Why the State Can’t Compromise with the Gaza Solidarity Movement—And What That Means for Us
https://crimethinc.com/Encampments2024
On April 17, students at Columbia University initiated an on-campus encampment in solidarity with Gaza. After the administration called in the New York City police department in a failed attempt to evict the encampment, students across the country established encampments and occupations of their own.
Why are the police being so heavy-handed? Why are the media contorting themselves into increasingly bizarre contradictions to condemn the protests? Why are the Democrats and the Republicans united in opposing these protests? And how is it that, in their haste to crack down, university administrations, politicians, and police appear to have forgotten the basic principles of protest management?
In this analysis, participants in the movement explore the strategic questions it confronts today.

Need to decorate new room.
Jakakolwiek debata o przyszłych działaniach politycznych lub gospodarczych, pomijająca przyspieszającą sukcesję ekologiczną, jest wadliwa u podstaw i powinna zostać sformułowana na nowo.

Over on the Permacomputing mailing list, I just learned about this super cool project by @thentrythis:

Hundreds Arrested at UCLA Palestine Protest, Immigration Raid Shutdown in South London | Novara Media
Police have arrested hundreds of Palestine protestors at a UCLA encampment. Plus: a south London immigration raid has been blocked by the community; and Labour have diluted yet another policy offer. With Moya Lothian-McLean and @NoJusticeMTG …Novara Media
The parallels between then and now burn a little. The way the ghost girls were treated lines up with how the media and the medical community in general (with a few exceptions) portrays Long Covid patients. When USDA or FDA officials assure us it's safe to drink pasteurized milk, when they actually don't know for sure, their behavior echoes the U.S. Radium Corporation telling 14-year-old girls it's totally fine to lick radium a hundred times a day.

If your president is actively funding, arming, and supporting a genocide and you call him “a good person” and “a good president”, maybe it’s time to take a good, long look in the mirror and wonder where things went wrong for you and whether you can see a path back to reclaiming your humanity.

1984 to the rescue! I submit “double-plus-un-bad” for your consideration.
In all seriousness, anyone supporting genocide can’t be called “good”. He may be “marginally less horrible” but not “good”.
Also, if a policy position that doesn’t include genocide is too much to ask… I don’t know what to tell you.
wow, Wow, WOW !!!

My faculty association's response to the university's recent letter to students:
"The Administration appears to believe that with the stroke of a pen it can transform freedom of expression from a fundamental right, the protection of which is the sine qua non of the University, into a privilege that the Administration may confer or deny at its pleasure. This cannot stand."

Report
In a first potential concession from a US university on student protests, Brown U reaches agreement with protesters.
Protestors would remove their encampment in exchange for the institution considering divesting from Israel.
5 students will be invited to meet with five members of Brown in May to present their arguments, & the board will vote on the proposal in October.
Note: "consider"; "vote in October"

talks with the university on these grounds pretty much never turn out well.
they deliberately single out a manageable number of students - 5, in this case.
the administration or board meets with the students and feigns taking your cause seriously.
they offer you a weak, pandering "resolution" which relies on some kind of follow-up (in this case, a vote in 5 months)
you stop protesting/organizing/demonstrating.
months pass, follow-up never happens (which was the plan/expectation all along), you transfer, graduate, drop-out, etc.
years later nothing has changed and from the university's perspective it's as if you were never there.
if you're lucky they do make a change, but it's on their terms and it happens in a way which preserves and prioritizes the power group's comfort & complacency.
