Second Hand Meat Mouth posted:in all seriousness though they're legit https://twitter.com/BTnewsroom/status/1780991887245037691 Last week, Nemat Shafik, President of Columbia University in New York, called in the NYPD to clear an encampment of students protesting Israel's attack on Palestine. The day before, she had been called to testify before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, and grilled by House Reps about an alleged spike in antisemitism at Columbia. The students were demanding that the University divest any investment in companies that support Israel. Police arrested 108 students. Some were suspended, evicted from student housing, and their student ID's deactivated. This seems to have backfired, as hundreds more students and professors at Columbia have joined the protest. https://twitter.com/cybersebb/status/1781048771310125120 Protests are springing up at universities across the country: https://apnews.com/article/gaza-war-campus-protests-966eb531279f8e4381883fc5d79d5466 Today, the LAPD arrested 93 students at USC. At the University of Texas at Austin, 500 students walked out, and police, on horseback and in riot gear, arrested at least 34 students and two members of the media. There have been protests at too many other schools to list here. https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1783208021222416652 The reaction in the mainstream media has been overwhelmingly against the students, calling them antisemites, dupes of China and Russia, and terrorism supporters. There have been calls to send in the National Guard, for mass arrests, and for the students to be blacklisted from future employment. Are these protests significant? Will they be crushed by violence? What about free speech (lol)? I think the hysterical response to these peaceful student activists to be pretty frightening.... Somebody has issued a correction as of 08:26 on May 1, 2024 |

Columbia president:- I may have committed some slight stupidity ===== Columbia University President: My summons to the police exacerbated the problem The New York Times quoted sources as saying that Columbia University President Nemat Shafiq admitted at a meeting of the university's Council of Elders that her summoning the police to deal with students supporting Palestine exacerbated the problem. The sources said the president of Columbia University met with the university's council of elders to justify the decision to call the students by police. https://www.aljazeera.net/news/live...%88%D9%82%D9%81 Al-Saqr has issued a correction as of 09:41 on Apr 25, 2024 |

The campus poo poo is really heartening and all but what I'm really stoked for is watching as this thread breaks the mega- barrier and becomes insular around a specific set of posters whose outsize time spent posting creates some sort of celebrity microcosm and feeds into a spiral of real life derangement that ends up with a multitude of posters defending a thread superstar for like braining a cavapoo with a brick.
