See, when college students use the word 'intifada,' that's a direct call for violence. But when a NYC councilwoman says we need to 'slay' college students and 'raze' their schools and faculty to the ground, that's a metaphor.

Today, on the 54th anniversary of the Kent State massacre, I'm reflecting on the weight of the moment we’re in & who we will be because of it. Text CEASEFIRE to 30403

First House Democrat calls for Cuellar to resign: Rep. Dean Phillips.

His statement:

SCOOP: An NYPD officer fired their gun inside Hamilton Hall during the Columbia raid on Tuesday, Manhattan DA confirms.

The Mayor Eric Adams needs to immediately release these CCNY students. The Mayor’s over the top punishment of young people speaking their conscience where others won’t brings so much shame to our city.

Mayor Adams should seize the role of being Mayor.

NYWFP Co-Director Ana Maria Archila🦋🐺: the police response was “reckless, escalatory and put the entire university community in harm’s way. This is a shameful day in our city’s history, and one that will not be forgotten.”

This really could not be more simple. Forcibly occupying private space is illiberal coercion, not protest. Imagine dozens or hundreds of people sitting in a business — a department or drug store, perhaps — and refusing to leave unless their demands were met. Not to be tolerated.

Statement from our Co-Director Ana Maria Archila🦋🐺 on the NYPD's escalation tonight at Columbia University and City College of NY.

just wondering, have the students practiced and learned active shooter drills for when the school itself sends the shooters?

The dean of Columbia j-school is Jelani Cobb, from the New Yorker

Why did you delete the tweet Benny Polatseck ?

What’s happening tonight at
Columbia University University and City College of NY is a travesty and a violation of both student and human rights.

This is a shameful day.

If any kid is hurt tonight, responsibility will fall on the mayor and univ presidents.

Other leaders and schools have found a safe, de-escalatory path. This is the opposite of leadership and endangers public safety. A nightmare in the making.

I urge the Mayor to reverse course.

One week ago, we made history against Republican billionaires...again.

At the start of this cycle, AIPAC put a target on all of the Squad's back, promising to defeat us with a $100M from their GOP megadonors.

AIPAC got a few things wrong. Let's talk about what happened.

George Latimer could have been helping us to defeat Mike Lawler. But instead, he's courting his biggest donors. #NY16
