A friendly May Day reminder that cops aren’t workers and never have been, and that their continued inclusion in our unions (and of police “unions” within the AFL-CIO ✊) remains a stain on the entire labor movement. They’re just bosses with a license to kill teenvogue.com/story/what-to-…

Today, days after recent violent arrests of protesters on Emory’s campus, Gov. Kemp signed a bill that disallows charitable bail funds from bailing out more than 3 people per YEAR in Georgia. The bill also adds more protest-related non-bailable offenses. atlantanewsfirst.com/2024/05/01/gov…

We stand in solidarity with students calling for the preservation of human life and an end to the devastation in Gaza, and will continue the fight to end unconditional military aid to Israel and establish a lasting ceasefire.

Is Georgia State University really making graduates take off kuffiyehs? If so this is unacceptable! My culture is not a crime.

Best way to stop the protests would be for Biden to cut off funding for Israel's genocidal war and impose a ceasefire

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.

Oof this right here

A very surefire way to ensure that students and young people will never vote for your party again is by unleashing a paramilitary force against their friends.

Y’all. This is the notice of suspension that one of the UGA students received. I have redacted their name. But take a note of the timestamp. Email sent at 5:09 PM, they have to contact her office by 5:10 PM, or else they are suspended at 5:11 PM. You can’t make this up. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Incredible sights at UT Austin as the growing protest marches against retreating (and mace wielding) cops, to retake the south lawn they were forced from earlier. Protests will not stop until UT divests from all interests in Israel. Hartzell and Abbot can't intimidate us.

From #UGA organizers: 16 arrested this morning at Georgia’s solidarity encampment for Palestine. If you can, come to the Clarke County jail at 10:30a. Please tell professors and faculty to support the students and Athens community members arrested for peacefully protesting.

From livestream of arrests hardly an hour after the University of Georgia Gaza Solidarity Encampment went up: #UGA Chief of Police Jeff Clark seen here pulling a protester to the ground by the hoodie. Students were told they were criminally trespassing on their own campus.

the connection between cop city and palestine is not just like a discursive 'pivot' that people are making. it's not rhetoric or like a vague 'everything is connected' platitude. these are direct, material, links.

not to detract from how significant this at all but in this context it is especially important to include that hawai’i is a sovereign nation that was overthrown in an illegal coup and has remained under illegal military occupation by the US government for over 130 years

Middle East Eye Here’s Emory University economics professor Caroline Fohlin knocked to the ground with her head on the concrete. Her glasses are thrown off. She shouts “I’m a professor”
