"At a moment when protest leader Mahmoud Khalil has been returned from the Trump administration’s brutal and unwarranted effort to deport him—and announced his own lawsuit stemming from his detention and rendition—Shipman’s ritual banishment of other anti-war activists signaled to the White House that #Columbia will be an eager partner in the many moral panics it will continue throwing together on the fly."

[Mohsen Mahdawi] Palestinian student activist at Columbia is released after arrest at his citizenship interview | AP News (2025-04-30)
#MohsenMahdawi #ColumbiaU #ICE #USPol
@[email protected] @[email protected] -
Mohsen Mahdawi, the Palestinian Columbia student who was detained by ICE on the way to his citizenship interview, was nabbed essentially on the order of the Zionist organisation Betar. They expect the Trump regime to act against their other targets, as well.
> “We confirm having repeatedly provided information on Mohaen Mahdawi,” the group said in an email in response to HuffPost’s questions Monday, apparently misspelling Mahdawi’s first name. Betar said it expected the other person it named in its March email, as well as “multiple U mass Amherst staff and students,” would soon be arrested as well, “we believe.”
> The group said, “We have nothing to apologize for,” adding: “As the forefather of Zionism, Ze’ev Jabotinsky said in 1911, No Apologies.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mohsen-mahdawi-arrested-citizenship-interview_n_67fd60b1e4b09c14eff576a0?d_id=8954963&ncid_tag=fcbklnkushpmg00000046&utm #Zionism #Israel #Trump #Fascism #ColumbiaU #USPoli

🗣 Columbia U has a $15 BILLION ENDOWMENT
https://masto.ai/@Nonilex/114316643994677511this attack on #ColumbiaU is a HOSTILE TAKEOVER not of a private university, but an investment fund.
the ponzillionaire banksters paying Trump to do this, only care about those $15 billion.
really don’t care about all the white supremacist Ivies sitting on billions of endowments; but these sociopaths won’t stop at one university.
if fascists succeed, they’ll go after any money in USA banks. and i mean ALL OF IT.

"#PeterBeinart and #Columbia professor #NadiaAbuElHaj, who also serves as the co-director of the Center for Palestine Studies, spoke just hours before this shocking development, but their conversation probes what’s been happening at Columbia and #Barnard, and what’s at stake—both for the study of #Israel / #Palestine and for the future of #higherEd."

You can’t save an institution by betraying its mission (19 Mar 2025) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow
https://pluralistic.net/2025/03/19/selling-out/
———“… public institutions aren't businesses, and they don't exist to make profits. They exist to serve the public interest. If your public health system, public education system, public archives, public museum or public parks are making a profit, then something is desperately wrong.
“Every public institution eventually faces an existential funding crisis, and when that crisis strikes, the only thing that will save you is public support.”
“ [Institutions like Universities of Columbia & Yale] aren't merely ‘complying in advance.’ They are betraying their mission in order to save their bacon”
“This is like firefighters doing a bit of arson on the side to make ends meet, and thinking that the townsfolk will continue to vote to maintain their budget.”

"#MahmoudKhalil’s detention is the result not just of the Trump administration’s agenda but of more than a year of moral panic around pro-Palestine protest."

"What is the administration so frightened of? It couldn’t have been what is actually happening on campus, where the Jewish students who were demonstrating for #MahmoudKhalil said prayers and sang songs in Hebrew."

"The obvious reason the #Trump administration is making an example of #Columbia is the #GazaProtests of last spring, which began on Morningside Heights and spread at warp speed around the nation. But the government is also using its anti-Palestinian crackdown as an excuse to fulfill another one of its cherished goals: to crush the influence of prestigious universities."

#NarrativeMedicine is a discipline that makes the case for the importance of empathy, time listening, & "close reading" as #doctors engage with patients. Their stories are as significant as bloodwork, PET images, & CATscans. What we are now seeing is a different kind of storytelling -- stories about money and care denial and suffering that creates and exacerbates illness. It makes me wonder if narrative medicine is even possible.
