🚨 Over 25 students were arrested at 3 AM today by over 100 police officers armed with batons at Cal Poly Humboldt, including a journalist and professor Dr. Rouhollah Aghasalehi, who has embarked on a hunger strike.
Dr. Aghasalehi stated: "I refuse to accept the label of criminal for standing up for an ethical reason...Until all my students and me are released and justice is served, I will endure this hunger strike as a testament to the strength of my convictions and unwavering commitment to truth and justice."
Besides arrests, students were handed suspensions. But they are unwavering and steadfast, determined to stand for the truth.
Intifada Hall (formerly "Siemens Hall"), the building occupied by the students for over a week, was cleared, after the students demonstrated a model in militancy and direct action for all solidarity actions.
A suspended student stated: "This is the student intifada, this is only the beginning, Palestine is inevitable."
"We have set an example for all schools and all people to look to for resistance. We are many, we are liquid, we are the collective, we are uncrushable... Intifada Hall was just the location we all gathered around."
They added: "Even if this liberated zone is cleared, we will never stop being connected to one another. We are all love. Our hope is resistance, and our hope is each other."
"We continue to call on Cal Poly Humboldt and [President] Tom Jackson to heed our principled demands for divestment, disclosure, and boycott of the zionist entity of Israel. Do not despair for our prisoners, but surround them with love and join their struggle for their freedom. This American occupation might try to make an example out of them, but we will surround them with more love and determination."
"Palestine will be liberated in our lifetimes, all colonies must fall."

🚨 Scenes of the massive police presence in New York as community members attempt to flood the gates and reach the encampments in solidarity with Palestine at Columbia University and CUNY. A shelter in place order has been called by Columbia University as hundreds of police officers are deployed.
We have put up the most glorious fight. We did not allow the movement to end with a false deal from Columbia. Keep all eyes on your comrades, mobilize to Columbia. If you are free, come to protect the encampment.
Columbia brought in a Caterpillar machine, the same company whose machinery bulldozes homes in Gaza and throughout Palestine. The same devices that have caused precious blood to spill in order to pave the way for settler colonies.
Columbia, shame on you. You will never be able to remove this blood stain from your ivory tower.
Palestine we LOVE you and we will hold strong for every single Palestinian on this Earth. 🇵🇸

THEY TRY TO CRUSH THE STUDENT MOVEMENT AND STILL WE RISE. TENTS RETURN TO NYU GAZA SOLIDARITY ENCAMPMENT AS COLUMBIA AND CCNY FACE BRUTAL NYPD VIOLENCE
On Friday, we conceded to the University by taking down our tents. But 4 nights on the ground later, the University has has elected to threaten students with suspensions and publish bold faced lies about it's own community members rather than make steps towards addressing our demands. NYU Administration has refused to negotiate in good faith and so far proven they are only capable of empty threats. We are not concerned by threats of suspensions when our tuition money is funding a genocide and occupation in Gaza. We are not scared of any cop mayor or cop administrator.
WE DISRUPT, WE DESTABILISE, WE RISE. FOR OUR SIBLINGS IN GAZA, FOR OUR SIBLINGS UPTOWN, UNITED FOR PALESTINE.
