The arrests came a day after university leaders pledged to Congress that they would crack down on unauthorized student protests related to the war in Gaza.

Live Updates: Police Arresting Pro-Palestinian Protesters at Columbiawww.nytimes.com Officers began arresting students on Thursday, a day after university officials testified about antisemitism before Congress.

It would be great if @nytimes.com would stop pretending that House Republicans have good faith concerns about antisemitism rather than a thinly veiled blood lust for Muslims.

Why does the New York Times seem so pleased at this fascist attack on free speech and assembly?

Because the NYT is pro-fascist.

this is fascism.

it's crazy how this happened. couldn't possibly have come on the end of a bullshit media campaign by *you* that fucking conservatives are being silenced in colleges, you goddamn hacks.

hey are you going to treat this as a free speech issue or is that just when chris rufo tells your pathetic rag to go after a trans kid for existing

Fuck you and your entire editorial staff

As breaking news, these updates were OK. But the page header is atrocious and reeks of the NYT editors having their minds made up that anti war protesters are by definition antisemitic. Even if that were true, NYT should make claims about it with evidence, not smearing all student protest.

One of the worst things about the Live Updates page is the main header: "Antisemitism on Campus" "Protests at Columbia" fall under that. Really? Makes it sound like it was a Nazi rally. These are anti war protests. By Jewish and Muslim students and others. www.nytimes.com/live/2024/04...

Do you mean anti-mass bombing protestors? Because pro-palestinian doesn't really represent the crux of the issue they're protesting about

your editor jacked off to this, didn’t he

Congratulations on your successful activism, NYT!

A truly shameful display by Columbia and the NYPD, but certainly not surprising given their fascist sympathies.

Based on this picture, I would speculate that some sporting good store in New York had a banger sales day yesterday.

Modell’s is gone, hard to even find sporting goods

Has there ever been a student-led anti-war protest that wasn’t vindicated by history?

Since you asked: yes en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America... but I'd agree they're the exception rather than the rule

America First Committee - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org

fuck you.

Will the editorial board be decrying this stifling of free speech or nah?

You guys gonna defend the speakers on this one or do you only do that for fascists?

“Unauthorized” says a lot here. The obvious opposite , of authorized student protests, sound more than a wee bit North Korea.

The NYT is despicable. The magas, after you usher them into power, won’t stop with the undocumented, the unfounded and LGBTQ+ people. They’ll come for you too. They hate you relentlessly and fantasize about killing you all . And you’ll shit on the left as the magas lead you to the gallows.

I think Sharon Otterman, Alan Blinder and Troy Closson can be better contributions to society by being pelted with bricks.

Huh. “…the University cannot and will not rule any subject or form of expression out of order on the ground that it is objectionable, offensive, immoral, or untrue…” universitypolicies.columbia.edu/content/rule...

I got a feeling the DNC this year, in Chicago, in August.. is gonna be something.

I hate you people more than words. You absolutely disgusting crypto conservatives just burning down a once respected newspaper to put some college kids through hell

Yup!!!

What fucking democracy is this?

Arrested for trespassing? At a college they attend? Disgraceful.

Go to hell.

Looks like @nytimes.com got their wish to turn another Ivy League campus into a dictatorship where you can only protest if you're a far right extremist.

No way this is going to backfire and result in more antisemitism.

NYCLU Executive Director Donna Lieberman: Columbia “also risks the well-being of students, because the NYPD deployed its Strategic Response Group, a unit that has a history of escalation and violence."

What law were they breaking?

Congrats on achieving your objectives

I hope Bret Stephens is happy!

These Pali Hamas supporters are criminals.

Protesting genocides is evil according to Republicans in Congress, the fascist police, and the authoritarian Columbia admin. We should throw the whole lot, along with the NYT execs and editorial staff, into the sun.
