I unequivocally condemn @Tulane deploying mounted police against peaceful protestors.
Once again, Adams chooses the well-being of police unions over the well-being of children.

The *base budget* for the NYPD is $11 billion- not even including overtime & massive civil rights settlement payments. But he can't afford $58.3 million to keep public libraries open. Thats just .05% of the police budget. A budget is a statement of values. Eric Adams has…

Columbus Police exactly one year ago when dealing with armed neo nazis vs today when dealing with college protesters.

Florida enacted one of the harshest anti-immigrant laws in the country and it’s having serious negative impact. Businesses are losing clientele, worker shortages have worsened, and the law could cost the state economy $12.6 billion in its first year. npr.org/2024/04/25/119…

This is why we should oppose the existence of campus police. This is what they exist for, and it is completely unjust. Are there police w machine guns on your campus?

There’s a new cop show called “Elsbeth” on CBS which is about a consent decree attorney who keeps the police in line while solving murders. Fed consent decrees give the appearance of reform but mostly work to legitimize and protect policing. Hollywood is doing the same.
When you call the police to “solve” a problem you are in invoking the use of violence. You are creating violence. Arrest is inherently violent, even if no punches are thrown. This video is a good example of that.

Ohio state appears to be lying and saying there were no snipers on their campus, when in fact there were.

Checking out the encampment at CCNY.
IU faculty are moving over to Dunn Meadow, where they will join IU Divestment Coalition in protest. Some faculty are calling for graduation boycotts and may not finish grading assignments or submit final grades.

When Ilhan says “pro-genocide” this is who she’s talking about
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! 🧵👇🏾
Scenes from today’s rally. The IGWC, faculty, staff, students, and community members are unified in demanding the IMMEDIATE RESIGNATIONS of President Whitten and Provost Shrivastav.
These documents suggest Columbia, among other things, was practicing anti-Arab discrimination. Looking forward to reporting on this from the publications that obsess over the Ivy League like the New York Times and Atlantic.

Once again, Adams chooses the well-being of police unions over the well-being of children.
If you're doing math at home: It will cost $58.3 million so that libraries can stay open on Saturdays (after closing on Sundays due to previous Eric Adams cuts). Instead, Adams is giving the NYPD $62.4 million to hire 1,200 new cops. Check that out! hellgatenyc.com/eric-adams-bud…
I think the reason that casual, non-political New Yorkers hate Eric Adams is because he comes across as a person that doesn't like New York. He got elected on a NY-is-falling-apart message, he lives in NJ, his administration is clearly just out for itself.
Mayor Adams and his advisers confirm the executive budget doesn't reverse any of the $58.3 million in library cuts. Library leaders say this will result in elimination of universal six-day library service in NYC and other program cuts.
Spoiler alert: The NYC Subway is not dangerous & NYC Mayor Eric Adams & NY Governor Kathy Hochul are liars.
Haha the London Sunday Times had someone ride the NYC subway for 24 hours to assess how dangerous it is.
Sunday Times of London mocks NYC Mayor Eric Adams and NYS Gov. Kathy Hochul for their fearmongering about the NYC subway. “I’ve met Catholic schoolgirls who are unafraid of going in the tube and grown men who are absolutely terrified.”
Haha the London Sunday Times had someone ride the NYC subway for 24 hours to assess how dangerous it is.
Libraries are part of the city's safety infrastructure - children, elders, so many NYers go there for so many reasons. While slashing libraries by $58M+, Eric Adams wants to add over $62M for more cops to play games on their phones & abuse NYers w/out fear of ever being fired.
Mayor Adams and his advisers confirm the executive budget doesn't reverse any of the $58.3 million in library cuts. Library leaders say this will result in elimination of universal six-day library service in NYC and other program cuts.

Mayor Adams and his advisers confirm the executive budget doesn't reverse any of the $58.3 million in library cuts. Library leaders say this will result in elimination of universal six-day library service in NYC and other program cuts.
Wild & terrible. Eric Adams wants to add at least 1200 more cops while cutting 3,000 teachers. This needs to be stopped.
Hmm. just released Executive budget cuts the no. of full-time teachers by nearly 3,000 over next two years. Wonder where the staffing will appear for class size reduction, as Mayor supposedly promised in return for Mayoral control. nyc.gov/assets/omb/dow…
MY THEORY ABOUT WHY STUDENTS ARE PROTESTING: they are upset about israeli military activity in gaza, and the role the united states government has in it

#copsoffcampus #FreePalestine Get police OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS. Having police suppress peaceful Palestine protests is fascism at its core
