who are part of the community but not yet encouraged to support ALL of the community, this book is for you. For those who are part of the community and fully support all members of our community, this book will simply reinforce your resolve and probably teach you things you didn't know you needed to know. There were aspects of the book that I didn't know I needed to know. And if you're unsure if you should read this book – just read the introduction, and if that doesn't encourage you to do something, then I don't know what will.

Huge congratulations to Ellen on what is a very much needed book.

🧵 2/n is in indignation. How not to work for the #outrage economy of #socialmedia?
In non-fictional texts about socially relevant topics, it is incredibly difficult to maintain distance these days. It is too convenient to reproduce the almost meme-like agitation. This guarantees masses of readers from #doomScrolling. It spreads what the evil guys want: Fear, paralysis, helplessness.

A good text must state the #facts, but open a window. A view of what could be different. A look at the people who
