interesting how this photo Northeastern U. is using to celebrate its recent grads only includes two of the three flags this student was waving

Full BWC video published by NYPD of their 7-minute breach of multiple layers of barricades created by student protestors.

They broke a window during their raid, which per pundits/pols is an egregious act of terrorism/violence/lawlessness, btw.

LA cops sat back and watched as the pro-Israel mob attacked the encampment two nights ago. Last night, they attacked it themselves.

these guys are the biggest marks in history

shitty middlebrow pundits love to harp about a lack of “nuance” from college kids angry they see mangled corpses of Palestinians on their TL every day but again, these pundits do not view supporting the killing of 17,000+ Palestinian children as an extremist or hardline position

It's my understanding that cops are trained to shoot these munitions at the ground; the bounce up into legs and ankles is the intended design. Do they ever do this? No. Many folks have lost eyes and retained permanent scars from being struck by these at point blank range

Two nights ago but didn't make the same headlines:

VIDEO OF YALE ARRESTS:

Watch student Craig Birckhead-Morton, holding his own birthday cake, calmly approach YPD for clarity on where crowd should disperse.

YPD then arrests him

A student marshal in an orange vest approaches, saying “we are dispersing.”
Then YPD arrests her too

The fighting is finally over. It looks like the camp on the ucla campus looks like it was hit by a tornado. The police didn’t even clean, they just broke the protesters things.

Police attacked the crowd to get them to move out of the way of the prison bus with those arrested today. Lots of flash bangs and less lethals launched just now at the UCLA campus. Along with about 3-5 new arrests.

This guy and Rick Scott want to be president SO badly but neither knows how to hide the fact that they’re some sort of eel creature masquerading as human

Not the point but Tom Cotton is so shockingly bad at talking

BREAKING @columbia AAUP calls for a vote of no confidence in Pres. Shafik and the whole university administration

This is exactly what’s making any normal observer feel insane.
A pro-Israel mob attacked these kids with slurs, fists, mace, and fireworks. Police watched for HOURS & did nothing.
A day later, police instead bombard *them* with rubber bullets & flashbangs.
(All in a “blue” state)

Not the main point re: Biden but the only 'commencement that's been canceled' was by a university that didn't want its Muslim-American valedictorian to be heard, not by any protesters

NYPD found a way to report their claims of 'outside agitators' at Columbia

- add arrests from City College, a separate public uni with open campus

- count street arrests

- no info on 'affiliation' meaning. faculty, alumni?

- no info on Hamilton Hall arrests, their main claim

People put too much emphasis on Joe Biden's age and too little on his intellectual mediocrity, his arrogance, and his general lack of character.

Fewer than half of all NYPD officers live in NYC and only 25% of LAPD officers live in LA. But keep talking about “outside agitators” coming onto campus to do violence.

.@TheAppeal conducted an investigation that revealed that incarcerated people in many states are charged significantly more for essential items than those outside prison, even though they typically earn pennies an hour — or no wages at all. bit.ly/4aUY2Ju
