🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Cornell University Police detains at least 16 students and community members at peaceful walkout in protest of war criminals on our campus.

This is fascism.

Yesterday @Cornell finally expunged my disciplinary record for taking part in a pro-Palestine protest after - I was forced into hiding for 3 months, self-deported from the US, and had my visa revoked.

B*st*rds.

Understand: the sharpening of repression is only a distraction from the genocide. Know: Retreating into the institution is not safety. Refusal to act is not safety. Sitting quietly for your finals is not safety. These betrayals will not save you from imperial violence.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

“If I die, I want a resounding death. I do not want me in urgent news, nor in a number with a group. I want a death that the world hears, an effect that remains for the extent of the ages, and immortal images that neither time nor space buries."

🚨17 VISAS REVOKED AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY, ADMIN SAYS NOTHING - The policies in place are paper thin, we need protections for immigrant students NOW ‼️ Send Cornell admin an email: https://t.co/a4R1IzHTbG

[TAHRIR Coalition @TAHRIRxmich]

Universities, prior to the Trump administration, ended due process for students, making it easier to arrest, discipline, suspend, expel, and fire students. This criminalization paved the way for Trump's visa-revocations and deportations. The two systems work together.

Well that’s a relief. Just to let you know how insane ICE operate. They knew they didn’t have any grounds to deport me, so they tried (after I sued Trump) to subpoena all my social media. We were preparing a motion to quash but I learnt this morning that they have decided to withdraw the subpoena.

[The Coalition for Mutual Liberation @cmlcornell]

Meet Christina Liang, Director of Cornell OSCCS & the woman whose words ICE used to deport Momodou Taal.

OSCCS has served as a key arm of Cornell’s repressive regime. Will Cornell continue to let their words be used to deport their students? We’re watching.

[The Coalition for Mutual Liberation @cmlcornell]

Fuck our Presidents. We will not be silenced.

[The Nation @thenation]

Even before his lawsuit, Cornell University student Momodou Taal suspected that he was going to be a target under the Trump administration. “I felt more and more as the lawsuit progressed that I was gambling with my freedom.”

The first procedural hearing for the fed. lawsuit @MomodouTaal filed March 15 concluded in Syracuse about 30 minutes ago. About 150 people showed. Two over flow rooms were filled. @EricLeeAtty, lead counsel on the case and Taal’s lawyer, speaks to the crowd outside court house.

[Eric Lee @EricLeeAtty]

🧵Powerful statement by Jewish Cornell students, faculty & alumni opposing Trump's claim that Momodou Taal has created a "hostile environment for Jewish students" by protesting for Palestine.

I’m safe. I’m well. And I await my time to be heard in court.

Solidarity requires concrete action — show up for my dear comrade @MomodouTaal. Demand the demilitarization of campuses and refuse to let genocide become a normalized backdrop to your daily life!
