Protests everywhere

All across the country, students are rising up to protest US support for the genocidal state of Israel. The response is growing!
Unfortunately, Columbia University is leading the way in authoritarian counter-reaction.
New York police arrested dozens of people on two campuses Tuesday night after officers cleared out a Columbia University building occupied by protesters.
At Columbia, New York police used a massive armored vehicle to push a bridge into a window of Hamilton Hall, the building demonstrators began occupying the previous night. Officers then streamed over the bridge — quickly retaking the building.
Yeah, to their shame, the Columbia administration called in a tank to put down their students.
In happier news, the protests have spread to Antarctica.
