Red Emma's
@redemmas
Worker owned radical bookstore, fair trade coffeehouse, community events space, and vegan restaurant.
When this sites shuts down, we have a building and you can just come visit us in person and hang out and read books.
We were excited to welcome @dereckapurnell back to the store tonight to join @OlufemiOTaiwo in conversation on his new book, but she was injured defending a student from the police at Columbia last night. @LesterSpence has graciously agreed to pinch hit, though, so see you at 7!
Last night I was injured as a result of NYPD’s reckless and indiscriminate violence against protestors at Columbia last night. A group of us rightfully tried to stop a group of 10+ cops who body slammed a student, choked him, and put his knee into his back before arresting him
More free posters this week, fresh off the riso. Don't stop talking about, donating to, and fighting for the people of Gaza. Israel is committing mass murder with weaponized famine and starvation at this very moment and the US government is complicit in this genocidal slaughter.
My family in Gaza City have sent me desperate pleas for help just now -they fear it is not longer a matter of whether, but when they die, under heavy Israeli bombardment tonight -“pls pray for us-prayers are all we have left.”

Every day, nonstop—journalists, medics, parents hunting for food, kids playing, teens in cafés—slaughtered. And that’s it. The headlines? Netanyahu’s plans. Trump’s visit. Endless global conferences.. The killings go on. Food’s blocked. No one is even attempting to stop it.
