i’m sorry but this is the funniest subway ad i’ve seen in eons

Student reporters with WKCR are reporting that students are throwing paper airplanes down at NYPD from the dorms. In response, cops reportedly began flashing their flashlights up at the students in an attempt to dissuade them. It is unclear if anything is written on the papers as students are still being threatened with arrest if they go outside.

A K-9 unit is reportedly on the lawn and going through the tents in the encampment.

JUST NOW: wkcr reports bystanders are trying to seek refuge in campus buildings at columbia, and they are being denied access if they dont live in the buildings they are attempting to access. i repeat, students are being denied access to buildings just because they dont live in them, while a shelter in place is in effect.

why u leave me

this is in New York City, two hours ago at Broadway and 113th street. this is the response from the NYPD for college students. this is full blown fascism on display. this type of mobilization for a non-violent peaceful protest is absolutely absurd. isn't this the fascist dystopia that we are being warned about by liberals of sliding into on a daily basis?? or does this somehow not count??????

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.

Early this morning, around 1:20 AM EDT, an autonomous group of students liberated a building on the Columbia campus, renaming it "Hind's Hall" in honor of the six year old girl in Gaza who was trapped in a car with her family and martyred while awaiting help from paramedics. Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) released a press statement shortly after:

After 206 days of genocide and over 34,000 Palestinian martyrs, Columbia community members took back Hamilton Hall just after midnight. An autonomous group reclaimed Hind's Hall, previously known as "Hamilton Hall," in honor of Hind Rajab, a Gazan martyr murdered at the hands of the genocidal Israeli state at the age of six years old. This escalation represents the next generation of the 1968, 1985, and 1992 student movements which Columbia once repressed yet celebrates today. Protestors have voiced their intention to remain at Hind's Hall until Columbia concedes to CUAD's three demands: divestment, financial transparency, and amnesty.

Resistance is justified in the movement for liberation. Liberators acting in solidarity with Palestine continue to hold themselves to a higher standard than Columbia. This university repeatedly endangers its students by instituting a police state with military-style checkpoints, repressing and isolating students on campus, calling armed riot cops for the largest mass arrests on campus since1968, and weaponizing food insecurity and houselessness as leverage in negotiations. Columbia has forced protestors to escalate by contributing to a genocide while refusing to follow baseline standards of conduct that make negotiation possible.

As this group continues to hold down Hind's Hall, we reiterate that CUAD's encampment is a peaceful form of protest as demonstrated over the last 12 days. Students and community members are risking suspension and arrest to end the true state of emergency on campus, Columbia's complicity in the genocide in Gaza. Taking back our own campus is the only and last response to an institution that obeys neither its own "rules" nor ethical mandates, which is why we began the Gaza Solidarity Encampment. We call on the press and members of the public to hold Columbia accountable for any disproportionate response to students' actions today. To Columbia's administrators and trustees: do not incite another Kent or Jackson State by bringing soldiers and police officers with weapons onto our campus. Students' blood will be on your hands.

We are grateful for the brave students and community members who put themselves in harm's way to protest Columbia's complicity. Taking over a building is a small risk compared to the daily resistance of Palestinians in Gaza. As we inch toward Israel's planned invasion of Rafah, which now houses over 1.5 million displaced Palestinians, it is more urgent than ever to fight Columbia's contributions to the ongoing murder, maiming, and forced starvation of millions of Palestinians. We cannot sit by as our tuition and labor support mass murder.

For the last two weeks students have put their safety, homes, education, and careers in jeopardy,knowing no universities remain in Gaza due to US-funded bombs. As members of the imperial core.the least we can do is pressure this university to divest. Open the gates, end the occupation, and welcome the free movement of all people, from Palestinians to our neighbors in Harlem; from the river to the sea. We cannot act for our Palestinian comrades, but we see them; we are with them. We are honored to join the mass movement of students, workers, and comrades across the world in the fight for Palestinian liberation.
