To be clear, this is a *zionist* rally
to be clear, this person marched in with everyone else, in step with everyone else
Over the past 2 days, I observed the student encampment @Columbia in-person. Media reports claiming students were anything but respectful, decent and the like are gross mischaracterizations that serve to criminalize our young ppl & put them at serious risk of harm.
This is not the first hostile interaction I’ve had since the new heightened aggressive, suspicious security policy. Imagine how they are treating our Black male students. Hey Pres. Shafik & politicians how about also being concerned about anti-Black hostility & discrimination?

GWU Solidarity Update: A couple hundred students from Georgetown march to join in support of George Washington U. Encampment. Told that American U. Students will be joining soon. This is what DMV student solidarity looks like. #FreePalestine #StopArmingIsrael
CONFIRMED: The person being tased was clearly marked as a street medic.

WATCH: Among those arrested today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University. I’ve asked for a comment from Emory on this arrest, no word yet. This video provided to us by an #Emory PHD student. You can hear him in this video. @ATLNewsFirst
Headline: "Protests turn violent" Video: All the violence is being done by cops
Cornell’s Coalition for Mutual Liberation has launched a Gaza Solidarity Encampment. 9 demands: disclose & divest, call for permanent ceasefire, acknowledge the university’s role in genocide of Indigenous people, establish a Palestinian studies program, cops off campus, & more:
🚨🚨 URGENT ALERT 🚨🚨 🔊RUSH TO CCNY CAMPUS ASAP Students and workers from CUNY are requesting support and back up for an encampment at CCNY *RIGHT NOW*, just days after the 55th anniversary of the FIVE DEMANDS occupation of CCNY in 1969. Follow here: t.me/cunyfivedemands
ALL HANDS ON DECK: Emory University just issued a "final warning" on protesters at the Gaza Solidarity/Stop Cop City encampment. Atlanta police are arriving. Protesters are asking for everyone to go to the Quad now!

Morehouse Alum, Jared Loggins, asks about the elephant in the room. “Dear Gaza, what does it mean to ask a besieged people to endure when we are the ones perversely, collectively, with the guns in our hands? Refusal is not the least we can do, it’s the only ethical position.”
“Dear Gaza…my time on the land your people have stewarded for centuries forever changed me as a person…your defiance, your sumud, your faith, their denial, your Blackness, your queerness, your beauty and our shared struggle” @CharleneCac
“We’re leaving a record. When people look back, they will know we refused to support a genocidal regime. We want people to sit and think for a moment. What do you want to say to the people of Palestine right now?” @delaneypv15
“We’re here as a family to bring in the spirit of Black Palestinian solidarity. We’re here, not so much to teach, but to sit together, to grieve together.” @nylefort kicking us off with a beautiful reflection on the history of our shared struggle
If you're in Atlanta and not coming to the Dear Gaza Event idk what to tell you…..food, childcare and speakers that will connect the global struggle to liberate Palestine to Atlanta and the end of fascism. See y'all soon 💕
@travybismyname @dereckapurnell Even if this is true, and they all hate us, what does that mean in your mind? How/what do you think we should change in terms of our perceptions and feelings about the situation in Gaza?
And I’m proud of that today. Explains the song choice 🤣🤣
"The suffering of Black and Palestinian people is not the same. But our liberation is inseparable," writes Nyle Fort. buff.ly/43Or4I7
As the tide turns globally, I see the effort to pin the blame solely on Netanyahu. The strategy is to resurrect Israel's image in the process of toppling him. But genocide is not a one-man show; the whole system is culpable. Zionism must be abolished. There is no going back.
@dereckapurnell there's always people that use the 'singling out' complaint. ignore them
@LHSummers Are you asking for all countries to be given a pass on human rights violations?

KC TENANTS AND JACKSON COUNTY VOTERS SHUT DOWN THE STADIUM SALES TAX. The largest transfer of public funds to private enterprises in our region’s history, $2 billion over 40 years. The people took on the billionaires. The people won. Nothing is inevitable if we organize.
Such a delight chatting police, protests, and Palestine with Purnell! ✊🏽⚖️🇵🇸 Drawing on her super book “Becoming Abolitionists”, @dereckapurnell, @simaatri (@cjc_TO), and I discussed the meaning of abolition and insights from their experiences in student organizing @Harvard_Law.
Eric Adams not only revived police units that were disbanded in 2020 for their disproportionate abuse against Black and brown New Yorkers, he revived stop and frisk. Since he became mayor, 97% of all stops and searches have been on Black and Latino New Yorkers.
