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
It’s wild that this is the main narrative we would have without WKCR, whose broadcast is buckling under the flood of listeners

You don't get to say 'we regret that the protesters escalated' and 'community safety is our top priority' when the protesters are students who haven't hurt anybody and your response was calling in, like, a hundred unaccountable guys with guns
Ya girl was in the studio today droppin bars* and recording the audiobook for The Originalism Trap! Preorder now so you can read or hear me read to you penguinrandomhouse.com/books/735353/t… *by 'bars' I mean devastatingly incisive legal analysis with my trademark blend of scholarship & sass
Lmaaoo my older sister told my lil nephew that The Boy (The Fiancé!) and I are engaged and his response was "Finally! When's the wedding? Did I miss it???" In nephew's defense, he has literally waited his whole life for this. And he doesn't fully understand engagements yet lol

What is the United States Constitution? From what I've been able to gather from my shelves, it is invisible, living, unwritten, (un)written, interpretable, intelligible, dynamic, anti-oligarchy, civic, republican, lost, and good.

Can the sitting president order the assassination of a political rival? @jaywillis joined me to talk about Trump's immunity case in the Supreme Court. insurgentspod.com/p/ep-272-total…
The Supreme Court heard Trump's claims of ~absolute immunity~ today & was too into the idea that it should remand for lower courts to sort out what gets immunity/what doesnt This could further delay prosecution and push accountability farther out of reach ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics/t…

Important to keep the Court's own lawlessness in mind even as "yes it's fine for a president to do a coup" will steal all the headlines

We are seeing greater state violence enacted at college protests than Nazi marches. Don’t you dare fucking tell me any of this is about Jewish safety or antisemitism. And every pro Palestine college protest includes a significant number of Jewish students

These people spent years telling us that trigger warnings and campus speaker cancellations were signs of creeping authoritarianism and now they are defending police crackdowns on students protesting mass murder. Wish I could say I was surprised.
Nice to see the free speech warriors take a brave stance against "maximalist rhetoric" theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Should I do it
100%.
You don't get to say 'we regret that the protesters escalated' and 'community safety is our top priority' when the protesters are students who haven't hurt anybody and your response was calling in, like, a hundred unaccountable guys with guns
All these grown ass men with full body armor, weapons and military vehicles against kids with signs and a real cause. Every last one of those NYPD entering campus is an embarrassment to the city and the country. Weak, stupid, followers who deserve neither a salary nor any…
there is zero explanation or excuse good enough to make sense of the militarized and extremely violent response to the campus protests taking place at columbia, ut, emerson, or anywhere else. you can support whoever you want without trying to reason away police violence.
and attempting to support whichever candidate by speaking so condescendingly towards the wildly brave students and faculty who have been demonstrating (PEACEFULLY, because i know how much y’all “love” PEACEFUL protests) with a flimsy grasp on history… the height of offensive.
Just heard a commentator on CNN say that having the police on campus helps deescalate. Employing the violence of the state is the ultimate escalation.
Today, as one NYC union friend locked arms outside Hind Hall at Columbia, another was defending the camp at CUNY. As cops descended on both, they parted in the group chat with "see u at the precinct :)" The militant, anti-imperialist labor movement is in bloom🥹#FreePalestine
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
TO BE CLEAR, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY HAS CALLED THE COPS ONTO ITS OWN STUDENTS FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO WEEKS, ON THE 56TH ANNIVERSARY OF WHEN THEY LAST CALLED THE POLICE ONTO CAMPUS TO ARREST OVER 700 PROTESTING THE VIETNAM WAR & HARLEM GENTRIFICATION ON APRIL 30TH, 1968
It’s wild that this is the main narrative we would have without WKCR, whose broadcast is buckling under the flood of listeners
On CNN @andersoncooper won’t stop implying that the students occupying the hall aren’t students. He’s not disclosing and explaining what this is based on.
Really wanna shout out the incredible work being done by the Columbia students reporting on @WKCRFM right now. You can listen to 89.9 on Apple Music
nypd is going to *at best* assault a bunch of college students to defend the right of a foreign country to slaughter civilians without being scrutinized. how can anyone stomach this? will people finally wake up en masse?
WKCR reports Columbia President email announces NYPD will remain on campus til May 17 — until after graduation — first thing tonight that seems to choke up some of the on-air student reporters
I am amazed and awed by the courage and tenacity of these student protesters. Risking expulsion, arrest, the possibility of serious physical harm, all without wavering--at 18-22 years old. Their courage is an inspiration.
I just got the biggest news of my entire writing career while at the UChicago Gaza Solidarity Encampment. I was freakin nominated for a JAMES BEARD??? Check out the essay I wrote for @sweetjulymag! Still processing how amazing this news is lol. stories.sweetjuly.com/editorial/to-f…
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but republicans are lying when they claim to care about antisemitism — because, of course they still fully back the “very fine people on both sides” candidate.
@AudreLawdAMercy Wait! Very slick way to make an announcement! Congratulations
