UC Santa Cruz Encampment finally up :)

Faculty rally at 116 and Amsterdam at the gates of Columbia U rn, which is locked down today.

“Wait until the numbers come put from One Police Plaza,” said Rashid Khalidi, a Columbia professor, calling the claims of outside agitators “lies”. “They were all students.”

President Biden Then why do you oppose free, universal mental healthcare?

'protests don't do anything' then why do they have to mobilize 3 wings of the military to crush them

This is the most insane segment of mainstream agitprop I've ever seen from a network other than Fox News. In every image she shows, the perpetrators of actual violence are the cops or pro-Israel counter-protesters. And the comparison to 1930s Germany is jaw-dropping.

There are ways in which this harkens back to Europe in the 1930s and they are not flattering to people like Dana Bash

Increasingly worried about the future of Holocaust education. How many young will see the Shoah's invocation in the recent weeks and conclude that its legacy is only for repression?

A Zionist mob beat pro Palestinian peace protesters to a pulp, screamed the N word, called for another Nakba, fired explosives into the peace crowd, and sprayed students with chemical agents last night. This is how pro-Zionist journalists cover campus politics:

large crowd outside chanting “we are all SJP”. fordham admin has denied students the ability to form an sjp chapter since 2017.

People dismissing student activism as trendy and unserious never grapple with the fact that students are uniquely positioned in society to speak out where older adults with employment contracts, dependents, and mortgages cannot. Students can voice more broadly held sentiments.

I got it. You know? I knew we were here. I didn’t need anyone to tell me. But watching it happen tonight I really understood. It hit me like it hasn’t before, for some reason. Fascism is here. We have to do everything we can to destroy it

oh so she really thinks there is going to be a commencement ceremony

Columbia University President Minouche Shafik should be ashamed of herself. Columbia admin is morally bankrupt. Y’all are willing to let students get attacked by NYPD to please donors and trustees. There is no coming back from this.

CALL FOR SUPPORT/SUPPLIES AT JAIL SUPPORT: if folks are physically or financially able to help get coolers with ice to 1 Police Plaza in Manhattan for food and drink storage, that’s the main thing needed. also water dispensers! PLEASE SHARE.

splattered nypd bus to shuttle off fordham students—fitting for a police force as brutal as the NYPD.

NOW: Staff are now putting up tarps to cover the windows surrounding the encampment at Fordham

incredibly grateful to see some of my former professors outside supporting students. we stand on the shoulders of giants.

nypd vans surrounding the school—unclear which exit students will be led though if/when arrested. student protesters everywhere. nypd choppers in the air.

The Wisconsin homies are back at it!!!!

.@uwmadison Professor Samer Alatout is back at the protest. He said he was detained and cited and police inflicted the gash on his head. He said police are “singling out” people of color.

“I saw the police pointing at me and saying ‘we want him,’” Alatout told me.
