a small piece of solace for Chicago in a profoundly dark night as DePaul’s encampment remains peaceful and free from CPD engagement thus far

I don't think starting out May Day by sending riot police to brutalize and arrest students and workers at @CUNY City College is going to end up working the way they want it to.
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.
NYPD arrested someone who was walking his dog near CCNY as they raided CCNY’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment, and now he’s searching for his dog. Looking for a beige Pomeranian named Neptune last seen around 140th & Convent. DM if you find
The way WKCR journalists are handling copaganda (insisting on confirmation and verification before repeating tropes and rumors) versus the way CNN is not only uncritically repeating police statements but marveling at their tactics is truly something to behold.
@WajahatAli It’s a huge win for MAGA, who has been trying to get people to treat brown protesters as an occupying army for years and justify the violent use of police force.
This is legitimately one of the most insane videos out of the past 24hrs. Like a couple dozen kids being bombarded with war weapons in broad daylight for no fucking reason. We live in hell

This is what the violence we're seeing on campuses is designed to defend.

The reporting from @WKCRFM is stunning. Students journalist doing war zone-like reporting from their own campus. It’s a heartbreaking listen, but also inspiring because they are pros who are holding back no punches about the gravity of the moment.
Love the student journalists on @WKCRFM pointing out CNN ran this story just yesterday about the use of the “outside agitator” trope to try to delegitimize protesters—while tonight CNN’s anchor pushed that exact narrative, with no evidence. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/04/27…
It’s wild that this is the main narrative we would have without WKCR, whose broadcast is buckling under the flood of listeners

the student reporters at WKCR asking “who is going to document this if we don’t stay?” is so…gosh. this is so brave of them. Ian, McKenna, Leon, Georgia, everyone else: you all have my whole heart. stay safe, young journalists.
And here you can see officers entering an academic building with their weapons drawn, in response to college students protesting their tax & tuition dollars contributing to a plausible genocide
This is one of the craziest goddamned things I've ever seen, imagine how much of a complete sociopath you have to be to think this is good or warranted
This has always been a hallmark of protest coverage no matter the subject. Never a focus on the substance or aim of the protest, only on the strife or confrontation it causes. A complete disservice to the public and counter to our mission to help audiences learn and understand.

WCKR cooking anderson cooper right now. i mean literally roasting him for reporting rumors
Rafah is being decimated, there is nowhere else left to go. Israel is now bombing more than 1.7 million civilians trapped in Rafah, Gaza's last place of refuge. A massacre is happening in Rafah right now and the world is silent.

CNN's @miguelmarquez: "I've covered lots of this sort of stuff around the world, and i've never seen this many police moving into one area."
The entire world should be shocked by the level of violence that a Democratic Mayor, Governor, and President are willing to use to stop students from criticizing America’s support for Israel.

I have covered tons of protests over the years and the cop response to Columbia University tonight was more than I’ve ever seen. It felt like they were using these student protestors as an excuse to play with their military toys.
not sure how liberals are gonna be able to scare us about fascism under a trump regime when this is literally happening against students & professors peacefully protesting in the most dem-majority state and city. sick to my stomach right now.
SWAT AND SRG HAVE INVADED COLUMBIA’S CAMPUS AND ARE ENTERING HIND’S HALL. THEY HAVE FORCED OUT ALL PRESS TO PREVENT RECORDINGS OF THEIR BRUTALITY.
growing up through Occupy, BLM, George Floyd I have seen so many massive violent police crackdowns, but the sheer asymmetry of this fucking mini army descending on some students in a building is something else
Absolutely insane footage of the NYPD entering Columbia University. It’s endless.
NLG Legal Observer (LO) program was founded in 1968 bc of the student demonstrations at Columbia and today they weren't letting the legal observers in. Dire times.
Notice the implication: a crowd of New Yorkers celebrated the arrests. But this is not true. The crowds surrounding the NYPD busses were filled with demonstrators cheering for the arrested protestors.
Crowd cheers on the NYPD bus filled with Columbia protestors leaving campus. @CBSNewYork
I don't think starting out May Day by sending riot police to brutalize and arrest students and workers at @CUNY City College is going to end up working the way they want it to.
Tonight in the United States of America, we are witnessing a militarized police force, funded by NYC taxpayers, arresting American students in the name of a foreign country that’s carrying out a genocide.
i just got nightsitcked at CCNY but i guess i was asking for it in the sense that i was on a public sidewalk exercising my first amendment rights
We've been fielding questions from people out of state for months about what to expect from police for the DNC. Have tried to give honest answers about surveillance, non-lethals, etc. given what we've seen last 4yrs. What we're thinking now is: prepare for anything.
Yeah, what kind of two-bit banana republic would jail protesters???
US condemns Cuba over long jail sentences imposed on protesters bbc.in/3JG3RyE
no legal observers, cherry-picked journalists, no faculty, no students not living in campus residences—columbia clearly means to keep the world from seeing the brutality they are about to unleash on their own students
RIGHT NOW. @Columbia’s lockdown & faculty lockout by our administration as NYPD moves in. In this way, no one will be able to see the brutality against our students.
NYtimes has a story where I guess the angle was “COVID ruined their HS graduation, and now Palestine protests are ruining their college graduations” and they interview the kids and the kids are like “Free Palestine, my graduation is meaningless” lmao REKT
