I’m a black Barnard prof and former CUNY prof who sat in court all day yesterday. I’m profoundly outraged by the disparate treatment of CCNY students and Columbia students. It’s it beyond obvious this some classist racist bullshit.

Do not be fooled by copaganda and do not ignore the way the state is setting up working-class students to be an object lesson for colonial gains. Keep your eyes on CCNY. Keep your eyes on Gaza✊🏿

@Anthro_CAM @nadjaguyot Watching students get arraigned back to back…I’m LIVID. To be clear: I’m not pitting students against each other—that is after all the STATE strategy—these are all our people/students. We should ALL be outraged. As we should about genocide.

New from a protestor who occupied Hind’s Hall: Columbia allegedly pressured NYPD to “throw the book” at them, all initially charged with 3 counts of felony burglary. “It wasn’t until we got called to court that we found out the charges were reduced to misdemeanors” by the DA.
