This really could not be more simple. Forcibly occupying private space is illiberal coercion, not protest. Imagine dozens or hundreds of people sitting in a business — a department or drug store, perhaps — and refusing to leave unless their demands were met. Not to be tolerated.
One difference between this building at Columbia and the US Capitol is that the Capitol happens to be the seat of Congress, the national legislature of the United States, which was, at the time, certifying the results of an election those who stormed the Capitol wanted to void.

I want to repeat. The gatherings outside Columbia I’ve been at all afternoon have been peaceful. There is no reason to send in this much force
This is the logical conclusion of 120 years of police militarization. This is always what it was for.

I hope one of the lessons everyone’s taking away from watching how these police officers handle student protests is that police brutality isn’t just the murders you see, but the routine daily violence police use on civilians to do something as simple as conduct arrests.
Ah so folks do understand how collective punishment works and why it is bad!
A proposal to give the Oklahoma governor free rein over nominating justices failed in the legislature, as some Republicans sided with Dems: oklahomawatch.org/2024/04/16/how…
Cops are ridiculous. They'll go so hard at nonviolent protesters and let freaks shoot up a school or invade the US Capitol.

If taxpayers are going to pay to build a stadium, then the taxpayers should own the stadium. You can’t socialize the cost, then privatize the profits.

Columbia isn’t public property. The President could have permitted the encampments just like Wesleyan’s President did. It was a choice to call one of the most hyper militarized police departments in the world and let them loose on students they knew were unarmed and harmless.
Since everyone is so obsessed with ending them right now, boy have I got an occupation to tell you about
The check cleared

Hamas needs to understand that a ceasefire that includes a ceasefire is unacceptable and will only prolong the war
BREAKING: Netanyahu told Blinken during their meeting today he won't accept a deal that will include ending the war. He said if Hamas doesn't drop this demand there will be no deal and Israel will invade Rafah, per Israeli and U.S. officials

@atrupar nihilism is watching a genocide unfold in 4k and convincing yourself there’s nothing to be done about it.
the real nihilists are the leftists who actually advocate for some kind of social change, whereas i, a wise pundit whose reporting consists of tweeting clips, am the true utopian
This really could not be more simple. Forcibly occupying private space is illiberal coercion, not protest. Imagine dozens or hundreds of people sitting in a business — a department or drug store, perhaps — and refusing to leave unless their demands were met. Not to be tolerated.
the false “scared” narrative cannot hold because the pro-genocide side actually cannot help perpetuating violence on others, both directly and through proxies like the police. it’s baked into their politics!
Pro-Israel counterprotestors started tearing down @UCLA encampment barriers and screamed "Second nakba!" referring to the mass displacement & dispossession of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. Per @latimes @safinazzal on the scene with another video:

Face it. We’re on the front edge of an anti-America uprising. It’s on college campuses. It’s disrupters blocking the Golden Gate Bridge, roadways to airports, and busy intersections in our cities. Wake up America. These radicals are just getting started. Arrest, imprison,…
This is what happens when you sit on a lawn to protest a foreign government carrying out a genocide with full US support.
A line of NYPD police officer is waiting to enter the second floor of Columbia University's occupied Hamilton Hall.
Once the ACLU stopped defending Nazis in court, the right needed a group to fill the void of (nominally) non-conservatives willing to defend Nazis. FIRE stepped up. Their whole reason for prominence is defending Nazis. Here, read their response to Unite the Right.
Just a few days ago, Columbia admin said it wouldn’t send in the NYPD. And then tonight happened.
Columbia's web page discussing its regret for calling in police to arrest students in 1968 is displaying a warning about limited access due to NYPD on campus arresting students. May Columbia never live this down.
One difference between this building at Columbia and the US Capitol is that the Capitol happens to be the seat of Congress, the national legislature of the United States, which was, at the time, certifying the results of an election those who stormed the Capitol wanted to void.
You can’t denounce the J6 rioters and then say the Columbia students who occupied a building by force and destroyed property should be immune from consequences. This is the real world.
don't fall for these shifting goalposts. as soon as arrest records confirm that most arrestees are students, the discourse will shift to why those students deserved to be arrested
It will be interesting to learn how many of those arrested in Hamilton Hall at Columbia are actually students.
This country has more force for student protesters than they did for Jan. 6 or white supremacists marching through campuses with Tiki torches.
