Democratic Allegheny County Councilwoman at-large Bethany Hallam believes it is long past time for a reassessment. She introduced a bill Wednesday that would move the county to regular reassessments. PA is the only state in America to not regularly reassess its properties
It’s all about the work. Thank you @bethanyhallam for acknowledging that. triblive.com/local/valley-n…
🚨PSA: ATTENTION EVERYONE! If you are in driving range of a college with a Gaza solidarity encampment, go to your closest one TOMORROW. If they’re like ours, they don’t need donations. They need your BODIES. We need more ppl to deter the cops from harming our precious students!
List of organizer demands btw: 1) a full disclosure of all investments in the Israeli apartheid regime 2) an acknowledgement of genocide by the university administration 3) full material divestment from any entity associated with the Israeli apartheid regime, including (1/2)
Worth noting that the Pitt board of trustees that could meet these demands includes ... Pittsburgh Mayor @MayorEdGainey Allegheny County Exec. @Innamo State senator Jay Costa (@Senatorcosta) PA Gov. @JoshShapiroPA & @steelers president Art Rooney II. Their stance on genocide?

There’s no place like home. I love you Allegheny County. Thank you for celebrating with me tonight! @bethanyhallam @laurenhergert @PublicEd412 @ald317
Rally & march at the encampent tomorrow @ 4pm!! Come thru! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
I was honored to stand in solidarity with and speak to the brave students leading the encampment at Pitt. It takes strength to fight the lies and disinformation while standing firm in the truth that this is a genocide and we demand a free Palestine
Shout out to my girl @bethanyhallam for always rocking the yellow shades
Hey Yinzers, TODAY Gus Kalaris is opening his cart for his 90th year. Open 11:30-6 Gus began working the cart at his Pop’s side in 1934. Thx @jessicamanack!
As we see police in dozens of cities beating philosophy professors, tackling economics scholars, body slamming Fox camera people, and putting chains on 100s of students singing songs and enjoying seder, it's important to see that these are not a few bad apples.

Cops are the rioters, cops are the violent ones, cops are the problem.
Cops are the rioters, cops are the violent ones, cops are the problem.
Instead of saying, “Professors and students are not criminals” try saying, “While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.”
tonight at the solidarity encampment: SpearIt (a professor at the School of Law) will be speaking followed by a Frantz Fanon reading group
And here is a list of bail funds for a bunch of the encampments. If you prefer to donate to those or Bukit directly, send me proof and I'll send you download codes for whatever campusbailfunds.com

Downtown Pittsburgh is not alone in plummeting property values. Allegheny County’s suburbs have lost nearly $570 million due to appeals. Several suburban school districts are anxious & are joining the chorus calling for a countywide reassessment. My story triblive.com/news/education…

someone mentioned how as more and more encampments pop up at different universities, it’s essentially showing us what a general strike would look like, and i just think it’s beautiful we’re sorta seeing the beginning of what could become something bigger.
DAY 3 FROM UCLA LIBERATED ZONE UCLA students have been out in front of Royce Hall for 3 days. Students plan on holding this space until their demands are met. The demands are: divest, disclose, abolish police, end the silence, & boycott Israel Solidarity forever. #FreePalestine
