Funny how CNN is still broadcasting from a cleared Columbia campus while just 15 blocks away, the NYPD is set to start clearing CCNY.

Glad no one was injured. This is not the last that we'll hear from Columbia students protesting the war in Gaza. Their fight will continue just as the university needs to continue to negotiate with them. And CU now has to get a new president to lead its renewal.

Looks like the police is picking up their equipment and wrapping things up? Columbia University residence halls at 114 where there was a huge police presence is looking clear. 116 and Broadway is also looking calm.

1) A lot of people will be dissapointed when they realize is relatively non violent. 2) At the same time, here's to hoping that students at City College do not get the brutality treatment after we just saw how the police handled the 'clearing' of the Columbia campus.

If someone is reporting live from the site of a breaking news event, such as the NYPD raid on Columbia students, and they post a video in which the ground is dry, with no visible rain, when you know that it's raining hard right at the moment in the area... 🙄

The sheer number of NYPD officers at Columbia right now looks frigthening, but, we have to say it, this operation is not looking violent. Footage from inside CU buildings could tell another story, but so far, this is as non violent as one would wish.

We need to create a space in the discourse for people who are against terrorism/hostage taking, against reckless bombing of aid workers, against perpetuating famine, against anti-Semitic protests, against only protesting one side of the conflict, and against militarized police…

The NYPD is monitoring social media irl and quickly addressing the press pool at Columbia University to address disinformation. I've never seen anything like it before. It's also started to rain heavily...

The NYPD says that it has not used tear gas against Columbia students, but that they instead used flash granades or flash-bangs to help clear the area (CNN)

Someone tell @andersoncooper @CNN those images of protesters with flares are not the Columbia gates, those are the CCNY gates at 137 and Convent Avenue

Columbia gave me opportunities for learning, personal and professional development, and even recognition that I wouldn't have received anywhere else 😔 I love CU and stand by it and its students past, present, and future. cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/#

NYPD are pushing student press back from Hamilton Hall, where protesters have formed a human wall in front of the doors. Students are both running away from police in fear or approaching in defiance of the uni’s shelter in place. Huge escalation.
