Everyone should follow what's happening at Columbia right now. This is the largest protest there since 1968, and the admin just stripped several students of healthcare and housing.

The NYPD arrested over 108 students camping on the South Lawn yesterday. Now, thousands have joined the demonstration. As Israel prepares to commit genocide, Palestinian and Jewish students are taking the lead in protesting institutional complicity around the world.

And what if you could go back in time and take all those hours of pain and darkness and replace them with something better?

[Additional ID: The first tweet includes a photo of a group of tents on a university lawn; a group of cops in uniform stand in the center, one of them holding what looks like a large plastic garbage bag. Second tweet includes a photo of a huge pile of sleeping bags, backpacks, and rain boots in a narrow alleyway. Third image includes a video of a line of buses in the street; students, pressed close together, fill the street and prevent the buses from driving. Fifth tweet includes a video of a Black person speaking into a megaphone in front of a university building amongst a group of protesters; a hijabi with a kuffiya around her shoulders stands at their side, looking at them. People with large cameras, presumably press, are in the foreground. End ID]

From the notes: If you want to support arrested students, Venmo @ bcabolitioncollective !! and follow @ cuapartheiddivest on Instagram!

the stuff going on at columbia campus rn is genuinely incredible

despite mass arrests by NYPD and several students (including rep ilhan omar’s daughter, isra hirsi) being suspended for their participation and having their university identification deactivated, the gaza solidarity encampment is still going strong well into its second day. def recommend following independent reporter talia jane who is taking part and providing live updates. (talia was the first reporter to break aaron bushnell’s self immolation in february; she was one of the reporters he contacted personally prior to the protest.)

thank you so much alexa @shivsblunt for mentioning it…..anyone who wants to contribute to their jail support fund can do so @ bcabolitioncollective on v*nmo. also, if anyone is in the area and available to join (via cssw4palestine on ig):

there is also a petition you can sign to urge the administrations to drop the charges and reverse suspensions!
