This is a pretty noteworthy story in itself.

This is what they wanted to do to the legacy of black liberation. Pacify it beyond recognition and have a mangled version of it spit back to you by someone who looks like you but has more in common with the ruling class.

On April 2nd, 14.8% of NYC Dems voted @leaveitblankny to protest Biden's funding of genocide in Gaza 🇵🇸 Here's the breakdown by congressional & Assembly district. Blank votes did best in NY-07 (31.2%) & AD-53 (39.4%). Precinct-level analysis coming soon docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
The importance of organized labor struggle having a place in media is ever so important. How dare we invite misinformation on the air, and not call them out. What type of journalism is that? They sell these locks on campus!

The tradition of everyone in D.C. dressing up in ballroom clothing and holding a self-celebratory feast while the world they lit on fire burns - it's like something out of a "let them eat cake" story from history, only it's happening today, with no self-conscious shame. Wild.

It’s safe to expect the police do not want this resistance to be going on when May Day hits.
This clip from CBS backs this up completely. She is literally standing next to one of CUAD's student negotiators –– says she'd keep in contact, and when another student asks for a "quick selfie," she tells him out of respect only outside the perimeter.

Ok so we are both mad when AOC doesn’t say or do enough about Gaza and mad when she shows up at an encampment and speaks about the encampments nationally? My dear comrades, it cannot be both.

There’s this weird slippage people do where by “peaceful” they mean “lawful” but then they want to use MLK as an example and seem to forget where “letter from Birmingham Jail” was written from
ok for the last damn time: THE OCCUPATION OF A BUILDING IS A PEACEFUL PROTEST
My statement on voting against H.R. 6090:
Watching the Mayor and NYPD take a victory lap today should concern us all. The events of last night were not inevitable and should not be "celebrated" They were created because the Pres of Columbia escalated a non-violent protest, and the mayor who has yet to say the words…
"From the moment the President of Columbia—30 hours into a nonviolent protest of students on the lawn—called the NYPD in...that sent reverberations throughout the nation...They escalated every single point of the way." The public advocate spoke to media about student arrests.
Jewish Rep. Sara Jacobs said she voted against the bill that would crack down on antisemitism on college campuses because anti-Zionism is not “inherently” antisemitism, and the measure that passed through the House would “stifle” free speech rights. trib.al/FigAQMo
HAPPENING NOW: Thousands of students & workers are standing in solidarity for a free Palestine by taking the streets in NYC on May Day 🇵🇸
embarrassed to work in an industry where we put this much pressure on student journalists because the people leading mainstream coverage can’t distinguish between news and propaganda
Our team of 18 student volunteers is immensely proud to be providing this coverage to the Columbia community, NYC, and the world at large. We are incredibly appreciative of your support and understanding.
The NYPD greatly restricted press access during their sweeps of Columbia and CCNY last night. But police apparently brought their own film crew into Hamilton Hall, where they even filmed on-site interviews with top brass, all overlaid with dramatic music
Let’s take an inside look at how your @NYPDnews officers safely & professionally restored order at @Columbia & @CityCollegeNY yesterday, after school officials requested our assistance in dispersing unlawful encampments on their campuses & persons barricaded inside their…
Biden’s team uses harsher language towards 19-year-old students than they do towards far-right Israeli ministers who all but advocate for the collective punishment of Palestinians in Gaza, a war which has killed over 35,000 civilians.
NEW: White House statement via @AndrewJBates46 on @Columbia U students taking over a building: “President Biden has stood against repugnant, Antisemitic smears and violent rhetoric his entire life. He condemns the use of the term “intifada,” as he has the other tragic and…
SAY. IT. ON. YOUR. SHOW.
I feel like I'm losing my mind a little: people understand that "occupying buildings on campus" is, like, one of the most common forms of studen protest for decades and not some devious new ploy devised by professional anarchist plotters, right?
The House passed legislation that would establish a broader definition of antisemitism for the Department of Education to enforce anti-discrimination laws, the latest response from lawmakers to a nationwide protest movement over the Israel-Hamas war. trib.al/HIIWWmX
@donlemon your intellectual capacity truly is embarassing.
the student uprisings of the 1960s were considerably more violent than anything you are seeing today. it is not close. students at kent state burned the ROTC building to the ground. when black students took over a building at cornell in 1969, they did it **with guns**
i really can't stress how useful it would be for people in political media to occasionally, from time to time, read a book
“Peaceful non violence” was the predicate of the Civil Rights Movement. Taking over a building and destroying property feels January 6th ish to me. 🤷🏽♂️
On April 2nd, 14.8% of NYC Dems voted @leaveitblankny to protest Biden's funding of genocide in Gaza 🇵🇸 Here's the breakdown by congressional & Assembly district. Blank votes did best in NY-07 (31.2%) & AD-53 (39.4%). Precinct-level analysis coming soon docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
(i’m voting for biden in the general so no need to yell at me but) as someone who has organized professionally and/or in a volunteer capacity for 15~ years, i recommend everyone worried about the election start canvassing/phone banking instead of yelling at people on twitter
I feel like I'm losing my mind a little: people understand that "occupying buildings on campus" is, like, one of the most common forms of studen protest for decades and not some devious new ploy devised by professional anarchist plotters, right?
If white students had protested universities profiting off slavery, would that have been justified? Or is protest only ok if done in self-interest? Surely that’s not the lesson here—nor that their civil rights should be abused by violent arrest—something your words help excuse.
