History student at Columbia. Tweet about bad baseball, all things South Florida, random funny (to me) thoughts I have, and sometimes even on-campus discourse.

An update on the dynamics of physical safety for Jewish students on and around Columbia’s campus, opinions my own:

The lack of clarity on this is a huge problem, and one that could be mitigated by students at the on-campus protests disavowing such actions.

Noting that I have no way of knowing, for sure, whether any of the people who fomented and enacted actual violence on campus last night were Columbia students. Based on how student and non-student protesters have acted in past, it seems more likely that most were not students.

It is possible violence from non-students may normalize violence from students. That is why it is important for all protesters, inside or outside the gates (from SJP's leaders to those who have joined in the last few days) to condemn violence and/or separate from those who won't.
important context from
@yoni_kurtz
. But it's not clear that the on-campus violent actors (against Jewish counter-protestors) were not Columbia students. More to the point: there is a continuum between on-campus and off-campus. Speech creates general climate

Full text of a speech I delivered to media gathered outside Columbia today, calling on university admin to take tangible action to protect its students and allow them to humanize each other:

Asking Minouche Shafik if students at Columbia have read the Bible and if she understands that the US is a Christian nation is ignorant and stupid in so many ways, but mostly because WE READ GENESIS IN REQUIRED CLASSES

Continuing on the theme of my Twitter temporarily NOT being poorly crafted “I Think You Should Leave” jokes:
“When I spoke about the things that I have heard from my peers about anti-Semitic incidents that have happened to them, I included incidents that are Islamophobic incidents on campus, to me it is really a cultural issue that needs to be addressed.” Yoni Kurtz w/

Calling an annoying task a “chesed opportunity” is a bigger scam than “Hi sir, this is the IRS and you just won a free cruise.”

No question, Dee Gordon’s first home run of 2016, the first game back after José’s death. That is why baseball is great.

From my vantage point, all of these points (Chait’s article and Klion’s response) are true.
Reactionary politics and the reactionary and violent responses to said politics fuel each other. Weird to say, but this is one of the main things I have learned at Columbia this year.
There are campuses that have managed these protests without major incident. The people who decided to help the right-wing thrive are Shafik, Adams, Hochul, and ultimately Joe Biden.

Have seen this to be true—when I called out antisemitism alongside other forms of identity-based hate in October, casting all as manifestations of similar problems, I received overwhelmingly positive responses from across the ideological spectrum. I wish Columbia had listened.

If this really is the end of Twitter, I just want to clear the air with all 104 of my followers. Elon Musk has been running this acc-, as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that’ll be a home run, and so that’ll make it a 4-0 ballgame.

That paper contained dozens of scandalous references to the overt racism from media, fans, and MLB teams that Clemente faced and overcame.
Maybe the State of Florida should rescind my award for writing about such a dangerous topic...
