Crackdowns are just stoking more protests. Comically inept response.

 @FerventVettedVoteGreenfrom Maine agreed…1mo1MO

if I were an accelerationist and were somehow made the president of a university, I don’t think I’d be doing anything different

I mean we know from 2020 how far the cops and ruling class are willing to go. They'd sooner see the downtowns of multiple major American cities blanketed in teargas for weeks on end than give even an inch to protestors. I doubt anyone has a problem with "stoking more protests"

I pray for the safety of these law enforcement officers as they face down the unspeakably, ruthless violence of college students in tents

 @BudgetBillBellaGreen from California commented…1mo1MO

Based on how they handled Uvalde, I hope their phones are charged

Wow. Texas State highway troopers at UT Austin because of student Palestine protesters. Open fascism.

If you were planning to attend a peaceful protest and learned about a heavy police presence, would you still go?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1mo1MO

What message do you think the deployment of Texas State Troopers to a pro-Palestine protest sends to students and the community?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1mo1MO

How important is it for students to be able to express their political beliefs on campus without a significant police presence?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1mo1MO

Do you think the presence of over 100 police officers at a university protest is a sign of protection or intimidation?

 @WorldlyCaucusDemocrat from New York commented…1mo1MO

Feels like we are headed for a whopper of a convention in August

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1mo1MO

How would you feel if a large number of police were deployed to a peaceful protest at your school?

 @V0terBadgerWomen’s Equality from Georgia commented…1mo1MO

UT sure loves its Arabic language program when it’s for sending grad students to the CIA. Having humanity for Palestinians? Can’t have that.
