NEW YORK (AP) — Before police officers poured into Columbia University on Tuesday night, arresting more than 100 people as they cleared an occupied school building and tent encampment, New York City Mayor Eric Adams received a piece of intelligence he said shifted his thinking about the campus demonstrations over the war in Gaza. “Outside agitators” working to “radicalize our children" were leading students into more extreme tactics, the mayor claimed.

Apr 4, 2024 | medium.com | Laila Al-Arian

By AnonymousA United States with the same population density as Gaza is 20,445 square miles. That’s about ⅘ the size of West Virginia.

The United States is being actively bombed and made deliberately uninhabitable by an invading military immeasurably more powerful than its own. In 180 days, 4,785,000 Americans have been killed (26,583 per day on average), including more than 1,885,000 children.
