A GWPD officer took out a baton while walking toward student protesters in U-Yard after demonstrators broke down GW’s barricades

Spent the day off from the Trump trial talking to Columbia students about the months of planning that went into their encampment and the “ridiculous” narrative about outside agitators floated by Mayor Adams, Kaz Daughtry and others apnews.com/article/inside…

the past several days show the vital role that independent student news outlets like the Columbia Daily Spectator play, especially when political polarization and misinformation are rising. every community needs on-the-ground witnesses to major news events, and universities are no exception
