The People’s Graduation is singlehandedly the most beautiful event Ive ever been a part of as faculty at Columbia. I wept for so much of it. All the work is worth it at times like these 💕

[Megan Pinto 🌘🌗🌖 @megg_bean]

My book, Saints of Little Faith, is among these luminous @FourWayBooks titles ☺️ I hope you will consider pre-ordering!

We will never forget. The attack on Shireen’s funeral is forever etched in our collective memory.

UPDATE FROM ONE POLICE PLAZA:
- No press allowed inside Hind’s Hall, including WKCR.
- Multiple Columbia students were taken straight to the hospital due to severe injuries by NYPD.
- Students had swollen faces from being kicked repeatedly by police.

TO BE CLEAR, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY HAS CALLED THE COPS ONTO ITS OWN STUDENTS FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO WEEKS, ON THE 56TH ANNIVERSARY OF WHEN THEY LAST CALLED THE POLICE ONTO CAMPUS TO ARREST OVER 700 PROTESTING THE VIETNAM WAR & HARLEM GENTRIFICATION ON APRIL 30TH, 1968

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

And here you can see officers entering an academic building with their weapons drawn, in response to college students protesting their tax & tuition dollars contributing to a plausible genocide

[A.V. Marraccini @saintsoftness]

If you're following Columbia, turn on WKCR right now-- it seems like the cops are cordoning off even public streets and there are no legal observers allowed in, but NYPD counterterrorism units are massing. Listening to the police state prepare to pounce in real time, ghastly.

At CUNY. This is fascism btw.

[Sumaya Awad @sumayaawad]

FYI Israel said they’re invading Rafah no matter what. That’s why encampments are spreading. That’s why we must escalate. That’s why all eyes on Rafah.

A statement from the Gaza Solidarity Encampment on opportunists entering our space.

[DEACTIVATED @thrasherxy]

Learning, I fundamentally believe, is a co-constitutive process: we learn together. We make new meaning together. If you go spend even a little time with your students, it will unlock so much more learning potential between you—not just in camp, but back in the classroom, too.

[Sara Wahedi @SaraWahedi]

It’s almost midnight and turnout of students at @Columbia has filled the entire plaza.

Students being divided into groups to deter NYPD movement into encampment.

[Dan Sheehan @danpjsheehan]

On its homepage, the @nytimes website currently has four (4) prominently-displayed pieces about American college protests and zero (0) pieces about the nearly 300 bodies (some with their hands and feet bound) found in a mass grave at a hospital in southern Gaza.

[Madeleine Baker @madeleineebaker]

Remarkable but not wholly surprising that the least protected faculty feel most empowered to speak out https://t.co/P2eFdhdB3Y
