I'll let you guess who got paid a lot of money to train these guys in blue so they could turn around & beat up American kids protesting a genocide.
#NYPD moving onto the Brooklyn College campus where students are refusing to surrender until their 'divestment from Israel' demands are met.
#Boise #Idaho resisters protested hard and won!
The state government has banned the #Pride flag, but in response to public pressure the City Council of Boise has made it an official city flag. This means the Pride flag can continue to fly at Boise City Hall.
This victory was brought to us by hard working red state resisters who would not be intimidated by Christofascist counter protesters. Hate only wins if we let it!
I'm seeing some of the latter things happening in protest organizing discussions, and I do not like it.
Nothing to see here, just Boston comedian Robby Roadsteamer howling a butchered version of "My Heart Will Go On" at a #Trump boat parade.
Punk out against fascism.

#Student #protesters, including many #Jewish organizers, counter that #Trump & *conservative* politicians who are strongly pro-#Israel are unfairly conflating pro-#Palestinian #protests & #antisemitism. [yup]
#Columbia's board of trustees has been *negotiating* w/the Trump admin, which announced in March that it had canceled hundreds of millions in #grants to the #university for #scientific #research.
Videos & photos on social media showed #protesters, most wearing masks [given the givens, wouldn’t you?], standing on tables, beating drums & unfurling banners saying "Strike For Gaza" & "Liberated Zone" beneath the chandeliers of the Lawrence A. Wein Reading Room.
#Trump had lashed out at #Columbia over pro-#Palestinian #protests on campus last year, saying they were *#antisemitic* & showed a failure to protect Jewish students.
Stand up. Resist. Protest today and every day in every city in US. use your voice, or others will use your silence. #protest #protests #50501 #50501protest #50501movement #handsoff #protestmusic #protestanthem #protestsong #fdt #impeachtrump #foxtrotdeltatango #dumptrump #antitrump #oligarchy #oligarch
God do I feel this sign. Every day.

SERBIA
Student Protesters Demand Snap Elections
Anti-corruption student movement says snap vote is only solution to Serbia's deep political crisis. Triggered by Nov 1 train station collapse in Novi Sad that killed 16; gov’t blamed for corruption & safety failures.
1/2 You know, I'm doing this self-experiment to compare #Mastodon and #Bluesky for professional purposes. https://steadyhq.com/en/naturematchcuts/posts/abd7e63f-920d-4b26-9b90-6b0104cc62af
Well, I have a new result: On Bsky, you get a lot of #followers really quickly. About 9.5 out of 10 are sex bots. I'm stupid enough to block them.
And: mostly broadcasting, communication is yet rare (well, I don't talk to sex bots).
Only good point for Bsky until now: It's better for #activism, for the organisation as well as for real time insights in #protests.
Donald #Trump is eager to fill out his autocratic profile with a display of #military might in the form of a military #parade. Anti-Trump activists are planning mass #protests across the #UnitedStates. Ezra #Levin, co-executive director of Indivisible, talks with Rachel #Maddow about the effects protests are having on the Trump administration and the importance of local #activism.
