    Close-up video footage, obtained by Drop Site, shows one agent push a person to the ground and then deploy a chemical irritant twice on the 37-year-old Pretti, who had gone to help the person pushed. Around 8 agents then swarm and wrestle him to the ground. One of the officers then visibly unholstered his gun and fired multiple close-range gunshots at Pretti, a #Minnesota resident who was reportedly on the scene as an observer. There are 10 gunshots heard in all—at least five of them were fired at Pretti from a distance, while the person holding the camera shouts, “What the fuck did you just do?”

    Mohsen Mahdawi, the 34-year-old #Palestinian student and #US permanent resident, returned to #ColumbiaUniversity on Tuesday and vowed to continue speaking out.

    “They have failed to silence me, and in fact, now I am more outspoken than before, and I will continue to work for peace and justice. I do this work not for myself alone – I do this for the future of children, whether they are Palestinians or #Israelis,” he told the Guardian on Tuesday in his first interview since stepping back on to campus to begin his graduate studies.

  3. I spent decades at Columbia. I’m withdrawing my fall course due to its deal with #Trump

    Columbia’s capitulation has turned a #university that was once a site of free inquiry and learning into a shadow of its former self, an-anti university, a gated security zone with electronic entry controls, a place of fear and loathing, where faculty and students are told from on high what they can teach and say, under penalty of severe sanctions. Disgracefully, all of this is being done to cover up one of the greatest crimes of this century, the ongoing genocide in #Gaza, a crime in which #Columbia’s leadership is now fully complicit.

  5. Michigan's #Democratic AG Under Fire After Armed Agents Raid Homes of Palestine Defenders

    "We are totally convinced that, but for their viewpoints, these students would not have been targeted," said one attorney.

    " Federal and local law enforcement officers smashed their way into the #Michigan homes of pro-#Palestine student organizers on Wednesday in what the state attorney general's office said was a vandalism probe—but critics called an attack on dissent against #Israel's genocidal assault on #Gaza. "
