It's not enough to "support" the students. What do you feel moved to do? What do you feel inspired to do? This isn't about identifying a vanguard or fetishizing a demographic. This is about finding our place in an intergenerational moment of struggle to stop a genocide.
More of us need to start showing up in this way. Our people power is greater than all their riot gear, tear gas, and every other weapon they have, but it all depends on us showing up to put our bodies on the line, not as a sacrifice but to actively resist.

I was arrested at the Gaza encampment at Washington University in St. Louis on Sat. My husband, a 65-year old full professor at S Illinois Univ Edwardsville, was brutally beaten by police. Here is the video of his arrest. He's wearing the yellow jacket. instagram.com/reel/C6SSyEisO…
U.S. police are an occupying army. the war abroad IS the war at home.
The quality of being "peaceful" has never insulated anyone from police violence. It's important to remember this. The law is not a moral instrument, and police are violence workers.
Anyone who thinks the goal of protest is always moral persuasion or to be viewed as virtuous knows absolutely nothing. Sorry no, they know one thing: that they enjoy whitewashed retrospectives of past movements they don't understand.
“We grant the full right to those who are occupying McGill & other campuses throughout Turtle Island to be upon the said lands, with the expressed intent of engaging their administrations to divest from the colonial genocide of israel upon the Palestinian People.”

Good morning radicals & revolutionaries! Yes you may see us at protest, yes we demand justice for all marginalized communities, yes we are abolitionist! But where our hearts & souls lie is in radical love & healing justice! We want our people liberated, healthy & thriving! 🧵👇🏾
Twenty years ago today, on April 28th, 2004, horrific photos of #torture at #AbuGhraib prison in #Iraq were exposed to the world on CBS' 60 minutes. No one in the #Bush administration was held accountable to this day. But thanks to @theCCR, the corporation that conspired with…
I want to offer this as resistance escalates on college campuses. as a former activist & organizer, as someone who has been ringing the alarm since pre-2020 about the rise of fa*cism, I implore those of us who work with students to consider the following as we fight back. 1/n
we need an energetic movement full of people who can say that they used to be wrong, confused, or ignorant about lots of things. we need that level of humility in our organizing. this is what political education is about
@RyLiberty The students broke the rules for a system they didn't even know existed. The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. George Orwell, 1984
This is why students are protesting. This is why ceasefire protests haven't stopped since Oct 7. There is still a genocide happening in Palestine. The US is still funding the Israeli war machine. We need to abolish the military industrial complex and abolish the police.

Never been arrested before, somehow always slipped out, but ready today. No one will touch our students without going through us at NU EJP. Hurting our students is my red line.
BREAKING‼️‼️ Northwestern University has joined the call for Popular University Gaza Solidarity Encampments🗣️✊🏾 Police have already threatened arrest. Students need support!
As long as no one hears you and you don’t disturb the government’s war policy, then you are practicing your right of freedom of expression and speech. However, attempts to hold the government accountable or pressure it into not pursuing inhumane actions makes you a liability
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 US Senator reveals why the government wants TikTok banned. Pro-Palestinian and Hamas videos on TikTok "have more reach than the top 10 US news websites combined."
contradictions are sharpening before our eyes. we are seeing our politicians send billions to fund a genocide & tell us they can’t give us healthcare in the same breath. the same cops that sat & listened to children be massacred in Texas are marching to squash student protests.

We stand in complete solidarity with the UChicago Popular University for Gaza. UChicago has a direct hand in equipping Israelis with material support to oppress Palestinians and surrounding countries. We echo the demands of the Popular University: Disclose, Divest, Repair!
I’m a tenured, Black, queer, disabled professor at UW-Madison. I support my students’ right to protest & I will always put my body on the line to protect them if needed. Today it was needed. Shame on this university, the chancellor & every cop involved in this mess.

Veterans in Portland OR are mobilizing against a plan to put this US Army youth indoctrination & recruitment program into public schools. If you live in the city, here’s how to take action on the School Board vote next week:
U.S. police are an occupying army. the war abroad IS the war at home.
Ordinary people are going to have to rise up. These kids cannot protect themselves against riot cops with linked arms singing songs. Every single person of conscience in this country has to resist.
The quality of being "peaceful" has never insulated anyone from police violence. It's important to remember this. The law is not a moral instrument, and police are violence workers.

After weeks of negotiations amidst a militant student encampment, Columbia University has failed to meet student demands to disclose and divest. Today, administration issued suspension orders for the encampment and its students, giving them until 2pm to vacate. The last time…
The students are reading the demands of the UChicago Popular University for Palestine and they include divestment AS well as disbanding the UCPD and reparations for harm to the Black and Brown communities of the Southside: The students are politically sophisticated af.
Hopefully students at the encampments are reading Tip of the Spear.
UChicago has entered the encampment chat 🦋🇵🇸
The students at the GWU encampment are so freaking inspiring. There’s medical tents, abundances of food, people having political discussions everywhere, prayer areas, barricade art exhibits and more. Joining them for the afternoon. Palestine will truly be free.
So proud of my @afsc_org colleagues in #Gaza who pulled off this #GoalsforGaza event in Rafah! May we be inspired by their strength and community as we commit to work for a permanent #ceasefire, humanitarian aid access, and end to US-supplied bombs youtu.be/X4MC1hV-YEk?si…
We’re fighting for transformative justice through our #PeaceBook ordinance but until it’s passed, on a grassroots level, we’ve partnered with @STOPChicago & @KOCOmmunity to provide peace rooms & restorative justice to students in CPS! We keep us safe!
