@JacobsRosa56834 @Dr_JessieW I mean, if you want to take the suppression of student movements out of historical context, you’re welcome to keep the blinders on. It’s not equivalent bc you don’t agree, but the criminalization of protest impacts us all

[jodi jones @crosstuned]

@JacobsRosa56834 @Dr_JessieW The cops disrupted the last day of classes by breaking up a peaceful encampment and showing up in riot gear. I’d encourage you to learn more about the contemporary perceptions of Vietnam and civil rights protests. Your words are eerily similar …

[jodi jones @crosstuned]

@JacobsRosa56834 @Dr_JessieW No justification for that kind of violence against a student sanctioned by the university. They wrote on the sidewalk with some chalk. Boooooo, scary!

[jodi jones @crosstuned]

@JacobsRosa56834 @Dr_JessieW Effective protest is never convenient. It’s called civil “disobedience” for a reason. Many protests we classify today as peaceful were historically condemned as violent riots incited by foreign governments. Vietnam, civil rights. The cops came looking for confrontation

[jodi jones @crosstuned]

@JacobsRosa56834 @Dr_JessieW I’m asking. I’d be happy to show you the videos of the cops *beginning* the interaction with protestors by pulling a girls hair and see what you think of reasonable expectation.

[jodi jones @crosstuned]

@JacobsRosa56834 @Dr_JessieW Because that’s what’s happening. The best way to keep it from escalating is … hey … not calling riot cops on kids camping and allowing social programs to continue like reasonable human beings.

[jodi jones @crosstuned]

@JacobsRosa56834 @Dr_JessieW So these kids, who haven’t even done that much, should be brutalized in every way short of being shot? That’s your stance? I can quote you on that?

[jodi jones @crosstuned]

@JacobsRosa56834 @Dr_JessieW You didn’t answer my question my guy

[Maybe: J Definitely: not on the Nazi site anymore @no_good_wyfe]

Biden’s STILL collaborating with southern segregationists by giving his tacit go-ahead to campuses like UNC & their far-right appointed admin suppressing students’ first amendment rights and brutalizing them with militarized police.

@joan_of_waystar @UNC_SJP @UNC @newsobserver @wunc @LSchlemmer_WUNC @Newsweek @dailytarheel @WRAL Thank you for finding this. I haven’t been able to get this moment out of my mind and I feel less crazy seeing it reflected back on film

@midcharlemagne @n_th_n_ you do know that’s a cultural garb of the Palestinian people right. that predates hamas, right. right?

[n th n - #FreeThemAll @n_th_n_]

When a US senator calls the encampments “little Gazas” full of “freaks” and “ideological twins of the ayatollahs,” that’s transparently a call for unspeakable violence—warehousing, maiming, killing—against student protesters.

[jodi jones @crosstuned]

@JacobsRosa56834 @Dr_JessieW it isn’t antisemitism to oppose genocidal, imperial war or the funding of it with the taxes - Jewish students have been integral to the protest movement on college campuses. the Kent state protestors threw rocks at the national guard. Do you consider them violent?

[jodi jones @crosstuned]

@JacobsRosa56834 @Dr_JessieW and folks said Vietnam war protestors were agents of foreign enemies … hear yourself friend

[jodi jones @crosstuned]

@JacobsRosa56834 @Dr_JessieW no actually they were students murdered by their own government for exercising a constitutional right to free speech you silly goose! that was a very good try though

[jodi jones @crosstuned]

@JacobsRosa56834 @Dr_JessieW enjoy being remembered in the same breath as the folks who said the Kent state kids were unamerican and had it coming! You look just as silly babe ❤️

[jodi jones @crosstuned]

@JacobsRosa56834 @Dr_JessieW How’s that boot taste honey

Think of the children! No, not those children. No, not them, either. No,
