Here is a download of the article that UCLA is censoring. cdn.fbsbx.com/v/t59.2708-21/…
I meant every word of this when I said it just hours before police beat and arrested students nationwide, and I mean every word of it today when CNN and the mainstream media are telling you otherwise
A friendly May Day reminder that cops aren’t workers and never have been, and that their continued inclusion in our unions (and of police “unions” within the @AFLCIO) remains a stain on the entire labor movement. They’re just bosses with a license to kill teenvogue.com/story/what-to-…
BREAKING: Cornell attempted to bribe me with academic credit into staying silent on our Liberated Zone and similar encampments across the country. I refused. 🧵
Students inside have locked arms in a circle. Outside, they’re trying the tarp thing again
Stunning violence last night at @UCLA after pro-Israel mob attacks pro-Palestinian encampment. Several injuries reported. @latimes @safinazzal rushed to the scene with eyewitness reports. latimes.com/california/sto…
more cops there, students say they're making arrests, community presence still being requested at 60th and Columbus

UPDATE FROM ONE POLICE PLAZA: - No press allowed inside Hind’s Hall, including WKCR. - Multiple Columbia students were taken straight to the hospital due to severe injuries by NYPD. - Students had swollen faces from being kicked repeatedly by police.
Students have only been in there for about an hour. Police/security are locking down the building. Also doing this: dropping a tarp to obscure signs on the windows.

Never fails lol. So undefeated they should hang a banner.
As public support swings to student protesters getting brutalized and arrested (support goes up when public sees state suppression), the ‘outside agitators’ narrative will get deployed across the country as it was at Columbia. The story will be ‘it’s not these college kids…’

You can see security running away as assaults and violence broke out.
Security guards hired by @UCLA retreated and hid inside a building last night as counter-protesters attacked a pro-Palestine encampment. They refused to let anyone else inside, including UCLA student journalists covering the events, @dailybruin reports: dailybruin.com/2024/05/01/pro…

My email to my professors this semester
journalism students are doing their jobs with diligence and rigor, but this is where we're at with the biggest, most prestigious, most well-resourced newsrooms in the country.
I always knew faculty self-governance had become a bit of a joke, but I don't think I had internalized just how big a joke it was. For all the talk about the "infantilism" of our students, the true case of self-imposed immaturity in the university must be the faculty.
Congressman Bowman was the ONLY elected official who visited campus and spoke to BOTH students (of all faiths) at the Solidarity Encampment AND Jewish students who were not part of or had reservations about the protests. He heard everyone. That’s what leadership looks like.
When I was 11, I was a victim of police brutality just for being Black in America. Now I see that brutality being inflicted on peaceful students at Columbia and across the country. We must stand with our students to demand liberation for Palestinians and everyone in this world.

Here's a recording of WKCR tonight from around 9:10 to 10:15. Mortifying dropbox.com/scl/fi/t7fmof9…
The White House is lying through their teeth about student organizing for Palestine at the @PressSec briefing. This is embarrassing.
Ben Wright, a professor of history with a focus on abolition studies, is leading a read-in at the University of Texas Dallas liberated zone. He told me that one of the things they're reading today is an article about how universities in Gaza have been destroyed.
Again and again, the main victims of violence and attacks, whether from police or from counter-protesters with knives or sprays, are the pro-Palestine students.
Early this afternoon, an unknown individual was detained after he walked through the encampment and sprayed an odorous unknown substance on signs in the encampment. thedp.com/article/2024/0…
This is so incredibly wild to watch if you remember the UC Davis pepper spray incident in 2011. That was a HUGE story—the cops' names weren't even released until a 2014 court order, and UC Davis spent 175K to scrub the pictures from the internet. But TEAR GAS?!
Breaking: Florida cops are using tear gas and rubber bullets on students at the University of South Florida.
When I occupied a building at Berkeley in 2009, the university’s spokesperson told CNN that there weren’t any students inside the building. Of the 43 of us, there were 2 non-students: a Democracy Now cameraman and the partner of a student.
It will be interesting to learn how many of those arrested in Hamilton Hall at Columbia are actually students.
