Here is today's statement unanimously endorsed by the Labor and Working-Class History Association (@lawcha_org) board, of which I'm a part, condemning the use of police to violently break up peaceful protest on U.S. campuses. Feel free to share widely.
The protesters at #ColumbiaUniversity govern themselves according to a principled set of community guidelines—they are far from the violent mob that the GOP and others make them out to be. This is the list of rules posted at the encampment.
my mom, a retired veteran, asked to come with me to the UConn encampment last night. it was her first visit to UConn. she was impressed by the passionate speeches from students who had lost loved ones in Gaza and by the hospitality and creativity of the young people we spoke with
This is why filming the police is so important. They would’ve lied so much if no one caught this on camera. You can also see their knees on the detained protestor’s head and back, potentially blocking airflow needed to breathe.

@nyuniversity did not have to do what it did last night. Statement from @aaup_nyu.
Statement of Columbia and Barnard faculty members: "We condemn... the Administration’s suspension of students engaged in peaceful protest & their arrest by the NYPD....We demand that all Barnard College and Columbia University suspensions & charges be dismissed immediately."
.@Columbia president Shafik justified the arrest of 108 student protestors because their presence was supposedly a posed "clear and present danger." The NYPD offered a different view. Damning.
Columbia Professor Rebecca Jordan-Young: "The faculty who are supporting the students do not all agree on the issue of Israel and Palestine...[but] we are astonished and disgusted with the way the university has cracked down on the students."
@LoganAHeiman There is nothing defensible in assigning armed police the authority to interact w/students. Their safety&security is a moral and professional obligation. Scholars on your campus cld advise you on the histories of this knee jerk response to protest. #smh @Columbia
@ARoseCasey @hthompsn 1a rights restrict government interference or abridgement. “Congress shall make no law….” This does not extend to a private entity. The premise for 1a protection fails. The challenge better lies w/in a marketplace of free ideas frame (until the expression of those ideas incite).
Columbia suspended students who were peacefully protesting, per their 1A rights, so that said students could be arrested by NYPD for trespassing.

There was absolutely zero reason or justification for calling the NYPD on students, something the NYPD itself readily admitted. This actually has nothing to do with whether you are “pro-Palestine” or “pro-Israel.” You don’t ask the cops to round up and arrest peaceful students.

On May 4, 1970, national guardsmen opened fire on unarmed students at Kent State protesting the U.S. invasion of Cambodia, killing 4 and wounding 9 On May 6, the governor of Kentucky declared martial law on the campus of University of KY, tear-gassing and arresting students

Seems to me that if you upped corporate taxes and gave people the resources they need, this might not be such a big issue.

The Biden admin just used a 16 year old arms transfer approval to quietly send Israel more weapons & bombs to slaughter Palestinians. Reporting that pushes ‘Biden admin is upset about how many Palestinians have been killed’ is PR for an admin that wants more dead Palestinians.

Slightly annoyed by some U.S. folks claiming campus protests have 'spread' to Europe. I have total respect for what's happening on U.S. campuses but as a scholar of transnat'l social movements, I think it's impt to clarify that protests have been ongoing on UK & EU campuses.
@nyuniversity did not have to do what it did last night. Statement from @aaup_nyu.
@ARoseCasey @hthompsn You're very kind. And not wrong re setting up the issues-1a is in the room. But how will those of us who see the horror of a college president calling armed police to arrest *her own students* make her leadership failure the issue? I want students correctly informed and safe.
@LoganAHeiman There is nothing defensible in assigning armed police the authority to interact w/students. Their safety&security is a moral and professional obligation. Scholars on your campus cld advise you on the histories of this knee jerk response to protest. #smh @Columbia

Columbia suspended students who were peacefully protesting, per their 1A rights, so that said students could be arrested by NYPD for trespassing.
Columbia Professor Rebecca Jordan-Young: "The faculty who are supporting the students do not all agree on the issue of Israel and Palestine...[but] we are astonished and disgusted with the way the university has cracked down on the students."
There was absolutely zero reason or justification for calling the NYPD on students, something the NYPD itself readily admitted. This actually has nothing to do with whether you are “pro-Palestine” or “pro-Israel.” You don’t ask the cops to round up and arrest peaceful students.
the thing i am not getting in all the Columbia coverage is why the administration called NYPD. it sounds like the protesters just had a big camp in the middle of the quad. i understand that was against the rules, but what college calls the cops over that?
On May 4, 1970, national guardsmen opened fire on unarmed students at Kent State protesting the U.S. invasion of Cambodia, killing 4 and wounding 9 On May 6, the governor of Kentucky declared martial law on the campus of University of KY, tear-gassing and arresting students
Shai Davidai is demanding THE NATIONAL GUARD come in to violently disperse the Gaza Solidarity Encampment. How the fuck does this guy still have a job?

At no point did the sit in at @Columbia "endanger" students on campus. The protestors confined themselves to a small portion of the lawn, did not block access, did not disrupt classes. There was no need for mass arrests of students. columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/1…
.@USC claims their decision to cave in to anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian hate by cancelling Asna Tabassum's valedictorian speech is not about free speech but about safety. Here's why that claim is disingenuous at best, or a flimsy lie. #LetAsnaSpeak #AsnaTabassum|🧵A Thread
