There are now 181 (!) campus protests around the world, on every continent except Antarctica (though, to be fair, there are no universities in Antarctica, but there *is* a Gaza protest at McMurdo Station, which does a lot of university research) https://t.co/HOYNicrKDy

the whole encampment is blocking people from getting to class argument really falls flat when you immediately do this after clearing it

Poor levels of preventive care because of racism.
Poor levels of access to medical trials because of racism.
Poor support systems because of racism.
The answer is...racism

law and order arguments are for preserving power and providing peace for some at the cost of justice for many.

[Levi Vonk @VonkLevi]

The Virginia State Police were shoving an elderly woman with a cane. When a bystander came to help keep her on her feet, the police snatched them and charged them with “assaulting an officer.” As you can see, there was never any assault. All lies.

student groups at uva have begun putting out open letters about yesterday’s police brutality against anti-genocide protesters. the student radio station, queer student union, muslim & sikh student groups, and more are asking for the charges to be dropped.

Engaging with trying to make the world better in any way will radicalize you. Doesn’t even matter where you start, it could be anti-war, climate, bigotry, poverty, education, housing etc.

Once you start looking at why things are the way they are, there’s no going back.

@mtgillikin These same students also have exams this week that they are barred from taking because they're banned from Grounds.

The university hasn’t been a community for centuries and calling the state riot police on your own students isn’t gonna bring it back.

[kevin @pizzascholar]

FYI, this is what @presjimryan calls “attempted assault” in his email justifying the gassing and arrests of his students

[UVA Encampment For Gaza @uvaencampment]

Today at UVA, Police officers brought these weapons to a peaceful encampment. They beat us. They maced us. They brutalized us.
