I am watching a toddler die on a table in a field hospital in Rafah with half her face blown apart while listening to college students fight tears reporting on a police assault on their campus for protesting that, and I feel like I am losing my fucking mind.

I don’t ever want to hear anything about special snowflake young people again. These children are facing down situations that would make the most condescending “grown ups in the room” shit their pants. Put some respect on their names! NEOWWW

Has anyone built a calculator for estimating overtime costs based on size / type of police deployment? The NYPD probably spent enough public money last night to pay for libraries being open on Sundays for a year.

signal b00st pls 🚨🚨🚨

Friends, please, please amplify. The NYPD are now raiding City College. Reports are hundreds of cops. Please, I know that what happened at Columbia tonight is sickening--but this is Part II. And our @cuny students are largely working class students of color.

'This generation of youth have spent their entire lives in fear of having guns pointed at them in schools; what a disgrace for America that is now their own schools that are pointing the guns at them.'

--Josh Paul, former Director, US Department of State (resigned in protest)

this is all to…keep investing in israel?

TO BE CLEAR, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY HAS CALLED THE COPS ONTO ITS OWN STUDENTS FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO WEEKS, ON THE 56TH ANNIVERSARY OF WHEN THEY LAST CALLED THE POLICE ONTO CAMPUS TO ARREST OVER 700 PROTESTING THE VIETNAM WAR & HARLEM GENTRIFICATION ON APRIL 30TH, 1968

the reporters on WKCR sound so scared. they’re so young.

this is actually fucking terrifying

For anyone who is new to this (or under 30), ten years ago the idea of huge Palestinian solidarity encampments spreading over more than 100 US college campuses would have been entirely outside the range of political possibility.

I wish we lived in a world where Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez challenging AIPAC and the rest of the lobby, calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, and showing up at a protest encampment was politically opportunistic.

Caroline Fohlin, the Emory professor of economics seen on video being thrown to the ground and handcuffed by an Emory police officer for expressing concern at the violent arrest of a protester on campus, was jailed for 11 hours and charged with... Battery Against Police Officer

The Emory University president says protestors were “not affiliated with Emory.” My colleagues who were on campus at 8 am today saw Emory students protesting peacefully on their own campus. The admin called GA cops on 19 yr olds.

Really important to remember as well, though, that some campuses are just letting their encampments continue without interference, and that at those campuses everything generally seems to be entirely fine.

You don’t know what it feels like seeing the footage and bodies of these mass graves not knowing if maybe one of them are the unidentified bodies of your cousins who’ve been missing from khan Younis for 3 months. I hope you never have to know this feeling.

just want to name that the public school kids are the ones most successfully physically pushing out cops from their encampments from Humboldt to CUNY
