Yes, the students have been fed propaganda.

From the likes of Jimmy Carter.

From Desmond Tutu.

From the United Nations.

From Amnesty International.

From Human Rights Watch.

From American Jews.

Sorry, HRC. Love ya, but you're on the wrong side of history, here.

To what end, tho?

So they can destroy any remaining housing and infrastructure in Gaza? Then they’re going to let those folks go back home? What will they go home to if they have no homes? Bibi is pretending to care about civilians when really he’s just covering his ass as he continues his violent settlement expansion.

Came here to post this EXACT snippet.

When I suggested in a thread a few days back that it's doubtful Columbia would have devolved into the building takeover and violence if the initial peaceful protest in mid-April wasn't disbanded by police in riot gear. For making this same point, I was called antisemitic, told this line of thought had "The cops and admin made us destroy things" energy. I now believe I have someone stalking me and alerting on my posts as I've been here since 2004 and only had 2 posts hidden until I started presenting neutral observations like this that neither condemn nor condone the protesters but just make note of human nature and putting the protests in historical context. In the last two weeks, I've had three posts removed, which, again, after 20 years on this site, it's so disturbing to me that people who claim to be liberal are suddenly all about bringing in the cops to quell dissent, and all about shutting up free speech here on DU. It's like Backwards Land, and it's going to drive me away from this site, my home away from home for two decades.

She was born the year before Roe.

So she’s never lived in a world where women faced such disregard for their health. Probably grew up hearing that it wasn’t bad in the past, stories of botched abortions and women dying were exaggerated by people who want to kill babies. She didn’t realize Roe is about saving women’s lives because it was a given during Roe that women’s lives would be saved over nonviable fetuses. She was focused on the babies because she had the luxury and privilege under Roe to not consider the breadth and depth of how her vote would impact women’s health. I think she’s starting to figure it out and we watching her deprogramming on this in real time.

Ah, I voluntarily stepped down in 2016, so sorry that happened to you.

I have plenty of outrage at antisemites yelling for Jews to go back to Poland. I also have outrage at the continued conflation of those agitators outside the university with the students who have been mostly peacefully protesting. It's important to differentiate these two groups because one assumes guilt for all protesters and the other allows that Columbia can't control what happens off-campus, even if "off-campus" is on an adjacent sidewalk. That's just the other side of the bigotry coin from the Nazi playbook. No shades of grey, blind adherance to some reports (from outside the campus community, aka, news organizations), ignoring what most people on the ground are saying. You don't want all Jews lumped together as the Nazi's did, but you do want all Jews and their allies to lump all Palestinians and Palistinian supporters as terrorists. How is that a liberal position?

I tried at 30 and my female doctor said no.

I knew I didn’t want children when I got pregnant at 17 but was talked into having my son. I love him to pieces but it’s been rough on both of us because I’m not exactly the most maternal person in the world. I knew I definitely didn’t want more kids. Doc refused, saying something akin to, “What if something happens to your son?” I still can’t quite believe she was basically denying my request because I might need to replace my child some day.

Fact, well-established before Oct. 7th, 2023.

Yeah, when I hear "liberals" saying they won't support Biden because of Palestine, I think:

You don't actually give a shit about women's bodily autonomy, you're fine with outlawing abortion and birth control, you're fine with women and doctors being arrested for even talking about abortions and birth control.

You're fine with giving all the oil companies free reign on the National Parks and every polluting industry getting complete immunity to trash our planet with impunity.

You think it's okay for LGBTQ and BIPOC people to live in constant fear of their lives, and to roll back their rights 100 years.

You don't believe Russia is controlling the Republican Party, adn even if they are, you're not bothered by that.

All because Biden hasn't waved a wand and magically brought peace to the MIddle East. You care more about Palestinians than you care about your fellow countrymen. Because there is no way in hell we can be expected to clean up the rest of the world's messes until we get our own house in order. WTAF are they thinking?!

Everyone remembers Adam's rib

and not the earlier passage in Genesis explicitly stating God created men and women, simultaneously, both in God’s image.

The military is, in part, filled with MAGA.

Fox Noise is played on every base in common areas, not to mention the large numbers of poor rural kids who grew up MAGA and joined the military because it seems like a good way out of poverty, or maybe it’s just a family tradition of military service. Whatever. We know and learn of active military involved in J6 and racist attacks. It’s a thing. I’m fairly certain most military leaders are not TSF fans but the Confederate Army was part of the Union Army before the left the Union. It could turn into SSDD.
