This is truly a moment for campus media, who know their own campus better than everyone else. I’m listening to WKCR, the Columbia student radio station right now, and it’s another level of up-to-the-minute:

Israel has been explicit about what it’s carrying out in Gaza. Why isn’t the world listening?

Jen Powley was a tremendous advocate, educator, and comrade. She gave her presence at so many events, and advocated for many in the community. While she is known for her legendary work on the rights of people with disabilities, she was also an amazing ally

Amidst the sludge of salacious & sloppy true crime pods, #TheGirlfriends manages to toggle lively storytelling w responsible reporting of the dark world of intimate partner violence & coercive control. The balance between humour/fun of the exes and the dawning horror of Bob:👌
