Reminder that many of the 1800’s and 1900’s Jim Crow laws in Southern states have still NOT been fully repealed, and so these laws continue to exclude (disproportionately Black) people from elections and other aspects of life today.

Heavy police crackdown on NYU students and faculty. Lots of people arrested !! Close friends who are faculty protecting the protest site have also been arrested!! #palestine #nyu4palestine spread the word!

The corporate takeover of universities and their research documented in this report ought to trouble us far more than a bunch of pro-Palestinian students staging a sit in on a campus lawn. But I doubt we'll ever get a Congressional hearing on it.

I’ve heard:

“The Columbia AAUP held an emergency meeting today, called on the university to drop charges and reinstate the students.

They are organizing to move classes off campus Monday, boycotting graduation, and moving to vote no confidence in the president.'

Good.

Go Cuse!!!! 🍊🍊🍊
