A Paterson woman who was detained after taking part in pro-Palestine protests near #Columbia University last year has been released from ICE custody.
Decades after patients first warned Columbia University that one of its doctors sexually abused them, the school is acknowledging a culture of silence that allowed the abuse to continue and some school administrators are finally facing consequences.

Today, in honor of Black History Month, we remember Flo Kennedy, who was born on this date February 11, 1916, in Kansas City, Missouri. Kennedy was a lawyer, feminist and civil-rights activist. As a lawyer, she represented Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Assata Shakur, H. Rap Brown, and Valerie Solanas (for her attempted murder of Andy Warhol). In 1972 she formed the Feminist Party and filed an Internal Revenue Service complaint alleging that the Catholic Church violates tax-exempt requirements by spending money to influence political decisions. "I'm just a loud-mouthed middle-aged colored lady . . . & a lot of people think I'm crazy. Maybe you do too, but I never stop to wonder why I'm not like other people. The mystery to me is why more people aren't like me."
She grew up at a time when the KKK was quite active in Kansas City. She remembered her father had to have a shotgun to keep them safe. "My parents gave us a fantastic sense of security and worth. By the time the bigots got around to telling us that we were nobody, we already knew we were somebody." As a young woman, she moved to Harlem and enrolled at Columbia. She was refused admission to their law school because she “was a woman.” She knew it was because she was black. So, she threatened to sue them and they admitted her. She was the only black person among the eight women in her class.
As an activist, she once said, "we have a pathologically, institutionally racist, sexist, classist society. And that niggerizing techniques that are used don't only damage black people, but they also damage women, gay people, ex-prison inmates, prostitutes, children, old people, handicapped people, native Americans. And that if we can begin to analyze the pathology of oppression… we would learn a lot about how to deal with it." As early as 1966, she was picketing and lobbying the media over their portrayal of Black people. She played a prominent role in the protest against the 1968 Miss America Pageant. After the Attica prison uprising, she said, “We do not support Attica. We ARE Attica.” She also participated in the 1973 protests at Harvard over the lack of women’s bathrooms. When asked why she participated in the pouring of urine on the steps of Lower Hall, she said, “I'm just a loud-mouthed middle-aged colored lady with a fused spine and three feet of intestines missing and a lot of people think I'm crazy. Maybe you do too, but I never stop to wonder why I'm not like other people. The mystery to me is why more people aren't like me.
In addition to her activism and legal work, Kennedy also acted in the films “The Landlord” (1970), adapted from Kristin Hunter's 1966 novel, and the independent political drama “Born In Flames” (1983), directed by Lizzie Borden. She also acted in “Who Says I Can't Ride a Rainbow” alongside Morgan Freeman.

If you keep claiming that it's necessary for your country to invade neighbouring countries for "national security," where do you draw the line?
Does this keep growing until you've eaten the whole world?
How far are you willing to let your government eat the whole world for supposedly "national security"?
Do you really think this kind of mindset is going to make you safer? Has invading other countries in the past ever made you safer?
I'm assuming you can bet on #Polymarket on the next country the empire in which I reside invades.
They're going to do foreign policy decisions by crypto voting and betting aren't they?
There will be no wagering here but which do you think is next, because there WILL be a next until he's stopped.

Gustavo Petro two of his offspring and Jeffrey Epstein
from the 90s
HOLY SH*T! Colombian President Gustavo Petro
just went after Trump:
“A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our
democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming
out, they send warships to kill fishermen &
threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil."
And this is exactly how the world sees this
administration: a clan of pedos.
What a f*cking embarrassment!

Funny how hard it is to find an English language version of the story which mentions what the Columbian President said....the 'Paedo-Conspiracy' in the English speaking world continues...
#ClanOfPaedophiles #USPOL #USPOLITICS #Columbia #GustavoPetro #Epstein #Trump #EpsteinFiles
So not only was he calling out the American Imperial 'Clan Of Paedophiles' but he was also making an official state apology for the previous Columbian governments' human rights abuses. Would that the USA ever did that about their own crimes.....

