They’ve been getting more militarized, more emboldened. Look to #CopCity & #MVP .

occasionally you're faced with how deep in the fascist state we already are and it's like oh cool resisting this is actually the only thing that matters

watching this happen in real time and knowing it will go down as a deeply shameful moment in history for both columbia and new york city is just… surreal. my heart is with the students

All this so Israel can keep killing kids

'As a [Jewish] people, we need another kind of exodus... from the ideological shackles of Zionism... a lot of my fellow Jews are stuck in an ideology that is causing us to betray our core values.'

Democratic governor. Democratic mayor. Democratic super majorities in the state senate, state house, and city council.

BREAKING:
NYPD officer at Columbia University texting “thought we fucking shot someone” while on campus outside of Hind Hall. #cu4palestine

I am watching a toddler die on a table in a field hospital in Rafah with half her face blown apart while listening to college students fight tears reporting on a police assault on their campus for protesting that, and I feel like I am losing my fucking mind.

Tonight as NYPD assaults protesters at Columbia & clears out student journalists, I am thinking of this:

Remember this?

Dr. Mahmoud Abu Nujaila wrote this on October 20th, on a whiteboard normally used for planning surgeries, in Gaza. Israel killed him in November 2023.

The police violence inflicted upon my friend Steve Tamari for standing against Netanyahu’s genocide is indicative of the brutality communities face around the world when they dare to demand peace & justice, from St. Louis to Gaza. We need peace, diplomacy and a #CeasefireNow !

Doesn’t seem like a total accident that the NYPD raids on students at Columbia and CCNY are happening at the same time that Rafah is under brutal siege

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

As NYPD clamps down on university encampments the IOF are bombing tents in Rafah.

Instead of all this, Columbia could simply not invest in Lockheed Martin and other companies profiting off occupation and genocide.

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.

Protesters are now blocking buses full or arrestees. NYPD retreating as protesters move forward.

'Police being here doesn't mean we lost...it means we won in the most glorious way possible. This university offered us an empty deal. We did not concede. We did not fall for their bribes'

Columbia University encampment protester speaks on NYPD's invasion on students.

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.

When they show you who they are, believe them.

Today I testified in Congress. I was asked if I thought slavery still exist.

“Yes. It’s not just that it exists in practice, but that, in the 13th Amendment, there is an exception that reads ‘except as punishment for a crime,’ which means, by law, slavery is still allowed.”
