Do you know why the establishment is smearing students who protest,slandering them as foreign agents,etc?
Because they are winning: #TrinityCollegeDublin agreed to #divest in 5 DAYS
#Trinity College Cambridge, the wealthiest constituent college of the University of Cambridge, has reportedly decided to #divest from all arms companies after pro-Palestine protests on campus, as reported by The Middle East Eye.
Great news: UK university divests from Israel-linked arms companies following pressure
“The University of York has been forced to divest from weapons and arms manufacturers tied to Israel after a series of protests from a student-led coalition.”
If #Northwestern can issue this statement--when AFAIK they are basically owned by General Dynamics, or something to that effect--it really puts the lie to other institutions' administrators' inability to do anything other than roll around in their own shit while calling the cops. Pardon my French.
Trinity College, Cambridge UK, has approximately 60k invested in Elbit, the company that makes parts for Israeli weapons that are currently slaughtering tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians.
We paid the college a visit today whilst they had an open day for new students to spread the word of their complicity in genocide. #TrinityCollege - We shall be back! #Divest#DBS#ShutDownElbit
WCK: 3X Israel bombed us in the area it ordered us to drive through for safety
NBC News: 7X Israel bombed the area it ordered civilians to go to for safety
NYT: 200X Israel bombed the area it ordered civilians to go to for safety
How can anyone STILL argue there's no intent?? What more needs to happen for it to be clear these bombings are intentional? How many more innocent people need to be killed? Horrific.
Glanced over the wall street journal and they are literally saying that university endowments won’t divest from israel or fossil fuels because they’d lose too much money…
Sorry for the paywall, I don’t have the ability to share the article.
In #Tampa, the University of South Florida #Divest Coalition was brutally beaten by the police, including those who were only documenting the police riot. The video attached is from USF.
At University of #Florida, the police also tore down tents and assaulted peaceful protestors
41 students were arrested after the #BrownDivestCoalition organized a sit-in at University Hall that began Monday morning. The students were charged with “willful trespass within school buildings” by Brown’s Department of Public Safety.
One of those stories in the FT that makes you wonder what on earth is wrong with some people... Do (some) investors not live on the same planet as the rest of us?
"Eighteen states have adopted some kind of anti-ESG legislation. Some of the laws ban “discrimination” against companies that sell #fossilfuel and #guns, others order state pension funds not to consider environmental and social factors while investing."
I always thought the shareholder value cartoon was pure satire, but this suggestion that Danish investors should invest in oil shares from Danish bank Saxo is naked tragi-farce..
(Especially when considering vulnerability of country to #SeaLevelRise)
