The moment when Donald Trump and Obama strategist David Axelrod used the exact same conspiracy theory to attack the Columbia students protests.

It's hard to keep up with Starmer's U turns. Many of us predicted this one - and were given stick for it - after Mandelson said union reforms "can't betray business" a few weeks ago. So now Labour will betray workers instead.

"Student protesters.. shouting shame, shame, shame at the police"
HAPPENING NOW: Palestine activists have blocked the entrance to the Department of Business and Trade to protest the government’s refusal to suspend the sale of UK arms to Israel
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.
Netanyahu vowed to invade Rafah “with or without” a temporary ceasefire deal, where over 1.5 million Palestinians are displaced. The Biden admin called this deal “extraordinarily generous.” A 40 day ceasefire is just a pause in this genocide. We need a permanent ceasefire now.
"Nothing screams 'covering up war crimes' like insisting that there should absolutely not be an independent investigation." Arwa Mahdawi on the US 'trusting' Israel to investigate mass graves found in Gaza. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

One of the most frustrating nights for press access i’ve experienced as a reporter. At Columbia & CCNY, police barricaded public streets for blocks, obstructing journalists from seeing what was happening even from a distance. A policy of exclusion cheered on by Eric Adams’ staff

Manufacturing consent for repression... As Bush's former press secretary calls protestors "anti-American" and demands their arrest, Obama campaign guru peddles the "outside agitator" conspiracy theory (even though Columbia campus has been closed to non-affiliates for two weeks).

Protesting war is not anti-semitism, it’s a display of our free speech rights. Student protests at @UWMadison are reminiscent of the anti-war protests of the 60s that helped end the Vietnam War. We must protect all students from anti-semitism & Islamophobia. Always.
One university president says he WON'T attempt to clear the pro-Palestinian encampment on his campus, accepting student pledges of non-violence. Michael Roth (Wesleyan University, Conn) favours "deep discussions" so that "we may find ways to learn from this difficult moment."

7K Followers 214 Following Diplomat at Palestine Mission to the United Nations. Views my own. Retweets not necessarily endorsements.I live by Columbia. Tonight I went for a walk & saw 10+ blocks rapidly barricaded, dozens of police vehicles flying by, large groups of NYPD in riot gear gathering. I study protest in E Europe. What I saw tonight was some of the most wildly disproportionate policing I've seen 1/
The whole neighbourhood shut down, barricades & checkpoints everywhere, people blocked from going home. Hundreds of NYPD officers. Paramedics in flak jackets, firefighters in riot gear. A wave of riot police coming at peaceful bystanders, ordering dispersal or risk of arrest 2/
There was minimal protest action tonight other than the student occupation of Hamilton hall. CU asked NYPD to help 'take back' the campus. Armed riot police eventually entered via a second floor window on whatever this giant vehicle is. Others apparently moved in via the doors 3/
Meanwhile students locked down in dorms, others blocked from going home. CU Administration gave 0 info other than an order to stay in place or risk punishment. All for our own 'safety' - ironic given we were blocked from homes by armed police (had to show my lease to get in) 4/
The main danger to our community tonight was the huge armed police presence requested on campus by admin - not protesters. A wholly disproportionate response that provoked disruption, fear & frustration across the whole wider community, not just Columbia. 5/
100s of police deployed to arrest 50+ occupying students. Once again CU Administration escalated the situation & put many in danger. Thankfully it seems there were no injuries - I feared the worst. I don't know where CU goes from here but fear it's a long road to rebuild trust 6/
A huge well done to the amazing student journalists @WKCRFM radio for keeping the community informed amidst the chaos, and sharing info about the protests when there was a clear effort to keep people away from what was happening. 7/
8/ All photos etc here are mine, taken a few blocks from my home. I know a lot of tonight will get lost in a swirl of misinformation - I hope this is at least useful to folks who know/trust me, as a first-hand account of some of what unfolded.
"Student protesters.. shouting shame, shame, shame at the police"
HAPPENING NOW: Palestine activists have blocked the entrance to the Department of Business and Trade to protest the government’s refusal to suspend the sale of UK arms to Israel
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.
Netanyahu vowed to invade Rafah “with or without” a temporary ceasefire deal, where over 1.5 million Palestinians are displaced. The Biden admin called this deal “extraordinarily generous.” A 40 day ceasefire is just a pause in this genocide. We need a permanent ceasefire now.
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.
One of the most frustrating nights for press access i’ve experienced as a reporter. At Columbia & CCNY, police barricaded public streets for blocks, obstructing journalists from seeing what was happening even from a distance. A policy of exclusion cheered on by Eric Adams’ staff
