"This generation of youth have spent their entire lives in fear of having guns pointed at them in schools; what a disgrace for America that is now their own schools that are pointing the guns at them." --Josh Paul, former Director, US Department of State (resigned in protest)

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐲 Here's a thread with some of @bristolgreen's ideas for how to improve transport ahead of the council elections on Thursday 2nd May. 🧵
🚨🚨Katy/Cinco riders: TxDOT is closing the Willow Fork Trail underpass at 99 for 6+ months. Detour north thru ’hoods to Westheimer Pkwy, cross under 99 w/ bad traffic, then come back south to the trail. Doable, but annoying. Katya @ Cool Cats is trying to get a safer detour.
At the @APTA_info conference, a Vancouver, Canada public transit planner said that they keep increasing frequencies to address overcrowding, but it just induces more ridership so the crowding comes back. We haven't begun to saturate the market for fixed route bus service in…
I only have 210 Twitter followers. But if all of them voted in the HCAD election turnout would increase by almost a whole percent. Today is the last day of early voting, polls are open to 7, go vote anywhere in the county.
I don't understand the delays and controversy over the Montrose project. Just do it. The area needs it, particularly with respect to drainage. Flooding is an existential threat to Houston's long term sustainability. Mitigate it wherever possible.

New: A coalition of 185 social justice groups published an open letter today expressing support for campus protest encampments sweeping the country and calling on university administrators to end the brutal crackdowns of the student-led demonstrations. huffpost.com/entry/human-ri…

This is why students are willing to risk their professional careers. In the future, everyone will claim they supported them.

Emory's Caroline Fohlin is knocked down by the police while shouting: “I’m a professor!!” Hear the disbelief in her voice. She never expected to be treated like this by her own university for protesting Israel's slaughter. But remember, democracy is on the ballot in Nov...

UT Austin published this video for Free Speech Week 6 mos ago. Q: Why can members of the public come to campus at any time and engage in demonstrations A: State law in Texas allows members of the public...to come onto campus and use our common outdoor areas for speech activity
I am still thinking about @NaomiAKlein speech from last night’s “Seder in the Streets”. Luckily it’s published here via @guardian. “Zionism is a false idol that has betrayed every Jewish value.” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
don’t let this moment of student organizing fool you. the state is directly responding to threats against empire. they see students, young people, brilliant collective minds demanding an end to genocide, and they recognize the shift in power. they will do anything to maintain it.
THANK YOU @CW39Houston for highlighting more diverse voices of Montrose! And showing that many of us are IN SUPPORT of TIRZ27’s MBP despite a pushback from a small group! cw39.com/news/local/mon…

Friends, please, please amplify. The NYPD are now raiding City College. Reports are hundreds of cops. Please, I know that what happened at Columbia tonight is sickening--but this is Part II. And our @CUNY students are largely working class students of color.
Remember, the NYPD is doing this knowing that everyone is watching and that Columbia is an Ivy League school. Now just imagine what they do every day in neighborhoods where the press isn’t watching. Exactly.
The way WKCR journalists are handling copaganda (insisting on confirmation and verification before repeating tropes and rumors) versus the way CNN is not only uncritically repeating police statements but marveling at their tactics is truly something to behold.
this is on the watch of a democratic mayor, governor, and president. And they expect to convince voters that we need to reelect them in order to stave off authoritarianism? ...How?
This is legitimately one of the most insane videos out of the past 24hrs. Like a couple dozen kids being bombarded with war weapons in broad daylight for no fucking reason. We live in hell
VIDEO THREAD: Police deployed tear gas this afternoon against a circle of University of South Florida students attempting to set up a pro-Palestine encampment on their campus, their second time trying in two days. Filmed by @davedeckerphoto for @N2Sreports
Democratic governor. Democratic mayor. Democratic super majorities in the state senate, state house, and city council. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh look, cars moving steadily down 11th, no congestion, and a biker. Seems the infrastructure is working as designed. No reason to spend millions tearing it out and replacing it.
According to Columbia by-laws, police are not supposed to be allowed on campus without the consent of the faculty. President Shafik does *not* have our approval for this raid; she has not even asked our approval. This promises to be a horrifying dereliction of faculty governance
NOW: After merging with a large group of FIT students, the march has swelled to several hundred people The march is now expected to head to Columbia University

Attended peaceful protests against VietNam War at UT in 1970s where I was maced. My husband was beaten and arrested. Students are directly impacted by war/international conflict and have every right to speak out. Their voices are critical in shaping policy impacting their future.
At least 40 people were arrested Monday at an encampment on the south lawn of UT Austin's campus, according to George Lobb, an attorney who helped coordinate the release of protesters arrested last week. l8r.it/ZJgU
FYI Israel said they’re invading Rafah no matter what. That’s why encampments are spreading. That’s why we must escalate. That’s why all eyes on Rafah.
Setting up an encampment in DeSantis’ Florida is a real testament to these kids bravery and moral clarity
TODAY: University of Southern Florida students were raided and violently arrested by police within hours of setting up a Gaza solidarity encampment to protest USF’s affiliation with Israel’s war.

Best Covid news I've seen in a while: US covid Hospital admissions are lower than they've been this *entire* pandemic! Week ending 4/20/24 is the 1st week we've had under 6000 new covid hospitalizations. Still a lot, and no this metric isn't perfect, but this is good news. 1/3

A Palestinian student at Columbia was arbitrarily suspended along with many other arbitrary suspensions today. Columbia is racially profiling students who have no involvement with the ongoing protests and suspending them with no due process.
