I have covered tons of protests over the years and the cop response to Columbia University tonight was more than I’ve ever seen. It felt like they were using these student protestors as an excuse to play with their military toys.

occasionally you're faced with how deep in the fascist state we already are and it's like oh cool resisting this is actually the only thing that matters

the united states showing the world it will eagerly erode its own democracy to defend its genocidal colonial outpost in the middle east, regardless of whether democrats or republicans are in power

What's cool about looking back at the history of college protests is that 19 year old students have been right about every single American war, and the esteemed Harvard educated opinion writers at the New York Times have been wrong about every single American war.

Joe Biden campaign officially dies tonight. With a naked and brutal display of fascism in the nation's largest city, mobilized against unarmed students on their own campus.

This is what he said he would prevent Trump from doing. This is why we said there was no difference.

They didn’t rename the hall after a combatant, or an anti-Zionist, or an anti-Israeli…. They named it after the five year old who died alone and terrified, because Israel killed her family and the paramedics trying to reach her. Powerful witness and beautiful resistance

I will never work with Columbia affiliate on any academic project, collaboration, or research again. This is unconscionable. There should be a full academic boycott of Columbia until the board and president Minouche Shafik resign. This is a disgrace.

The optics of this is wild

This is at UCLA, where pro-genocide protestors are shooting explosives at sleeping students in the Gaza solidarity encampment.

There has been no coverage of the *documented* violence, racism and harassment by Zionists against students across SoCal campuses.

we are supposed to believe that the young people working to end mass slaughter are the threat and that the riot squads sent in to brutalize them are the peacekeepers

TO BE CLEAR, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY HAS CALLED THE COPS ONTO ITS OWN STUDENTS FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO WEEKS, ON THE 56TH ANNIVERSARY OF WHEN THEY LAST CALLED THE POLICE ONTO CAMPUS TO ARREST OVER 700 PROTESTING THE VIETNAM WAR & HARLEM GENTRIFICATION ON APRIL 30TH, 1968

Absolutely insane footage of the NYPD entering Columbia University. It’s endless.

Columbia University would rather risk their students being murdered by NYPD than divest from genocide

I've covered campus activism since the late 90s. Nothing that's happening on campuses now -- sit ins, building takeovers, encampments -- is at all outside the standard vernacular of student protest.

What's unusual is administrators calling in riot cops on their own students

this is the same town my great grandparents were living in when they were made stateless and later sent to a concentration camp

It’s interesting that 3 Palestinian students have been shot, one Palestinian has been stabbed, her son stabbed to death and yet we hear absolutely NOTHING about Palestinian safety from media or politicians.

Students in India at JNU successfully prevent the U.S. Ambassador from visiting the university in solidarity with Palestine

Hi Columbia University I won a DuPont award in 2022– an accolade from your journalism department that celebrates capturing and reporting historical moments and investigations. But today I’m being denied access to Columbia University’s campus to report on the student movement. Let press in

columbia university admin threatened immediate expulsion for students occupying hind hall but couldn’t expel the students who attacked us with chemical weapons, despite hospitalizing 15 people.

This professor was arrested last night at Cal Poly Humboldt. He is courageously refusing bond and is initiating a hunger strike until all of his students are released and justice is served.
