We need to understand, urgently, that we either divest from imperialism or we get fascism. The ruling class is eagerly ushering in fascism at home to defend their fascism abroad. And we have to reject all of it, right now.

Remember tonight, April 30 next time someone tells u NYC is some progressive leftist socialist city. #Columbia x #CUNY solidarity against this fascist state! #FreePalestine #DefundThePolice #Abolition

no coming back from this, no more empty platitudes about the lesser evil or democracy being on the line

Jeffrey J. Hall 🇯🇵🇺🇸 I've been noticing this bizarre and disturbing trend recently of people really trying to justify the a-bombings because people are unable to recognize two things can be bad at once and terrible separately. Like the 731 experiments and the a bombings are both atrocities

They should lose this honor.

I say this as a Columbia alum.

NYPD officials have spoken often recently of their intent to “control the narrarive” by building out their own media apparatus. In practice, that looks like barring reporters from public streets adjacent to a mass arrest action, then posting videos like this

These Zionists scumbags pretending they were “abandoned” as the state unleashes their police force to serve as a private militia to enforce their will

And they are still pretending to be victims

Unreal

Congress is going to hold hearings and blame the students and Biden is going to put out a press release saying he abhors how the students damaged the fists of those aligned with Israel.

'You're by yourself!' shouts one man from the pro-Israel mob before he and others grab an isolated protester, throw him to the ground, and start beating him.

After days of Biden repeatedly condemning campus protests as antisemitic, pro-Israel demonstrators have now violently attacked an encampment at UCLA, calling for a 'Second Nakba!'

Biden was warned his increasingly hostile rhetoric would fuel this kind of violence.

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.

Can’t wait for the president of Columbia University to tell my industry what’s good journalism at the Pulitzers next week. Try not to trip over any hogtied student journalists while collecting your award.

@ijbailey It's emotive logic, admittedly--it's an emotional moment!--but a lot has to do with a Democratic mayor sicc'ing the cops on peaceful protestors who are out there in the first place because of the morally repugnant and politically idiotic support Biden has given to the Gaza war.

Lifelong Democrat, author of a book on the threat of fascism, Virginia voter:

If this was happening during a Trump presidency CNN and MSNBC would be insisting that we’re living in a fascist dictatorship.

At the UCLA encampment on May 1st around 2:15 AM, individuals were hit by projectiles as Zionists reportedly threw tear gas, fireworks, and other chemical agents throughout the night.

I remember Giuliani using 9/11 as justification for a massive increase in the NYPD budget. I knew then all the military surplus equipment they were buying would never be used against actual terrorists but someday against us. People said if I don’t like it leave so I did.

Shocking footage shows several officers at Washington University St. Louis beating a professor, slamming him, and dragging his limp body.
SIUE history professor Steve Tamari is reportedly hospitalized with broken ribs and a broken hand.
One doctor told him he's lucky to be alive.

Imagine doing this to your own citizens, just so Israel can kill children…🇺🇸🇮🇱

Pro-Israel protester throws another firework *into* the encampment where people are. LAPD helicopter overhead.
