Reminder that the incessant media maligning of the peaceful anti-war movement today is literally how media tried to malign the peaceful Civil Rights movement then.

Even now studies show 99% of these protests are peaceful. Don’t fall for the destructive & false claims otherwise.

Behind these cops is a memorial wall we set up for the journalists killed in this war.

The NYPD came into the journalism building at Columbia (where even outside press is not allowed at this time) to rest their legs and eat some snacks after a long night of arresting students.

I know there’s a lot going on right now but it feels kind of important that Boeing is doing a Michael Clayton in broad daylight

To everyone who’s still not quite sure what is happening in 🇬🇪 right now, and why the events unfolding on the ground are truly unprecedented, or why the struggles of the Georgian people should even matter to those in Western capitals, here’s a (belated) not-so-short recap 🧵

So you agree that people who break in and vandalize a building should be prosecuted?

J.D. Vance: 'Exactly.'

I’m just checking because you did help raise money for people who did so on Jan. 6th.

I found a separate document that states that Google is directly providing the Israeli government with cloud-hosted access to Palantir analysis software. A recent report by James Bamford found that Palantir was being used extensively in Gaza targeting

Columbia's web page discussing its regret for calling in police to arrest students in 1968 is displaying a warning about limited access due to NYPD on campus arresting students.

May Columbia never live this down.

CNN is now reporting that a small number of people were in Hamilton Hall. If it turns out they were students, will Anderson Cooper apologize for misleading viewers?

You may well have the unusual situation of the Columbia student radio station being eligible for a Pulitzer Prize, administered by Columbia University, for the station’s coverage of how Columbia called the cops on Columbia students. (They’re doing an extraordinary job).

Cherry picking clips of protesters to discredit largely peaceful movement. Blaming protests on Russia. Vilifying the protesters more than wannabe strongman Netanyahu who tried to weaken Israel's courts to dodge accountability in a corruption case. You've lost your moral compass.

at this point it’s not even worth remarking on the irony of columbia’s student reporters being forced back into fucking PULITZER hall to keep them from reporting on police brutality elsewhere on campus

Barnard faculty overwhelmingly passed a vote of no confidence in President Laura Rosenbury on Tuesday with 77 percent of respondents in favor—the first recorded instance of a Barnard president ever receiving such a vote.

I will do everything in my power to help the students who are penalized for protesting. I will put you in contact with other lawyers. I will write you a character letter. I will be a reference. Whatever you need. The good people are on your side. History is on your side

The police are way too giddy to use their taxpayer-funded toys. This is probably the highlight of their year. Overtime and violence? Christmas in the springtime.

Student journalists at WKCR are having to correct professional media, including CNN, claiming the Columbia protesters aren't students.

What a black mark on our industry, forcing student reporters to fact-check our unsubstantiated claims while they watch police raid their campus

If you also couldn’t connect through the student station’s website for its riveting on-the-ground reporting about the NYPD invasion of Columbia, it’s streaming here. music.apple.com/us/station/wkc…
