don't fall for these shifting goalposts. as soon as arrest records confirm that most arrestees are students, the discourse will shift to why those students deserved to be arrested

We can remember the neat trick university admin made of expelling students so they could then call them outsiders.

It's about the conveniently movable boundary of who counts as a rights-bearing subject...or even a person at all.

Every night at UCLA, Zionist mobs enact terror on student protesters who are peacefully gathered inside their encampment. They do so with impunity. In the meantime, campus messaging criminalizes & penalizes student protesters. Shame on my university.

LEAK BY COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY STUDENTS: CNN got the faces of everyone arrested in one of the police buses and they’re planning on airing them. Reporters laughed when questioned about the danger this could pose to students. #cu4palestine

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.

Columbia University President Minouche Shafik's letter to the NYPD

Ok, that’s enough: time for a final “how it started, how it’s going.” I have attended too many beautiful nights of Passover at NU—and I am too proud of our Jewish students leading sundown Seder prayers alongside Muslim friends in encampments—to accept this gaslit framing. Enough!

Che Guevara in 1964: 'The United States is not the champion of freedom; but rather the perpretrator of exploitation and oppression against the peoples of the world and against a large part of its own population.'

‼️ALERT ‼️: Legal observers at CCNY were beaten and removed by NYPD’s notoriously violent strategic response group, protesters tasered and pepper sprayed—ALL OUT TO 1PP FOR JAIL SUPPORT

This is so low on the priority list but will say anyway:where r academic prof organizations?! ASA Sociology doesnt care @ genocide, scholasticide in Gaza nor does it care @ police brutality against students & academics. Demand universities protect protesters

Students who are still barricaded inside of John Jay by the police without access to food or the closed bathroom are wondering if occupying a University building is only allowed when the NYPD and the administration force them into it against their will….?

We should understand this as a consistency in values rather than a contradiction or a hypocrisy.

Once we recognize *this* settler colony as the source of & same kind as the genocidal settler colony occupying Palestine...then what?

Once we admit what we know, what will we do?

Police officers had their guns drawn as they entered Columbia’s building with protestors. I cannot believe students have spent their whole lives trying to survive mass shootings just for their own school to call upon people who very willing to shoot them. This country is rotten.

On CNN Anderson Cooper won’t stop implying that the students occupying the hall aren’t students. He’s not disclosing and explaining what this is based on.

always relevant

NYC and Columbia are literally sending NYPD into battle with Columbia’s students, who are non-violent peace activists campaigning for the end of a genocide

Student journalists at Columbia are the only ones on the ground able to report out the NYPD’s imminent raid of their campus because the police is blocking other reporters from getting even close to the gates.

Every single self-respecting news outlet should lead with that story!
