The govt is threatening to end the flow of billions to #universities across the country, many of which are facing inquiries from agencies that range from the #DOJ to #HHS.

But #Trump’s punitive approach…is playing out most acutely at #Columbia. The university, a hub of last spring’s campus #protest movement against the war in #Gaza, has spent months confronting accusations that it *condoned* *antisemitic* behavior, permitted *lawlessness* to dominate, & stifled #academic & #political #speech.

I'm usually a bit wary of boosting news articles where I'd like to know more of the story before forming an opinion. For this story though, I think it worthy of a boost regardless. Sadly I can't expect to ask anyone for the minutes of the meeting because, well, it got raided by the police. I'd dearly love to know if any of the police thought "Gee, we're going to break into a quaker meeting house and arrest people... are we modestly sure this is a proportional use of force?".

I hate to reduce things to pithy memes, and we have some superb civilian police officers in the UK who do a very difficult job, but I can't help but think of the Mitchell & Webb "Hans... Are we the baddies?" sketch.

I'm told it takes a very special person to flourish in the met police, and I assume policing a capital has nuances that are less relevant elsewhere. I'm disappointed that their surveillance apparatus was not felt capable of monitoring them adequately, and that it was felt force was necessitated.
