Ask yourself why reporters would need to be arrested for reporting on what's happening at UCLA? What dont they want the public to know? Asking as a UCLA alum class of 1996

They show up within minutes to beat up unarmed college kids but hide for an hour while toddlers are massacred

Students across this country are putting their futures on the line to protest their institutions’ investments in the Israeli occupation & genocide of Palestinians.

People dismissing & ridiculing these students are people who’ve never stood for anything in their lives.

BREAKING: CW. Extremely disturbing video. Atlanta Police and Georgia State Patrol tase a Gaza solidarity protestor who is already pinned to the ground and in cuffs, while multiple officers kneel on his back.

This is what Cop City is for.

Sickening to think those un-armed children were left alone in that room for so long while well-armed, highly-trained "good guys" in body armor hung out for an hour... just waiting. 😠

Words cannot convey my condolences for you & your family... or the anger I feel for those who just waited. 😠

[Brett Cross @BCross052422]

Shit, if only they’d have moved like that when my son was being murdered.

But what do I expect….1 AR-15 keeps 376 officers at bay.

[Bassam Khawaja @Bassam_Khawaja]

The speed at which we are normalizing police arrests of students for nonviolent protest is deeply alarming:

I am very concerned with the punitive approach to handling the issue of youth riding their bikes in an unsafe manner in our city.

While there’s no question that this is a serious safety issue, addressing this situation can be done in a manner that actually uplifts our youth.

This was Zomi in Pakistan….like so many other missions….always a brave soul….an Angel….
Dear Zomi I have no words….but I promise you, your spirit will always be with us…we will always feed people, with love and kindness….you made all of us better…..You made invisible people feel that they were being seen…being listen to…I’m sorry my friend…I wish I never met you….I wish I never founded @WCKitchen ..you would be alive somewhere today, smiling and making somebody somewhere feel like they were the most beloved person in the world…That how I always felt with you…Bye my friend…I will hug you one day again…and we will always feed the world with kindness and hope next to you…🫶🏻🕊️😢

Today @WCKitchen lost several of our sisters and brothers in an IDF air strike in Gaza. I am heartbroken and grieving for their families and friends and our whole WCK family. These are people…angels…I served alongside in Ukraine, Gaza, Turkey, Morocco, Bahamas, Indonesia. They are not faceless…they are not nameless. The Israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing. It needs to stop restricting humanitarian aid, stop killing civilians and aid workers, and stop using food as a weapon. No more innocent lives lost. Peace starts with our shared humanity. It needs to start now.
