columbia administration is threatening to call in the national guard tonight

And don't think your situation is going to be "so sad that it'll pull on their heartstrings" and make some insurance company do the right thing.

Unfortunately they've heard it all before. They're desensitized and it's just going to sound like whining. Maybe, just maybe, people in the US shouldn't NEED to rely on their heartstrings to get medical care.

“It Is an Honor to Be Suspended for Palestine”

Dispatches from the Solidarity Encampment at Columbia University

https://crimethinc.com/Columbia2024

In this in-depth report, participants offer a blow-by-blow account of the events at Columbia, appraising the tactics that the demonstrators have employed and the challenges that they face.

since the white house put out a ridiculous statement condemning the protests i want to reiterate again that many of the students involved are jewish, there has always been a large jewish presence at these protests in nyc and in campus organizing for palestine

CONTEXT: the gaza freedom flotilla coalition aims to bring emergency aid (food, medical supplies, etc) to a starving and besieged gaza. activists and journalists from all over the world (including diaspora palestinians like dylan) will be participating, and they know the risk — in 2010 turkish activists attempting a similar mission had their flagship raided by israeli forces, who murdered 10 activists aboard (9 died on site and another died later from critical injuries).

i’d like to note additionally that i believe this kind of pressure on representatives is especially important considering the 2010 raid was defended by biden. (definitely recommend reading this article — from 2010, mind you — which has him spouting the same bullshit he’s regurgitating to this day.)
