Dozens of protesters took over a building at Columbia University in New York early Tuesday, barricading entrances and unfurling a Palestinian flag from a window in the latest escalation of demonstrations against the Israel-Hamas war on college campuses nationwide. The school promised they would face expulsion.

The occupation at Columbia — where protesters shrugged off an ultimatum to abandon a tent encampment Monday or be suspended — unfolded as other universities stepped up efforts to clear out encampments. Police swept through some campuses, spurring confrontations with protesters and plenty of arrests. In rarer instances, university officials and protest leaders have struck agreements to restrict the disruption to campus life.

    I’m temporarily disabled, so there’s not much else I can do right now. They kept editing their comments to change the implications of my responses. I looked at the account and saw 11 comments, and half were deleted. I was wrong to assume account age based on that information.

      There you go again. Wow, no one tried to make you look bad. I watched it all go down. To be honest I’m surprised you responded the way you did. You need to let it go.
