The New School was founded by Columbia University professors who wanted a university run by the faculty with minimal administration. For over 100 years it has been a unique institution with progressive values and incredible students and faculty from Ai Weiwei to Hannah Arendt. We are devastated.
Last week, the New School issued voluntary separation & early retirement offers to 40% of the full-time faculty & the majority of non-union staff. These cuts to the bone are an ideological attempt to decimate historic spaces of critical inquiry & social justice. Share our statement tr.ee/qQBIDCpIuj

For the sake of transparency, and since the Brown Daily Herald is leading with it: It went out over the scanner earlier that there might be 20 people injured—but it was expressed tentatively and hasn't been confirmed, so we really don't know.

Short term forecast models are trending a bit further north with tonight’s quick-hitting storm. This puts NYC closer to the bands of steady snowfall and raises the chances of light accumulations (1-3”) through Sunday morning. More updates coming soon!

How does that work? Well, look no further. Here, I explain why Israel CANNOT fill the gap left by a US withdrawal. Indeed, we provide irreplaceable capabilities that allow Israel to carry out its war without consequence.
Without the US military, the war ends.

Looking for book recommendations about Palestine for a generalist audience. Ideally, a fictional page turner! I only read boring books very slowly so am of no use and I need to bring this book to a book exchange.

It's clear from the article that ICE is *miserable* here. They're freezing their asses off and being harassed everywhere they go. Property managers aren't allowing them access to rental properties and people know their rights and aren't letting them in.
