this is not disconnected from georgia's increasing attempts at criminalizing protest. this session the legislature passed a bill that basically outlaws charitable bail funds -- the kind of org that would get people criminalized for protest out of jail.
after setting up a peaceful encampment this morning, students are being violently arrested at Emory University. they are being held down and tased. tear-gassed. shot at with rubber bullets.
The kids in college right now have quite literally been protesting their entire lives The March for Our Lives which echoed across the country among high schoolers and other younger students was six years ago.
The Georgia Budget and Policy Institute is deeply disappointed by the signing of SB 233, a voucher bill that will divert crucial public money away from public K-12 schools. Read our statement here: gbpi.org/gbpis-statemen… #gapol @BlancoBlau
HAPPENING NOW: Governor Kemp just signed SB 233 into law, a deeply unpopular school voucher that will divert public funding to private schools. For years, we’ve fought this effort to prioritize the wealthiest few over the 1.7 million young Georgians who depend on public schools.
"The number of disenrollments and people without health insurance could be much higher... That’s because the survey doesn’t take into account children, who have been one of the biggest groups affected by unwinding."

"We can no longer ignore the financial benefits from closing the coverage gap; we can no longer ignore the mounting pressure that many communities are feeling as hospitals close and more people fall into the coverage gap." @CLeahChan on GA's coverage gap: to.pbs.org/3vUtTL0

So deeply grateful to get to learn from the best at GBPI, including Stephen. Hard to overstate how lucky we are to have had a public ed advocate as intelligent and good-humored as him under the Gold Dome

We will have a full statement in the morning, but for now, from the Capitol crew at Georgia Equality, we have adjourned for the year and successfully DEFEATED ALL ANTI-LGBTQ LEGISLATION in Georgia!!
Waking up before my alarm the morning after Sine Die is just rude of my body actually

ATLANTA—Last night, police arrived at Emory around midnight. No arrests or violent police interactions have been reported. We expect there will be more protests for Gaza solidarity and Stop Cop City today. All the protesters arrested on April 25 were released by 7pm yesterday.
How do you go back to school after they brought out snipers on you?
i would love to hear from movement elders / people who have been in this a long time what feels different or similar about this moment of student uprising
this Emory econ professor saw police pinning a student to the ground and came over to ask the cops what they were doing. they responded by tackling her, and then charging her with disorderly conduct and battery against a police officer. she spent the night in jail.
Watch this @EmoryUniversity professor being manhandled by police. Her glasses have fallen off, she’s screaming. She’s begging for her head to be put on the grass. Sad state of affairs. I used to teach at @EnglishEmory. I too would have been #arrested today #Gaza @AcademicChatter
Divesting from anything that has anything to do with cop city is not a big ask. It is an opportunity.
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
ATLANTA—Police are now surrounding the encampment on Emory's quad. Throughout the day, Emory University has called the same police on its students and their supporters that violently killed Manuel "Tortuguita" Terán in Weelaunee Forest on Jan. 18, 2023.
Universities are like, “we foster close relationships between our faculty and our students by, for example, locking them up in the same jail cell.”
and she's a big deal researcher/prof & a major leader, informed source for issues related to employee benefits on the Uni Senate Committee. Huge respect for everything she does, a fabulous colleague. @EmoryUniversity 👇🤬🤬🤬🤬
Side note one of the Emory professors who was violently arrested and thrown to the ground by police today is also MARRIED TO THE EMORY DEAN OF ADMISSIONS... they're so committed to funding genocide that admin is arresting each other's spouses
what we will inevitably hear is that the police response was “professional.” this is because policing is *violence work.* it requires dehumanization to be “professional.” This runs counter to every beautiful thing we do in the university
@wimmchri @NickKristof The police had a knee on a student’s head, neck. The prof asked what was happening and was thrown to the ground. She is a fabulous colleague—smart, serious, generous, & has done heavy lifting re employee benefits for the University Senate. Deeply respected here at #emory.
It's hard to understand why an economics professor showing concern for a student would be thrown to the ground and arrested. This is not an obvious way to defuse a crisis.
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
One colleague describes her as a "fabulous colleague" and member of the University Senate. x.com/jmiller1789/st…
and she's a big deal researcher/prof & a major leader, informed source for issues related to employee benefits on the Uni Senate Committee. Huge respect for everything she does, a fabulous colleague. @EmoryUniversity 👇🤬🤬🤬🤬
The professor arrested in this video was charged with disorderly conduct and simple battery against a police officer according to DeKalb County court records. She and the other arrestees were taken to DeKalb County Jail.
Watch this @EmoryUniversity professor being manhandled by police. Her glasses have fallen off, she’s screaming. She’s begging for her head to be put on the grass. Sad state of affairs. I used to teach at @EnglishEmory. I too would have been #arrested today #Gaza @AcademicChatter
WATCH: Among those arrested today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University. I’ve asked for a comment from Emory on this arrest, no word yet. This video provided to us by an #Emory PHD student. You can hear him in this video. @ATLNewsFirst
1 of my students is in jail tonight. Her hearing is at 9 am. I’m not in Atl & dont know what to do. I think I shld nix the fact of the final portfolio & tell them they’ll get credit even if they can’t turn it in. Classes are online only today. I need a prayer and a playbook.
Damn, Emory’s general counsel stepped in and asked that there be no restrictions on these students ability to come to campus, which is really great!
Good morning! I believe that educational institutions are where students learn. That includes learning how to engage on issues. These institutions should never be a place where cops are called on students that people disagree with. That’s what codes of conduct are for. #GAPol
