Shocking footage shows several officers at Washington University St. Louis beating a professor, slamming him, and dragging his limp body.
SIUE history professor Steve Tamari is reportedly hospitalized with broken ribs and a broken hand.
One doctor told him he's lucky to be alive.

We're just shocked that Grady lied to us about Rundo trying to flee the country, based on his track record of trying to flee the country, the day after Grady tried (and failed) to help him flee the country.

I've covered campus activism since the late 90s. Nothing that's happening on campuses now -- sit ins, building takeovers, encampments -- is at all outside the standard vernacular of student protest.

What's unusual is administrators calling in riot cops on their own students

👀 The person spreading the booking photos of the UNM solidarity occupation attack from their account @/Bunny8675309, is Lora F. Butler. A 61 y/o resident of the Enchanted Park area Abq.

Hey Portland, remember when the Nazi ship came to town and the Portland police arrested and jailed the protest organizers until the Nazis left town? The city officials welcomed Nazis and held parades and events while squashing the voices of people opposed to fascism.

Very moving counter-narrative to all the cynical spin doctors dominating the story right now.

In particular, Professor Nadia Abu El-Haj gives an interview at 5 min that cuts through all the noise.

& lefty friends & comrades new to the whole Christian Zionist thing: They've been at this a long time. They know how to weaponize unforced errors. Insisting that there's NO antisemitism, besides being a purity narrative (more of a fascist thing, anyway), is a slow-pitch softball.

Israeli scholar of the Holocaust Omer Bartov عومر بَرتوف עמר ברטוב argues that accusations of antisemitism levied at campus protests against Israel's occupation of Palestine are disingenuous.

“There’s nothing threatening about opposing occupation or oppression.'

Young people often act as society’s conscience when our collective hearts have grown hard.

You can learn a lot about someone by how they react to these young people disturbing their hard-hearted sensibilities.

The kids are alright. Let’s listen to them.

#CeaseFire

Some of yal are more upset at student protesters

Than a military that killed over 14k+ children with your money

Lot of stern talk abt the rules & ethics of the encampments on broadcast news this morning, like the pundits were refs debating whether a ball was in-bounds.

Not a lot of talk abt the rules or ethics of genocide. You can't discuss one w/out the other.

This isn't a game.

Around 3:00AM at 'Hind's Hall,' Columbia students chant:
'Went down to Columbia
And I took back what they stole from me
Took back my dignity
Took back my humanity
Now they're under our feet, under our feet
under our feet, under our feet
Ain't gonna let no system walk all over me'

Portland State University was taken over and doors have been barricaded. #FreeGaza painted on 3rd story windows

Before the cops showed up in Richmond...

Anddd Gaza Solidarity Encampment also up at Lewis & Clark College in Portland!

The Evangelical Christian Nationalist project is inexorably intertwined w the Zionist project. It is apocalyptic, it inverts the persecution narrative, it is authoritarian, bigoted & deeply cultic.

This is what we are fighting - ecstatic apocalypticism driven by 'visions'

When I was a kid, the Israeli army invaded all Palestinian cities in the West Bank including Nablus where we lived.

They would impose days-long curfews where nobody is allowed to leave their house or even look out of a window.

With no electricity, everything in the fridge goes
