First line on the page: “Columbia is a far different place today than it was in the spring of 1968 when protesters took over University buildings amid discontent about the Vietnam War”

The fun thing is that if you ever wondered what side you would have been on in the 1960s: now you know.

This is what happens when you sit on a lawn to protest a foreign government carrying out a genocide with full US support.

In 1968, Columbia waited a week to clear out the students occupying Hamilton Hall.

When anti-apartheid protesters occupied it in 1985, it lasted 3 weeks and ended w/o arrests.

This time they brought in the NYPD same-day.

The right's narrative is still 'Columbia let it happen.'

Seeing daily footage of police mobilizing in the US as if it's a full blown Waco situation when it's for unarmed students camping in tents protesting a genocide

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.

Disturbing to see how many people in media and politics are more vocally opposed to protests against a genocide than the actual genocide itself.

drawing in my sketchbook. Hind Rajab was a 5 year old girl in Gaza who was killed while she hid alone in a car, along with the paramedics who tried to rescue her. Yesterday students at Columbia seized the administration building and renamed it in her honor.

What’s happening to Jerry is normal. You get older, and you feel some visceral discomfort at what people coming after you think and do. But then there’s a choice: you can presume they’re wrong, or you can realize you may not know everything and become curious.

It’s once again time to brag that I met him once and he was very nice

Video game adaptations are going to replace comic books as the main source material for Hollywood. A huge improvement imo.

Always Sunny features overt bigots involving themselves in extremely edgy, problematic situations -- and it has been the funniest show on television for 20 years.

You can 100% do 'politically incorrect' comedy in a deeply funny, exciting way.

The YouTube algorithm is ass

'Keep going, keep going, they will have to concede if we keep going.'

This elderly woman was one of the leaders of the demonstrations against the Vietnam War in 1968 when she was a student at the prestigious Columbia University.

Today, she returned to the same place 56 years

the entitlement of zionists is amazing, she voluntarily goes to the student encampment with the goal of cutting pro-genocide propaganda under the guise of 'just asking qs', the student don't take the bait, so she cries about how scared she is because they won't give her content

This deal has been on the table since the middle of October.
