The Guardian · Mahmoud Khalil says his arrest was part of ‘Columbia’s repression playbook’By Edward Helmore
Continued thread

2/2 "To the students who remain apathetic to Columbia’s disregard for human life and its willingness to discard student safety: As pressure from the federal government intensifies, know that your neutrality on Palestine will not protect you. When the time comes for the federal government to target other causes, it will be your names that #Columbia will offer on a silver platter, it will be your pleas that fall on deaf ears, it will be your just causes that are stonewalled." Mahmoud Khalil

"Coup at Columbia? School’s Capitulation to Trump"

"It feels like a kind of racial and ethnic cleansing that is happening on our campuses.”

"Students from abroad, even those with green cards & U.S. citizenship, are now terrified of being swept up in the Trump administration’s crackdown."

~Former Law Prof Katherine Franke

"At Seventeen" is a song by American singer-songwriter #JanisIan from her seventh studio album #BetweenTheLines. #Columbia released it in July 1975 as the album's second single. Ian wrote the lyrics on the basis of a #NewYorkTimes article and used a #samba instrumental, and Brooks Arthur produced the final version. A #pop and #softRock ballad, the song is about a social outcast in #highSchool. Critics have regarded "At Seventeen" as a type of #anthem.
