Palestinians have uncovered 700 more bodies of people the IDF killed and piled into mass graves.

Instead of ending their support for this genocide, the US government and American universities are relying on the Israeli-trained police to fire pepper balls at students.

CONFIRMED: The person being tased was clearly marked as a street medic.

Police entered the crowd to make another arrest. The crowd collapsed on the attempted arrestee and police left empty handed.

I have a feeling that this was a tactical mistake by APD and GSP.

Atlanta has a lot of practice navigating protest suppression tactics. Escalating and creating chaos like this so early could create new opportunities for autonomous action.

Oop. Looks like the messaging backfired.

Protesters at the gaza solidarity/stop cop city encampment at emory university are marching now

This is a strange way to say, “We invited Georgia State Patrol to our campus and they immediately fired tear gas and rubber bullets at our students.”

GSP is also the police agency who killed forest defender, Manuel “Tortuguita” Terán while they occupied a forest to protest Cop City in Atlanta.

Georgia State Patrol (GSP) and Atlanta Police Department (APD) leaders have a training program with Israeli Police (IOF).

Today, GSP deployed tear gas, rubber bullets, and tasers on Emory University students within the FIRST THREE HOURS of Emory’s Gaza solidarity encampment.

Atlanta, where the first Cop City is under construction, is unsurprisingly the first place where chemical agents have been deployed against a Gaza Solidarity encampment.

Report from Atlanta: Emory University protestors are swarming police every time campus security & APD approach the encampment.

Receiving reports that Georgia State Patrol—the agency who killed Tortuguita with 14 shots during a previous occupation in Atlanta—has already been called to Emory’s campus.

Working on confirmation.

Within the first 3 hours of the occupation, Emory has issued a “final warning” to protesters.

The protesters are now asking the public to call-in and demand that police stand down.

Emory is already using fear and malinformation in an attempt to discourage more students joining the occupation.

What a fantastic graphic from AJ+, and more have already been set up.

This feels like an important time to remind everyone that edu/corp wifi networks can tell how many people are in a given area and even triangulate them to get physical location in many cases. EVEN IF you’re not/have never connected to the network.

BREAKING: Community members in Atlanta launched a Gaza solidarity encampment at Emory University, explicitly rejecting separation from 'non-student' community members, and asking everyone to join them.

The occupation includes students across all Atlanta universities and non-students are explicitly invited.

“We are occupying Emory, not because it is the only institution that is complicit in genocide and police militarization, but because its ties are the strongest,” they said.

BREAKING—Protesters in Atlanta have established an encampment in the Emory quad to demand that the university divest from Israeli apartheid and the “Cop City” project.

Their efforts join the movement of anti-genocide protest encampments on campuses across the country.

TWO mass graves found in one week. Both from hospitals. Both with bodies handcuffed and in scrubs. Let that sink in.