During his speech at the ceremony to recognize the victims, the head of state launched a
strong accusation when warning about “a clan of pedophiles” that, in his words, “wants to
end democracy in Colombia”. In addition, the president directed direct criticism at former
president Andrés Pastrana, adding tension to the national political scene.
#Urban #WildlifeCorridors Help Mitigate #Climate Effects
Kyle Chan February 26, 2025
Excerpt: "#GreenCorridors offer a promising start to mitigating these urban issues, allowing cities to naturally lower temperatures through evapotranspiration, a plant process that releases water vapor to cool the surrounding air. Increased vegetation will also allow more hazardous particulate matter (PM2.5) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to be absorbed, reducing greenhouse gas concentration and improving air quality.
"#Columbia’s second-largest city, #Medellín, launched a green corridor initiative in 2016. Since then, environmental planners there added rows of vegetation along the most polluted avenues, maximizing the amount of CO2 intake from their $16.8 million investment. Maurício Correa, a researcher studying environmental engineering at a Colombian University, found that the 8,800 trees planted became effective 'green barriers' against particulate matter and reduced average city temperature by two degrees Celsius.
"Fighting #ClimateChange isn’t the only thing green corridors can do. Historically, #wildlife has rarely been welcomed into urban life, experiencing drastic changes in the #ecosystem. However, nature-based infrastructure can promote #biodiversity and provide animal species with a safe habitat. Green corridors are indeed multi-purpose and flexible. To maximize the limited space in busy cities, green corridors can function as recreational centers, city facilities and much more—all while mitigating climate change.
"Green corridors can be an effective solution for any city anywhere. In #NewYork, the #ManhattanWaterfrontGreenway consists of almost 32 miles of #BikePath lined with various plant species. Urban '#NatureWays' in #Singapore mimic the natural #rainforests by incorporating trees with #canopies stretching across the roads."

Hope this isn't the long term plan : #Venezuela today, then #Columbia (#Trump already threatening them) , easing the way to the promise of taking back #Panama and the canal (threatened January 2024), then an easy step to overthrow a few defenseless central American countries, thereby cornering #Mexico from north and the south (recently threatened again by Trump), so the #GulfofAmerica makes sense in hindsight.

Today in Labor History December 5, 1928: The Colombian military slaughtered up to 2,000 people in the Banana Massacre. Workers had been on strike against United Fruit Company since November 12. They were participating in a peaceful demonstration, with their wives and children. The Columbian troops set up machine guns on the rooftops near the demonstration and closed off the access streets so no one could escape. The soldiers threw the dead into mass graves or dumped them in the sea. U.S. officials in Colombia had portrayed the workers as communists and subversives and even threatened to invade if the Colombian government didn’t protect United Fruit’s interests. Gabriel García Márquez depicted the massacre in his novel “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” as did Álvaro Cepeda Samudio in his “La Casa Grande.”
United Fruit, which is now called Chiquita, controlled vast quantities of territory in Central America, and the Caribbean, maintained a near monopoly in many of the banana republics in which it operated (e.g., Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica). By 1930, it was the largest employer in Central America and the largest land owner. In 1952, the democratically-elected government of Jacobo Arbenz, in Guatemala, began giving away unused land, owned by United Fruit, to landless peasants. In 1954, the CIA deposed the Arbenz government, leading to decades of brutal dictatorship and genocide of Guatemala’s indigenous population. The head of the CIA at that time was former board member of United Fruit, Allen Dulles, who also oversaw the over throw of the democratically elected prime minister of Iran (1953), the Bay of Pigs invasion (1961), and the MK Ultra LSD mind control experiments.

Over the last week, the Trump administration has cancelled $400 million in grants and contracts to Columbia University and $800 million in grants to Johns Hopkins University.Columbia made an attempt to pre-emptively please this administration, and they were still made to suffer. That's how this works. Laying low and/or cooperating does not help:So far, America’s leading universities have remained virtually silent in the face of this authoritarian assault on institutions of higher education. That must change. Harvard must stand up, speak out, and lead a public defense of our freedom to speak and study freely.
Not only is silence in the face of mounting authoritarianism morally objectionable, but, as the Columbia case suggests, it’s not working. Columbia’s leadership made repeated concessions to right-wing critics, only to be the first to come under attack.From https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/3/14/enos-levitsky-harvard-columbia-trump/ (be aware: the title evokes the Holocaust, which in this context is not great).

What, exactly, are universities like Columbia actually for in the US in 2024? They are making it very difficult to believe that they are for students. If not the students, who and what are they for, then?
