Your reminder that it was Marsha P Johnson, Miss Major and the queers who beat the NYPDs ass for five straight days to give us many of the LGBTQ rights you enjoy today

Whether at CUNY, Columbia, or elsewhere around the country, the more the police repress our movements the more our movements will grow. You cannot tell people they cannot protest genocide. Hundreds of thousands of students are being radicalized in real time.

Doesn’t seem like a total accident that the NYPD raids on students at Columbia and CCNY are happening at the same time that Rafah is under brutal siege

Don Lemon MLK focused on illegally disrupting restaurants, churches, libraries, and more with sit ins, intending to overwhelm local jails. The march from Selma to Montgomery, as well as the March on Washington, relied heavily on blocking traffic while marching. jcls.org/2022/01/18/mlk….

Just watch the first two minutes. You hear tasers going off; students are screaming throughout. They are thrown to the ground, assaulted.

We see the police throw students down the stairs as the cops also push away press.

This video is just 5 minutes of what happened tonight.

In 1968, 100 Black students at Northwestern famously occupied their campus Bursar’s office for 38 hours. They were protesting racism and discrimination.

Too many of y’all don’t know the history of civil rights and student movements.

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.

They are mass arresting @cuny students in the middle of the night, while everyone is transfixed with the horrors at Columbia.

Friends, please, please amplify. The NYPD are now raiding City College. Reports are hundreds of cops. Please, I know that what happened at Columbia tonight is sickening--but this is Part II. And our @cuny students are largely working class students of color.

Student Radio: Student journalists are finally being allowed to leave Pulitzer Hall. 'Also it's Casey's birthday he just turned 20!'

I love them.

As this horrific evening comes to an end, a reminder that as we speak and tweet from the belly of the beast, Israel is still planning a ground invasion of Rafah, where 1.5 million displaced Palestinians were told they would be safe. aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/…
