"This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” Frederick Douglass ✊🏾@Columbia @IRAASColumbiaU

Columbia's student radio station, @WKCRFM, deserves a broadcast journalism prize for its live coverage of the impending police raid of the campus.

So...back in 1968. We stood as a student body during the speech of (?) at the chapel, left and took over the admin building. I occupied the dean's office (go figure, future) and got to use the electronic ball IBM. As I recall, the sheriff put the padlocks on the outside doors 1/

Here’s my provost being proud that @BU_Tweets has forced a lot of grad student workers who were on strike for living wages & better health ins back to work 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️I mean I guess that’s one way to do it.

does @JCHartzell know that students in my morning class informed me that they also don’t feel comfortable returning to campus ? one said “he’ll call troopers on us for any little thing now, how are we supposed to come back?”

A note from a student (who barely missed class all semester) about this afternoon's last class meeting. But sure, it's the protestors disrupting class. @JCHartzell

The most inactive people got the most active mouths about what organizing students should and should not be doing. Shut your face.

Given my position, as someone who has benefitted tremendously from academic programs created as a result of student movements - up to and including my future employment, it would be hypocritical not to support student activists right now.

US university and college administrations, boards/regents, and powerful donors are proving the point in real time: they are a warfare ensemble--they *are* police power.

One university president said divestment from South Africa (unlike Israel) was easy because they already had lists of companies violating the Sullivan principles. Oh, so unis *just divested* without any pressure or demand? They *just* compared their investments to a list? 😂

God bless America 🇺🇸where students have to fear school shootings AND wonder whether the university president has invited armed gunmen and snipers to detain them on campus or not.

Spread this far & wide: the only outside agitators are the police. There is no violence until cops show up. 55 students, Btown residents, & faculty have been arrested so far. This morning, police showed up with dogs, armored vehicles, & tear gas. #ResistFascism #campusprotests

Be teachable. Be curious. A lot of us that have been in the fight for liberation for awhile are trying to show you how these struggles are connected. How anti-Blackness and police brutality show up in the protest space. How land defenders feel on our own traditional territory. 1/

And this is why, long before this round of protests, I been calling for campus police abolition. Their job is not public safety but power maintenance and brand management...
