Many campuses are navigating student encampments without inviting in police violence. In the past even Columbia managed repeated & longer occupations of the same Hamilton Hall without doing this! What’s different now is politicians & uni admin/donors care more about this issue.
If any kid is hurt tonight, responsibility will fall on the mayor and univ presidents. Other leaders and schools have found a safe, de-escalatory path. This is the opposite of leadership and endangers public safety. A nightmare in the making. I urge the Mayor to reverse course.

The fun thing is that if you ever wondered what side you would have been on in the 1960s: now you know.
The fun thing is that if you ever wondered what side you would have been on in the 1960s: now you know.
When did we become so terrified of campus civil disobedience? Apparently it’s when it’s about Israel and the Palestinians. I can’t imagine any of this overreaction to the student building takeovers that happened when I was at UMass Amherst. The hysteria is preposterous and weird.
Columbia student radio WKCR reporting that Columbia’s President Shafik didn’t directly communicate with students before sending in NYPD…she just cc’ed them on her invitation to NYPD Chief to come take over campus. Abject failure and collapse of an institution.
Columbia University President Minouche Shafik invites NYPD to stay on Columbia’s campus until May 17th at least…boycott Columbia.
The Democrats have been wholly complicit in the destruction of education in the US and they are equally responsible for the fascism that will finish the job.
House Republicans launch investigation into federal funding for universities amid campus protests apnews.com/article/congre…
My mom is a boomer and loyal Democrat.
Politicians, uni stakeholders, & much of media are arguing that the students broke political norms first (by being violent, antisemitic), which justifies a state of exception. But seems like the exceptional politics have mostly come from not from the students, but their opponents
In the past there were more politicians and uni admins and stakeholders who agreed with student protests against, eg, apartheid. Now it’s extreme generational polarization. Gen Z vs older stakeholders, each very unified on this issue
Many campuses are navigating student encampments without inviting in police violence. In the past even Columbia managed repeated & longer occupations of the same Hamilton Hall without doing this! What’s different now is politicians & uni admin/donors care more about this issue.
I am absolutely in awe of and yet not at all surprised to see the courage of these student journalists.
As a former educator I know how dangerous the over-policing and militarization of our schools is. This is shameful and unacceptable. Our kids deserve better, our teachers deserve better, and our schools deserve better.
Massive police presence with cops with bats and helmets outside Columbia University amid reports raid may be imminent
there's something kinda funny for how a subset of Western conservative and liberals praise mass action and protests and then turn on it when the same tactics are replicated at home
I was gonna vote for Biden in November -- for labor and also obviously to keep Trump out of office -- but after tonight... Man, I don't know.
If any kid is hurt tonight, responsibility will fall on the mayor and univ presidents. Other leaders and schools have found a safe, de-escalatory path. This is the opposite of leadership and endangers public safety. A nightmare in the making. I urge the Mayor to reverse course.
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."
Universities, like Columbia, must ask themselves, “under what conditions would they permit the police to kill one of its students or one of its faculty members. Is Columbia willing to have police kill one of its students today? That is the gamble they’re taking.
WKCR is reporting that NYPD will have a PERMANENT presence on columbia’s campus through the remaining school year, including graduation
Minouche Shafik is going to be a harvard business school case of how not to manage a crisis.
WKCR is a historic station with historic student journalists and DJs. I was lucky as an undergrad to host a news show and fill late night DJing for hip hop and funk/soul shows. But these journalists are going above and beyond—and putting many mainstream journalists to shame
WKCR reports Columbia President email announces NYPD will remain on campus til May 17 — until after graduation — first thing tonight that seems to choke up some of the on-air student reporters
All of this is happening to defend universities' right to invest in a genocide without students being mad at them
