Medics across the U.S. have been quietly injecting sedatives to subdue people detained by police.

Dozens of deaths reveal the practice carries risks, AP finds. apnews.com/article/invest…

I have video footage of SFPD doing this to an unhoused person in San Francisco

-Story gets out that Blinken is ignoring Israeli human rights abuses
-PR story appears that Biden admin is going to do something

What a perfect summary of this admin

the fascist-smelling 'gray' Balaji thing is going far (VC powergrab thought leader)

Very typical white South African thinking, circa 1985.

More liberal and progressive American Jewish institutions should follow the lead of groups like Bend the Arc: Jewish Action and take the principled, popular moral stance we need against out-of-touch leaders like Jonathan Greenblatt who don’t represent our community’s values!

a protest concern haver, just has so many puzzles about how 'divestment' 'actually wouldn't do the thing the people advocating for it would do'
somehow the money would still be there?

The way you know these protests don’t matter and the protestors can’t actually make any change is how much violence the state is using trying to make them stop.

Ffs man this civil penalty applies to the *app stores*, not Bytedance. If they don't divest, Apple and Google could face hundreds of billions in civil penalties. So, they're going to kick TikTok from the app store. That's how this works. Please all stop being dumb for engagement.

While this is objectively a good thing, it bears repeating that often this is the case - the cops know they don't have shit on these folks, and will arrest them anyway. It's meant to deter future organization, to derail movements financially, and stifle speech. Anyway, ACAB

Jonathan Greenblatt ADL Dear Jonathan Greenblatt,

I was saddened and shocked to hear you falsely call campus protesters 'proxies' of the Iranian government. You run an organization that warns about how defamation can lead to violence.

A clear and powerful rebuke of Greenblatt and the ADL, written with heart and fire, from a Jewish organization that is well-respected among left and liberal Jews far beyond anti-Zionist circles, as well as in the broader organizing ecosystem. We're witnessing a sea-change.

Mayor Wu was confronted today and all she had to say was that students should have removed tents at Emerson which was a “fire hazard” and that she will allow protests that stay within the city ordinance - including the one she pushed for that bans houseless people’s survival.

people really need to understand this: if a body at rest or in motion happens to be that of a cop, and their body comes into contact with your body, that contact, no matter who initiated it, whatever context or consequences, can be at minimum resisting and likely assault/battery

Refaat Alareer wrote a poem called “If I Die,” asking people to fly a kite in his name if he’s killed to give hope to orphaned children.

He wrote it for his daughter, Shaima.

Israel killed him. Months later Shaima had a baby.

Israel killed Shaima.

And her husband and baby.
