History student at Columbia. Tweet about bad baseball, all things South Florida, random funny (to me) thoughts I have, and sometimes even on-campus discourse.

The lack of clarity on this is a huge problem, and one that could be mitigated by students at the on-campus protests disavowing such actions.

Noting that I have no way of knowing, for sure, whether any of the people who fomented and enacted actual violence on campus last night were Columbia students. Based on how student and non-student protesters have acted in past, it seems more likely that most were not students.

It is possible violence from non-students may normalize violence from students. That is why it is important for all protesters, inside or outside the gates (from SJP's leaders to those who have joined in the last few days) to condemn violence and/or separate from those who won't.

important context from @yoni_kurtz . But it's not clear that the on-campus violent actors (against Jewish counter-protestors) were not Columbia students. More to the point: there is a continuum between on-campus and off-campus. Speech creates general climate

It is 100% true that many Jewish students who strongly criticize Israel both feel and are excluded, possibly institutionally, and definitely socially, from prominent spaces on campus.

So basically classic Ivy League leadership antisemitism in the style of the 1920s when Harvard changed their whole admissions process because many Jews were getting in and they didn't want so many Jews. Nothing has changed

Columbia’s biggest failure is diagnosing these two issues as different problems in which they must pick a “side.” It is ALL the same problem. Until Columbia’s admin, faculty, students, government officials truly grasp that, things will only get worse.

From my vantage point, all of these points (Chait’s article and Klion’s response) are true. Reactionary politics and the reactionary and violent responses to said politics fuel each other. Weird to say, but this is one of the main things I have learned at Columbia this year.

There are campuses that have managed these protests without major incident. The people who decided to help the right-wing thrive are Shafik, Adams, Hochul, and ultimately Joe Biden.

If this really is the end of Twitter, I just want to clear the air with all 104 of my followers. Elon Musk has been running this acc-, as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that’ll be a home run, and so that’ll make it a 4-0 ballgame.

That paper contained dozens of scandalous references to the overt racism from media, fans, and MLB teams that Clemente faced and overcame. Maybe the State of Florida should rescind my award for writing about such a dangerous topic...
