Is the person breathing? Is the person responding to their environment? If yes to these questions, don't go slapping them with Narcan. Being high, even high af ≠ an overdose An overdose means the person is: * Unresponsive * Not adequately breathing

UW students rallying at UW, say they won't leave until there is a "Free Palestine"

I AM NOT A LAWYER, AND THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE if you're going to a protest where you expect to get arrested it's extremely important to have arrest training. this thread will not be as useful as a proper training, but i can offer a few tips:

When you’ve lost the Antarctic researchers

Those who mock student protestors saying "they couldn't find Gaza on a map" should do a reality check on why they care so much about the geography and not the people being eliminated in a GENOCIDE.

Our neighbors die of exposure living on the street so that these fascist paramilitaries can wear $2000 helmets while they terrorize communities.

Just as a reminder to students. This is how your institutions will respond to you when you question their authority and threaten their existing power structures. You asked for your academic institutions to divest from warfare and they sent their boots after you.

Worker power!

As student protestors are violently attacked, we're wondering how brave those men attacking would be if the minorities there were prepared to defend themselves. It's not a meme folks...arm minorities everywhere!

Congratulations to student organizers at the Evergreen State College’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment who were able to secure a definite timeline for divestment at the institution! Now let’s hold the administration to its word, and let’s expand this win nationwide! ✊ 🇵🇸

This May Day we’re seeing efforts for immigrant workers, workers in Palestine, healthcare workers, etc. But let’s look to a future May Day. UAW President Shawn Fain made the call for a General Strike May Day 2028.

Happy May Day!

It is actually not inconsistent with being a police abolitionist to point out that police show deference to fascist actors and do nothing when they commit assaults.

The Boy Scouts-affiliated Explorer Program has seen more than 200 documented cases of sexual abuse, primarily against teen girls. A famous case in the 2000s involved an SPD officer grooming an intern and attempting to force a kiss. He was never fired.

NEW: An SPD cop violated policy when he called his Chinese-American neighbor a racial slur. Now Chief of Police Adrian diaz needs to decide on disciplinary action. Plus, the cop gave some wild quote in the OPA interview. tinyurl.com/2sd9cmnm

Damn looks like cops are the school shooters

Also a reminder that these people were armed. Not passive recipients of fascist attacks.

In honor of StFUF: Hey students! If you happen to get arrested at a protest, do yourself a favor. Don't talk to the police and don't talk to reporters who stick cameras in your faces. "I'm invoking my right to remain silent and the right to speak with an attorney."

BREAKING: Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, becomes the first university in the U.S. to fully divest from Israel. This was Rachel Corrie’s school.

Downtown accounts for about 10% of Seattle’s population and 90% of the focus of elected officials. Probably has nothing to do with the massive amount of money commercial real estate pumps into their campaigns
