It is worth noting the oldest university in the European tradition, the University of Bologna, arose out of mutual aid societies to protect foreign students from collective punishment. What students are doing across the country is a return to exactly what a university should be
While the presidents of Israel's universities encourage U.S. universities to sic the cops on their students, the leaders of Palestine's universities offer their appreciation. "We welcome you at our universities in a liberated Palestine."

So I was supposed to deliver the keynote at a @Columbia symposium on climate and language this Friday, but I have informed the organizers that, with true sorrow, I am pulling out because I will not be associated with this university at this political moment. 1/n

As our noxious university president sends yet another syrupy missive to Columbia inboxes, just a friendly reminder to not believe a single word she says:

If Columbia does not divest from its financial & affective investments in the war machine, then this all ends: The university is dead on arrival, a puppet show acting in the service not of truth, but of death. Israel is invading Rafah. We cannot quit. We absolutely cannot quit.
The fun thing is that if you ever wondered what side you would have been on in the 1960s: now you know.
I see
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.
During this genocide, Israel shut off electricity to keep us in the dark about the nature & extent of its massacres. Tonight, Columbia shut down campus so NYPD could unleash tear gas on the students protesting those massacres. This is not a uni. Welcome to the Upper West Bank.

Listening to @WKCRFM right now and it’s unbelievable, they are reporting live while being repressed by the cops who are being extremely brutal with student protesters, sledgehammers and teargas witnessed. If you’re not able to make it to Columbia campus tune in 📻

Columbia is doing so much to harm students right now as they stand for what is right and has deliberately blocked faculty access so we can stand with and protect them. What confidence can be had in this admin?
In the spring of 1985 we padlocked the front doors of Hamilton Hall, renaming it Mandela Hall, and encamped on the steps for three weeks. Columbia divested from South Africa in the fall of 1985.

Cannot answer individual questions about Columbia situation. My advice to anyone who wants info: Go there in person
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❤️🔥

In 1 day, Columbia student organizers: Learned of an eviction and arrest threat Mobilized thousands of people to protect the encampment Established an additional encampment Occupied and renamed Hamilton Hall, "Hind's Hall"
The Rafah invasion, if the US doesn’t intervene to prevent it, is set to be an order of magnitude worse than anything we’ve seen so far. We must escalate, escalate, escalate to raise the political costs as high as they can go

Student protesters were right about segregation in the early '60s, right about Vietnam in the late '60s, right about apartheid in the '80s, right about Iraq in 2003, and right about wealth inequality in 2011. Seems generally bad to side against student movements.
Prof. Ruha Benjamin is literally occupying a building why are you, a tenured faculty member, afraid to sign the most tepid letter in existence?!
So much love for state school students who are overwhelmingly working class, many first generation, without a safety net for violence, arrest, or expulsion and doing this w/ little recognition. Truly a risk-taking principled stand in solidarity

See Columbia’s website in 2054 when, as they celebrate the university tricentennial, they will also mark the 30th anniversary of certain events happening right now that all will definitely have wandered to the right side of… eventually. You heard it #onhere first 🙃
But please, talk to me about how Jewish students feel unsafe on campus
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:
Amidst police violence at Columbia, CUNY and UCLA, the news that my friend Paul Auster has died. In 1968 he was one of the Columbia student occupiers, fleetingly captured by British filmmaker Peter Whitehead in a documentary called The Fall
Israel is a violent, entitled, and bratty child with arrogant parents who, rather than holding him accountable, would prefer to destroy the neighborhood, playground, school, and gym in defense of their child, refusing to acknowledge that he is a liability.
the year I joined, a professor opened the Columbia welcome ceremony for new grad students with “ahh Columbia… a university that is less than the sum of its parts.” It’s the funniest and most incisive diagnosis I’ve ever heard and only gets better over time
UCLA camp successfully defended. We will NOT be moved and they shall NOT PASS
It is worth noting the oldest university in the European tradition, the University of Bologna, arose out of mutual aid societies to protect foreign students from collective punishment. What students are doing across the country is a return to exactly what a university should be
No universities left in gaza and arguably none left in morningside heights either...
I repeat: multiple students are in the hospital with severe injuries by the NYPD.
UPDATE FROM ONE POLICE PLAZA: - No press allowed inside Hind’s Hall, including WKCR. - Multiple Columbia students were taken straight to the hospital due to severe injuries by NYPD. - Students had swollen faces from being kicked repeatedly by police.
"The university would rather see us dead than divest." As an undergrad at UCLA I went to a talk by Marc Nichanian, the great scholar of genocide, I didn't really understand much except one sentence I've never forgotten: "We must do everything we can to destroy the university."
Statement from the UCLA encampment about tonight’s violent attacks from pro-Zionist protesters.
an encampment, if you will…
NYPD to remain permanently present on Columbia campus until after commencement in mid-May
I saw everything with my two eyes tonight, recorded and photographed it, and if anyone tries to both-sides what happened at UCLA tonight they are a fucking hack.
Rachel Corrie’s words have been beating in my mind like a constant drum this past week
Ordinary people are going to have to rise up. These kids cannot protect themselves against riot cops with linked arms singing songs. Every single person of conscience in this country has to resist.
Y’all - Pls correct inaccurate news from MSM, including by @CNN -- those arrested in the first roundup at @Columbia WERE ALL STUDENTS. About 26 Columbia college & about 58 @BarnardCollege students arrested & suspended. The others were from other schools AT COLUMBIA. No outsides.
It’s fascinating to watch @nytimes writers try to grapple with the meaning of a seemingly novel concept: solidarity
All power to Professor Alatout, a great scholar of water in Palestine. Read his important article "Bringing Abundance into Environmental Politics: Constructing a Zionist Network of Water Abundance, Immigration, and Colonization" jstor.org/stable/27793298
.@UWMadison Professor Samer Alatout is back at the protest. He said he was detained and cited and police inflicted the gash on his head. He said police are “singling out” people of color. “I saw the police pointing at me and saying ‘we want him,’” Alatout told me.
So I guess everything is back to normal and I can go ahead and give my Columbia students their final exam in Hamilton Hall next week?
Genius.
