Some things you can't make up, unless you are a writer for the Babylon Bee. The real world is just too absurd to satirize these days.
A case in point is the entitled twit at Columbia who demanded "humanitarian aid" from the administration is a PhD student at the school, and she is as bizarre as you would expect. She is also employed by the school, although she is very fond of striking because as a Marxist she wants higher pay and benefits.

So the press conference jihadist is a PhD student named Johannah King-Slutzky (really) and this is what she's working on. Dying. Absolutely dying. Beyond parody.

Reporter grills Columbia student after she demands the university help feed protestors occupying Hamilton Hall:
"It seems like you're saying, 'we want to be revolutionaries, we want to take over this building, now would you please bring us some food'."

Her claims are misleading: (1) Per Columbia, campus dining is open (John Jay Dining Hall, Fac Shack, JJ's Place)https://dining.columbia.edu/news/service-changes-through-end-spring-2024(2) Humanitarian aid is for saving lives in the most dire situations (violent conflict, natural disasters). The students can leave if they want. https://www.worldvision.ca/stories/disaster-relief/humanitarian-aid-and-assistance
