I’m horrified by the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers at an event in DC last night.
The fact that the gunman said he did it to “free Palestine” makes me nauseous. Murdering people for their nationality is never acceptable and this violence hurts Jews, Israelis, *and* Palestinians.

I’ve seen people say things like “Oh, if you do non-violent protest you still get treated like you’re violent so you might as well do violence” and if you think the murders outside the AJC aren’t going to make things 10,000 times worse than any Columbia encampment IDK what to tell you.

Pianist Radi Lupu died three years ago, on 17 April 2022. Between 1966 and 1969 Lupu won three major competition titles: the Van Cliburn, Enescu and Leeds competitions. These victories launched a magnificent international career. What are your favourite Lupu recordings?

Twenty-four hours into his time, Sen. Booker just passionately defended public science and universities-- which, at their best, are cornerstones of democracy and a powerful tool for collective liberation (which is why they've been so aggressively attacked).
Thank you, Senator.

A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.”
She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.
