I was at City College Tuesday night, reporting for the @nytimes Two sets of protesters were arrested that night. The first set was a crowd outside City College’s locked gates. NYPD arrested this group on two separate occasions that evening at different locations. timeline/🧵

The "Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023" that most House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting for would decrease awareness of antisemitism by applying the term to non-antisemitic criticism of Israel. A big problem for those of us who oppose actual antisemitism!
These students are represented by a Democratic mayor, two Democratic senators, a Democratic governor, and a Democratic president.

It is interesting, to put it politely, that Tiananmen remains the American reference point for state violence against political movements instead of, I don't know, Kent State, Wounded Knee, the MOVE bombing, LA '92, Ferguson, Standing Rock, NoDAPL, Stop Cop City, etc etc etc
Wild he's tweeting this sort of language at elected officials from an official NYPD account. These dudes really DGAF.
The mayor of NYC sent hundreds of NYPD officers to Columbia University to break up a student protest against the war in Gaza. Then he smeared my 63-year-old mother, who lost dozens of family members in Gaza, to justify it. apnews.com/article/columb…

Increasingly worried about the future of Holocaust education. How many young will see the Shoah's invocation in the recent weeks and conclude that its legacy is only for repression?

Worth noting that the NYPD has yet to release any information or data on the so-called "outside agitators" or which of those arrested aren't students, but have edited this short film from the protests

Faculty rally at 116 and Amsterdam at the gates of Columbia U rn, which is locked down today. “Wait until the numbers come put from One Police Plaza,” said Rashid Khalidi, a Columbia professor, calling the claims of outside agitators “lies”. “They were all students.”

When you’re trying to stop antisemitism and end up banning the Chair of Jewish Studies from your Ivy League campus for protecting her students.
Annelise Orleck has been banned from Dartmouth campus for six months for trying to protect her students from riot police.

NYPD grouped together everyone they arrested that night.
🚨 MOVE ALONG 🚨 ⚠️ NOTHING TO SEE HERE ⚠️
let us all bow our heads in prayer for our fallen damaged door
Columbia University President Minouche Shafik walks past a damaged door while visiting Hamilton Hall on campus. Police arrested nearly 100 people after demonstrators occupied the building overnight on Monday. In a statement today, Shafik writes, "I know I speak for many members…
Shameful speech by the President as campuses have unleashed police on students—he blames protesters as the problem & ignores the violence they've faced. If dissent was crucial to our democracy, you would spend more time listening to their demands than lying about their tactics.
Biden is now giving a completely one-sided, dishonest speech about these campus protests. “Dissent must never lead to disorder.”
I appreciate that people do mental gymnastics to defend this man and his stupidity and then he gets on camera and shows himself as repulsive and weak as he’s accused of being.
“Violent protest is not protected; peaceful protest is. ... Vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, shutting down campuses, forcing the cancellation of classes ... none of this is peaceful protest.” — President Biden condemns many campus demonstrations.
The Mayor, NYPD and much of the corporate media are desperately trying to manufacture reasons that this isn’t exactly what it looks like: young people protesting an immoral war.
This sort of coverage versus the coverage of the actual violence against pro-Palestinian protestors at UCLA confirms why so many of us call out the false god of objectivity in journalism. It has never existed. Choices about framing, emphasis, legitimacy are made every single day…
Today: Destruction, violence and hate overtake college campuses across the country with Jewish students feeling unsafe at their own schools. It is unacceptable, and harkening back to the 1930s in Europe. Our @InsidePolitics show open, here.
"I don't know if it was my police gut feeling" @NYCMayor says on Fox 5 of the Columbia protests being "different" "It was materialized that there were outside agitators," he continues, but neither he nor the NYPD have been able to provide details. "We have identified some"
Beware of smarmy careerism masquerading as insight.
Beware of nihilism masquerading as leftism. There's a lot of that going around right now.
Don's tweet is the result of the decades long (often bi-partisan) project of pacifying the real history of the Civil Rights Movement. Peaceful nonviolence included disruption and those claiming otherwise don't know enough history to be taken seriously.
“Peaceful non violence” was the predicate of the Civil Rights Movement. Taking over a building and destroying property feels January 6th ish to me. 🤷🏽♂️
This is an exceedingly common bicycle lock. It’s a type Columbia public safety has promoted to its students. How did this claim get all the way onto tv?
Deputy Commissioner Tarik Sheppard shows the chains used to secure Hamilton Hall at Columbia University. "This is not what students bring to school. This is what professionals bring to campuses and universities."
[this user’s boss is representative jared moskowitz, one of the lead signatories on a letter demanding Columbia university ruthlessly disband the encampment, saying “The time for negotiation is over; the time for action is now”]
WHAT DOES JOE BIDEN HAVE TO DO WITH NYPD???
we spent eight years hyperventilating about disinformation and masses turning away from reputable, established news sources

Referring to protests as antisemitic in the same sentence that you link them to the Soros dogwhistle is the kind of mental gymnastics that should win an Olympic medal
The antisemitic protests at Universities are funded by George Soros and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. These groups are responsible for Jewish students being terrified to go to campus because their lives are being threatened. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fol…
I am begging people to read a book and stop getting their civil rights history from Black History Month documentaries on the Disney Channel.
Oh no! They’ve got this all wrong.
