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.

      Didn’t want to edit my comment because of how desperate you are to be “right”. So I’ll add it here.

      In all seriousness though. You know what you did. You know how disingenuous you’ve been. You attacked me personally and gaslighted. All because I suggested maybe things have been pretty bad for college protestors for longer than you suggested.

        I had no intentions of gaslighting. Your response implied something contrary to my comment. When I defended my comment with a response, you began editing your previous comments to change the conversation and the implications of my comments in turn. It was manipulative and dishonest.
