Philly PD formation with riot helmets and shields exited the immediate barricaded occupation area a few mins ago - for 10-20 mins they were here seeming poised to clear the camp - a mix of officers and protesters remains around the re-erected interlinking metal fences

A Philly PD officer drew a taser on Drexel students and had to be stopped/held back by other cops during the earlier initial police push before they withdrew back to the barricades - before this clip taken earlier a PPD white shirt was heard yelling in frustration at underlings

https://unicornriot.ninja/2024/vandals-attack-caterpillar-building-in-tucson-on-nakba-day/

The construction company has long been a target of Palestinian solidarity campaigns as it continues to supply the IDF with machines used as weapons of war against civilian populations.

Late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, anonymous vandals smashed out at least five windows of the Caterpillar headquarters in Tucson, Arizona. They painted “murderers” on a remaining window in red spray paint.

The attack occurred as Palestinians and those standing in solidarity with them commemorate Nakba Day, the yearly commemoration of the 1948 war that resulted in the permanent displacement of a majority of Palestinians.
