SCOOP: NYU Law has barred 31 pro-Palestine students from campus & demanded they renounce their right to protest in exchange for being allowed to return & take final exams. The shifting policies, a professor said, are “a complete violation of campus norms.”

BREAKING: Students at City College of New York Reportedly Attacked by Campus Security and NYPD During Gaza Solidarity Action
Students who established what they called a “Liberated Zone” at City College of New York (CCNY) were “brutally attacked” by campus security and NYPD, according to CUNY for Palestine, a coalition of students and workers organizing for Palestinian liberation. Footage from the scene shows police pepper-spraying students.
Multiple arrests were reported. Organizers are calling on community members to mobilize for jail support at 139th & Amsterdam or 1 Police Plaza.

The point is not just “Giving the person 20 bucks,” it is “How can we create strong social networks so this person doesn’t get into crisis again, and also feels incorporated into a space or community where they can get active and are supported and supportive in other ways?”

These kinds of tactics, which are both confrontational and participatory, remain necessary in all struggles for liberation.

Heartbroken doesn’t cut it. The subway should be safe and free. The NYPD committed a mass shooting over $2.90, now Gregory Depelche is brain dead. We need to lift people out of poverty, not criminalize it. The NYPD put every person on the train in danger. NYC needs care, not cops

Protesters in NYC managed to shake NYPD for long enough to pull off a mass fare evasion at the West 4th street subway stop. Protesters bravely opened the emergency gate for each other despite cops trying to stop them. Cops then began grabbing & attacking protesters in the subway.

A mass shooting is when 4 or more people are shot.
Today, NYPD shot 3 subway riders and also a cop. NYPD committed a mass shooting on the subway, all over one person allegedly using an emergency exit instead of paying $2.90.
This is the NYPD under Eric Adams and Kathy Hochul.

palestinian journalists have been risking their lives for months to document every single massacre and instead people are reposting an ai-generated “art” that says “all eyes on rafah” and tells us nothing about what is actually happening on the ground or gives us any action items
