Using an unannounced curfew to detain students, faculty, legal observers and journalists on a public university campus currently overrun with police and to then charge these people with “unlawful assembly” and “conspiracy to commit burglary” is authoritarian. Admin has to go now!

this is the absolute fucking basement but it gives me hope that the ship is very slowly turning.

This is an absolutely incredible, must-watch, all-timer of a clip.

The Secretary of State admits social media has made it almost impossible to hide atrocities and a sitting senator agrees by saying outloud that was a factor in leveraging the power of the state against TikTok.

Incredible historical document here: Blinken says Israel’s PR is failing because social media allows people a direct look at what’s happening, shorn of the ability to mediate it, and it lands with emotional resonance. Romney then says yes, that’s why we moved to ban TikTok

In 20 years, people will be spending trillions of dollars every year on CO₂ removal (CDR) to get back to the climate we have today.

This country has arrested (at least) 2,300+ of it's own citizens so far on behalf of a foreign government.

So… we now have confirmation of an Israeli special ops vet running an infiltration operation into the UCLA encampment in coordination with the LA Sheriffs dept.

(And just to make it extremely embarrassing for everyone involved, a Dr Phil debrief immediately thereafter.)

Rubber bullets? Have you lost your mind UCLA? You are using rubber bullets against unarmed protestors who are *students* of your uni demanding you divest from genocide. You are attacking them to facilitate a quieter genocide. Fantastically gross legacy.

#Gaza #StudentIntifada

People put too much emphasis on Joe Biden's age and too little on his intellectual mediocrity, his arrogance, and his general lack of character.

Sen. Sanders: 'I suggest to CNN and maybe some of my colleagues here, maybe take your cameras, just for a moment, off of Columbia and UCLA . Maybe go to Gaza, and take your camera show us the emaciated children who are dying from malnutrition because of Netanyahu's policies.'

Biden to young people: go fuck yourselves, I’m sticking with Israel and its genocide.

Absolutely surreal, sad, politically suicidal, grotesque.

should we be concerned that the professors who are taking on the greatest risk of being beaten and arrested seem to be mostly historians

Ask yourself why reporters would need to be arrested for reporting on what's happening at UCLA? What dont they want the public to know? Asking as a UCLA alum class of 1996

Rewriting the narrative in front of us. Cops destroyed property. Cops broke down doors and windows. Cops are shooting people in the face with rubber bullets. Trespassing and not going to class are by definition not violent. Fuck this loser and all his loser friends!!!

WATCH-- Chris Hayes: It's easier to argue about what college kids are doing than to confront the human misery and destruction that's happening in the actual conflict which is, of course, the source of these protests.

Our union has been calling for a ceasefire for six months. This war is wrong, and this response against students and academic workers, many of them UAW members, is wrong.
