not only were these kids the first to boldly take over a building on campus, they were the first to explicitly tether their struggle to the fight against cop city and the killing of tortuguita.

the revolution will not take place at elite institutions. please support the students protesting at public colleges near you. schools like Cal Poly Humboldt are making more progress with less news coverage which puts their student organizers at a higher risk of police violence

No healthcare, no housing, but cops got these to go after student anti-genocide protesters.

The Regents of the University of California stated on Friday that they would not accede to demands for divestment on the grounds of academic freedom. This is a shocking misuse of the term. Academic freedom has never, and must never, covered university investment portfolios.

Cornell has announced that they will NOT evict suspended students from on-campus housing or bar us from dining halls. Make no mistake — this shift the result of intense pressure from students, the public, and in particular faculty.

What do you call it when people outside a community pull up to agitate and then leave to let that community get subjected to police violence?

the cover of COMPOUND FRACTURE—my YA thriller about an autistic trans boy from West Virginia stepping into his family’s century-long blood feud with local law enforcement—is HERE!

Check it out, and thank you @egallagher_art, a force to be reckoned with!

Zionist instigators yelled antisemitic hate speech at a pro-Palestine demo, then accused the demo of being the ones to do so, which the university used as justification without investigation for bringing in the state to forcibly arrest demo participants.

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

There have now been many well documented examples of Zionists showing up to racist, bigoted, and violent. And we won’t see a single headline reflecting that.

[Defend the Atlanta Forest/Stop Cop City @defendATLforest]

if safety is a very high priority for you, we need you running media, logistics, food, cultural events, fundraisers, legal aid. we do *not* need you at the front lines.

[A.R. Moxon 🦋 @JuliusGoat]

Interesting that every killing by every cop is just a single bad apple that never spoils the bunch, while every protest by and on behalf of marginalized people must be flawlessly perfect, lest all participants deserve the brutality the police exist to deliver to them.

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

Laying out the welcome mat for snipers while suspending students. The American university is fundamentally broken.

[Jesse Brenneman @Jesse_Brenneman]

It’s sad that there is a perfect form of protest that addresses everything the right way and solves the problems being protested and is serious without being threatening and peaceful without being frivolous, but no one is allowed to know what it is :(

[Defend the Atlanta Forest/Stop Cop City @defendATLforest]

the connection between cop city and palestine is not just like a discursive "pivot" that people are making. it's not rhetoric or like a vague "everything is connected" platitude. these are direct, material, links.

[Talia Jane @taliaotg]

A pattern seems to be emerging:
- Students launch a Gaza Solidarity Encampment
- University uses state force to sweep, arrest, suspend, evict, & brutalize students based on “safety concerns” or deceptive/false claims of antisemitism
- GSE relaunches with even more support
