State repression is random. People often forget that 2 of the 4 students killed in the Kent State massacre weren't even protesters. Sandy Scheurer was simply walking to class & Bill Schroeder (an ROTC cadet) stopped to watch the protest out of curiosity. Both were shot to death.

DeKalb, Georgia court records show Fohlin, the Emory professor seen on video being thrown to the ground and handcuffed by an Emory police officer for expressing concern at the violent arrest of a protester, was jailed for 11 hours and charged with 'Battery Against Police Officer'

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor Caroline Fohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, 'What are you doing?' That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

WATCH: Among those arrested today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University.

I’ve asked for a comment from Emory on this arrest, no word yet.

This video provided to us by an #Emory PHD student. You can hear him in this video. Atlanta News First

after setting up a peaceful encampment this morning, students are being violently arrested at Emory University. they are being held down and tased. tear-gassed. shot at with rubber bullets.

Sneak peek from @attackerman.bsky.social: the tech industry is angling for Pentagon riches.

A new paper from The Costs of War Project finds at least $53 billion in Pentagon contracts from 2018-2022 for tech firms, as well as $28 billion from intelligence agencies.

Reminder: For the last four months the people in northern Gaza have on average only had 245 calories a day due to Israel’s starvation tactics, which are still ongoing.

Image 1 shows what 245 calories look like, and Image 2 shows what that does to a child.

All eyes on Gaza.

The average taxpayer spent over $2,900 on the Pentagon in 2023... and most of that money went to military contractors.

Absolutely -- I was stunned how low the fines were when Utah's OSHA determined that Northrop Grumman's 'willful, serious' violations led to the deaths of Jonathan Steinke and Ken Tran in a hypersonic missile plant: inkstickmedia.com/dying-to-make-…

I'm in Gaza with my charity INARA. As we were leaving one cluster of tents a woman came up and said “My son keeps screaming and shaking uncontrollably. It started when he saw his sister’s head blown off”.
