As we participate in this monumental moment in the history of social movements, we can't emphasize enough how important it is to maintain an archive of the encampments. @iHPSouth put together an amazing zine on how to archive a protest! Check out the PDF bit.ly/protestarchive
Some tenured faculty members at @BrownUniversity are being threatened with vague disciplinary action after having visited the encampments. They received this email from the Dean of Faculty. I’ve confirmed at least 2, but there are at least 2 more I am hearing about beyond that.
BREAKING: The USC liberation zone has taken back Alumni Park after LAPD’s violent repression last Wednesday. DISCLOSE! DIVEST! WE WILL NOT STOP! WE WILL NOT REST! 🇵🇸

University of Mary Washington prevented a Gaza Solidarity Encampment from erecting tents, resulting in students becoming hypothermic. The university later erected their own canopy tent to protect equipment, adjusted University policy, & called in state police to arrest students.
This is why dissent is important, esp from faculty

Don’t lecture me abt Hamas. I’ve always opposed them. At first, Israel saw them as an alternative to the PLO, then as a useful foil to avoid fulfilling Oslo, then used them to weaken the PA, funneling money to them & finally using them to justify strangling & now demolishing Gaza
Happening now. @ASU and the police are using frat boys to destroy the camp at Old Main. This is insane. #Occupy4Gaza
“Let them pray!” This choked me up. Students of different faiths and backgrounds at Ohio State University form a human chain to protect Muslims who are praying while riot police prep to crack skulls for absolutely no reason.
Cal Poly Humboldt is the moment 🔥
this is insane. CUNY locks down ALL of the bathrooms for students, then says they will bring us PORT A POTTIES if we take down the Palestinian flag. instead of just opening the bathrooms. what the fuck. and we said no??? cause wtf??? how dare they weaponize that against us???
Slain Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh's niece is a student participating in Columbia University’s Gaza encampment. “I'm here because my aunt gave her life for the cause of sharing truth with the world.”
“Elite schools are getting all the attention, while working-class students at schools like Cal Poly Humboldt (California) have taken up the most militant tactics in their occupations. Students fully occupied and barricaded 2 buildings, naming one ‘Intifada Hall’.”@Pal_action US
"In the eyes of our enemies in the belly of the beast, we are all outside agitators." Reflections and questions from Within Our Lifetime on Encampments, Escalation, and the ongoing struggle to Defend Gaza and Free Palestine. Read the full statement here: wolpalestine.com/encampments
This is not rhetoric — this is an urgent need. We will all share the inspiring images coming from Cal Polytech — but who will commit to studying and adapting those lessons to fit our conditions? wolpalestine.com/encampments
A headline that perfectly captures what’s happening on American college campuses:
No difference between US and Israeli police

Chabad rabbi outside IU Divestment Coalition’s encampment did a Nazi “sieg heil” salute to intimidate Jewish students within the encampment. Zionist antisemitism from counterprotesters has been nonstop
The same day, we held Shabbat services at the University of Pennsylvania encampment. We unequivocally reject the claims in this article that the encampment somehow infringes on Penn’s vibrant Jewish student life.

4 State Department bureaus put into question Israel’s assurances that it was using US weapons in compliance w US & Intl law. This should have been enough to review or suspend arms transfers. The State Dept is ignoring its own experts & law jpost.com/israel-hamas-w… #Gaza #NSM20

How is it possible for this direct call to genocide by Israel’s Finance Minister to still be up on this platform and for his account not to have been banned?
הגיע הזמן שהמוסד יחזור לעסוק במה שהוא הוכשר לו - לחסל את ראשי החמאס בכל העולם ולא במו"מ שמנוהל בחוסר אחריות ופוגע בביטחון ישראל. עם חמאס צריך לדבר מכאן והלאה רק באמצעות פגזים ופצצות. רפיח הכי מהר והכי חזק שאפשר, ואח"כ להמשיך בכל הרצועה עד השמדתו המוחלטת.
in my interpretation, the brave emory professor who cried out “i’m a professor” while being brutalized by police for intervening in police brutality was addressing her colleagues, all faculty nationwide who walk by the encampments & hear about the suspensions, but choose silence.
Not self-proclaimed, actually…proclaimed as such by others due to the extensive amount of time & effort I have contributed to on genocide education. & if you’d take a sec to pull your head out of your ass, you could read the many times I & other scholars have addressed this.
@Rrrrnessa As a self proclaimed “genocide expert” can you please explain how it’s possible that the civilian population of Gaza has been increasing year over year since 2006. Are Palestinians just good at wartime sex or are the Israelis just bad at killing? Please enlighten everyone.
It’s nice to see some contrition, but Elizabeth Dunn has been a deeply committed opponent of grad worker unionization on this campus. Her constant threats and retaliation against us really throws some cold water on this whole speech
Associate Dean for Graduate Education Elizabeth Dunn spoke at the faculty gathering.
Currently happening outside of the White House Correspondents Dinner:

Mass arrests happening. Can no longer upload photos. Guessing stingray is in use.
Welcome show of solidarity between Harvard and Emerson. @MayorWu needs to hear this: you don’t get to sic riot police on students one day then show up to smile and shake hands the next.
Mayor Michelle Wu canceled an event at Harvard after nine student organizations withdrew from sponsoring the talk over her decision to send police to end a pro-Palestine encampment at Emerson College. Madeleine A. Hung and @AzusaLippit report. thecrimson.com/article/2024/4…
Cornell has announced that they will NOT evict suspended students from on-campus housing or bar us from dining halls. Make no mistake — this shift the result of intense pressure from students, the public, and in particular faculty.
Why doesn’t Joyce Carol Oates camp out in front of the Supreme Court for abortion rights?!?
so wishing that just a tiny fraction of the impassioned US college students for Palestine could take time to camp out & vociferously protest against our fatally corrupt Supreme Court; on the issue alone of Roe vs. Wade, why don't more young people care? US future belongs to you.
Protest works!! Portland State University pauses connections to Boeing opb.org/article/2024/0…
The fact that they think threats are going to work on the kinds of academics that go to encampments is pretty funny.
Some tenured faculty members at @BrownUniversity are being threatened with vague disciplinary action after having visited the encampments. They received this email from the Dean of Faculty. I’ve confirmed at least 2, but there are at least 2 more I am hearing about beyond that.

Stanford students sustained a Gaza solidarity encampment on campus for 112 days before the admin tore it down in February. Now, students have staked out a second Gaza encampment, building off new momentum and remaining totally undeterred by Stanford’s ban on such protests.
“When students vote overwhelmingly for divestment and administrators ignore them, the unmistakable conclusion is that the development of students’ critical thinking is an inconvenience to the institution, not its primary purpose.”

University of Mary Washington prevented a Gaza Solidarity Encampment from erecting tents, resulting in students becoming hypothermic. The university later erected their own canopy tent to protect equipment, adjusted University policy, & called in state police to arrest students.
UPDATE on Columbia University’s consideration of a campus wide lockdown. Admin threatened mass evictions of campus dorms with no notice to students. We will not be deterred by an administration that continues to threaten students & engage in bad faith.
Solidarity encampments have finally arrived in "Canada"! Respecting the French tradition of protesting, Montreal students are the first to take up the call. Head down to McGill University now to support their efforts! ✊
