idk what's worse: that admin could be stupid enough to believe that this wouldn't happen, or that admin is evil enough to make the assessment to authorize cops on campus being fully aware of the consequences.

luv 2 bee crying at my desk bc my comrades are fucking badasses and go so fucking hard for palestine

Following UCLA Faculty for Justice in Palestine's call for a suspension of instructional labor today (Thurs 5/2), UCLA RnFDU is calling for all ASEs to engage immediately in a one-day work stoppage/sick out. Do not come to work today.

Jail support butterfly. Mother Nature is with us ❤️🦋🇵🇸

“As workers, we have more in common with our Palestinian siblings who are healthcare workers, librarians, students, retail workers, cab drivers, lawyers, social workers, legal advocates, educators, than we do with the US politicians who throw working class people under the bus…

🚨 BREAKING: Today ED Civil Rights announced Columbia University is under federal investigation for anti-Palestinian racism, including by inviting NYPD officers in riot gear to arrest Palestinian and associated students protesting Israel’s genocide in Gaza. 🧵

UAW Shawn Fain A statement doesn’t protect us. It doesn’t help us get to a real permanent ceasefire aka an end to the occupation. If we want this violence to stop, we actually have to act, not just talk. Shawn Fain

We are attacked by our bosses, by police, by congress, by university admins for uniting to end this occupation and genocide of Palestinians. If our UAW leadership doesn’t take action to uplift & defend UAW members, what are you really doing rn? This is not a drill. Shawn Fain

I pray today is the day the UAW divests from israeli bonds and industries tied to zionist occupation. I pray we cut ties with the histadrut. Listen to the UAW workers across the country, across industries, who are putting their bodies and futures on the line rn. Shawn Fain

this is from yesterday when she claimed to be “deeply saddened” about campus events. She’s in good spirits, next to her bodyguard.

minouche shafik is on columbia’s campus smiling & in a good mood after mass nypd arrests of students

Meet Dakota, candidate for ASE Head Steward! Dakota (she/her) is a student worker in Linguistics whose organizing philosophy centers on collaboration, equity, and justice.

Some Columbia students are also still in booking, but I expect them to be released in morning arraignments today. Very important to draw attention to the 24h arraignment timeline.

latest alert from columbia just dropped:

“We organized this sick-out not only because we refuse to condone ‘business as usual’ at our university but also because now is the moment to bring the power of U.S. labor—including academic labor—to the struggle for Palestine.”

just got out of jail again after being arrested 12 hours ago, this time for protesting outside the gates of my own campus. i was thrown onto the ground and pinned down by 6-7 cops after having my phone knocked out of my hand because the cop got mad i was livestreaming it.

Peper sprayed, tear gassed, yet still held the line. Im so proud of everyone :)

If you notice not a single NYC public defender non-profit will condemn the NYPD for last night’s violence. But the actual workers of these organizations & public defenders of NYC, who are unionized with Association of Legal Aid Attys & UAW, will be out today to support students & workers.

Join us:

The UAW will never support the mass arrest or intimidation of those exercising their right to protest, strike, or speak out against injustice.
