The Encampments still – the lawn of Columbia campus full of students, some holding Palestinian flags, and tents, as well as NYPD.

NYC! Get your tix to THE ENCAMPMENTS – released early to meet, as Watermelon Pictures wrote, the "urgent need to challenge the misinformation surrounding Mahmoud [Khalil], the student movement, and all who feel the moral duty to stand against genocide."

Six images of various banners protesting the Medieval Academy of America's support of genocide. The last image features a cop car, highlighting how the Academy called upon the police as a disproportionate response to this autonomous action.

Hey, hey, MAA, how many Gazans did you kill today?

An autonomous group disrupted the Medieval Academy of America's conference at Harvard University today, dropping multiple banners and redecorating conference signage.

No arrests made.

On Refusing to Disappear: Stanford Anthropology’s Collusion with Genocide Denial — American Anthropologist by Sarah Ihmoud (College of the Holy Cross)

Cancelling an event because of Zionist intimidation is censorship. It violates academic freedom. It puts another target on a Palestinian scholar's back.
Call out "cancellations of concern." Your colleagues are NOT to be suppressed for your own worries.

To my colleagues at Columbia: if you were wondering where the rubber hits the road, this is where the rubber hits the road.

I beseech you not to act like this is business as usual or it will indeed become business as usual.

Columbia has no interest in protecting its students. The university will continue to acquiesce to the racist, genocidal Trump Administration, betraying its mission and gaining nothing. Mahmoud must be found and freed.

It's a safe bet that Columbia is currently working on a statement that will find some way to apologize to the Trump administration about the issue

Columbia University’s notice to encampment document with “I ain’t reading all that Free Palestine” written over the print in large red letters.

Columbias (former) president did all that foolishness. The university threw the hammer down on students and faculty. All claiming to be in service of stopping antisemitism. And 47 STILL came for them.

Was it worth it @columbiauniversity.bsky.social?

Columbia’s mission is to teach, create, and advance knowledge. For over 270 years, that mission has been grounded in an enduring and essential commitment to freedom of expression, open inquiry, and generous, respectful debate. Today, we were notified of federal action from Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Department of Education (ED), and the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) cancelling $400 million in federal funding to the University. The federal agencies cite “the school’s continued inaction in the face of persistent harassment of Jewish students.” There is no question that the cancellation of these funds will immediately impact research and other critical functions of the University, impacting students, faculty, staff, research, and patient care. But let me be very clear: Columbia is taking the government’s action very seriously. I want to assure the entire Columbia community that we are committed to working with the federal government to address their legitimate concerns. To that end, Columbia can, and will, continue to take serious action toward combatting antisemitism on our campus.

Email from Columbia President Armstrong makes clear that admin still has no idea what it’s dealing with. No amount of “serious action to combat antisemitism” (read: punish Palestine activists) will satisfy the Nazis. They see universities as an enemy institution to crush underfoot.

Pinkwashing the Timeline | Schuyler Mitchell Pro-Israel propaganda is often ideologically indistinguishable from the hatred that flows from the American right.

The Guardian: New York New York governor orders removal of Palestinian studies job posting at Cuny Hunter College faculty and staff union condemns Kathy Hochul’s order to take down listing, calling it ‘overreach of authority’ Marina Dunbar Wed 26 Feb 2025 16.25 EST

Discuss.

(fun additional facts: she’s the first female governor of NY. also is not a Republican)

what the zionist entity is doing by withholding "aid" like tents, medical equipment, shelter, and food, while destroying water and sewage infrastructure, is economic warfare that is part and parcel of the genocide it is committing against Palestinians. this is a place where we can intervene. do it.
