Met with my lawyer today and got a nifty script to tape to the inside of my front door. They also gave me a blank one “to put on twitter” so here you go!
Holy shit a cop in Coeur D’Alene straight up said they have informants inside Patriot Front who told them they were loading up in the back of a UHaul with weapons, and they’re being arrested on conspiracy to riot.
Atlanta Police Department hiring event in Brooklyn was disrupted today by abolitionists who released 300 crickets into the Marriott hosting. The fire alarm was also pulled.
Per release: “We are everywhere. We are the horde of locusts that will destroy you.”
“I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest,” he says calmly, walking down a street. “But compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”
“You call yourself a feminist? Women are dying in Gaza, you fucking coward!”
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton confronted by anti-genocide protestors Wednesday night after hosting yet another fundraiser for Biden in NYC.
“Has anyone told you you ARE the superpredator?”
“He is one of the most principled comrades I’ve ever known,” said Xylem, who worked with Bushnell to support San Antonio’s unhoused residents.
“He’s always trying to think about how we can actually achieve liberation for all with a smile on his face,” said Errico.

“I have been consistent in my comments. No one likes to see children die. But Hamas must be destroyed. The hostages must be returned home. And we can end the violence by taking the necessary steps to do so.”
At around 4am today, hundreds of
@Columbia
students descended on the main lawn and launched the Gaza Solidarity Encampment.
Nearly 60 tents were erected in minutes, with plans to remain until the school divests from Israel’s genocide of Palestine.
Washable red paint splashed on the garage door magically becomes “damages exceeding $400” and a few drops landing on a cop’s uniform becomes “battery” in the name of repressing dissent against mass death. Incredible.
BREAKING:
Nancy Pelosi is pressing charges against peace activists in San Francisco. Apparently some red paint was spilled and now the activist is facing felony and battery charges.
This needs more attention!!

Banner drop over Yankee Stadium this afternoon by anonymous anti-genocide activists.
The banner scattered hundreds of flyers on the crowd of fans waiting to enter, calling attention to the team’s support of Israel’s genocide.
Full statement here:
BREAKING: City College of New York has launched a Gaza Solidarity Encampment.
Per release, “Organizers at CUNY draw on the legacy of the 1969 CUNY student protest movement, when more than 200 Black and Puerto Rican students de-occupied campus buildings at CCNY… for 17 days.”
Happening now: Activists have blockaded entry to JFK International Airport on one of the busiest travel days of the year to bring attention to the humanitarian right to return home, which has been withheld from Palestinians for decades.
For a full minute, police (unknown sector, maybe fed or DC) see him, say “May I help you sir?” and as he’s on fire scream at him to get on the ground but do not otherwise engage. One cop appears with a gun drawn on the man after he collapses, still consumed by flames.
Massive faculty walkout at Columbia today in solidarity with suspended student protestors.
Faculty wore sashes reading “We support students” & are calling on the schools to unsuspend students from Barnard and Columbia who participated in the Gaza Solidarity Encampment.
Massive walkout at Harvard in solidarity with Columbia students today. no better way to bring students together than a demonstration of universities’ appetite for repression
🚨RAZORS are now allegedly being put behind ‘Kidnapped’ posters — a tactic dating back to the 90s of Nazi skinheads doing the same, and which has largely been employed by white nationalists to harm antifascists who remove their stickers.
NEW from me: 'Kidnapped' posters have sprung up globally -- as has filming & IDing people tear them down.
I spoke with the creator of the posters, people who were identified taking them down, a man who threatened to assault people, & more.

