BREAKING: this morning we received news of the FBI executing search warrants against multiple pro-Palestine organizers at the university, including at least one GEO member. This is an alarming escalation by the university and state. The situation is developing; more soon.
We unequivocally condemn @Columbia’s fascist crackdown on the participants in the Butler teach-in. Columbia will go down in history as an institution that punished students who raised their voices while Gaza starved.
OFFICIAL CUAD PRESS RELEASE: In a historic first, Columbia has suspended nearly 80 students for participating in a teach-in honoring Basel al-Araj. The announcement comes just ahead of the University's deal with the Trump administration and the Anti-Defamation League.
BREAKING: The Columbia University chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) releases a statement criticizing Columbia's announcements to adopt the IHRA definition and partner with the ADL. The JVP statement says, "The new commitments to “combat antisemitism” are a dangerous…
After 104 days of ICE detention, Mahmoud Khalil is back home with his family and friends. As we celebrate Mahmoud’s release, we cannot ignore @Columbia’s ongoing collaboration with DHS & the thousands of people remaining in ICE detention. Free them all. Welcome home Mahmoud! 🇵🇸
MAHMOUD IS FREE! FREE THEM ALL! ❤️🔥
This is how our faculty senators view Palestinian students and anyone who dares to speak up for them.
As Columbia students pleaded with the trustees, @howardworman was busy sending disparaging text messages to members of the group chat including @profmitts, @AndrewEinstein7, @OrenPizmonyLevy, Brent Stockwell, and Andrew Marks.
EXPOSED: @Columbia University faculty senators texts during the Senate Town Hall reveal racism, sexism, and close ties to the Board of Trustees. LEAKED TEXTS INCLUDE: "everything other word is Palestinian, it's just awful" and "Barnard students are the worst". 🧵
An author of this "Sunlight Report", Columbia Professor Gil Zussman belonged to a Pro Israel WhatsApp group that compared Palestinian students to "roaches". The same WhatsApp group that lobbied for Mahmoud Khalil to be deported. x.com/Columbia_psc/s…
The Sunlight Report from @Columbia faculty raises serious concerns about the process, accuracy, and legitimacy of the Univ Senate’s Sundial Report. Thoughtful, data-driven, and urgent reading for anyone concerned with governance and accountability 👇 standcolumbia.org/2025/05/01/iss…

We will be back. Thank you to everyone who joined us at today’s action. We will hold the @Columbia University trustees accountable for detaining our friends. For Mahmoud, Mohsen, and a Free Palestine. 🇵🇸
New: Keffiyeh-wearing Columbia students were allegedly assaulted by other students—including ex-Israeli military officers—last year at a campus gala. They say Columbia never responded & saw some attackers being recognized for "good character" at graduation.zeteo.com/p/keffiyeh-wea…
Actions taken by @Columbia University for “student safety” - Doing nothing when students are punched for wearing keffiyehs - Paying a student who sent over ten people to the hospital $395K - Calling NYPD to violently arrest your students and give them concussions

Nah, this is exactly what the ADL, Jonathan Greenblatt, and other Zionists have been gunning for for years. They are not only complicit in this authoritarian crackdown, they’re the driving force behind it. Greenblatt is just getting cold feet because he’s seeing it backfire.
SCOOP @J_Insider via @GSDeutch: “ADL’s Greenblatt now calling out ‘disturbing pattern’ in Trump’s deportation campaign” “ADL CEO says the protection of Jewish students ‘shouldn't require us to shred the norms that we use to protect other people’” jewishinsider.com/2025/04/adl-jo…
Columbia is lying: The Forward reported that trustees handed Mahmoud Khalil’s name to the government for unlawful deportation. Columbia also fails to mention that five new Jewish students locked themselves to another fence. They’ve been protesting for nearly ten hours straight.
April 2, 2025 Update on Today’s Disruption at Campus Gate: communications.news.columbia.edu/news/update-to…
LOCATION CHANGE: EARL HALL GATE. Columbia threatened disciplinary sanctions for multiple Jewish students but we’re not moving. Calling all Columbia alumni to join us! Hold the trustees accountable. @JVPColumbia
FREE MAHMOUD KHALIL. FREE PALESTINE. ICE OFF CAMPUS NOW. Columbia University students remain chained to the gates, demanding trustee accountability for reporting Mahmoud Khalil to ICE. @JVPColumbia
BREAKING: @Columbia University students chain themselves to Columbia’s gates, demanding the name of the trustees who gave Mahmoud Khalil’s name to ICE. We will not leave until our demand is met. Free Mahmoud Khalil. Free Palestine. @JVPColumbia
