The first procedural hearing for the fed. lawsuit Momodou ✊🏿 filed March 15 concluded in Syracuse about 30 minutes ago. About 150 people showed. Two over flow rooms were filled. Eric Lee, lead counsel on the case and Taal’s lawyer, speaks to the crowd outside court house.

Update: Eid Mubarak Long live the student intifada!

Even before his lawsuit, Cornell University student Momodou Taal suspected that he was going to be a target under the Trump administration. “I felt more and more as the lawsuit progressed that I was gambling with my freedom.” bit.ly/3Ryx5Dh

Understand: the sharpening of repression is only a distraction from the genocide. Know: Retreating into the institution is not safety. Refusal to act is not safety. Sitting quietly for your finals is not safety. These betrayals will not save you from imperial violence.

Yesterday Cornell University finally expunged my disciplinary record for taking part in a pro-Palestine protest after - I was forced into hiding for 3 months, self-deported from the US, and had my visa revoked. B*st*rds.
