And not a single one of the articles OP posted refer to these as anti-genocide protests.
Every media outlet who keeps framing this as students supporting Palestine or opposing Israel is burying the lede, that these students wouldn’t be supporting or opposing anything if there wasn’t a fucking genocide.

Why is this escalating so much faster than the 1989 Chinese democracy protests or the 2019 Hong Kong protests? In those cases, it took weeks for arrests to happen and months for force to be deployed. Most law enforcement in those cases were unarmed.
Because Chinese police and military exist for different reasons than US police and military
Kinda wild how the system keeps legions of thugs on-call, nationwide, that can be assembled at a moment's notice to inflict legal violence on whatever the target population is
This is happening under Biden. There's a reason why bluemaga isn't calling Trump a fascist anymore.
Someone please post this on lemmy.world, I want to see their reaction.
They would melt.
The notorious land of the freedom.
But I thought fascism was only going to happen if Trump is elected? Guess it’s already here, now what do we do??
I know!
let's not vote and get trump elected so that instead of just being arrested, these people are shipped off to a gulag.
That will fix everything!
I'm a Columbia alum. Thank you op for continuing to bring this story and similar ones from all over the country to Lemmy. Hats off to The Spec for still covering the situation on campus. Shefik somehow hasn't tried shutting them down just yet.
I'm still shocked to think NYPD was actually brought into South Lawn. Even there police chief said everyone was peaceful and they were only there because the president called them in.
I just feel the need to tell OP that they are appreciated for posting this, as well as their work in the comments section. Thanks.
Campus protests are close to my heart.
