"Almost every school and every university in Gaza has been destroyed or seriously degraded. Where once people studied, now they starve."
I see people on here like, 'Columbia faculty don't want to be homeless so they won't say anything' - my friends, they won't be "homeless," they'll be at their pied a terre in Rhinebeck.
Students in keffiyeh stoles hand Palestinian flags to President Thacker, who worked with the Board of Trustees to refuse divestment from israeli genocide & veto an academic boycott resolution endorsed by Pitzer’s highest democratic body.

This level of international communication and joint action hasn’t happened in decades! ❤️🔥
“We have put up the most glorious fight. We did not allow the movement to end with a false deal from Columbia. Keep all eyes on your comrades, mobilize to Columbia. If you are free, come to protect the encampment.”

URGENT CALL FOR MOBILIZATION: IF YOU LIVE IN NYC COME TO THE NEW SCHOOL RIGHT NOW. WE NEED ALL HANDS ON DECK. NYPD IS IN THE BUILDING AND THE STUDENTS NEED NUMBERS ON THE OUTSIDE. ADMIN IS RELYING ON THE FACT THAT THE CROWD IS MOBILIZED AT NYU/COLUMBIA.
Harris choosing Walz as a running mate has shown the world that DSA and our allies on the left are a force that cannot be ignored. Through collective action, DSA and the US left more broadly have made it clear that change is needed. DSA members organized in our workplaces and

DISCLOSE, DIVEST, WE WILL NOT STOP WE WILL NOT REST 🇵🇸
It’s no surprise that students from working-class university systems are some of the most militant, disciplined organizers in our movement. Cal State & CUNY schools are the beating heart of student organzing despite not receiving a fraction of the coverage as elite universities.

These students are nothing short of HEROES for protesting at AUC and calling for divestment under an unfathomably repressive Egyptian government
The student movement is global and we are only just getting started ❤️🔥

The Refaat Alareer Memorial Library, Hind’s Hall, and now, the Dr. Hammam Alloh medic tent. Honoring our martyrs is the utmost expression of humanity. This is the humanity that fascism fears the most.
Do people not visiting the encampments know how much kindness there is in them? Like the Dr. Hammam Alloh medic tent, named for the 36-yr-old nephrologist killed in Al Shifa when he refused to abandon his patients
