.New York University called the cops on students and faculty tonight. People were brutalized, tear gassed, and arrested
The protest had been peaceful ALL DAY
And now the uni president sends us a message that 'high among the university's aim was to avoid any escalation or violence'
On its homepage, the The New York Times website currently has four (4) prominently-displayed pieces about American college protests and zero (0) pieces about the nearly 300 bodies (some with their hands and feet bound) found in a mass grave at a hospital in southern Gaza.
As my employer - Columbia University University - calls armed riot police into campus to smash a peaceful protest against a genocide, we must all speak out. My former students have been arrested. I'm proud of you. History will be too. Remember what I said in our first class last year:
We condemn CUNY’s attack on academic freedom & the retaliatory firings of professors Danny Shaw Danny Shaw & Lisa Hofmann-Kuroda. We demand that they be immediately rehired. Sign & share tiny.cc/cunyprofs now to protest this injustice! A🧵
