i just got nightsitcked at CCNY but i guess i was asking for it in the sense that i was on a public sidewalk exercising my first amendment rights

BREAKING:
NYPD officer at Columbia University texting “thought we fucking shot someone” while on campus outside of Hind Hall. #cu4palestine

Western governments are criminalizing solidarity with Palestine because they know that people of conscience all over the world will not tolerate the unfolding Israeli genocide that they have funded, armed, and endorsed.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Police were quite literally throwing tables and pushing students down the stairs until one passed out. Inviting the NYPD onto campus at Columbia University University has both destroyed more property and endangered more people than the original occupation of the building.

this is how bad Columbia wants to protect its investments in Israel

These arrests across campuses in the United States are happening *while* Biden is trying to prevent Netanyahu from being arrested for war crimes

like, really understand this: New Yorkers are paying cops to stay at Columbia’s campus to stop students from protesting war. This is what it means to fund the police

Constant reminders these days of the Democrats' sympathies and priorities

CUNY students are an inspiration

occasionally you're faced with how deep in the fascist state we already are and it's like oh cool resisting this is actually the only thing that matters

History will remember the role the NYPD played today in defense of genocide.

Victory to the students! Victory to the Palestinian people!

Student journalists at WKCR are having to correct professional media, including CNN, claiming the Columbia protesters aren't students.

What a black mark on our industry, forcing student reporters to fact-check our unsubstantiated claims while they watch police raid their campus

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

chills

again, this is part of why they want cop cities. it's why we have to stop cop cities everywhere

this is going to radicalize a generation towards police abolition and towards university abolition, we will remember the date april 30, 2024.

If I were Judy Miller I would spend the rest of my life in self-imposed exile but then again Barnard chose her as commencement speaker in 2003 — 2003! — in case you need further context about the dynamics and priorities at play here

What's cool about looking back at the history of college protests is that 19 year old students have been right about every single American war, and the esteemed Harvard educated opinion writers at the New York Times have been wrong about every single American war.

A sizable, bipartisan group of very powerful people want to see kids get their heads bashed in

A bus full of arrested students just pulled away to cheers of solidarity from this crowd.

Columbia University has made yet another strategic blunder with this massively disproportionate crackdown on peaceful protesters. As with the first wave of arrests, this will galvanize thousands.
