Students have only been in there for about an hour. Police/security are locking down the building. Also doing this: dropping a tarp to obscure signs on the windows.

The police have arrested my colleague for trying to protect his students.
Eric Adams just stated on CNN that police conducted the Columbia raid “with no injuries.” Meanwhile, this was caught on camera:

crazy that a child was murdered and his mother stabbed and also three young men were shot, all because they are palestinian and that’s not even in the conversation about who is safe in america right now

This a public college. It's the people's college. It's also just straight up in the middle of New York City with Convent avenue going straight through it with non school folks passing thru never impeded. It should never be closed and it should never have this many fucking cops

I want to urge people to focus on Columbia’s Board. Shafik does not matter
I think the moral content of a protest matters, I think it’s the single most important thing actually, and the elaborate media pseudo debates about tactics, electoral impact etc—where we discuss everything but the moral content—is because the righteousness of the cause is obvious
ccny campus magazine livestream is genuinely incredible, they’re reading out police badge numbers + names and getting people in the chat to search complaints filed against them, then reading the complaints back out loud to the cops 😭
the student uprisings of the 1960s were considerably more violent than anything you are seeing today. it is not close. students at kent state burned the ROTC building to the ground. when black students took over a building at cornell in 1969, they did it **with guns**
i bore witness to some of the most violent attacks against protestors i've ever seen. mind you these are full grown adults jumping college kids, beating and macing them. the police arrived and let them continue macing and beating everyone for another 1.5 hours. insanity.

UCLA stood by and watched as random adults with no affiliation to the university entered its campus and attacked its students with explosives and chemical weapons.

just got out of jail again after being arrested 12 hours ago, this time for protesting outside the gates of my own campus. i was thrown onto the ground and pinned down by 6-7 cops after having my phone knocked out of my hand because the cop got mad i was livestreaming it.
Imagine if encampment students started physically attacking Jewish students & began chanting “Second Holocaust.” These Zionist students are calling for massacres & ethnic cleansing while deploying physical violence, but it’s ok because the victims are advocates against genocide

Counter protestors at UCLA are attacking the encampment In bursts, in view of the police, tearing down the fence and punching/throwing things each time. 40min since police arrived.
Zionist counter protestors firing tear gas and fireworks directly into the peacefully protesting UCLA encampment right now. Wonder where they get their inspiration

200+ pro-Israel counterprotestors are attacking the @UCLA pro-Palestinian encampment. They started beating on one student and stomped another under a plywood board per @latimes @safinazzal on the scene. Where is UCLA security?
Friends, please, please amplify. The NYPD are now raiding City College. Reports are hundreds of cops. Please, I know that what happened at Columbia tonight is sickening--but this is Part II. And our @CUNY students are largely working class students of color.
Protestors are being loaded into MTA New York City buses

As per the tweet from yesterday. Every student and faculty within hundreds of meters of @Columbia campus was treated as a presumptive threat by armed police. People could not enter or exit their homes.
“3 cops at every door!” NYPD are now surrounding and blockading students inside private homes outside of Columbia campus.
Surely everyone who has tone-policed the encampments will be furious at these developments
Pro-Israel counterprotestors started tearing down @UCLA encampment barriers and screamed "Second nakba!" referring to the mass displacement & dispossession of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. Per @latimes @safinazzal on the scene with another video:

This is a lie from the mayor. Columbia closed its campus to all non university ID holders days before, with security at every entrance checking IDs.
On MSNBC, Mayor Adams says the NYPD "had to do something" at Columbia University last night because of "outside agitators." "We had to really move in for the safety of those children," he says.
imagine the amount of impunity you must know you enjoy to be able to say to a room full of cops that you & 100s of your friends are arming yourselves ...
"Everyone I know is getting armed and that should scare everyone..." Pro-Israel film producer Jonathan Pottins states at a Toronto Police Service Board meeting that he is involved in an armed anti-Palestinian grouping in Canada.
Tomorrow Congress is holding more hearings on whether Jewish students feel safe enough, while tonight, Zionist protestors at UCLA are launching fireworks directly into the Palestine encampment, tearing down camp infrastructure & attacking students
UT you’re an embarrassment
Võ Thị Thắng smiling after being sentenced to 20 years of hard labour in a prison camp by the puppet South Vietnamese gov. At the sentencing, she reportedly told the judge, "20 years? Your government won't last that long." Happy Reunification Day to the people of Vietnam.
I’m at UCLA. The kids are holding the line. We’re rebuilding barricades and the chickenshit Zios backed off when cops showed up. the spirit of the camp is strong even though many got injured. they organized. And beautiful
Fascism.
The NYPD has also begun encrypting their radio transmissions. When the police and universities block the press, but the head of the NYPD’s press office rolls up to scene on the roof of an MRAP truck, the narrative will only be controlled by @NYPDnews
The fact that student journalists are having to correct misinformation from mainstream journalists who aren’t even on the ground… The fact that journalists couldn’t get access tonight… … days ahead of press freedom day and the Pulitzer awards…
This a public college. It's the people's college. It's also just straight up in the middle of New York City with Convent avenue going straight through it with non school folks passing thru never impeded. It should never be closed and it should never have this many fucking cops
At CUNY. This is fascism btw.
Oh interesting tweet by a journalist let me just go check something
Hey Columbia protesters! If you’re so proud of what you’re doing, why are you covering your faces?
NYPD officials have spoken often recently of their intent to “control the narrarive” by building out their own media apparatus. In practice, that looks like barring reporters from public streets adjacent to a mass arrest action, then posting videos like this
#HAPPENINGNOW: An incredible scene and proud moment as we have assisted @CityCollegeNY in restoring order on campus, culminating in raising Old Glory once again on their campus flagpole. 🇺🇸 @NYPDPC @NYPD1stDep @NYPDChiefOfDept @NYPDChiefPatrol @NYPDnews
She fired herself in the first arrest wave. The question is now what students and faculty can do to shatter the Board and return Columbia’s holdings to the people
