We out here—university teachers—refusing the authoritarian police state created at Columbia & someone in faculty housing is attempting to drown out our demonstration by playing music, inc. the national anthem. The colonial poetry of it all. 🍉

Shafik to NYPD: militarize our campus until 5/17? Thanks besties
Shafik on Twitter: I hope the coming weeks can restore calm.

Is the calm in the fucking room with us right now!!?!??? How can students feel calm if they’re being brutalized by police?

I’m a tenured, Black, queer, disabled professor at UW-Madison. I support my students’ right to protest & I will always put my body on the line to protect them if needed. Today it was needed. Shame on this university, the chancellor & every cop involved in this mess.

This is the angle the state will continue to take. New laws will be passed and labels will be attached to your constitutionally protected views and actions and you will be forced to choose between silence or advocacy and great personal risk.

People will hold on to this line, against all evidence, because to admit otherwise would be to acknowledge that support for Palestinian rights is a mainstream reasonable demand that cannot be ignored.

This Zionist guy can be seen hitting someone over the head with a wooden board and then punching/kicking another. The same guy also, separately, punched our friend. He also may have broken another’s hand. Who is he?

A large group of Pro Israeli agitators surround a Pro Palestinian student hitting him with sticks while yelling “there’s no place for you in this world” eventually taking him to the ground and beating him.

The historical amnesia at work in refashioning civil rights protests as non-disruptive to status quo are designed to sanitize white people's violent reaction to those protests, to suggest that the majority supported the freedom struggle. This is another form of white innocence.

Today’s my 60th b’day. I’ve been working in academia for 30+ years. I have no illusions, yet have never been so horrified by the abject failures of our institutional leadership and the moral bankruptcy of so many of my peers. Just horrified and sickened.

Happy May Day y’all. 😭

They pulled an encampment student out of the encampment, beat him up, and laughed. The encampment students try to recover their friend and de-escalate back into their barricade. But 'they are Hamas'

Watch the Press Secretary’s bizarre, non-response to a question on campus protests, police reactions and violence

Jean-Pierre: No president has spoken more forcefully about combatting antisemitism, let’s not forget Charlottesville in 2017…democracy and freedom were under attack

And guess who wasn’t there to “protect and serve” the protestors who were being viciously ASSAULTED? Was never under the impression they would protect folks protesting against genocide, just adding more to the archive for abolition.

Shoutout to USC Sociology’s very own, Maggie Davis, who is also our interim Union president and has been one of many graduate student workers on the front lines. This is where our discipline is heading folks—Take notes 📝 or move over.

'You're by yourself!' shouts one man from the pro-Israel mob before he and others grab an isolated protester, throw him to the ground, and start beating him.

The evil that would have to be in your heart to compare campus protests against a US supported mass murder to white supremacists Charlottesville. Jeane Pierre underscores the false connection to antisemitism again at the end of her comments sanctioning violence against students

Jeanne Pierre follows up, making sure to malign students first as criminals harming other students, then for good measure drop the antisemitism charge in. What a horrendous human being fronting an abomination of a Presidency
