What more is there to say? The line was supposed to be “vote Dem or get fascism” but under Biden we have military cops gassing kids all across the US. The majority of the country is appalled by genocide in Gaza and yet this government is pretending that view is criminal.

The way WKCR journalists are handling copaganda (insisting on confirmation and verification before repeating tropes and rumors) versus the way CNN is not only uncritically repeating police statements but marveling at their tactics is truly something to behold.

I saw everything with my two eyes tonight, recorded and photographed it, and if anyone tries to both-sides what happened at UCLA tonight they are a fucking hack.

Where to begin? I can barely get out of bed after witnessing that coast-to-coast orgy of violence last night. I am sick with grief and disgust after seeing the harm most universities, their presidents and many pundits will gleefully unleash on our precious, principled students.

OK, expect UCLA faculty and staff on the front lines soon, in all our grey-haired, arthritic splendor. We're slow, but we get there.

Employers should make it clear to students:

Thank you for being the voice for those that cannot speak, the strength for those who cannot fight, and the hope for those who have lost theirs.

Thank you for your courage, your voice, and your commitment to making a difference.

The mayor of NYC sent hundreds of NYPD officers to Columbia University to break up a student protest against the war in Gaza.

Then he smeared my 63-year-old mother, who lost dozens of family members in Gaza, to justify it.

Hey AFL-CIO ✊! Perhaps it's time to drop your cop unions. Just a thought.

Compiled my thoughts for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

“Students are learning. We owe it to them to teach them, not repress them...This is a red line we have to draw. We’ve failed them at every turn. We should refuse to fail them again.”

Gaza, You are Loved. ❤️❤️❤️🫶🙏💫🎊

The tide is turning, revealing the harsh reality of apartheid and genocide faced by Palestinians. This awakening extends beyond average Americans to Palestinians themselves, who now see that President Biden doesn't reflect the majority sentiment of American foreign policy, esp 4 students

Even if police turn off the cameras, history is watching as we persecute peaceful protestors. Future generations will ask us why we criminalized those fighting for peace and justice instead of ending Netanyahu's war. The 300 students violently arrested are our children. They are…

The whole point of Palestine accepting the Court's jurisdiction is that it is no longer up to Palestine whether, when, or against whom the Prosecutor brings charges.

If Israel wants to bankrupt the PA then it should find another excuse.

Columbia faculty are still locked out of our campus the day after NYPD violently stormed a building occupied by student protestors. Today we took to the streets. Here is Prof Rashid Khalidi on the shameful repression of protest. fsjp-cbt

#CHICAGO : Join the #MarchOnTheDNC coalition on Fri, May 3rd 6 PM at Union Park for our #MayDay2024 Rally!

Stand up for justice & celebrate #InternationalWorkersDay alongside us as we demand for the end of the U.S backed genocide in #Gaza & to defend labor and immigrant rights!

We out here—university teachers—refusing the authoritarian police state created at Columbia & someone in faculty housing is attempting to drown out our demonstration by playing music, inc. the national anthem. The colonial poetry of it all. #yourmusicsucks #copsoffcampus 🍉

Ok….so.. We have members of congress demanding a militarized DC police force disband a peaceful campus protest against a war on a civilian population underwritten by our tax dollars. And 99% of the media is egging this on. Just wanted to make sure I had that right before I plotz

The fuck is this. It's sickening enough that this is happening, but making a little video with some crappy beat to congratulate yourselves is just

The police presence we saw last night at Columbia and City College was hostile, overwhelming, and resulted in nearly 300 arrests.

Reports suggest that the NYPD pepper sprayed, threw to the ground, and even drew weapons on students.

This is deplorable.
