Isra Hirsi, suspended for anti-Israel protest at Columbia, now unemployed and reselling used outfits as elite-degree fallout grows.
Isra Hirsi, daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar and once a fiery campus activist, has entered the real world—and it hit back hard. Fifteen months after her headline-grabbing arrest at Columbia’s anti-Israel encampment, Hirsi now finds herself unemployed, peddling used cardigans and boots on Depop to stay afloat.
The keffiyeh-wearing Barnard graduate, who once led chants against the Jewish state and decried genocide, now sells striped sweaters to pay bills.
The irony is suffocating. The same hyper-woke crowd that staged their “resistance” in ivy-covered courtyards is now learning that the job market isn’t impressed by performance activism. With major law firms and CEOs blacklisting protest-linked graduates, Hirsi’s descent into online resale hustle might be less about fashion and more about consequences.
Despite her mother’s public pride and lofty praise—painting Hirsi as a brave justice warrior—America’s employers are sending a clear message: you can’t build a career on slogans and sit-ins.
