If you're on the east coast and just waking up, check out what happened at UCLA last night.

The US has been killing kids. They are just going to add white college kids to the roster.
"This generation of youth have spent their entire lives in fear of having guns pointed at them in schools; what a disgrace for America that is now their own schools that are pointing the guns at them." --Josh Paul, former Director, US Department of State (resigned in protest)
Militarized police are now working in tandem with paramilitary terrorists. The next few years will resemble the violence of Reconstruction. The entire system needs to be rebuilt from the ground up - it's the only hope of escaping the moral rot of our political leaders.
who are these Zionists attacking UCLA protesters?

pro Palestine folks are taking their own people to hospitals because they say @UCLA PD won’t let EMS in. “Which means our camp has treated 100+ people so far for medical injuries including tear gas pepper spray head injuries from projectiles fireworks burns shock…
PLEASE UCLA ENCAMPMENT NEEDS DEFENDING. THEY ARE SERIOUSLY INJURING STUDENTS AND ARE GOING TO END UP KILLING SOMEONE
What is happening at UCLA right now is strategy that I recognize from Turkey. The police outsourcing violence to fascist mobs.
Shafik knows her presidency is over. She knows you cannot tear gas campus and expect a commencement ceremony. She is a baroness wreaking vengeance upon teenagers to defend Israel and an investment portfolio.
“And the lonely voice of youth cries ‘What is truth?’”
#BREAKING HEAVY POLICE PRESENCE with cops with bats and helmets outside of Columbia University. Streets around it are now FROZEN ZONES. Speculation that raid is imminent.
LR 167 - The Death Of Hollywood? With Danny Bessner x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
.@UNC police knock over a protestor in a wheelchair as they clash with protestors.
Shocking footage shows several officers at Washington University St. Louis beating a professor, slamming him, and dragging his limp body. SIUE history professor Steve Tamari is reportedly hospitalized with broken ribs and a broken hand. One doctor told him he's lucky to be alive.

I AM NOT A LAWYER, AND THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE if you're going to a protest where you expect to get arrested it's extremely important to have arrest training. this thread will not be as useful as a proper training, but i can offer a few tips:
Worth stopping for a minute to appreciate the fact that we've completely normalized banning peaceful protests & calling in militarized riot police to violently arrest the protesters. Trump is a dangerous symptom. But he's not the disease.

From livestream of arrests hardly an hour after the University of Georgia Gaza Solidarity Encampment went up: #UGA Chief of Police Jeff Clark seen here pulling a protester to the ground by the hoodie. Students were told they were criminally trespassing on their own campus.

It's truly a sad state of affairs when some people believe that students should be brutally punished for having views different from their own. It's also disappointing so many think I should be punished for supporting students' right to express dissent and protest.
First off, its just gross and creepy for a professor to be thinking about students' sex lives to this extent Also, this is a very succinct way for Galloway to signal he knows nothing about sex AND about protests. Third, why are business professors
🇮🇱🇺🇸 NYU Professor Scott Galloway twice claims students are upset with Israel because “young people aren’t having enough sex”, dubs protesting Israel as “the new sex”
@KeriLeighMerrit there are too many (horrible) ironies underway to keep count.

On this day in 1967, Muhammad Ali refused army induction to serve in the Vietnam War. He refused to stand with the US Empire and murder innocent people instead he stood with the people
It turns out that most progressives, in contradiction to years of slander from the right and center, believe that people with fundamentally different worldviews than theirs are also possessed of a fundamental human dignity and are entitled to basic rights. This has baffled many.
One of the main conservative arguments on Gaza is that it's ok to kill Palestinian civilians because they're not woke.
Steven Thrasher, screaming about Israel as a professor at NU & Khymani James, screaming about tIsrael as a CU student, are both queer and black. You know where it's OK to be queer and black? Israel. Ask a gay Ethiopian Jew. You know where they'd be thrown off a rooftop? Gaza.

This is very quickly turning into so much more than just Palestine. It’s becoming an indictment of centuries of brutal colonization & weapons sales. THIS is why they didn’t want y’all teaching. THIS.
@HeerJeet no but its a handy signal for what pro-Israel provocateurs can do to get those batons crackin quick
So, you’re seeing wealthy donors get a lot of power because they can stipulate where the money goes (hence why you’re seeing so many threaten to stop their contributions), and you have institutions feeling obligated to them because there’s an arm race to increase endowment. /6
I won’t get into all the tax implications, but there’s a tax game that wealthy donors and institutions can play. Wealthy donors can donate for tax advantages and institutions can largely avoid paying taxes because they are non-profit (capital gains) and get tax breaks. /5
Suddenly, you have hedge fund managers in the game promising big returns. The more money raised, the more returns. And this meant schools needed more money so they shifted to trying to fund fields that would produce wealthy graduates and donors (aka not humanities). /3
Colleges are resisting divestment more now than ever partially because they shifted their endowments from low risk assets to private equity and real estate hedge funds in the mid to late 80s. It caused endowments to soar and institutions to center big donors /2
