    Lawful student protest on any @CUNY campus should not be met with NYPD arrests, including today’s demonstration at @CityCollegeNY. Administration can & must ensure students’ safety and prevent harassment on campus without resorting to the forcible removal of peaceful protestors

    I have disabled students participating in the peaceful encampment/protests @UConn. When cops arrived they put hands on one of my disabled students & dislocated their shoulder. This student is still there, but injured. If @uconn says there are no injuries, that is a lie.

      Technically it’s a federation of fascist states.

      For real though, if the protesters all showed up open carrying rifles the cops would just stand back and watch.

        Eh, not quite what I was going for.

        This is the tyranny that an armed populace is supposed to be protection from.

        But thinking about it, an armed protest would be among the first steps.

    And not a single one of the articles OP posted refer to these as anti-genocide protests.

    Every media outlet who keeps framing this as students supporting Palestine or opposing Israel is burying the lede, that these students wouldn’t be supporting or opposing anything if there wasn’t a fucking genocide.

      Thats why after years of tiktok bans being non starters the shit suddenly happened in like a week - its the only platform they can’t bully into censoring any mention of genocide.

    Cornell University has temporary suspended me alongside 3 other students/grad workers. They have deliberately targeted students with precarious positions such as visa status. They have given me a grace period but I am no longer permitted on campus. I know they have done this as a means of bringing down the encampment. The university has acted in extremely bad faith and refused to engage in any form of dialogue about our demands. It is clear that they are more concerned with appeasing their Zionist donors and keeping their hands drenched in blood than over the expressed refusal of their students and workers. I’m okay and please don’t stop talking about Palestine.

    The police have ever been henchmen of the capitalist class that has ever ruled this country. Their core purpose is to protect the capitalists’ private property—historically including chattel slaves—and to discipline labor.

    Now that we’ve reached imperialism, the monopoly stage of capitalism, the police are brutalizing anyone who stands between the capitalists and their imperial interests, in this case their interests in West Asia.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_brutality#History

    Early records suggest that labor strikes were the first large-scale incidents of police brutality in the United States, including events like the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, the Pullman Strike of 1894, the 1912 Lawrence textile strike, the Ludlow massacre of 1914, the Great Steel Strike of 1919, and the Hanapepe massacre of 1924.

    Sniper on the roof of the Indiana Memorial Union at Indiana University. Gun pointed down at peaceful Gaza protesters in Dunn Meadow. This is 4 hours after the arrest of 22 students and 2 professors in the meadow. Have never seen anything like this on this campus.

      People should really start linking images directly, or at least link to screenshots of that site instead of linking directly to it. I can’t view this, and I won’t bother if it’s on that site.

        Understandable.

        Would an archive link suffice?
