“Youth are the conscience of our world and their voices are the moral compass that guide us to a better future. Rather than brutalize them and criminalize their protest actions, we must encourage them to continue to stand for justice, human rights and dignity for all humanity.”

"Students arrested during the police crackdown on protests at universities in New York City last week were denied water and food for 16 hours, according to two faculty members at #ColumbiaUniversity’s #BarnardCollege who collected reports from students who were inside.
"Other students reported that they were beaten by New York City Police Department officers after their arrests and taken to the hospital for injuries before being returned to central booking. Photos of the injuries were provided to The Intercept.
"Police arrested 282 protesters at Columbia University and the #CityCollege of New York. According to the professors, they ended up at one of two jails downtown: NYPD headquarters or the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse.
"'The conditions we’re hearing about are inhumane. They take away the dignity of every person in there.'
"Students arrested during the crackdown said at least two of them were put in solitary confinement for three hours and others reported much longer stays, according to Barnard College professor #ShayoniMitra and a tenured faculty member who asked for anonymity to protect their livelihood. The faculty members were working to support jailed students. (The NYPD did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)
"Other students reported that they were held in mouse-infested cells, along with the general population of the jail. The students told the professors that they weren’t given water or food for 16 hours and that at least one student was left without shoes for the same period of time.
"'The conditions we’re hearing about are inhumane,' Mitra told The Intercept. 'They take away the dignity of every person in there.'
"Police forces and state troopers raided university protests at dozens of campuses across the country last week. Nationwide, police have arrested more than 2,500 people, according to an arrest tracker from The Appeal."
But #Biden wants us only latched to allegations of the anxieties of Zionist #students:
“interacting with #Columbia admin as a Palestinian student feels like choking on my own food at a fancy dinner table with all of them pretending not to notice. and then later finding out that they poisoned the food.”
