According to Columbia by-laws, police are not supposed to be allowed on campus without the consent of the faculty. President Shafik does *not* have our approval for this raid; she has not even asked our approval. This promises to be a horrifying dereliction of faculty governance

The SRG is already en route to Columbia in what seems to be a coordinated attack on both schools simultaneously.

Palestinian students at Otto von Guericke University in Magdeburg, Germany received an email from the school that they’ve been recategorized as “stateless” due to governmental “changes in the statistical requirements.”

Germany no longer recognizes Palestinian as a nationality.

A quite frankly astounding image, one that shows how absolutely inflexible institutions are on this. It has proven to be the primary contradiction, the red line that will not be crossed. You will be crushed for saying the genocide is wrong—history demands it, democracy demands it

‘the protests are robbing my Columbia students of listening to John Cage’s 4’33, the piece of music that is explicitly designed to force you to listen to…what’s around you.’ absolutely perfect

Air Force Veteran Levi Pierpont, a friend of the late Aaron Bushnell, is camped out with fellow students at the University of Michigan. Colombia University students have inspired action across campuses!

A lot of social media discourse is an attempt to ignore the meaning of stories like this. cnn.com/2024/04/22/mid…

During the 1969-1970 school year, there were 174 separate major bombing or arson attempts on American college grounds and it didn’t prompt the kind of reactions we’re now getting for columbia students camping without a permit

🚨UPDATE🚨 THOUSANDS of students at Columbia University are on the plaza with 100s of students occupying the West Lawn

Iran has confirmed they’ve fired ballistic missiles. This feels extremely fucking grim and we are very close to an explicit declaration of war. Praying right now that some adults can stop this but things are looking quite bleak at this moment.

Congratulations to the American trifecta of Jake Sullivan, Tony Blinken and Bill Burns for guiding world politics to somewhere even stupider than it was before

I really hope it sinks in, really truly, not as a rhetorical point: what you're watching in Gaza is as bad as anything ever done to anyone. Any atrocity you care to name, this is in the same category, whatever the death toll turns out to be. This is it. You're here and this is it

‘The moment has come to do whatever it takes to force Israel to end its war. It has to stop.’

Israel executed them for cooking meals. On BBC Newshour this am someone explained how aid workers provide extreme detail to the IDF before moving & wait for the IDF to confirm the info. The strike was made with extraordinary precision. They're just murdering humanitarian workers.

A Guardian investigation finds evidence Israeli snipers have been deliberately targeting children. Among their findings:
