Sounds like a degree from Columbia, something students pay to attain, is not the long-term guarantee it was once thought to be. Sounds like a good reason to transfer out, not apply there, and never plan to attend. If they can just take your degree away after you've already earned it, what good is it?
And to be clear: this isn't a thing. Serial killers don't get their degrees revoked. War criminals don't get their degrees revoked. This is straight up fascist nonsense that makes a degree from this institution categorically a bad investment.

We should normalize saying 'death to America'. It should be a greeting. It should be a prayer we said everyday.
guys this is so crazy to me i feel like we're regressing if we, despite the history of this country droning and bombing civilians and covering it up to, are still led to believe at face value that the people killed were "justified targets this time around!" And now that trump is in charge well the guy and his fascist crew certainly believe who theyre bombing are all guilty, right?
In 2009, the Obama administration conducted "the first known U.S. cruise missile strike in southern Yemen . . . That strike, which killed 14 alleged "militants," also killed at least 41 civilians, including 21 children and nine women, five of whom were pregnant at the time."
The Obama administration would continue to claim that their drone strikes were "exceptionally surgical and precise" and "do not put… innocent men, women and children in danger" but we know then and now there was mass civilian casualties.
In 2013, the administration launched four Hellfire missiles in a counterterrorism operation in Yemen. The Obama administration claimed all killed were militants and terrorists, witnesses said the administration killed a wedding procession
We know that the Obama administration would define militant as any "military aged male" to drastically lower the "non-combatant" death
Biden continued this policy. In 2021 there was footage showing a drone strike killing civilians, seven of the ten those killed children. In fact civilian deaths are so rampant that this "mistake" continues to happen. In Syria, the biden admin claimed to kill an al-Qaeda leader then find out they killed a father of ten children
Now, with the lack of accountability, may we ask why the hell we should believe that this airstrike the TRUMP administration sent killed only the "bad guys". He killed civilians in Yemen before
Whats even more just disappointing is that people not only believing at face value what the administration will say who they target, but the complete pivot from "progressive" people being against droning to just not caring. I was in class this semester and my professor thought it would be a fun learning exercise to ask the class how many civilian deaths would they be alright with if it killed so and so top dictators and people kept their hand up for 100+ civilians. I had to disrupt that shit and say "so would any of you would have raised your hand if it was you and your family at risk of being killed because canada claimed they needed to bomb your town to eliminate a terrorist group and they cant help but kill civilians because its just war?" and surprise i was met with silence.
Can we bring back being against droning? can we make that a mainstream belief again wth.
for anyone claiming that Palestinians citizens of Israel have "equal rights" why do you conveniently leave out that there are only 3 entities that control the transfer of land and one of them the Jewish National Fund will only lease out land to Israeli jews? that it is extremely difficult for a Palestinian citizen of Israel to obtain a permit to build a home and therefore tens of thousands of Palestinians citizens of Israel are at risk of losing their home? or conveniently leave out that Israel counts east Jerusalem Palestinians of which no more than 5% have citizenship while the rest have "permanent resident status" that can be revoked anytime?
"Equal rights"
"equal rights" literally said that they would not pass a bill that creates equality between jews and non-jews omg

More than 1000 people have been killed in a horrific 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar and Thailand, and the devastation is enormous. To help survivors:
World Central Kitchen are en route to the affected areas.
MSF/Doctors Without Borders also have teams on the ground to aid the injured.

The phone numbers and email addresses – mostly current – were in some cases used for Instagram and LinkedIn profiles, cloud-storage service Dropbox, and apps that track a user’s location.
Der Spiegel reported it was “particularly easy” to discover Hegseth’s mobile number and email address, using a commercial provider of contact information. It found that the email address, and in some cases even the password associated with it, could be found in more than 20 data leaks. It reported that it was possible to verify that the email address was used just a few days ago.
In 2017, American film researchers recovered “Something Good – Negro Kiss,” a short film depicting a playful kiss between a Black couple which had not seen the light of day for more than a century. A long-forgotten artifact from the earliest years of American film, the sweet, humanizing vignette, produced by the Selig Polyscope Company, makes a startling contrast to the overwhelmingly racist and blackface-ridden contempory portrayals of African Americans. Four years later in 2021, archivists in Norway, halfway across the world, identified a sister short in their collections—an extended alternate cut which reveals more of Chicago stage performers Gertie Brown and Saint Suttle’s vaudeville-like routine, a theatrical, hot-and-cold romantic dynamic between two lovers which parodies the popular and controversial short “The Kiss” (1896). Both films, which had previously been lost, were known from entries in old motion picture catalogs but had been assumed to be era-typical, anti-Black “race films” until their rediscovery in the 21st century. Together with its more famous sibling, which has since been inducted into the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry, this alternate version of “Something Good” represents the first-known instance of Black intimacy ever captured on-screen.
SOMETHING GOOD [Alternate Version] (1898) Directed by William Selig
no one slaughter me right now ok I'm so flooded with stress hormones the meat would taste terrible
I feel as if studio ghibli films being reduced to their 'cozyness' would be tragic if not for the fact that it is a deliberate branding thing for them. from the ghibli museum to the revolving door of hot topic collabs, miyazaki and/or the people he puts in charge of these things are aware of how desirable the worlds within ghibli films are. even at that, how meaningful is the politics of howl's moving castle being motivated by miyazaki's outrage at the 2003 iraq invasion when you examine it alongside the actual text of the wind rises? what does the environmentalism of ponyo mean when faced with the massive amounts of waste generated by ghibli merch you can get at wal mart? i'm straying from the point here but
this was an officially licensed product that was released to promote grave of fireflies
one of the weirder parts of this phenomena of white converts to judaism suddenly claiming they are somehow no longer white and are now indigenous to the levant is that half the people on this website doing that aren't even converts yet. some of them are conversion students yes, but several openly have too much anxiety to even talk to a rabbi about even starting the process. and gotta say its pretty disturbing seeing people looking to convert explicitly to do this and even moreso that its encouraged to the point of having a whole ecosystem for it on here
not trying to be disrespectful, but how can I explain why protests against hamas are happening in north Gaza?
Ironic how these Zionists scum only decide to listen out to Palestinians when they show any form of dissent against Hamas, but in every other case, it's pallywood, it's fake, they're being controlled, they're manipulated and etc. But not in this case, a few hundred Palestinians affected by the war decided to go out on the streets and protest, a right that Hamas provides them. But these Palestinians somehow reflect the will of the 2 million Palestinians in Ghazza. What a joke. Yet, we got millions of Israelis protesting for a ceasefire and calling for Bibi's resignation, literally every week for the past two years. They're not very much in the position to say shit.
This was staged by the Palestinian authority, which called on Palestinians to protest against Hamas a few days earlier. The PA is part of the national Bourgeoisie and are in cahoots with the Zionists. Anyone with a sense of material analysis can obviously puzzle it together: it's an attempt by the Zionists and its puppet government in the west bank to get the Palestinians to submit to the Israeli occupation and its fascist policies.
God's curse be upon Netanyahu and the Zionists
Victory to the resistance.

“I’ve always considered myself pro-Israel-“ oh fuck off.
