A warning to my colleagues @columbia: The witch hunt is coming for us, and there is no evidence that it is slowing down, even as the atrocities in Gaza pile up. My latest:

Exclusive:

Israeli soldiers set fire Aqsa University [AqsaUniversity]’s library in Gaza City and took pictures of themselves in front of the flames.

NYPD and Eric Adams said there were “no injuries” during the Hind Hall raid. They lied.

“The documented injuries included a fractured eye socket, concussions, an ankle sprain, cuts, and injured wrists and hands from tight plastic flexicuffs.” reuters.com/world/us/new-y…

This characterization of the WaPo piece is a defamatory lie.

It did not allege “outsize influence.” It documented a specific effort by specific people to influence policy backed up by documentation and carefully noted that there was no proof that it affected policy decisions

Look. At. This. Brother. Facing. Students.

Artist and Columbia 2023 alum Vanessa Mendoza has produced a series of wonderful poster prints commemorating this year's protests, including this one of my colleagues and me: etsy.com/listing/173238…

Brown university refused to drop the charges so the judge issued a not guilty filing for 41 anti-genocide student protestors who were accused of trespassing.

“I think this is a reflection of what nonviolent and peaceful resistance, frankly, is supposed to look like,” he said.

Columbia canceled its graduation, but faculty and students came together to organize a “People’s Graduation” and invited me as an opening speaker to say a prayer and offer some words of inspiration to the graduates from my experience organizing in the city. What an honor.

Israel's scholasticide has no equivalent here. Yet the attempted eradication of intellectual life in Gaza echoes far, w US universities ensuring that some professors vocal in support of Palestine can no longer do their jobs either. My latest The Intercept theintercept.com/2024/05/16/uni…

Grateful for every picture of this incredible ceremony that is composed so as to not show me ugly-crying just behind the speakers

As of today, both Barnard and Columbia faculty have voted no confidence in the presidents leading their institutions by large margins. Statement from Columbia/Barnard American Association of University Professors below.

The People’s Graduation is singlehandedly the most beautiful event Ive ever been a part of as faculty at Columbia. I wept for so much of it. All the work is worth it at times like these 💕

At 1:00pm, you can stream the People's Graduation for Justice and Peace live from the Cathedral of St. John the Divine here in Morningside Heights: bit.ly/peoplesgrad-li…
