This is beautiful. I hope we see a wave of encampment divestment protests spring up on campuses across the nation 🇵🇸

“You can’t arrest us all” is actually an approach with a lot of historic precedent and success. Columbia is playing with fire by calling the NYPD on their own students.

USC Silences Its Valedictorian. She Vows to Fight On democracynow.org/2024/4/18/usc_…

college administrators really do not realize that the more you punish and suppress students, the more of us will join. you’d think they would pick up on this by now but apparently not.

Look, if anyone thinks book bans in the US matter more than genocides funded by the US--or that PEN America can fight such bans while failing to be in solidarity with Palestinians & everyone who recognizes their community's survival as bound up with Palestine--I can't help you.

A lot of Columbia professors who have made their bread espousing civil rights history who are awfully quiet right now

Any person or place that would take this action against 🪓NYLA “the rizz” ROSE (THE REAL ONE) 🥀 is not a person or place I want anything to do with.

And I’m far from the only one in All Elite Wrestling.

“where’s the free speech crowd now” ok so the thing is they are racist and hate muslims so

NYPD have begun arresting students at the @columbia encampment.

If Shafik & the rest of Columbia/Barnard admin think this will quiet things, they’ve made a big mistake. Hundreds of students have arrived in support of the protesters. This response will only galvanize them.

Columbia is letting the NYPD loose on students who are calling for the end to a genocide. Fascism is alive and well.

MASS ARRESTING LEGAL OBSERVERS.

Columbia called the cops on their own students, now these kids are getting arrested alongside legal observers.

As arrests are ongoing, the students show that they will NOT BE INTIMIDATED

“Over 30 thousand dead! Columbia you’re painted red!!”

NYPD forced all press out except for their own cop photographer, who doesn’t carry a press card — but a police badge.

He’s taking video on his phone and shooting on a Canon.

They're pouring out all the coffee and stomping on all the food.

the lawn that students are occupying is a “designated free speech zone” according to university policy.
NYPD arrested columbia students for “trespassing” on their own campus.

NYPD JUST ARRESTED EVERY COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY STUDENT AT THE GAZA TENT ENCLOSURE!!
JAIL SUPPORT NEEDED AT ONE POLICE PLAZA!! #cu4palestine

UPDATE: NYPD is preparing to deploy drones ahead of sweep. Likely to prepare strategy for detainment and identifying of students. KEEP YOUR FACE AND IDENTIFIABLE FEATURES COVERED AT ALL TIMES‼️

oh this is FUCKED UP

From UM to Vanderbilt to USC to Columbia, students across our country are being retaliated against for using their constitutional rights to protest genocide. It’s appalling.
