@MayorofIrvine just put out a statement. “I am asking our law enforcement to stand down. I will not tolerate any violations to our students rights to peacefully assemble and protest.”
This is both a. an incredibly brave display by a local elected, and b. the product of the advocacy and work of the students themselves. Incredible.

Incredible sights at UT Austin as the growing protest marches against retreating (and mace wielding) cops, to retake the south lawn they were forced from earlier. Protests will not stop until UT divests from all interests in Israel. Hartzell and Abbot can't intimidate us.
Well Elliot Abrams said Israel is a democracy so
Bassem Tamimi, father of Ahed Tamimi, is still in Israeli prison after serving 6 months under administrative detention. He was supposed to be released yesterday, but an Israeli military court extended his detention another 6 months. He hasn't been charged with anything.
80% of Jewish Israelis think Israel should not participate in Gaza's rebuilding. 12.8% think Israel should.
33.9% of Jewish israelis have said they've seen "many pictures & video" of the destruction of Gaza while 53.3% say a "few". 11.4% say none. Of those who have seen images, 45.2% say they have seen from Israeli media, 25.8% on social media, 21.9 on Whatsapp or Telegram.
Mid-April IDI poll: Only 6.5% of Jewish Israelis believe the Gaza Strip should be handed back to a Palestinian org of any kind (in this case the PA). 22.5% want settlements in Gaza, while 27.2% want to indefinitely "control Gaza militarily" & 34.1% want a "international force"

This is such a dangerous precedent being set by Democratic Party leaders who are playing right into the hands of MAGA crackdown on both activists and higher education.

My number one priority is protecting the safety of all New Yorkers and students — both Jewish students and students protesting. Every student deserves to feel safe walking on their campus.

Given Fetterman's cynical embrace of Trump's immigration positions since winning, can't help but find this ominous and think about what he's giving himself permission for here if Trump wins.
That’s America and democracy—the absolute right to exercise one’s voice. In 2024, it comes with a tremendous responsibility: turn your back on Biden and you embrace Trump. If you play with that fire and deliver Trump a Michigan win, you own that burn.
Bassem Tamimi, father of Ahed Tamimi, is still in Israeli prison after serving 6 months under administrative detention. He was supposed to be released yesterday, but an Israeli military court extended his detention another 6 months. He hasn't been charged with anything.

Without exaggeration, at least a third of conservative argumentation now is, "Yeah? Well...you're ugly."
Attractive, smart ppl don’t join these protests. They have good lives and don’t need fake activism to make themselves feel special.
It's incredible to see Columbia faculty and students protecting those inside the encampment. Their unwavering solidarity is inspiring and we must continue to fight for an end to the indiscriminate killing of thousands of Palestinians and the return of the hostages.
NOW: Columbia University faculty link arms and form a wall in front of the entrance to the ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment’ as hundreds of students encircle the both lawns Students remaining in the encampment were told they could face disciplinary action after 2PM
Chaos as they deploy what seems to be a stun grenade
there are two faculty members at the entrances blocking apd from entering the building and the students inside
update: apd closed access to this building (early) despite classes being session. students are stuck in the classrooms above. police are making their way up and folks down here are yelling up at the kids to call their parents and other instructions re how to stay safe from apd
This is such a dangerous precedent being set by Democratic Party leaders who are playing right into the hands of MAGA crackdown on both activists and higher education.
New: 21 House Democrats led by Reps. Gottheimer and Goldman sent a letter to Columbia’s board of trustees telling them to “act decisively” to end the encampment or resign. It’s a major escalation of Democrats’ rhetoric. @axios axios.com/2024/04/29/hou…
"We have begun suspending students" - Ben Chang, Columbia VP for comms
UChicago is upholding its legacy as a forum for frank and open debate! (Offensive pedantry in service of state repression of groups & causes disfavored by elites.)
Idk but Joe Biden does
@El_Plato @mustachetoilet @isaiah_bb I do think you kill thousands of children by being stupid and not careful. But if your goal is genocide, your goal is killing all the children. Don't sugar coat it. Do you really believe Israel is killing all of them? I'm curious, do you protest the genocide in Ukraine as well?
This is beautiful to watch - the people firmly, bravely standing against state violence wielded to shut down demands to halt a genocide.
Everyone has seen the bonk video, but it's worth watching the full thing to see how Cal Poly kids pushed out riot cops. Look at the brave people in the front, faces literally pressed against shields! Look at how everyone's holding onto each other so no one can get grabbed away!
