Melissa Gira Grant: WKCR reporting that 60-70 arrested last night are still awaiting arraignment, might be at night court (6p-1a) but otherwise would have to wait until tomorrow am. a WKCR reporter is there and will be all night. not great also that "it seems like very few" people have been released thru the day.

Desperately trying to find one they can claim as an outside agitator.

jfc arraignments can take 10 minutes

apparently they haven't even been informed of their charges. meanwhile court was on dinner break

Haven't figured out what charges a DA can pretend to think will stick for a while.

Has there been any reliable word on a legal fund for arrested students to which people can donate?

i'd check the instagram accounts of the groups involved at fordham, cuny, etc. columbia university apartheid divest said earlier today they did not need funds:

I saw someone say “it’s a miracle no protester was more seriously injured” and… from their lips to God’s ears, but I don’t think we know the extent of injuries yet, do we?

if they're charged with a violation or misdemeanor that contravenes the agreement for protest reform the NYPD agreed to and as signed by hehe judge in Feb

i just keep typing variations of “they’re gonna get sued again and they still won’t change” but it’s too grim (2020, 2011, 2004….)

check your signal when you get a chance plz

have they found even *one* "outside agitator" yet?

The NY Times found a 63 year-old woman. She seems cool: www.nytimes.com/2024/05/01/n...
