Contemporary liberal politics is not about winning but rather fantasizing that leftists get marched off to the camps before you do.

I have an MFA in fiction and this is the fakest shit I have ever heard

In a country where children go hungry, people die unhoused and libraries are only open part time, this is where our resources go

Five socialist elected officials across Greater Boston are issuing this joint statement condemning the repression of student protestors & standing in solidarity with student encampments for a free Palestine.

This is extremely not it. Embarrassing analysis

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.

Police gave no warning on the Transportation Bldg side before they attacked here. By then they had also blocked the Boylston side and both other exits, allowing no escape even for compliant witnesses like me. As a journalist, an Emerson alum, and Boston resident, I’m appalled.

Wu has long been a shameless cop supporter, even back when BPD was busting queer people's heads at straight pride. She is not the progressive hero you're looking for.

Unlocking briefly to say, as an Emerson alumna: shame on Emerson College, Shame on Mayor Michelle Wu 吳弭 and her camping ban. Protect students, free Palestine, shut it down.

I hope to see EmersonStaffUnion coming out strong today in support of their students who were arrested and brutalized peacefully protesting genocide and the destruction of every university in Gaza

What’s noteworthy here is how the BPD attribute the mass arrests to the “camping ban” that the Wu administration introduced last year and the city council voted for. It was a bad policy when wielded against unhoused people and it’s now being wielded against student demonstrators.

DPS troopers played on their phones while children were slaughtered at Uvalde, but they're ready to go crack the skulls of some UT Austin freshmen

This is why I love Somerville tbh. schlub city

happy lenin’s birthday, everyone! 💫

It increasingly feels like there is a contingent of pro-Israel journos & activists seeking to cynically stoke fears about Jewish safety in order to make inevitable & normalize eventual police/national guard violence against peaceful campus protesters for Palestinian rights.

This is art, actually

P sure other Clare and I joined the same year, like a set of Voltron arms

Let's go SeaWolves!!!

The crosswalk by itself is a crime against humanity
