NYPD is moving like they want to kill a student or faculty member right now. This is all for the sake of Israel by the way, who people in the West just don’t want their government to support.
This is truly a moment for campus media, who know their own campus better than everyone else. I’m listening to WKCR, the Columbia student radio station right now, and it’s another level of up-to-the-minute: cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/#

NYPD advances on us and crowd
The images of hundreds of police officers responding to anti-genocide student protesters will be enduring, especially when the US condemns repression of protests in other countries.
Last night, at the @HWDSB board meeting, my motion requesting a comprehensive food program report from board staff, sponsored by @sabreina_dahab, passed unanimously. This is the first step in bringing back breakfast and food programs for HWDSB since the pandemic.
ON BROADWAY 113TH
One of the most profoundly beautiful acts of solidarity I've seen: the indigenous guardians of the land that the @mcgillu occupies have given the students the right to setup their encampments on the land in fighting for a Palestine free from occupation and genocide❤️🔥

As NYPD clamps down on university encampments the IOF are bombing tents in Rafah.
TMU students holding it down!
Tune in to WKCR right now for immediate updates on the major developments on and around campus as we see a massive increase of NYPD while protesters continue to occupy Hamilton Hall. 89.9 FM & WKCR.org
Columbia is arbitrarily throwing suspension letters to Palestinian students, including the negotiator and others who have not been in the encampment for days. They are targeting Palestinians, black, people of color and Muslim students while zionists get away with everything.
🚨BREAKING: NYPD are beating and pepper spraying protesters. Who were already locked inside the encampment.
“Turn on the body cameras,” said a cop. Immediately after, a horde of NYPD began to beat a teenager.
At CUNY. This is fascism btw.
About an hour ago, tents started to go up at #UOttawa Gaza sit-in (now encampment). You can e-transfer [email protected] to get students more support! ✊️✊️

This is truly a moment for campus media, who know their own campus better than everyone else. I’m listening to WKCR, the Columbia student radio station right now, and it’s another level of up-to-the-minute: cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/#

The images of hundreds of police officers responding to anti-genocide student protesters will be enduring, especially when the US condemns repression of protests in other countries.
"Hind Rajab's body has been found" - flyers being dropped from windows at Columbia, being reported by student radio journalists right now. Absolutely incredible to see these students continuing to center Palestinians while they are under siege by the hypermilitarized NYPD
If you're following Columbia, turn on WKCR right now-- it seems like the cops are cordoning off even public streets and there are no legal observers allowed in, but NYPD counterterrorism units are massing. Listening to the police state prepare to pounce in real time, ghastly.
Please, everyone, remember this: the presence of police on Columbia's campus comes because of the request of the administration, in defiance of faculty governance. This is the authoritarian university in action.
According to Columbia by-laws, police are not supposed to be allowed on campus without the consent of the faculty. President Shafik does *not* have our approval for this raid; she has not even asked our approval. This promises to be a horrifying dereliction of faculty governance
56 years ago, Columbia students occupied Hamilton Hall and renamed it “Nat Turner Hall at Malcolm X University.” Now Columbia students have occupied the building again. This time renaming it "Hind’s Hall" after Hind Rajab, a 6-year-old Palestinian girl killed by Israel in Gaza.

Students at TMU still going strong and demanding the admin meet with them to disclose and divest #StopArmingIsrael #TwoWayArmsEmbargo #FreePalestine
TO RESPOND TO STUDENTS WHO ARE DEMANDING THAT COLUMBIA STOP INVESTING IN WEAPONS MANUFACTURING COMPANIES. WHO DO THEY SERVE? WHO DO THEY PROTECT? CAPITALISTS AND COLONIZERS
So they've turned a dozen blocks - a whole NYC neighborhood - into a fully locked down police zone to repress a small number of nonviolent students. Shame on Columbia. Shame on the NYPD. Shame on Eric Adams & Governor Hochul. Shame on CCNY.
If I were a student at Columbia, this would be a good time to look into switching to a less fascist university for the fall semester. Pull your tuition funds & bankrupt these corrupt institutions. Plenty of international online schools to consider. Look into Ireland maybe...
One of the most profoundly beautiful acts of solidarity I've seen: the indigenous guardians of the land that the @mcgillu occupies have given the students the right to setup their encampments on the land in fighting for a Palestine free from occupation and genocide❤️🔥
The traditional council of Kahnawake has confirmed that students have the right to be on this land.
Mayor Adams is trying to bring the horrors of Kent State to NYC. This is dangerous and reckless. The focus must be on de-escalation and protecting these students’ lives.
NEW - @NYCMayor says Columbia protest has been "co-opted" and is going to share their intel, he says at 1 Police Plaza. He advises students involved in the protest to leave the area and tells parents to tell their kids to leave "before the situation escalates."
if you don’t allow legal observers you are absolutely planning on doing something you shouldn’t. period.
According to Columbia by-laws, police are not supposed to be allowed on campus without the consent of the faculty. President Shafik does *not* have our approval for this raid; she has not even asked our approval. This promises to be a horrifying dereliction of faculty governance
Happening now: Hundreds chant outside the gates of Columbia University in solidarity with encampment protestors.