NYPD blockaded the Free Palestine protest in Brooklyn from continuing to march and began playing the LRAD threatening arrest as crowd chants “Move, cops, get out the way. We know you’re Israeli-trained.”
A man from New Jersey has been identified as a sniper for the IDF.
IDF snipers are notorious for shooting Palestinians as a game, with countless videos of them shooting & killing people for no reason — most notably the assassination of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.
This past week pictures of an American IOF Golani patrol sniper went viral on X.
He has now been positively identified as long time NJ resident Arik Nagel of Teaneck, NJ. Nagel is an ardent zionist and teacher in Paramus.
Zionist instigators yelled antisemitic hate speech at a pro-Palestine demo, then accused the demo of being the ones to do so, which the university used as justification without investigation for bringing in the state to forcibly arrest demo participants.
BREAKING: Working Mass can confirm that the antisemitic chants were shouted not by encampment organizers, but by pro-Israel counter-supporters. We are waiting on a response from Northeastern about their decision to arrest their own students in light of this new information.
“APD we don’t want your shit!”
Toilets at the Brooklyn Marriott hosting an Atlanta Police hiring event this weekend have been clogged with cement, “shrimp on the side.”
The venue was wheatpasted last night, with crickets & fire alarm pulled yesterday.
Overnight, the Brooklyn Marriott hosting an Atlanta Police hiring event this weekend was tapped by autonomous activists who left wheatpastes of Tortuguita — days after their birthday — and some fresh paint.
Comes after another group released crickets & pulled the fire alarm.
I called her Kaylie because she seems like a Kaylie. She claimed her “Hebrew name” is Margalit.
In reality, her name is Justine Brooke Murray and she is a member of the christofascist-led NYYRC and works for far-right outlet Newsmax.
One cop (white shirt, maybe security, it’s not clear) begins spraying him with a fire extinguisher, the cop with gun drawn remains stationary. White shirt yells “I don’t need guns, I need fire extinguishers!” More cops arrive, as do EMTs. 3 fire extinguishes are used.
Newlywed
@NerdeenKiswani
came to Gaza Solidarity Encampment from her wedding to give words of encouragement to students.
“We don’t want to wait for them to teach about our genocide 20 years later when we have the means & opportunities to stop it right now,” she said to the camp.
These people brought their babies with them to a highly sensitive and militarized zone on the border of Gaza in order to celebrate illegally blocking humanitarian assistance meant for a desperate and starving Palestinian population that has been bombarded with 2,000 pound bombs…
“Where is your fearlessness for the women of Gaza? Where is your fearlessness for the women of Haiti?”
A member of the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem disrupts White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s speech to the congregation today, per video sent in.
“Cops come here all time for nothing. Get a tiny scratch, go to the ER, wait for hours. They don’t care cuz they’re on the clock. It’s for their pension, they get more money if they claim injury.” - ER doctor to me after I said I got injured filming a police rush on protestors.
Oh dear, I just heard from someone in the pageant world that Justine calling the protest “jihadists” to stoke hate (which she is currently doubling down on on twitter) could get her in trouble with/DQ’d from the Miss America Organization & Miss New Jersey chapter 😿
BREAKING: Princeton University has launched a Gaza Solidarity Encampment.
They have 5 demands:
Disclose & divest from Israel’s genocide, end research on weapons manufacturing incl. AI, academic & cultural boycott, create Palestinian affiliations, call for a permanent ceasefire.
We raised our encampment in solidarity with Gaza to protest Princeton's role in funding the ongoing genocide! We join a national movement of students speaking out against the occupation, fighting for Palestinian liberation.
JOIN US at McCosh Plaza to support us and get involved!
MORE INFO: The person who self-immolated apparently emailed reporters this morning stating "Today, I am planning to engage in an extreme act of protest against the genocide of the Palestinian people,” and stated that it would be live-streamed on Twitch.
BREAKING: NYU students with
@nyupscoalition
have launched a Gaza Solidarity Encampment.
Per media release, the encampment is *also* calling on their school to divest from Israel & to end its Tel Aviv satellite campus.
Security scrambled to stop the students, but failed.
NEW: An autonomous network of active duty service members across nearly all U.S. Armed Forces branches have released an open letter condemning Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
“Support for the conduct of the IDF is unacceptable and inconsistent with our values in the US Armed Forces.”
Hundreds of riders trying to flee a recent subway shooting were forced to exit one at a time, the emergency door locked — an effort to deter against fare evasion.
Critics of measures taken to deter fare evasion warned of a scenario exactly like this.
Activists in the Bay Area claim to have sabotaged a “Friends of the IDF” gala by filling a water main to the building with concrete, citing the IDF’s tendency to do the same as inspiration.
Stills of Zionists who attended yesterday’s protest hosted by christofascist Sean Feucht, as documented by an anti-Zionist Jew at Columbia who simply stood filming the crowd pass.
“None of their actions suggested any concern for Jewish safety. All I saw was hate.”
He walks to the driveway of the Israeli embassy, places his phone down to film, goes up the driveway, dumps liquid from a metal water bottle over his head, tosses the bottle, places his uniform hat on his head. He pulls out a lighter from his pocket and struggles to light it.
Columbia University has given the Gaza Solidarity Encampment/Liberated Zone until 9pm to clear the lawn. Negotiations ongoing.
Per multiple sources off-acampus, there are a significant number of NYPD outside that seem ready to move in.
Students are going over Know Your Rights.

