Johannah King-Slutzky is the graduate student at Columbia University who demanded that the school feed the woke protestors. Because, among other reasons, the students had already paid for their meals.

Biography
My dissertation is on fantasies of limitless energy in the transatlantic Romantic imagination from 1760-1860. My goal is to write a prehistory of metabolic rift, Marx’s term for the disruption of energy circuits caused by industrialization under capitalism. I am particularly interested in theories of the imagination and poetry as interpreted through a Marxian lens in order to update and propose an alternative to historicist ideological critiques of the Romantic imagination. Prior to joining Columbia, I worked as a political strategist for leftist and progressive causes and remain active in the higher education labor movement.

If the answer is no then you should allow basic — I mean, it's crazy to say since we're on an Ivy League campus — but this is like, basic humanitarian aid we're asking for, like could people please have a glass of water?
Aw, gee.
I bet she’s waiting for student loan relief.
With a PhD in her dissertation she’ll also need Welfare
Someone once said Ph.D stands for "Piled High and Deep." I think that definition applies to this woman.
