Doing a raid in the middle of the night is quite a choice.
It’s important to remember this was what last Friday evening was like:

I really prefer deescalation over force especially when there isn’t a public safety threat. Now I’m worried a bunch of right wing fascists with Charlie K*rks organization show up like they did last Friday. And set off an uncontrollable powder keg. His org btw:

POLICE IN RIOT GEAR HAVE ENTERED THE QUAD AND BEGUN DISMANTLING THE UCHICAGO PRO-PALESTINE ENCAMPMENT. FOLLOW ALONG: chicagomaroon.com/43133/news/liv…
💥TAKE ACTION💥 Let the Illinois House of Representatives know that our communities want the Pretrial Success Act! It's time for Illinois to invest in support services for people awaiting trial: bit.ly/SlipSuccessAct Even if you filed a slip last week, we need you to again.
Today I sent a letter to @UofC President Paul Alivisatos in defense of peaceful protest and demonstration at campus encampments. To create a better world, we need to model the behavior we want to see in it. I urge the administration to negotiate.
The Faculty Forward executive committee unequivocally defends our members’ rights to freedom of speech and peaceful protest. We urge the University of Chicago to refrain from deploying police against the UCUP encampment. Link to full statement: docs.google.com/document/d/1qH…
We need @UChicago to continue to engage in negotiation rather than suspending talks. Through engagement we find the path to shared solutions and progress.

In the Chicago Tribune, a great article about UChicago Jews for a Free Palestine by @radbrowndads: “At U of C encampment, Jewish organizers explain significance of their anti-Zionist Shabbat service.” chicagotribune.com/2024/05/05/uni…
The lack of a robust UCPD presence has been a major departure from the state of the quad since the encampment began on Monday. chicagomaroon.com/43012/news/ucp…

🚨Tel Aviv now Thousands are streaming in to call for ceasefire deal, hostage exchange, and calling on the government to quit. A crucial evening as deal is on the table.
At the School of the Art Institute, CPD made 68 arrest after students set up a small nonviolent protest camp. In some cases officers shoved, hit, and roughly pulled students and supporters to the ground.
All community members should know that your story is yours. You don’t have to give it to people you don’t trust and you shouldn’t feel pressured to talk if you don’t feel prepared. It’s up to the media to earn your trust.

Doing a raid in the middle of the night is quite a choice.
It’s important to remember this was what last Friday evening was like:
Student protesters observing Shabbat at the @UChicago campus. They also built a makeshift library and are doing their homework. The most fine thing that ever was fine 🤷🏼♀️
I really prefer deescalation over force especially when there isn’t a public safety threat. Now I’m worried a bunch of right wing fascists with Charlie K*rks organization show up like they did last Friday. And set off an uncontrollable powder keg. His org btw:
I would hazard a guess that blocking access to the quad with riot police and turning off key card access for faculty is more disruptive to the core academic activities of the university than some peaceful protestors who held a rally once a day.
💥TAKE ACTION💥 Let the Illinois House of Representatives know that our communities want the Pretrial Success Act! It's time for Illinois to invest in support services for people awaiting trial: bit.ly/SlipSuccessAct Even if you filed a slip last week, we need you to again.
FULL STORY: Internal Affairs did not interview anyone other than the 8 officers accused of belonging to the Oath Keepers — and they were each questioned by investigators for an average of 29 minutes, according to the 30-page report released by CPD. @wttw news.wttw.com/2024/05/03/pro…
It may be too little, too late, but if it’s a step in the right direction, then it shows that pressure - from progressive lawmakers, from international institutions, from student protesters, from public opinion - can work.
“Scoop: U.S. put a hold on an ammunition shipment to Israel” If acccurate, this is very significant as the first withholding of US arms from Israel since October 7, coming as large numbers of lawmakers wrote to Biden last week on Israel’s actions in Gaza: x.com/dylanotes/stat…
What’s up, Mayor Johnson @ChicagoMayor? chicago.suntimes.com/editorials/202…
Today I sent a letter to @UofC President Paul Alivisatos in defense of peaceful protest and demonstration at campus encampments. To create a better world, we need to model the behavior we want to see in it. I urge the administration to negotiate.
The Faculty Forward executive committee unequivocally defends our members’ rights to freedom of speech and peaceful protest. We urge the University of Chicago to refrain from deploying police against the UCUP encampment. Link to full statement: docs.google.com/document/d/1qH…
Just spent some time with my mom at the University of Chicago Encampment. The scene is families, little kids with bubbles and sidewalk chalk. Students have created this space. There are supportive faculty looking out for them. The demand is peace. @UChicago
Encouraging.
"The Biden administration last week put a hold on a shipment of US-made ammunition to Israel." @BarakRavid Lends credence to warnings that it will restrict Israeli use of US weapons if Rafah offensive proceeds without addressing administration concerns. axios.com/2024/05/05/isr…
So amazing to see 300+ AAPI community members with the PAVE coalition come to Springfield for Asian American Day of Action on May 1st! #Springfield
We regret cabinet decision to close Al Jazeera in Israel. A free & independent media is essential to ensuring transparency & accountability. Now, even more so given tight restrictions on reporting from Gaza. Freedom of expression is a key human right. We urge govt to overturn ban
