Compare this to the strangling, tackling, beating, kettling, etc. of student and faculty protesting against genocide

Sometimes, I drop links like these and everyone acts like I am making it up despite seeing it in front of them. I do not know how to feel about the instant cognitive shut downs people have when it comes to discussion the relationship between the US and Israel.

Solidarity with students, faculty, and community members demonstrating at Saint Louis University tonight🇵🇸✊🏾

This is when they first came at us and immediately targeted, injured and arrested Samer Alatout. You can see me try to help up an older community member who was standing with us.

At this point we need to be sending emails to the PSU President Ann Cudd demanding better treatment + protection for our protestors, DEMANDING law enforcement not be invited + dismissed.

[email protected] — EMAIL !

Protestors in the library have been allowing business as usual.

abc news shows cops standing next to zionists. meanwhile students got maced.

Holy SHIT.

For those who don't know, Sami Schalk is an incredible Black, queer, and disabled tenured professor. Her academic institution should be protecting her and her students, not sending cops to brutalize her.

looks like a guy was walking his dog in the area where police were attacking students, and the cops stole his dog?!?

CW: Police violence

I’m home. I’m significantly bruised, in a lot of pain & my shoulder is sprained. I’ve been told to return to the hospital if certain things happen which might be signs of internal damage, esp from the strangulation which you can see briefly in the video here

I need you to think about the scenarios that they are training for.

Our own communities need to make sure they as prepared for the violence these people seek to enact on others.

Saw a liquor store today with a “no masks” sign… I hope this doesn’t become the norm

You know why some of the best organizers I know are successful at what they do and within their communities? They don't look at every interaction as a gotcha, a conversion tool, or a metric to determine who is Good and who is Bad.

eofallthings Sometimes you have to engage with people who don’t feel the same as you do to make change happen…
