lawyer mush brain. the problem with J6 is that they tried to overturn an election based on a lie. If the election were indeed stolen, if—for example—Trump actually did rig 2024, and all other avenues were closed, then protestors would absolutely be justified storming the capitol
You can’t denounce the J6 rioters and then say the Columbia students who occupied a building by force and destroyed property should be immune from consequences. This is the real world.
Can’t wait for the president of Columbia University to tell my industry what’s good journalism at the Pulitzers next week. Try not to trip over any hogtied student journalists while collecting your award.
Not to get emo, but I don't think that fascist psychopaths like Nemat Shafik who don't know Columbia can understand how a night like tonight just breaks the University's heart. How emotionally violating it is to see this violence on the usually safe campus. She has set fire to…
White house staffer opening an incognito window and googling "can you cancel a national convention"
disappointed in r/Columbia anons belitting WKCR reporters for breaking down… what makes their coverage world-class is its inherent humanity. emotion and logic are not mutually exclusive and you are not somehow smarter or better for refusing to react
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 WHAT are you thinking lmao
A city that can’t keep its libraries open but can brutalize its students for protesting a genocide
WKCR points out that columbia is claiming that NYPD was needed bc the protestors who took over hind hall are outside agitators, not students, but IF that’s true, it’s due to their own security failure, since campus has been closed to anyone without a student ID for 2 weeks

@saintsoftness this faculty member is freaking out in the suburbs locked out of my place of work watching in real time as my students are potentially harmed. horrified doesn't begin to cover what I am feeling
Okay, I’m going to need a lot more of you to come over to the right side of history now. Not expecting you to do much, just for ballast.
My god, I have never before blocked this many ghouls, gasbags and fascists on this app in one night, and yes, that includes Election Night 2016
This is what happens when you sit on a lawn to protest a foreign government carrying out a genocide with full US support.
