some photos i took from emerson college’s encampment for palestine. most of these were taken only a few hours before the boston PD attacked hundreds of protestors and brutally arrested 108 students, most of whom were poc, jewish, and/or queer.

anyone who spent any amount of time in the encampment will tell you just how much it brought us all together—there was always food, music, arts and crafts, and hundreds of messages of support written in chalk.

after the BPD was done brutalising us for peacefully protesting, they power washed down the walls of the encampment—all of these messages are gone. theyre trying to erase what happened, but they’ll never truly be able to. everyone saw, and everyone will remember.

heavy police presence at columbia, SRG, SWAT and counterterrorism deployed

reports that everyone has been kicked off campus except students barricaded inside hind’s hall

listen to WKCR columbias student radio for live updates

in general I think this website has a serious problem about wanting to feel smugly superior about Literally Everything without spending even five seconds thinking about it first

Pray for everyone in rafah there's heavy bombing right now there. I can't sleep thinking of my family 😭

NYPD is starting to raid the CCNY encampment right now after protestors took over the administrative hall, riot cops and helicopters gathering by Columbia at the same time. both schools are trying to clear the encampments by tonight or tomorrow morning

Hi anon, I appreciate your question re conversion (which I termed "the conversion industrial complex") but I'm very busy. Will try and get to it sometime next week. It's a question that requires a decent amount of background is all.

Thanks for sending!

protests have literally made it to antartica

Condolences to anyone else whose city's May Day has been subsumed and thus ruined by PSL

Tumblr keeps not putting in readmores so I guess it's out of my hands how petty this post is

How would you respond to the assertion of zionists that bringing up Jewish pro Palestine supporters is tokenism or it's like Black people who support Trump or w.e? I mean the latter feels obviously stupid but I was wondering what your thoughts are. Sometimes I see posts about antisemitism re: Israel that concern me bc ofc I want to take it seriously but then it becomes obvious the poster is a liberal zionist. It seems wrong and disturbing to automatically doubt claims of anti semitism for me (I'm not Jewish).

in any instance its an ideological issue and one ideology is representative of an oppressive colonial force backed by western imperialists and one is a demand for liberation from that very oppression. it doesnt really matter whos involved. the value of bringing up jewish involvement exists only in contrast to people insisting these protests arent safe for jews. otherwise i think appeals to identity are already inherently kind of liberal. it just matters to show people this is an ideological conflict not a racial battle and jewish students who are 'uncomfortable' are uncomfortable because of what they believe not because theyre being targeted for their religion/ethnicity
