i find it really intriguing how the south’s student activism never gets as much media attention as other regions. day 28 of Vanderbilt’s encampment and i only read about it being the first university to start one YESTERDAY.

“what struck me most about those who are protesting is how long they waited. the restraint they showed. not the spontaneity, the restraint. they waited and waited for justice. and it didn’t come. no one talks about that...” - Toni Morrison

saw this reply & like—we actually SHOULD be looking into into how educ institutions are making money. I want an education for all funded by our tax dollars, not funded by the $$ institutions make by investing in militarism, war, prisons. That’s what currently IS biz as usual

Take a PARENTING PRO-TIP from an expert who’s also a mother & has done this work a long time💅🏽:

If your student is walking out of their University, demanding the institution divest from 🇮🇱, & putting their body & academic career at risk—

JOIN THEM!✊🏽
(Also, congratulations!🎉)

This week, you’ve been shown again that you actually don’t have the right to protest war and genocide. In cities run by Democrats, at liberal institutions, under the lesser evil president.

All eyes on UT Austin yall.
Students protesting for Gaza are bravely resisting a massive invasion by Texas State Troopers.
The world is waking up!

BREAKING: Governor Abbot has sent in State Troopers to the University of Texas

The students chant “You don’t scare us” and “Get off our campus”.

These students are true Americans

Extra important to remember today:

Student protesting across hundreds of universities about the same thing, and the universities are still holding on to suppression and suspension as the method for handling this. This isn’t going to bode well for them, and they have no idea.

Students at Cal poly are resisting against the police! They aren’t tolerating the cop riot the officers are trying to incite‼️power to all the students on the west coast! Also love the little bonks lol.

If you’re involved in any of these anti-genocide actions at universities, please make sure to save your emails, flyers and other papers so that in 50 years your university can proudly display them as part of their special collections

Pitting 'good/reasonable/peaceful' protesters vs 'bad/radical/violent' protesters is a classic counterinsurgency tactic used to divide & destroy movements. Don't fall for it.

[as I drop a 2000 pound bomb on a hospital] protesters of this have gone too far

The way Cardi ate this tf up needs to be seriously studied. 😮‍💨

sex is cool but have you ever witnessed a massive crowd of people successfully de-arrest someone

I stretched for about an hour today, like deep deep stretches. Fuck I’m getting old 😪 this is your reminder to stretch daily.
