Cops are shooting students at UCLA with less lethal munitions. They'd rather shoot kids than stop this genocide.
fwiw “tuition & fees don’t fund investments” is a strawman. no one is saying that! the divestment argument is that the university funds its operations in part w/investment returns from companies that profit from israel’s genocidal war. this is undeniable, which is why they dodge.

colleges: this essay has no thesis or argument. no clear evidence to support a thesis. it is vague. C- colleges sending emails after brutalizing their students over palestine: things in the world are complex. many people feel emotions. what is right or wrong? no one knows.

Giving us 15 minutes to pack up and leave from our housing is seriously twisted. I am not surprised at all — I am glad administration is finally showing their face to the general student body, because student organizers have known from the start how evil these administrators are.
Just got out of jail after Columbia called NYPD to mass arrest 100+ students. I have been suspended and evicted from housing by Barnard. This has only strengthened my commitment to the movement for Palestinian liberation and I promise to continue fighting for divestment.

This article from the @sfchronicle repeats an oft-heard myth about the origins of People's Park: that the site was originally acquired by the University of California "to make room for dormitories" But this isn't true. Here's where this myth comes from and why it persists:

They’re back! The Berkeley Property Owners Association’s paid signature gatherers are at UC Berkeley claiming their anti-rent control ballot measure is “pro-renter,” threatening to assault students, and calling people “f****ts.” Homophobia and high rents, courtesy of the BPOA.

Palestinians’ fight is a message for all other emancipatory movements. It declares the dignity of all who stand up to capital’s racism and fascism, and instead insists on building a world atop of equality and freedom. This capitalist world is not at all inevitable.

People put too much emphasis on Joe Biden's age and too little on his intellectual mediocrity, his arrogance, and his general lack of character.
We've started a list of universities where students have started Gaza solidarity encampments ✊🇵🇸 Warwick, Bristol, Leeds, Newcastle, Manchester, Sheffield, Swansea, Goldsmiths, UCL, & Edinburgh so far! Get in touch if you want to add one or a report notesfrombelow.org/article/gaza-s…
As workers in @uaw_4811 spent today preparing to escalate towards further labor action due to the violent repression against workers at ucla, students at UC Santa Cruz showed up. And they aren't leaving.
BREAKING @Columbia AAUP calls for a vote of no confidence in Pres. Shafik and the whole university administration
My and @rochowanski article on the reckoning in Georgia!! Unrest in Georgia over the “Foreign Influence Transparency Law”: “Whichever Way We Go Is a Step Back” lefteast.org/unrest-georgia…
This is exactly what’s making any normal observer feel insane. A pro-Israel mob attacked these kids with slurs, fists, mace, and fireworks. Police watched for HOURS & did nothing. A day later, police instead bombard *them* with rubber bullets & flashbangs. (All in a “blue” state)
Police are shooting rubber bullets at UCLA student kids: "I can tell you from doing stories about rubber bullets, they are extremely painful. If they hit your leg, your arm, they could break your arm."
In 2002, Edward Said gave a lecture at UCLA. There's a moment near the end which I've always loved. Said gets frustrated with a heckler and says "I don't feel like answering the question for you, you lout." As uniformed louts swarm the campus, don't answer their questions.
Finally, a clear headed analysis of what is happening in Georgia - read it!
Hot off the presses, my and @sopjap's take on what has caused the crisis in Georgia. Short version: it's a much older, deeper crisis of sovereignty and democracy than either side is willing to admit or do anything about. Please share and debate! lefteast.org/unrest-georgia…
Sharp analysis by @rochowanski and @sopjap of the political economy context from which the "foreign influence transparency law" sparking protests in Georgia stems: lefteast.org/unrest-georgia…
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-…
Let’s gooooooo
The UAW 4811 Executive Board is calling for a strike authorization vote in response to last night’s attacks at UCLA. uaw4811.org/updates/strike…
This impending strike authorization vote represents a powerful opportunity to use our worker power to support the encampments and stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people Excited to build a strike readiness plan and shut the UC down for BDS From the river to the sea 🇵🇸
Please see the below screenshots for an urgent message from our union. We call on all UC workers to begin preparing for a strike immediately in response to this repression. All workers should call meetings with their departments and make concrete plans for grade withholding.
47 years ago, May 1 1977, Santa Cruz-based ecological guerrilla group Environmental Life Force marked May Day by firebombing five planes used for pesticide application in Salinas, in what was likely the first left-wing environmentalist bombing in American history

This is actually what courage looks like when you stand against a fascist country like Israel that’s committing genocide and everyone with power in your country Georgia - opposition parties and government, EU, US love Israel. Israeli embassy usually harasses them after protest!
Here’s a quick thread clarifying the AAUP’s stance on antisemitism. The AAUP views the growth of antisemitism as a severe threat which can & should be addressed under existing civil rights laws as religious or race discrimination. 🧵
as a UCLA, Princeton, and Barnard grad who was going to give a keynote at Columbia today and just turned down a fellowship from UT Austin, I am frankly disgusted by very specific individuals at each of these illustrious institutions
The past 4 days, more than 20 departments met to discuss whether we might do a labor stoppage in solidarity with Palestinian workers. Last night, I helped lead a meeting with more than 200 graduate workers to discuss this possibility. And today, we've walked off the job ✊
Grad workers at UC Santa Cruz are walking off the job today in solidarity with the call from the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions. This year, International Workers' Day means international solidarity with Palestine.
NYPD beats up some students and faculty and it’s basically Iwo Jima.
