On Thursday APD, the FBI, GBI, and ATF executed three search warrants and made one arrest in pursuit of evidence related to an act of arson on police motorcycles. Thursday evening, a journalist asked if organizers [condemn] the arson. @Maryhooks from @CopCityVote responded:
Using grad speeches is so tactical bc you have the highest density of wealthy zionists––parents, donors, administrators––trapped in a single, live-streamed venue while an ideal American youth disproves the illusion that being pro-Palestine is fringe, unreasonable
GW is investigating this student for her speech "I cannot celebrate my own graduation without a heavy heart knowing how many students in Palestine have been forced to stop their studies, expelled from their homes, and killed for simply remaining in the country of their ancestors"
Zionists are going to put Ms Rachel in solitary confinement after this I adore this woman.

The world reacts to Black suffering in Africa like it’s routine, not a crisis. What’s happening in Sudan is not chaos or conflict, it is a genocide driven by imperial greed backed by foreign powers like the UAE. There is no justice when Black death is normalized.
Trump and the Right have weaponized false claims of antisemitism to smear pro-Palestinian protesters, and they’re using this lie as a smokescreen to destroy higher ed. As Jewish academics, we call on everyone to debunk this big lie and start telling the true story. 🧵 1/12
