Tapping the sign

This is basically like the kind of propaganda they would show on Egyptian TV as Mubarak's regime was crumbling...

Feels a bit much that one of Columbia's trustees is Jeh Johnson who was Obama's Homeland Security Secretary and now sits on the board of Lockheed Martin.

Palace courtier Peter Baker is a brazen propagandist and will go down in history as a key genocide apologist. The NYT simply allows him to repeatedly lie and label student protesters antisemites. It’s pure defamation and disinformation.

How much more graphic does the symbolism have to get!

Beware of capitulation to evil masquerading as maturity. There’s a lot of that going around right now

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.

Friends, please, please amplify. The NYPD are now raiding City College. Reports are hundreds of cops. Please, I know that what happened at Columbia tonight is sickening--but this is Part II. And our @cuny students are largely working class students of color.

👍👍👍

I see

Absolutely insane footage of the NYPD entering Columbia University. It’s endless.

returning to this Pankaj Mishra piece tonight lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/…

A doddering President who thinks Israel can do no wrong, a corrupt charlatan cop mayor, an out of touch neoliberal university administrator...it took the whole Democratic coalition coming together to make this moment happen

Columbia’s page regretting the decision it made in 1968 bears a banner about the decisions it is making now. news.columbia.edu/content/new-pe…

Happening Now: Our campus has been invaded by NYPD. @columbia

often think of 'new norm that prohibits using/learning about these terms and their histories, in favor of the privileging of a politics of feeling. While perhaps appropriate to a kindergarten, it is hard to imagine an approach more contrary to the most basic idea of a university'

tune into WKCR at 89.9 FM the web stream is overloaded

i'd like to suggest that men should also not be genocided

Columbia giving a 'shelter in place for your safety' order when calling in the NYPD says so much. They just gave a bunch of psychopaths a green light to beat up their students.
