why do they have this military vehicle to begin with

A reminder that 'Military-Aged Males' as a counterinsurgency category usually encompasses 14-65 year old men. Israel will claim they are all Hamas as it has done thus far in order to pretend it has a 'proportionate' combatant-civilian ratio (I feel sick as I type this).

“this does not help your cause” - guy who hates you and your cause

And here you can see officers entering an academic building with their weapons drawn, in response to college students protesting their tax & tuition dollars contributing to a plausible genocide

this is all to…keep investing in israel?

a perfect demonstration of what free speech means to republicans. demanding the deployment riot police against the anti genocide protestors, while crying about a gag order against trump.

truly devastating how fragile some of yalls staunchly held principles are. the first amendment warriors. the democracy preachers. the freedom cherishers. every moral fiber eaten alive, first by thousands of dead children in gaza then by thousands of protesting kids in the us

If this was Russia, China, or Iran the US would be imposing sanctions for their human rights abuses and censorship.

Hundreds of heavily militarized police to crack down on people protesting the genocide our government is arming and funding.

If you’re not horrified about an army of cops being sent to fuck up a bunch of, among other backgrounds, Jewish students, then you don’t actually care about the safety of Jewish people. You’re also on the profoundly wrong side of history.

All these grown ass men with full body armor, weapons and military vehicles against kids with signs and a real cause. Every last one of those NYPD entering campus is an embarrassment to the city and the country. Weak, stupid, followers who deserve neither a salary nor any

A question I'd ask the American political elite is how many students and professors are you willing to beat into a pulp in order to shield Israel from perfectly legitimate criticism based on widely shared principles?

Bidenism is essentially passing some good (but not transformational) policies domestically while funding and supporting obscene, barbaric acts abroad. Perhaps he sees this as an improvement from the past, where U.S. troops were sent to directly do the killing vs funding another

If this were in Russia or Iran -- a police force of this size deployed against students protesting the state's war policies -- it'd be universally denounced as evil tyranny.

The problem for the protesters is they chose the one issue that could provoke police force of this kind:

Columbia's web page discussing its regret for calling in police to arrest students in 1968 is displaying a warning about limited access due to NYPD on campus arresting students.

May Columbia never live this down.

So much talk about Project 2025 when Project 2024 is right here and it is monstrous. This night is but one piece.

Tyranny is tyranny. You cannot excuse it because your preferred political party is the one building and backing the police state this time.

In a country where children go hungry, people die unhoused and libraries are only open part time, this is where our resources go

This is what the violence we're seeing on campuses is designed to defend.

And I just walked up to her and said Hey Julia it’s Club Louis Dreyfus

these are fucking students
