“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.

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

When we talk about the performativity and danger of identity politics, this is EXACTLY what we're talking about. Racialized folks in positions of power aren't saving us.

Near the end, I point out the NYPD riot cops who are surrounding reporters. We had to end the press conference early due to NYPD presence.
All we did was speak about the arrests at columbia university & respond to reporter questions.

Hey Justin Trudeau Mélanie Joly Marco Mendicino: any thoughts?

Students are being given outdated legal info, directed to write the NLG number on their arm & told to ask “Am I being detained?” if cops grab them.

They’re not going to get a phone call, and as soon as a cop touches them they’re detained - anything said is recorded on bodycam.

🚨Current situation at the student encampment at Columbia University right now:

- Press & legal observers ordered to leave the lawn by NYPD

- NYPD now mass arresting students

- Legal observers are being arrested

- Top NYPD officials are on scene

If I were an Ivy League president I would simply not sic riot police on scores of nonviolent student protesters in a bid to impress Elise Stefanik. Elise Stefanik will never be impressed. Have some dignity.

holy shit. NBC News also reviewed the same photos as the New York Times, and also concluded they don't show that nails were driven into a groin. This is absolutely insane. The New York Times just lied explicitly about having seen photos corroborating their story. Oh my god

it’s so embarrassing how columbia university admin will do heinous things to students (evicting them, suspending them, etc) and then be like “wow i’m so sorry i had to make this choice ❤️ my life is so difficult”

Yesterday a Famous Sociologist wrote “What does donning kafiyyahs [🙄] symbolize if not siding with the politics of Hamas”

The Kuffiyeh predates the state of Israel. It’s been a self determination symbol since the 1930s.

Stop sounding stupid on top of being genocidal.

Right after voting against Palestinian statehood, the US envoy says that 'this vote does not reflect opposition to Palestinian statehood.'

Israel is bombing Syria, Iraq,Yemen, Lebanon, Palestine AND Iran right now, but I’m supposed to believe they're the victim in all of this….

Who has eyes on Columbia right now? What's the scene on the lawn?

So Israel has struck Iran - and either directly or through proxies - Iraq and Syria.
Gaza starves - famine -
Mass murder continues-
