The nursing staff here seem to really enjoy coming to work. I hear them laughing through my closed door and it makes me smile. But I’m still ready to go home.

‘Violent’ Columbia protester is heir to ad empire— and long rap sheet.
The provocateur, who has arrests dating back to 2005.

He broke into the school and was charged with burglary, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, conspiracy and criminal trespassing.

“I observed the defendant inside the location with several other individuals,” a police officer wrote in the arrest report. “I did observe doors with shattered windows, doors off hinges, broken desks and exits blockaded by piled-up chairs.”

Carlson destroyed a camera inside a holding cell at One Police Plaza while he was in custody around 1 a.m., police sources said.

Recently he hit the 22-year-old in the face with a rock during an April protest.

Carlson was charged at the time with suspicion of attempted lynching, malicious mischief, battery to a police officer, aggravated assault on a police officer with a deadly weapon, willful resistance to a police officer that results in serious bodily injury.

Not a student.

Don't like this economy? OK, just wait for Trump and the GOP to ruin it: Authoritarians always screw up the economy — come to think of it, GOP presidents have done that for decades

@tjcasser It is a thing. The first time I encountered it, I couldn’t stop laughing. It is absurd. @lovelylovely

"Is it good for the Jews?" That has been a question long asked by Jewish Americans, especially immigrants and those of the second generation, scarred by memories of the Holocaust, when assessing the policies of the US government and the pledges of political candidates. Here are my thoughts on the subject. open.substack.com/pub/newsguy/

I’ve had quite the eventful day. Felt worse this morning, so we went back to the gorgeous stand-alone Emergency Department. They took more x-rays and gave me another breathing treatment. Ran some blood tests and other things and determined that the pneumonia had spread, so they put me in an ambulance and sent me to the main hospital. And here I sit. Ugh.

So much for "student" protests on campus. #Protest

"Of the 112 people arrested at Columbia, 32 (or 29%) were not affiliated with the university, according to an NYPD official. At The City College of New York, 170 people were arrested and 102 (or 60%) of them were not affiliated with the college."

@JonBanquer If you migrate, your followers will come with you. I think you’ll still have to follow everyone from scratch. Definitely make a post where you’re going prior to migration. @blueemu

@JonBanquer Probably not feasible from mastodon.social, but I’d be surprised if Serge doesn’t already have kolektiva blocked from babka. @blueemu

@JonBanquer Let’s not try to confuse him with facts. He’s an anarchist. He wants total confusion. Honestly, as admin, I’m about ready to cut kolektiva completely. @RD4Anarchy@kolektiva.social @blueemu

@RD4Anarchy@kolektiva.social There is no genocide. Only propaganda. @JonBanquer @blueemu
