Any of your followers in Cali help with this?

The antisemitism awareness act, passed by congress yesterday, makes it illegal to criticize Israel on college campuses. Clear violation of the constitution, free speech.

Throughout the night there have been reports on the ground of police setting of loud "bangs" randomly away from the protest. This clip was around the time after the cop's first push into the encampment.

Reports on the ground suggest these were not flash bangs through into the crowd but were instead set off some distance away.

It seems to be an attempt to scare off protesters.

Cops have violently breached the UCLA camp's fence and have begun arresting people.

LAPD officers were seen shooting beanbags using shotguns targeting protesters at very close range.

The view from the front line of students showed riot cops advancing under cover of sustained firing of flash bangs grenade launchers.

The cops have started working to breakthrough the barricades and are letting off a large volley of flash-bang grenades.

This was the protest just before the cops started rioting, again.

Peaceful protest vs police

I hope you all are going to these protests and watching what's happening...

Or hospitals. Or mosques. Or libraries. Or government buildings (including registries, court houses, et al). Their entire civilization has been destroyed, just so those who destroyed it can call them "barbarians"..

#freepalestine

The UCLA Palestine Solidarity encampment has so far appeared free from serious police interference today.

They did however have run in's with an antagonistic group of Zionist who became violent.

One instance of police violence captured at Hind's Hall was a cop in tan pants throwing a person down a flight of stairs.

This incident was caught from several angels and feels like the sort of thing there will likely be law suits over.

Quick refresher, the student's named their liberated building after Hind. A young Palestinian girl whose finally moments were caught on an EMS call.

In the call Hind can be heard discribing how here family had just been murdered by an IDF tank crew. Her final words are snuffed out but the sounds of IDF machine gun fire.

Hind's body was eventually recovered from her family's car as well as those of her parents and the EMS crew dispatched to rescue Hind.

The union representing 3,000 grad student workers at USC has filed an unfair labor practice charge against USC to end campus militarization and drop charges against students and faculty arrested in Pro-Palistinian protests there.

USC Grad Student Union Files Unfair Labor Practice Charge Against University over Arrests

As protests continue on campuses across North America, we go to the University of Southern California, where the union representing about 3,000 graduate student workers at USC has filed an unfair labor practice charge against the school to end campus…

^{Democracy Now!}

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.

Free Palestine. Stop Genocide. 🇵🇸 ☮️

Throughout the day NYPD attempted to stop the flow of food and water onto campuses.

During the night time raids on campuses. Groups of cops were seen agitating crowds who'd gathered to support the students encampment. The cops randomly charged into them, tackling people and then arresting them.

At columbia, protesters outside of the campus linked arms to block the gates. The NYPD arrested them one at a time with over whelming force.

I'm not the only one who thinks the cops were over board. Here's a cop himself telling a loved one about his day . . .

His previous text reads:

"I thought we fucking shot someone"

Given how amped up they were to be using the batman-esque entrance I can see why the cop above thought they might have killed somebody.

And again, have we EVER seen this level of force used on fascist protests?

The NYPD severely beat and brutalized people as they arrested them last night.

Multiple students arrested had to be taken directly to the hospital.

This was a cop riot.

The cops worked to remove as many press people from the encampment prior to the sweep as possible.

#NYPD #NewYork #Columbia #FreePalestine

There's a TON of footage of brutal take downs, cops dog piling people who are already down, and of course dragging them while beating the crap out of them to make it look like their reaction to being dragged is them "resisting".

But, first I think you should see this meme!

"These pictures will be in history books someday!"

I'm tired of this fucking attitude because no they won't! Not unless we literally completely overthrow those in power over what we're educated about!

Why do folks think that so many people are JUST learning what Kent State even was this week? Why folks never learn the more radical teachings of Martin Luther King Jr.?

Seriously, even when this hopefully all ends and finally Israel is forced to stop this horrific slaughter, THE FIGHT IS NOT OVER.

Too many people out there are saying things like "the kids are alright" or even worse "the kids will save us" and it's sickening to hear. We cannot stop pushing once people get to feel mildly comfortable again. These students need to not be making these massive sacrifices for nothing.

We HAVE to finally fortify and fucking win for once because otherwise we've allowed the use of police to brutalize any citizen peacefully protesting against a fucking GENOCIDE to become normalized.

Even the Guardian's running a live blog of the campus protests.

I'm calling on the Irish government to back the Freedom Flotilla trying to get essential food and supplies to Gaza. They urgently need a flag to fly under. Can you sign?

If Hamas rejects the deal today and Netanyahu starts bombing Rafah, I don't want to hear anyone blaming them

WEEK 31: Students at UT Austin are fucking incredible. Here they are, literally *charging* at the police to drive them from the campus *while* they're being pepper sprayed, shouting "Who do you protect? Who do you serve?"

#FreePalestine

The column of cops plowed its way into the peaceful crowd of students.

#UTAustin #ACAB #FreePalestine

Students report seeing numerous arrests of students simply going about their day.

As the column of cops made their way through the crowd they began making random violent arrests.

The students have posted a request for jail support either by calling for release or with bail donations.
