YES. THIS.
Teargaslighted, you might say.
Students at UChicago encampment gather in silence around a speaker for radio broadcast of WKCR 89.9, Columbia’s student station. Student press are producing incredible coverage as swarms of NYPD riot cops pepper spray, beat and arrest their classmates for protesting genocide
Huge props to @WKCRFM journalists tonight. “We weren’t on music for long, which is exactly what I expected…”
This image will be in the history books and the people who authorized or cheered it on are going to look like shit.
a WKCR reporter begins to cry on air after hearing the news that NYPD will have a permanent presence on columbia’s campus through the end of the school year, occupying the campus until 2 days after commencement
Every time a US politician tries to lecture Russia, China, Iran or some US-allied autocrat on “human rights,” they can laugh and point to these images of how American police deal with student protesters

When the siege tower comes out that's how you know a peaceful learning environment is being restored
Massive brutal police repression of students. Called in by administrators. With the Biden Administration’s vocal support. All to protect a genocide. During an election year. Morally revolting and politically suicidal.
Israel is intensely bombing 1.7 million Palestinians in Rafah. They are now being bombed with nowhere else to go. This is not war, this is genocide.
Shafik resign. Adams resign. Biden resign.
A university deploying a militarized police force to suppress protests organized by their own students, a decision fully endorsed by the leader of the Democratic Party, is the most powerful indictment of what this party now represents.
cops are using this ladder vehicle to enter the 3rd floor windows of hind hall while breaking down the barricades in front with sledgehammers hard to hear the student reporter over the noise but they twice said police were “throwing” students

the university that administers the Pulitzer Prizes is trying to make sure there is nobody on-site to document what is about to happen
BREAKING: NYPD approaching Columbia University in what looks like commando tank and hundreds of officers. Reports state Columbia has asked NYPD to remove protesters/encampments. @JonFarinaPhoto on scene
if you don’t allow legal observers you are absolutely planning on doing something you shouldn’t. period.
tune into WKCR at 89.9 FM the web stream is overloaded
We helped kill a five-day-old child. And yet our media and political elites just don’t care. Imagine being ok with this? Imagine being indifferent to this? Imagine being in *support* of this?

#CityCollege, CUNY is mere blocks away from where the Columbia campus extends in Harlem. These students are even more at risk. I hope the media coverage + advocacy for our state school students will be equally as strong in so-called “solidarity” as the #NYPD sieges campus 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.
Columbia's student radio journalists are doing a really impressive and admirable job with live reporting on the ground right now, listen to the stream here: cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/ or on instagram @\wkcr_oncampus
The entire world should be shocked by the level of violence that a Democratic Mayor, Governor, and President are willing to use to stop students from criticizing America’s support for Israel.

Richly deserved!

It is really hard to comprehend that the same university that gave me a master’s degree in international affairs with a concentration in *human rights and conflict resolution* has called in the NYPD to arrest its students and occupy its campus. This is so shocking and sad.
Every union member in the country should take a long, hard look at how the state is treating a bunch of rich college kids hanging out in tents on a college quad because all that shit is coming to a picket line near you very, very soon.
CNN's @miguelmarquez: "I've covered lots of this sort of stuff around the world, and i've never seen this many police moving into one area."
It’s true. Really excellent radio.
unbelievably, these WKCR reporters are still so calm and polite they keep apologizing for interrupting each other 💙 i love them so much i can’t believe their grace right now
VCU failed. Full stop. Finals don’t matter more than student safety. We all saw students watching police tear gas protestors from library windows. Finals should be canceled. The university should be issuing an apology, dismantling its police force, and whole cloth firing admin.
I was a third-year college student before this genocide started, but I'll never be able to finish my studies because Israeli occupation forces bombed my university and every other university in Gaza. Thanks to the brave college students who are protesting and advocating for us,…
Suddenly all of the conservatives screaming about free speech on college campuses are nowhere to be found.
Yeah, the NYPD deployed a Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle to aid in the crack down on peaceful, unarmed student protesters. These are military vehicles designed specifically to withstand improvised explosive device (IED) attacks & ambushes. What a joke.
Columbia University right now
Protests continue outside of City College a mile uptown from Columbia. The gates are locked and protesters have barricaded then against another NYPD incursion onto campus. CUNY has given students until tomorrow morning to leave campus.
Here's a recording of WKCR tonight from around 9:10 to 10:15. Mortifying dropbox.com/scl/fi/t7fmof9…
A bus full of arrested students just pulled away to cheers of solidarity from this crowd. @Columbia has made yet another strategic blunder with this massively disproportionate crackdown on peaceful protesters. As with the first wave of arrests, this will galvanize thousands.
