ccny campus magazine livestream is genuinely incredible, they’re reading out police badge numbers + names and getting people in the chat to search complaints filed against them, then reading the complaints back out loud to the cops 😭

NYPD says 282 people arrested between CCNY & Columbia, 109 from Columbia and 173 at CCNY. Charges ranging from trespass to criminal mischief and burglary (burglary for those who occupied Hamilton Hall).

Our team of 18 student volunteers is immensely proud to be providing this coverage to the Columbia community, NYC, and the world at large. We are incredibly appreciative of your support and understanding.

I’m a tenured, Black, queer, disabled professor at UW-Madison. I support my students’ right to protest & I will always put my body on the line to protect them if needed. Today it was needed. Shame on this university, the chancellor & every cop involved in this mess.

CW: Police violence

I’m home. I’m significantly bruised, in a lot of pain & my shoulder is sprained. I’ve been told to return to the hospital if certain things happen which might be signs of internal damage, esp from the strangulation which you can see briefly in the video here

So I was supposed to deliver the keynote at a @columbia symposium on climate and language this Friday, but I have informed the organizers that, with true sorrow, I am pulling out because I will not be associated with this university at this political moment.

I’m as guilty as anyone of thinking of my Columbia University undergraduates as “kids.” But here is what I’ve seen them do in the last two weeks: (1/10)

VICTORY!! BROWN COMMITS TO DIVESTMENT VOTE! Brown administration has conceded to students’ demand that the Corporation vote on divestment after years of tireless pressure from the student body, 61 student arrests, an eight day hunger strike and seven days of encampment

In the spring of 1985 we padlocked the front doors of Hamilton Hall, renaming it Mandela Hall, and encamped on the steps for three weeks. Columbia divested from South Africa in the fall of 1985.

Tonight as NYPD assaults protesters at Columbia & clears out student journalists, I am thinking of this:

Remember this?

Dr. Mahmoud Abu Nujaila wrote this on October 20th, on a whiteboard normally used for planning surgeries, in Gaza. Israel killed him in November 2023.

Y’all. This is the notice of suspension that one of the UGA students received. I have redacted their name. But take a note of the timestamp. Email sent at 5:09 PM, they have to contact her office by 5:10 PM, or else they are suspended at 5:11 PM. You can’t make this up. 🤦🏼‍♀️

They are mass arresting @cuny students in the middle of the night, while everyone is transfixed with the horrors at Columbia.

Basically a teenager got disappeared and is still like 'yeah it was bad but nothing as bad as happens to Palestinians on a daily basis.' These kids are heroes.

🚨 Happening now: UCLA Faculty for Justice in Palestine stage a mass walk out in solidarity with student protesters. Faculty are supporting the students’ demands for the university to divest from companies that do business with Israel 🚨

'The U.S. Department of Defense administers the 1033 program, which transfers excess military equipment to U.S. police forces—federal, state and local. This program has so far sent $6 billion in military gear to police departments.'

This German university reversed its decision to change the status of Palestinian students into “stateless”. Keep on speaking out and pushing back - this is the moment to do so.

This is legitimately one of the most insane videos out of the past 24hrs. Like a couple dozen kids being bombarded with war weapons in broad daylight for no fucking reason. We live in hell

ATHENS, GA.—This morning, police arrested 17 students at University of Georgia for criminally trespassing on the campus where they attend school.

The UGA students had set up a Gaza Solidarity encampment barely an hour before police arrived and brutally arrested them. 1/x

They don't have a radio station, but the City College magazine is live streaming right now on IG. They were just told they're going to be arrested if they don't leave but there are so few on the ground documenting. Please don't forget them. instagram.com/ccnycampus

Every union member in the country should take a long, hard look at how the state is treating a bunch of rich college kids hanging out in tents on a college quad because all that shit is coming to a picket line near you very, very soon.
