Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results may not be the correct definition of insanity, but it is the definition of American #protest culture. You can’t defend someone if you refuse to actually defend. Fighting for what’s right is just that; a fight.
If there’s one lesson we should have learned over the past two decades, it’s no amount of playing by the rules will protect you from being portrayed and punished as a #anarchist.
The news out of Columbia University and UCLA last night is horrific. I can't even think of anything articulate to say, just...
Fuck the police.
Fuck genocide. I stand with those protesting against genocide and senseless killing.
The Columbia administration should be ashamed of themselves for calling in the cops. The right-wing thugs in LA are just plain shit-stains on the ass of humanity.
"U.S. Border Patrol agents freely used the derogatory slur “tonk” to describe unauthorized migrants on government computers, at times while joking about killing or beating them" #fascism#acab
Last night police and campus security reportedly stood by and allowed a fascist mob to beat pro-ceasefire protesters with impunity for hours so I think we've found our outside agitators.
Another predictable consequence of this moral panic that's gripped the country. #gazaprotests#gaza#acab
I think it's insane that the NYPD, one of the most militarized cop armies in the so-called United States, was given complete freedom to authoritarian violence on students for hours on end and then had the gall to tell the remaining students that they can now safely walk the campus.
Truly, every cop is a valid target. If this is how the state responds to the power of the people, we have no reason to be peaceful. We have no reason to empathize with the agents of the state.
Hamilton Hall was raided by the pigs on April 30th, 1968, a Tuesday. The students stood for justice against racial violence and the imperialist war. Now, on April 30th, 2024, a Tuesday, Hamilton Hall has once again been raided by the pigs, ordered to suppress resistance from students who are standing against imperialist genocide, here and now.
it's almost as if NYC has been overtaken by fascists. forget about the presidents of Columbia, Bard, NYU. get rid of #ACAB Eric Adams. if not one democrat will reduce the size of the NYPD, then put them all together into a revival of the Titanic or Lusitania and send off to sea.
