A student was just wheeled out of Butler library at and taken to the hospital here at #Columbia #ColumbiaUniversityProtest #Columbia_University

[C. Bissonnette @Car_Bissonnette]

A group of more than 100 student activists have taken over the reading room in Columbia’s Butler Library. Campus security has locked down the building, shutting protesters inside and locking others out. Students have been inside the library since around 4 PM. NYPD has been called

This is downright the most insane diplomatic exchange I’ve ever seen on live TV

Most of my Indian friends speak two or more South Asian languages. But I speak just one: Hindi. This is, at least in part, because during the Partition of India, my family fled the state in which my ancestral language and culture thrives. I dug into why: https://t.co/7XpzwGS1nd

Some protestors have broken away to form a second large rally in front of FIT Museum a few blocks away. Others remain here outside of the encampment, chanting and banging drums

Crowds of protestors and NYPD gather at the Fashion Institute of Technology where the last remaining Gaza Solidarity Encampment left in NYC faces an imminent police sweep

What would’ve been the optics of the overwhelming portions of student body and faculty expressing their disappointment and anger at the administration?

To me, the protests they’re afraid of now is not even the identical to the original topic. So keep the campus locked down…

@CJS_FACTCHECK is this true??

[C. Bissonnette @Car_Bissonnette]

NYPD still has campus completely locked down, very difficult even for students with IDs and student journalists to get through the gates. The #GazaSolidarityEncampment is being dismantled

Historic day here at @Columbia as students once again occupy Hamilton hall, evoking memories of the student protests on campus in 1968 which occupied the same building, on the same date.
