I changed the link to be the updated CNN students protest page.

        Blatant, in our face misleadership. People got real uncomfy with calling a minstrel a minstrel; and thus did community coon out to the lanyard complex, to Black Capitalism, to feigned ‘excellence’. Death to Amerika, worse to everyone invested in propping it up.

      We don’t think you fight fire with fire best ; we think you fight fire with water best. We’re going to fight racism not with racism, but we’re going to fight with solidarity. We say we’re not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism, but we’re going to fight it with socialism.

    It’s on CNN and MSNBC.

    CNN - Still covering the protests.

    MSNBC - Lawrence O’Donnell moved on to Trump. Because of course he did. His base - the old folks who watch MSNBC as a religion - want the comforting embrace of Trump news. And I bet he does too.

          Pretty great resource though for checking in what they’re broadcasting, thanks for the links. CNN is absolutely PUMPING the propaganda. Cooper just asked panelists a rhetorical question if they “see an issue with many of the protestors concealing their faces from police with hoodies and such”

            see an issue with many of the protestors concealing their faces from police…

            !!!

            I missed “with hoodies and such”. I had to stop watching again exactly when got to “from police”. I’m old. I don’t want to give myself a rage heart attack. And now I have to make another effort not to fedpost.

              Well idk if he said “with hoodies and such” word for word. I think he said hoodies, masks, and something else. But yeah same here, I had to cut it off. When that other woman was, live on CNN itself, basically defending the police in how they sequestered media away from observing potential brutality because it could be a “flashpoint” and everyone just being totally cool with that…about lost my mind

    Find jt interesting they are sending in the pro isntrael crowds and all the sudden “protests turn violent” and need to arrest at the same time in isntrael acab-3 are turning against their own people calling out Bibi’s bullshit about the hostages and his corruption.

    Definitely just coincidences.

    All this is going to do is spread the protests beyond the colleges. Dems are shitting their pants that another Kent State or 1968 convention is going to happen. They know they can’t spin the Genocide Joe thing.

    Profile page of a journalist at Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/joshuajfriedman.com

    He’s posting updates every ~10 to ~15m.

    Edit/update

    A WKCR reporter says that there is an unconscious student protester on the ground in front of Hamilton Hall. […] WKCR also reports that NYPD is using tear gas.

    WKCR reporters say that everything they’re hearing from fellow students is that the people being arrested and filling NYPD buses are students, not outsiders

    -–

    A minor detail but weirdly touched at how the student reporters of WKCR keep apologizing whenever they interrupt each other, like this is such a chaotic scene and they’re so professional

    I think my favorite narrative I’ve been hearing regarding these protests, and you heard this a lot in 2020 too, is that all these protestors willing to engage in property violence and physically clash with the police are actually outside agitators. And in this case they’re outside agitators occupying a privately owned building, which the media is happy to compare to a private single family home. That’s right, protestors occupying a private university building is exactly the same as them occupying your home, you braindead TV consumer you.

    Sometimes the ‘outside agitator’ narrative has merit. I imagine we’ve all seen videos of obvious police plants trying to rile up people in order to get them arrested. Maybe some of you have witnessed such things in person. I vaguely remember reading that the guy who started the fire that burned down that Minneapolis Police station was actually a chud trying to make things worse. That sort of thing, I guess, really does happen. But it’s also such a convenient narrative. “Oh, it wasn’t concerned student activists and professors and ordinary people trying to stand against a genocide. It was wild-eyed barbarians, outsiders from outside, and thus all the police violence wielded against these people protesting a genocide was wholly justified.”

      That talking point was really funny in 2020. Mass protests happening in every major american city, where are the “outside” agitators coming from? Was it just a bunch of rural people coming to the cities to start shit?
