"But no-one ever asks us if we wanted to be ruled over, or if we wanted others to make laws which might threaten, fine or imprison us. We didn’t vote for this situation, it was just the one we were born into, and its origins reveal this wasn't accidental."

this is how fascist starts an ethic cleansing

This is the way to protest, French women you are an inspiration

I love that the Columbia student paper identified @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social only as "District 36 Assembly member" which is true but probably much less relevant to Columbia students than the fact that he's running for NYC mayor. www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2025/03...

he has a green card! and still abducted by ICE!!
