More than 100 protesters were arrested at Columbia University and City College. Most of the arrests were made at Columbia.

I changed the link to be the updated CNN students protest page.
Watching other people make the history books in real time, meanwhile, I'm just having another day at work. Wild
Someone's gotta file those TPS reports
So I take it that westerners will now and forever shut the fuck up about Tinyman square?
Americans literally watched tanks roll down suburb streets in 2020. Liberals never will.
police killed dozens in the summer of 2020 including several vehicular murders and they didn't shut the fuck up
They won't because they support the cops doing this.
I'm feeling like by the end of the night, we will have had another Kent State.
A few minutes ago - Lawrence O'Donnell mentioned how in the 1960s "police officers gleefully beat protestors" and in comparison he was impressed by the the "professionalism" of the NYPD and - paraphrase - "how everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion... from the camera's perspective". Of course - tv news cameras where shooting people outside the buildings and nobody knows anything about what happened inside.
Jesus Christ lmao what level of fascism is that
There are literal reports of unconscious students
the pigs actively herded all journalists and legal observers away from the area before they breached. which is wild to do when 1) the kids inside are going to film the most harrowing shit regardless and 2) none of the media outlets will air any of that footage anyway.
Will never be voting for a mainstream democrat, or really any democrat, ever again. Good job, Joe! Killed your own campaign so hard it's making Hillary blush
They dont care, if for the next 100 years the libs lose, they dont care. They didnt care when you threatened the first time
Gonna be real weird in two weeks when the NYT goes back to covering how college campuses are uncomfortable with debate.
Those dumb New Yorkers should maybe
for Dems harder then!We must vote for Biden to stop the fascists already doing all the fascist things or the real fascist will get in the White House next!
This shit all sucks. It's fascism all the way down.
Uhhhh actually china is genociding hongkong taiwan tibet. Tiananmen square uhhhh. Vote blue. Any vote for anyone else means 0 rights. Uhhhh china russia iran no rights terrorism authoritarian.
Oh shit yeah. I love freedumb 🫡
All keywords hit. You have been promoted to General Liberal
Glad to serve 🫡
In America the fascist state apparatus arrests you for being upset about a foreign country committing genocide
‘Israel’ is not a foreign country it’s a an imperial outpost near the gas station
25 arrested at my uni today. Death to America.
It's on CNN and MSNBC.

You'll need to use your adblockers and perform an exorcism. Also - the scrollbar might not work.

Edit/update
CNN - Still covering the protests.
MSNBC - Lawrence O'Donnell moved on to Trump. Because of course he did. His base - the old folks who watch MSNBC as a religion - want the comforting embrace of Trump news. And I bet he does too.
Hasan is covering it https://twitch.tv/hasanabi
He's using a combination of demonstrator streams, WKCR (campus radio, who has reporters on the ground), videos sent directly to him from demonstrators, CNN, and noteworthy videos on Twitter as they come out.

Find jt interesting they are sending in the pro
crowds and all the sudden "protests turn violent" and need to arrest at the same time in are turning against their own people calling out Bibi's bullshit about the hostages and his corruption.Definitely just coincidences.
All this is going to do is spread the protests beyond the colleges. Dems are shitting their pants that another Kent State or 1968 convention is going to happen. They know they can't spin the Genocide Joe thing.
I think my favorite narrative I've been hearing regarding these protests, and you heard this a lot in 2020 too, is that all these protestors willing to engage in property violence and physically clash with the police are actually outside agitators. And in this case they're outside agitators occupying a privately owned building, which the media is happy to compare to a private single family home. That's right, protestors occupying a private university building is exactly the same as them occupying your home, you braindead TV consumer you.
Sometimes the 'outside agitator' narrative has merit. I imagine we've all seen videos of obvious police plants trying to rile up people in order to get them arrested. Maybe some of you have witnessed such things in person. I vaguely remember reading that the guy who started the fire that burned down that Minneapolis Police station was actually a chud trying to make things worse. That sort of thing, I guess, really does happen. But it's also such a convenient narrative. "Oh, it wasn't concerned student activists and professors and ordinary people trying to stand against a genocide. It was wild-eyed barbarians, outsiders from outside, and thus all the police violence wielded against these people protesting a genocide was wholly justified."
That talking point was really funny in 2020. Mass protests happening in every major american city, where are the "outside" agitators coming from? Was it just a bunch of rural people coming to the cities to start shit?
Profile page of a journalist at Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/joshuajfriedman.com
He's posting updates every ~10 to ~15m.
Edit/update
A WKCR reporter says that there is an unconscious student protester on the ground in front of Hamilton Hall. [...] WKCR also reports that NYPD is using tear gas.

WKCR reporters say that everything they're hearing from fellow students is that the people being arrested and filling NYPD buses are students, not outsiders
--
A minor detail but weirdly touched at how the student reporters of WKCR keep apologizing whenever they interrupt each other, like this is such a chaotic scene and they're so professional
He said that at the beginning of this show. He spent ~6m on the protests and segued right into the warm, soft embrace Trump coverage.
Lawrence O'Donnell: "It's the most organized and most calmest and most professional police intervention we've ever seen on a college campus."

Mans said “least fash police action” without a hint of irony or self awareness
Listening to WKCR, via TuneIn.
Students, a Professor and apparently the Dean of the Journalism school have been threatened with arrest if they leave the Journalism building.

Over 100 protesters were arrested Tuesday at Columbia University and City College of New York, according to a law enforcement official. Most of the arrests were made at Columbia, the official said.
Can’t wait for the convention.
Pigasus 2?
I can't even find a way to be snarky. Literally just pulling the ladder up with them. The oppressed transformed into tokens, doing the oppressors bidding.
Blatant, in our face misleadership. People got real uncomfy with calling a minstrel a minstrel; and thus did community coon out to the lanyard complex, to Black Capitalism, to feigned 'excellence'. Death to Amerika, worse to everyone invested in propping it up.
Identity politics is all you get
The cynic in me thinks it's intentional to build racist sentiment.
