My alma mater, #Brandeis #University, opened its gates to transfer students suffering from #antisemitism at their current academies.

This sort of thing is precisely why I enrolled there in the first place, uncountably many years ago.

“If you are thinking about transferring due to antisemitism, Brandeis is a place where you will feel comfortable and supported.”

Thank you so much for urging us to take the time to listen. That was an extraordinary speech. #KenBurns #Brandeis

@DemocracyMattersALot

I didn't have enough characters to point it out in my original post, but I will say here, with some pride, that Burns gave this magnificent address at my alma mater, #Brandeis University.

SHUT IT DOWN FOR PALESTINE 🇵🇸

MIT, Brandeis, Harvard, and several other institutions have tried to repress their students’ support for Palestine with threats, arrests, and suspensions.
BUT THEY CAN’T SUSPEND THE MOVEMENT!!

Join us in demanding an immediate ceasefire, an end to the siege on Gaza, an end to the US-funded Israeli occupation, and a Free Palestine!