Stealing & hitting the person you just stole from for filming you is not very nice. Were you a bully when you played football at Amherst, too?
Nov 17, one of our NY followers was harassed by this white man on the train when she was on her way to a pro-Palestine protest. He snatched & broke her Palestinian flag from her and then hit her twice. This is a hate crime. Let’s protect our Muslim sisters. Who knows this man??
Columbia University decided to have over a hundred students arrested to shut down a Gaza Solidarity Encampment, which in turn spawned dozens of encampments in solidarity with Columbia, which universities chose to use state violence to shut down, which spawned more encampments…
Funny thing is, I clocked that she was there to spread hate instantaneously — she was practically salivating filming the crowd and her vibe was drenched in trying to be sneaky.
I stood near her waiting for it, and in seconds she started on the “jihadist” shit.
That the NYPD is emboldened to act like this toward state lawmakers, alongside telling City Council they’re not invited, because they’re Democrats and not Republicans feels like the makings of a police state going rogue.

Cornel West arrived to Columbia and hopped the fence of the south lawn, to massive applause (and some kids asking “Who is that?”).
“Use your platform for peace!” someone tells him as he readies to hop. “And justice!” he adds.
After an announcement that Columbia University will allow students to stay in tents through the week — and after sleeping exposed through rain, wind, and cold temps for two nights — the Gaza Solidarity Encampment rapidly erected several tents even bigger than their first round.
Good morning from Columbia University, where the Gaza Solidarity Encampment is now on day 2.
Yesterday, administration threatened to suspend all students in this demo & the specter of an NYPD sweep loomed among the rain clouds.
Protestors are starting to emerge from their tents
Per source at Columbia, an FDNY fire inspector who visited the Gaza Solidarity Encampment just now determined there is no issue regarding fire safety because the encampment is outdoors.
I countered they are New Yorkers protesting against genocide. She said “That’s not happening.” I asked her to confirm: Genocide isn’t happening? She said “Yep.” I then read her the definition of genocide.
She started shaking. I started filming.
A “merry band of miscreants” entered a Whole Foods in NYC, lifted a bunch of groceries, & walked out in Jeff Bezos masks.
Per communique, the action was in protest against corporate wealth alongside increased food insecurity & to call attention to Amazon’s contracts with Israel.
To those yelling at me for not posting the video: He self-identifies in it. His family has not been notified. I can’t publish the footage, let alone name him, prior to family notification and official confirmation.
That’s a safety marshal you dumb baby.
Their role is to deescalate, putting their bodies between agitators (and cars) and the protest to keep people exercising their First Amendment rights safe. They also sometimes act as police liaisons to communicate between protestors & cops.
An attendee of the antivax rally last night was chatting with another attendee. She pauses, clears her throat and looks briefly winded for a moment. She looks up again and says:
“Danny’s in the hospital with covid… I have it too.”
*have* it. Not *had.* Present tense.
Four years since Breonna Taylor was shot to death in her bed.
Her killers were never charged for her murder — jurors claim the Attorney General never gave them the option to consider indicting the cops on charges directly linked to her death.

This far right mobilization against queer people at Pride events is a direct response to transphobic and queerphobic fearmongering pushed by far right pundits and outlets such as The Daily Wire and LibsOfTikTok — all of which is inspired by Ron DeSantis’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
NYPD engaged in a ton of random, violent arrests tonight. This one, people were marching in the street and NYPD SRG ran up to a guy and grabbed him from the neck from behind.
Prior to this, people were just… marching.
For a full minute, police (unknown sector, maybe fed or DC) see him, say “May I help you sir?” and as he’s on fire scream at him to get on the ground but do not otherwise engage. One cop appears with a gun drawn on the man after he collapses, still consumed by flames.
