Nasty work Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield

NOW: Professor Norman Finkelstein joins the Columbia University student encampment to give words of solidarity and support.

Pitting Black liberation and Palestinian liberation against each other on behalf of Biden is nasty work.

Lo-Letha Hall was a mother, a friend, an entrepreneur and much more before being senselessly killed.

Every time any politician goes out in public this should be the outcome.

This is dope of him

History doesn’t look kindly on what Columbia did to their students in the 60s and it won’t look kindly on what they’re doing to them now.

Wait. This is incredible. People are blocking the NYPD mass arrest busses from carrying Columbia students and legal observers away.

It’s the Streisand effect, day after day, all day long lol. College kids are smart. You can’t fool them any more than you can put a lid on freedom! The more you try to forbid them from learning about liberation, the more they WILL teach each other.

I remember when Columbia invited me to give a talk on authoritarianism and dissent in the former Soviet Union and I described…the type of things Columbia is doing to its student protesters now

As a polyglot proficient in 10+ languages — including the difficult yet critical dialect of 'admin talk' — I thought it might be helpful for me to translate the email that our university president Minouche Shafik just sent to Columbia affiliates.

Here goes:

Notice how the US govt is slowly but surely criminalizing every aspect of living as a free individual

Just got out of jail after Columbia called NYPD to mass arrest 100+ students. I have been suspended and evicted from housing by Barnard. This has only strengthened my commitment to the movement for Palestinian liberation and I promise to continue fighting for divestment.

Israel is bombing Syria, Iraq, and Iran tonight.

And they are still carrying out their genocide in Gaza.

Israel is deliberately provoking a regional war.

Protest is not meant to be comfortable. You’re not meant to like protests, you’re not meant to find them convenient. It’s supposed to be uncomfortable—so uncomfortable that it forces the powers that be to listen and change.

Columbia University is making a mistake. Their eagerness to police and criminalize their own students will not only fail to suppress the voices and activism of those students, but they’re also going to radicalize countless others who witness this abuse of their rights.

What’s going to be an unintended result of Columbia having their students arrested is they’re about to expose a bunch of middle and upper middle class families to how NYPD, cash bail, and Rikers are weaponized against people in this city everyday.

Chile…not all money is good money. That’s all imma say on that.

Well if 'NOBODY knows A'ja Wilson' then why does she have a fucking statue?

The United States is the only major obstacle to progress in the world.
