Tomorrow Congress is holding more hearings on whether Jewish students feel safe enough, while tonight, Zionist protestors at UCLA are launching fireworks directly into the Palestine encampment, tearing down camp infrastructure & attacking students

Every single person has an opportunity to be the cog in the wheel that refuses to comply. Resist!

ccny campus magazine livestream is genuinely incredible, they’re reading out police badge numbers + names and getting people in the chat to search complaints filed against them, then reading the complaints back out loud to the cops 😭

NYPD forcibly removed hijabs from multiple muslim columbia students in jail, we kept chanting “let her wear her hijab” over and over from inside our cells. one of them was told to shut up by an officer when she demanded to get back her hijab. columbia unleashed these pigs on us.

Love it when academics publish research on the effects of police killings on sleep quality (highly implausible stuff that no one asked for anyway) while publicly cheering on police repression of anti genocide protesters

Those fascist mobs in UCLA - to whom violence against encampment protesters has clearly been outsourced by the police - are lynch mobs. The footage is fkn insane.

The NYPD has also begun encrypting their radio transmissions.

When the police and universities block the press, but the head of the NYPD’s press office rolls up to scene on the roof of an MRAP truck, the narrative will only be controlled by NYPD NEWS

People dismissing student activism as trendy and unserious never grapple with the fact that students are uniquely positioned in society to speak out where older adults with employment contracts, dependents, and mortgages cannot. Students can voice more broadly held sentiments.

One difference between this building at Columbia and the US Capitol is that the Capitol happens to be the seat of Congress, the national legislature of the United States, which was, at the time, certifying the results of an election those who stormed the Capitol wanted to void.

Amazing how many people in this country have internalized the idea that if you break the law, you don't just get arrested, but that police have the right to beat the shit out of you in the process, tase you, break your bones.

I think the moral content of a protest matters, I think it’s the single most important thing actually, and the elaborate media pseudo debates about tactics, electoral impact etc—where we discuss everything but the moral content—is because the righteousness of the cause is obvious

Last night at CCNY was the first time since Cairo in 2011 — when we faced off against a diff US funded dictatorship— that Id seen that many police, behave with that much disdain & impunity. There like here, the police caused/brought the violence to a peaceful protest. Defund now.

canadian universities for the most part: 'students, go be the change you want to see in the world! fight injustice! stand up for what's right! use your education to critically think about the world around you'

also canadian universities this week: 'no, very much not like that.'

Many students getting draconian charges include “hate crimes” against COPS!

We warned this would happen after Biden used J6 NOT to focus on WHITE terror, but to expand “Domestic Violent Extremist” definition to include ppl protesting POLICE (after George Floyd Uprising, no less)

Nightmarish. Higher ed is going to be permanently changed by going down this path. A couple weeks ago, this was a complete aberration for a university

In a country where children go hungry, people die unhoused and libraries are only open part time, this is where our resources go

NOW: The situation at CCNY has rapidly spiraled out of control

Protesters tried to break through the barricades which led to absolute chaos breaking out

People thrown to the ground and journalists (including me) were hit and shoved by officers in the melee

Just a reminder that Germany kicked off the Holocaust by rendering all Jewish Germans stateless. They had no passports and no travel papers, so they were either trapped in place or had to rely on illegal ways to escape the mass murder.

When Germany renders people stateless --…

Again and again, the only violence we see at these protests has been from cops ordered to assault students, faculty, and staff by craven administrators.

Cops off our campuses, full stop!
