"Dozens of counter-protestors, many wearing white masks and flags over their shoulders, arrived around 10:45 p.m. and attempted to dismantle the pro-Palestinian encampment that has overtaken Royce Quad since last Thursday. The agitators lobbed fireworks at the encampment and set off what may have been bear or pepper spray.  

Demonstrators on the pro-Palestinian side used umbrellas to shield themselves, and skirmishes broke throughout the night out as counter-protesters attempted to wrestle away wood pallets, plywood and metal fencing from the encampment."

"New York City Mayor Eric Adams said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Wednesday morning that police had to move in to Columbia University’s Hamilton Hall “for the safety of those children.”

He blamed outside agitators for the building takeover and said “There are people who are harmful and they’re trying to radicalize our children and we cannot ignore this.”"

Was very disturbing to see cnn describe the CUNY protest as initially peaceful but taking a violent turn, thus needing violent remediation, when protestors occupied a building (trespassing) and 'chained themselves to the door and locked arms'. Iconic peaceful protest strategies are being so explicitly characterized as violence. It's becoming more and more bare.

i can’t find words for my anger right now so here’s a collection of thoughts that share the sentiment

LESS THAN THREE HOURS AGO: zionists were taunting a comrade at ucla's gaza solidarity encampment with a severe (possibly anaphylactic? with the context clues of "can go into shock" im leaning towards assuming it's anaphylactic) banana allergy by bringing bananas near the camp. i am genuinely of the belief that taunting someone with anaphylaxis like this should be considered attempted murder. this is fucking evil.

thank you to the dishonest failing new york times for constantly erasing us and purposefully obscuring jewish participation in these protests just to make people less sympathetic to the movement opposing an ongoing genocide

btw you can see all the edits nyt makes to their article titles on this twitter account

how crazy is it? cnn is saying columbia is cleared?

everything is shut down near columbia and city college, police buses and cars everywhere and police are barricading the streets near the campuses. a few people were just arrested outside of city college while it seems like some students are still occupying the city college administrative building and still in the encampment. tons of cops near columbia last i heard they arrested everyone occupying the hall and kicked out press, police have barricades set up so no one in the surrounding apartments can get out

We are basically watching as Zionists go from "Israel would stop levelling down entire buildings on top of civilians if Hamas just agrees to a hostage deal!! Why won't Hamas just give us the hostages?!!"

To, well, this

In real fucking time. You couldn't say "we don't give a fuck about the hostages" any louder. And let's not even get started with the Hamas elimination part because you and I both know that is the most deranged goal and that literally no one believes it to be achievable. Absolutely everyone knows it's a ploy to excuse more mass murder with the goal of exterminating Palestinians and you have to be really very fucking stupid to believe otherwise.

Now that broken glass is being used to justify arresting and tear gassing people at student encampments, it's really important that you quickly understand why we need to prioritize human lives over property.

If protesters break windows the worst case scenario for these profitable universities are that they have a higher co-pay on insurance and some short term costs that some zionist's gfm will surely try to raise money for

Worst case scenario for Palestine and protesters is death or worse.

Broken glass or windows can not be a good enough reason to stop supporting them, or to allow police brutality and cruelty. Don't buy into that propaganda as news articles start to portray these protesters like people who Deserve to be abused for their behavior.

They don't. Nobody does. That's the whole point.

Don't fall for their shows. If the police or politicians or the universities across the USA cared about human lives they can divest from Israel like protesters are demanding.

Getting text notifications from my college that cops are about to start gassing and arresting students occupying the campus. After watching a livestream of what's going on I'm even more radicalized for the cause tbh. The person filming found office of public safety (?) admin members on the scene and when asked "is this what you want your campus to look like? Guns pointed at students?" One of these admin members just nodded, didn't even try to hide it. This is all going down in an area that I was literally walking around in earlier today. Insanity.
