admin

On April 30, Columbia University sent in hundreds of NYPD officers to disband the school’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment and remove protesters from occupied Hamilton Hall. The original encampment at Columbia—and the subsequent crackdown—inspired more than one hundred similar protests nationwide. To prevent further actions, University President Minouche Shafik has asked the police to stay on campus until two days after graduation. 

Not every administration has reacted to the Gaza solidarity protests in the same way. Students at Brown University … Read more

A conversation with the activists and writers about their wide-ranging history of the politics of the common good and togetherness.

The notion of “solidarity” has a rich intellectual history that—outside of left-leaning circles—remains marginal to mainstream American cultural and political discourse. This is perhaps due in part to the American liberal tradition’s emphasis on individual rights, in contrast to the French historical tradition that can be

Geri Halliwell and Christian Horner’s PDA at Bahrain Grand Prix echoes some notorious shows of solidarity by famous couples hit by scandal

admin

Arriving hand-in-hand for the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix wearing vintage Gucci and a poker face, Geri Horner was determined to give everyone a clear message: Stand By Your Man. 

Spice Girl Geri was seen sharing several PDAs with her beleaguered husband Christian Horner – after the humiliating leak of hundreds of WhatsApp messages, apparently exchanged between the Red Bull team principle and a female colleague. 

And yet the couple were all over each other, sharing kisses and huddling up close,

Palestine Is in Asia: An Asian American Argument for Solidarity

admin

For Asian Americans, among whom I count myself, the question of Palestine holds great relevance. And for writers, among whom I also count myself, the question of when to speak our conscience has always mattered. I want to address Israel’s war on Gaza and how it raises issues of self-defense, inclusion, and solidarity that have great meaning for anyone who has been classified as an “other” and for anyone who has sought to write through that otherness. This includes Asian … Read more

“The more I’m in government, the more I realize how corrupt it is.”

Janeese Lewis George is sitting in the lobby of the Kellogg Conference Hotel at Washington, D.C.’s Gallaudet University, telling me about the last three years. It hasn’t been easy for the 35-year-old since she became the only democratic socialist elected to the overwhelmingly Democratic D.C. City Council in 2020. She’s clashed with a mayor she calls a “borderline Republican” and been stifled by the council
