Listen to Thawra, The Dig’s rolling series on the history of 20th century Arab radicalism with Abdel Razzaq Takriti عبدالرزاق التكريتي thedigradio.com/Thawra/

So much scolding protestors for not caring enough about beating Trump instead of demanding that Biden stop the genocide that is fueling the protests. A second Trump presidency is unquestionably dangerous. Democrats dedicated to beating him should demand a candidate who can do so.

amazing to hear the NYPD is threatening to arrest journalism school students, professors, and the dean (??) if they leave Pulitzer Hall. literally confined to the journalism school building Columbia University WHAT are you thinking lmao

My mom is a boomer and loyal Democrat.

If you’re not horrified about an army of cops being sent to fuck up a bunch of, among other backgrounds, Jewish students, then you don’t actually care about the safety of Jewish people. You’re also on the profoundly wrong side of history.

Thinking about late 20th c. military dictatorships in Latin America & elsewhere, a common feature was universities being overrun by cops or troops to violently shut down dissent.

Anyone justifying this draconian crackdown, no matter the reason, is literally siding w/ fascism.

Shafik inaugurating an ongoing NYPD occupation of Columbia through graduation time. Damn.

When the siege tower comes out that's how you know a peaceful learning environment is being restored

the university that administers the Pulitzer Prizes is trying to make sure there is nobody on-site to document what is about to happen

In a country where children go hungry, people die unhoused and libraries are only open part time, this is where our resources go

Listening to WKCR-FM NY right now and it’s unbelievable, they are reporting live while being repressed by the cops who are being extremely brutal with student protesters, sledgehammers and teargas witnessed. If you’re not able to make it to Columbia campus tune in 📻

Massive brutal police repression of students. Called in by administrators. With the Biden Administration’s vocal support. All to protect a genocide. During an election year. Morally revolting and politically suicidal.

The Columbia university radio broadcast is pretty remarkable right now. They've got a group of reporters on what sounds like a group call on the air, describing what is happening as the NYPD is apparently trying to disperse protesters.

What's happening tonight at college campuses across NYC is horrifying.

Heavily armed police forces storming campuses. Students being pepper sprayed.

And for what? For peacefully protesting a genocide.

The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is called an 'intifada' in Arabic. It's the Arabic word for 'uprising'.

Two of the dumbest men in America, paying Elon Musk for the privilege of jerking each other off on this cursed website while students who have one thousand times their moral clarity are teargassed and beaten for the crime of demanding better from their elders. I love 2024.

Whatever happens at Columbia and to students protesting across America can be directly linked to Joe Biden’s White House repeatedly lying and smearing these students.

Summers deplores the Palestinian flag as in itself an anti-semitic symbol.
Biden condemns use of a standard Arabic phrase ...
And what triggers this derangement are campus protests not events in Palestine.
Dem establishment are completely losing their minds.
