Former Trump economic adviser and current Fox Business host Larry Kudlow goes off the deep end: Biden is “taxing white people because they own more assets than people of color … racial warfare against white folks and especially successful white folks.” mediamatters.org/larry-kudlow/f…
@nrookie @njlightfoot Yes, apparently the police will occupy the campus until May 17. I don’t see how trust can ever be restored.
This will NEVER be forgotten. If Im still around in 30 years I will take my retired self over to these “celebrations” and let everyone gathered know that the university devoured its own last night and that the only appropriate commemoration is mourning

I am begging people to read a book and stop getting their civil rights history from Black History Month documentaries on the Disney Channel.
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

One of the most enraging and accurate scenes from tonight outside the CCNY encampment — a protestor pleads with NYPD in riot gear to back off and reminds them they’re here to divest from a genocide.
In response to being called out as verifiably wrong about something that took place decades ago, I recently heard a historian publicly say, “you weren’t there and neither was I!” I honestly don’t quite know what to do with that.
WKCR reports that Corrections buses are heading to campus and university EMS has sent a message to those on campus to shelter in place or risk arrest.

#BREAKING HEAVY POLICE PRESENCE with cops with bats and helmets outside of Columbia University. Streets around it are now FROZEN ZONES. Speculation that raid is imminent.
NOW: The situation at CCNY has rapidly spiraled out of control Protesters tried to break through the barricades which led to absolute chaos breaking out People thrown to the ground and journalists (including me) were hit and shoved by officers in the melee
Around #UTAustin today
Much respect to @ruha9 and others taking personal risks to protect students and, moreover, to end the genocide in Gaza and US support for apartheid Israel. The strength of this movement inheres in its leaderless character defined by mutuality together with careful organization.

BREAKING: Princeton professor Max Weiss announces that professor Ruha Benjamin and 14 students have occupied Clio Hall.
@Very__Regular "We Must Raise the Voting Age to 30" "Loving Genocide is a Stage of Life Every Child Must Grow To" "Protesting is The New Avocado Toast"
Wow! Hamline University in MN may be the first University to grant amnesty to the student encampment for Gaza and even granted the students a meeting with the president of the University and the chair of the board of trustees to hear their demands for the school's divestment.

@nrookie @njlightfoot Yes, apparently the police will occupy the campus until May 17. I don’t see how trust can ever be restored.
