There is a lot of academic lit on the paradox of repression. Repression tends to grow support for a movement - unless the repressors can delegitimize the movement as 'infiltrated' or somehow themselves violent (antisemitic) and thus deserving of violence. These are old tactics.

Taking over Hamilton Hall as done in 1968, Columbia students unfurl a banner that reads "Hind's Hall," in reference to Hind Rajab, a six-year-old girl killed by Israeli forces. Hundreds of students cheer as the banner is revealed, erupting into chants to "Free Palestine."
Breaking: Florida cops are using tear gas and rubber bullets on students at the University of South Florida.

Querido Pepe hemos recibido la noticia triste de su situación de salud. Deseamos su pronta recuperación y mejoría. Todo el amor y gratitud para usted, Lucía y toda su familia. Gracias por inspirarnos siempre a soñar en un mundo y una América mejor y más unida.

drawing in my sketchbook. Hind Rajab was a 5 year old girl in Gaza who was killed while she hid alone in a car, along with the paramedics who tried to rescue her. Yesterday students at Columbia seized the administration building and renamed it in her honor.
One of these students is our child. I did not send them there for the university’s administration to brutalize them and arrest them for expressing meaningful solidarity with the Palestinian people. This is some McCarthyism 💩.

As these divestment protests on FL campuses grow in earnest, it might be helpful to understand the history of similar protests that took place across FL related to the anti-apartheid movement. While not a perfect parallel, similarities remain #FloridaHistory #DivestmentHistory 🧵
NOW: At least a thousand students at Columbia University are currently encircling the entire interior of campus in attempt to protect the ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment,’ which was ordered to disperse by 2 PM
NOW: Columbia University faculty link arms and form a wall in front of the entrance to the ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment’ as hundreds of students encircle the both lawns Students remaining in the encampment were told they could face disciplinary action after 2PM
Amazing news from University Of York. Big UK win! Demanding BDS works. Well done everyone involved🇵🇸
4 State Department bureaus put into question Israel’s assurances that it was using US weapons in compliance w US & Intl law. This should have been enough to review or suspend arms transfers. The State Dept is ignoring its own experts & law jpost.com/israel-hamas-w… #Gaza #NSM20
Kent State invests in cluster munitions?! Students here are of course asking for repression against student protests to end, but also joining them, and asking our uni to divest from weapons manufacturing. Their full statement is here: tinyurl.com/M4KentState
El @igacColombia acaba de publicar la actualización del Indice de Gini de Tierras Rurales en Colombia (2023). Tenemos un Gini de 0.87 dentro de la frontera agrícola y en algunos Deptos supera el 0.9. ¡El 10% de los grandes propietarios concentra el 80% de la tierra en Colombia!
I was a freshman in high school on May 4, 1970. It is dismaying to see again armed soldiers being ordered to stand against peaceful student protesters. Then it was Nixon. Now it’s presidents whose job it is to promote learning in service of understanding. Disgraceful. #KentState

Columbia still has its official website up lionizing the protesters of 1968 who occupied university buildings to protest the Vietnam War until the NYPD, in Columbia's own words, "stormed" campus, creating a "fallout that dogged Columbia for years." news.columbia.edu/content/new-pe…
BREAKING: Student protesters occupying Hamilton Hall will face expulsion, University spokesperson Ben Chang wrote in a Tuesday press release. l8r.it/bqBu
NYPD is shutting down everything! Even the area where we were “allowed” to stand on is now being shut down and closed off. Officers are seriously trying to prevent people from witnessing the violent cop response they’ll do towards peaceful student protesters in Columbia.
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
A CNN crew witnessed at least two professors detained by Atlanta police, including @EmoryUniversity economics professor Caroline Fohlin and Noëlle McAfee, chair of the philosophy department. #FreePalestine cnn.com/business/live-…
Sniper on the roof of the IMU. Absolutely unhinged response to a nonviolent encampment by a murderous and paranoid police state.
It is being reported that a sniper has been stationed on the roof of the Indiana Memorial Union, overlooking a student encampment against the Gaza genocide at Indiana University Bloomington.

As NYPD clamps down on university encampments the IOF are bombing tents in Rafah.
The livestream from @WKCRFM is absolutely terrifying right now. Columbia admin should be ASHAMED.
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.
BREAKING: Dozens of protesters occupied Hamilton Hall in the early hours of Tuesday morning, moving metal gates to barricade the doors, blocking entrances with wooden tables and chairs, and zip-tying doors shut. columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/3…
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
What's unusual is: * state troopers kneeling on protester's heads * snipers on rooftops overlooking student commons * campus police tackling professors seeking to deescalate violent arrests * cameramen being arrested for livestreaming the crackdowns rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
not to detract from how significant this at all but in this context it is especially important to include that hawai’i is a sovereign nation that was overthrown in an illegal coup and has remained under illegal military occupation by the US government for over 130 years
It’s official. Hawai‘i is the first state to call for an immediate, permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
🔥from Robin D.G. Kelley in this Open Letter to Columbia University President Shafik: "You are keeping no one safe, except for your donors, trustees, and the university’s endowment." bostonreview.net/articles/lette…
I've covered campus activism since the late 90s. Nothing that's happening on campuses now -- sit ins, building takeovers, encampments -- is at all outside the standard vernacular of student protest. What's unusual is administrators calling in riot cops on their own students
this is the same town my great grandparents were living in when they were made stateless and later sent to a concentration camp
Palestinian students at Otto von Guericke University in Magdeburg, Germany received an email from the school that they’ve been recategorized as “stateless” due to governmental “changes in the statistical requirements.” Germany no longer recognizes Palestinian as a nationality.
columbia university admin threatened immediate expulsion for students occupying hind hall but couldn’t expel the students who attacked us with chemical weapons, despite hospitalizing 15 people.

conversations with comrades in gaza have recently been all about water—both re: public health and how hot and thirsty they are all the time. a few worked on chronic kidney disease together & worry about the coming months, deeply concerned what prolonged heat / dehydration will do
Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. On the Underground Railroad, this city was known as Station Hope, the last stop for enslaved people who had fled the American South en route to Canada. These students are the bearers of that tradition and so much more.
