Ferguson, 2014. Standing Rock, 2016. Charlottesville, 2017. George Floyd Uprising, 2020. They’ve been getting more militarized, more emboldened. Look to #CopCity & #MVP.

I teach a class on technology and fascism, and today we literally talked about fascist discourses and how they adopt food as a symbol of presumed virility or weakness. Anyways, on an unrelated note, please feel free to read this screenshot.

When the South has trouble with its Negroes—when the Negroes refuse to remain in their “place”—it blames “outside” agitators and “Northern interference.” When the nation has trouble with the Northern Negro, it blames the Kremlin. - James Baldwin, 'Nobody Knows My Name,' 1961

It happens at every single protest against the state. They did through 2020, at Ferguson, and the protests between, after, and before that. They don’t change their game plan because what matters isn’t truth or reason, but the power they have to brutalize people into submission.

In the spring of 1985 we padlocked the front doors of Hamilton Hall, renaming it Mandela Hall, and encamped on the steps for three weeks. Columbia divested from South Africa in the fall of 1985.

AMERICANS NEED TO UNDERSTAND This is partly a practice run for NYPD. Locking journalists and students in buildings either physically or under threat of arrest? That can happen anywhere that NYPD can get to. Understand that.

You may well have the unusual situation of the Columbia student radio station being eligible for a Pulitzer Prize, administered by Columbia University, for the station’s coverage of how Columbia called the cops on Columbia students. (They’re doing an extraordinary job).

College campuses have been instrumental in driving the conversation around trauma informed reporting because so much of their work involves discussing peers that they share space and community with. A lot of tactics that students have been mocked for are increasingly standard now

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.

Rafah is being decimated, there is nowhere else left to go. Israel is now bombing more than 1.7 million civilians trapped in Rafah, Gaza's last place of refuge. A massacre is happening in Rafah right now and the world is silent.

As police descend violently on student protest, Netanyahu has vowed to continue displacing and bombing Palestinians in Rafah. While students are protesting, Israel is still dropping bombs funded by American support. You just can’t make this up.

A woman on CNN is saying the anti-Vietnam protests were different from the situation now, which is “very polarizing.” People always do this — make it seem like past activists were somehow uncontroversial. It’s nonsense. Activism by its nature is antagonistic to the status quo.
