With the greenlight of Columbia President Minouche Shafik and her administration, NYPD has entered Hind Hall through the windows and begun to mass arrest students inside. Let this be remembered as Columbia and Shafik’s legacy: one of mobilizing the violence and terror of the state against their own students and faculty, solely to prevent an end to Columbia’s complicity in a genocide.

    How is it weird? These people are specifically protesting some of the actions of the presidential administration. He needs to address it.

      So then they should take their protest to the correct place? And not a private institution with nothing to do with presidential decisions.

      If what you’re saying is true, then the protest is a huge “sir, this is a wendy’s.”

        I feel you might be missing the point of the protest. They want to get the message out and they did on a global level. There are stories reporting this. Hell I don’t know if you knew it, but we are talking about it right now.

        People are forgetful and you have to keep bugging them for change to happen. You need to make it difficult to ignore, or else you will be ignored.
