NEW: Organizers from @ASU tell me state troopers zip tied and arrested a student who was barely conscious, after fainting from a POTS episode. Street medics tried to help her—they arrested the street medics. When her father came to help her, they zip tied him too.
It’s official. Hawai‘i is the first state to call for an immediate, permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
.@cmlcornell’s full statement on my and three other students’ suspensions from Cornell University. My proudest moments at Cornell have come organizing with these people — the most courageous, kind, and principled students, grad workers, staff and faculty on this campus.
I have also been evicted from my home on campus. My suspension comes during @Cornell’s “Freedom of Expression Theme Year,” where they have held numerous events celebrating the right to protest. More thoughts to come

Cornell University has temporary suspended me alongside 3 other students/grad workers. They have deliberately targeted students with precarious positions such as visa status. They have given me a grace period but I am no longer permitted on campus. I know they have done this as a…

My latest:
I'd love to speak to college organizers who have set up D/deaf, disabled and/or neurodivergent contingents at campus encampments for a piece. My email is in my bio and my DM’s are open. I’m curious about how disabled students are showing up for these protests.
I keep saying it but I really really hope this moment is bringing everyone to police abolition. Police will always stand between us and the future we want, no matter what form of justice you fight for. Abolition resource guide here: micahherskind.com/abolition-reso…

"This is the most participation that we have seen, by far, on campus, and it's a little, I would say, crazy right now with the amount of people" here, reporters says.
Columbia University is under pressure to cut financial ties with businesses dealing with Israel or profiting from the war on Gaza. It has divested from problematic industries in the past, so what about now? Al Jazeera's @soraya_lennie explains ⤵️

“Every generation has to agitate and demonstrate. We are part of a long chain. And this should be a wake up call for universities, who are often behind the curve, behind the nation.”

the campus landscape is a unique one, & it’s one with a well-documented history & countless examples (which may mean we know more amount about them), but i don’t think it’s any more unique than any other particular option for a given political confrontation.
so then the energy is built & sustained collectively. it might be deliberately concentrated at different pressure points, but the energy & momentum is a kind of continuum. maybe? easier said than done, for sure tho.
maybe this is too simplistic an answer, but maybe it just looks like the full range of strategic opportunities, both on & off-campus, genuinely being thought of as fluid options of equal consideration (w/ differing proximities & risks) for both students & community.
I don’t mean people should move off the campuses completely either, to be clear—the distinction between street movements and current movements needs to end, and this needs to be figured out
Today's PC culture of fear of offending people wouldn't let a 38 year old Seinfeld date a 17 year old girl.

🚨🚨 BREAKING: CCNY SHUTS DOWN FOOD PANTRY AS COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT FOR PRO-PALESTINE ENCAMPMENT. 🚨🚨
🚨City College announces it is closing its food pantry as a result of the solidarity encampment. In 2022, 40% of CUNY students reported having low or very low food security. Thats 110,000 students.
