ccny campus magazine livestream is genuinely incredible, they’re reading out police badge numbers + names and getting people in the chat to search complaints filed against them, then reading the complaints back out loud to the cops 😭

So...back in 1968. We stood as a student body during the speech of (?) at the chapel, left and took over the admin building. I occupied the dean's office (go figure, future) and got to use the electronic ball IBM. As I recall, the sheriff put the padlocks on the outside doors 1/

Kids’ workshop at the CCNY Gaza Solidarity Encampment today ❣️

lots to say/too much happening to string together, but having visited several encampments, i can tell you i've seen them masked up, dancing or studying, making art, giving each other food, covid tests, sharing sunscreen, water, brushes. they want to build a different world

Cities let us preserve forest. Fertilizer lets us preserve prairie. Growth lets us live lighter on the land. It was the light bulb that saved the whale.

Around #UTAustin today

This from CCNY president is nothing short of slander: “there's a reckless disregard…for the welfare of this community, including the underage children that are sometimes present in the encampment.”

My 9 month old was met with such love & community that it brought me to tears.

call this the rule of uvalde: the magnitude of an american police response is inversely proportional to the threat. the safer it is, more cops will march in faster and do more; the more dangerous it is, fewer cops will go in slower and do less.

some western leftists: “students’ campus revolts don’t do anything for the class struggle”

Palestinian farm workers’ union and PFLP’s Mayday statements today:

We teach our students that history is contingent. That the world can be otherwise. And then our employers send in the police to beat that lesson out of them.

the Columbia student reporter broadcast on WKCR right now is some of the best and most harrowing live radio reporting I've ever heard. so many people are tuning in that they're having trouble with the web livestream, but if you can listen on FM, go do that now.

lol it's not lost on me that more arrests are being made at these college campuses than on January 6th. 🤷🏿‍♀️

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.

All of this is happening to defend universities' right to invest in a genocide without students being mad at them

this is going to radicalize a generation towards police abolition and towards university abolition, we will remember the date april 30, 2024.

Watching older putatively progressive men and women metamorphosis into supporters of hippie-punching by police and university officials is a helluva thing.

As an official old, I’m here to testify that such a transition is a choice and not a matter of age.

i truly believe this will only lead to more encampments, more militance, more radicalized students, and a more politicized public. free palestine.

Isn't it awful to read this tweet and have no idea which college or university this person teaches at because it could be almost anywhere? This is all of us now.

April 30. On this day 1968, it is the 56th anniversary of the occupation of hamilton hall and other buildings. These images are lionized on columbia’s website.

Increasingly clear that the survival of the human race depends on a broad-based coalition of young people joining together to overthrow the bipartisan political coalition of elites whose sole aim is destroying their lives.
