Those students aren't playing. They're really organized, too.

quote:

With the heavy police presence at the encampment earlier Thursday, Sully said organizers designated police liaisons who were communicating with law enforcement.

“We’ve been working with the lack of clarity from their messaging, and so I’m very proud of the work that those folks are doing,” Sully said.

In addition to police liaisons, Melles, the grad student, said organizers have other committees with specific responsibilities in order to ensure the encampment is a sustainable effort.

“We have people who are working on making sure that there is a constant supply of food, water [and] drinks. We have medical kits, we have nurses,” she said.

One committee, which Melles is a part of, is the marshals. Melles said their job is to make sure “people feel physically and emotionally safe.” This includes ensuring that the media is not talking to protesters who don’t want to talk to them, as well as interfacing with counterprotesters.

“We’re really a village here taking care of each other,” Melles said.

The U's president hastily rewrote the student code of conduct, like UT and other schools have. I wonder if the feds have coordinated with the universities like they did with municipalities during Occupy.

Up until 2023 this was true but leadership actually gets elected by the membership now, which in the like 1.5 years since the old guard got ousted has already dramatically changed the way the union functions and their ideological makeup.

There is no socialist or communist caucus like there was in the 30s - 52ish period. But conditions do allow for such caucuses to develop within the org. Very cool .

I live in downtown New Haven and took a walk through Yale to check on the encampment.

Beinecke plaza, which is where the 47 arrests happened last Monday, is completely deserted. There was a police vehicle parked at each corner, maybe a dozen officers total in view (forget if they were YPD or NHPD). Entrances blocked by yellow tape or barricades.

It looks like the encampment has settled in front of the main library a block away. At the time it seemed to be in a lull. There were enough tents for hundreds of people, but most were collapsed and there were just a couple dozen students hanging out, likely there to ensure things aren't torn down. I did not see any clear sign of a police presence, but there were a couple obvious plainclothes/undercover police monitoring things from the library steps.

This was in contrast to a raging house party I passed by two blocks to the south. Students were falling out the windows (at 11am). Not a single LEO in sight.

I plan on visiting again in the afternoon, hopefully things aren't so depressing then.

"Cóż, wygląda na to, że zostaliśmy łaskawie oszczędzeni trudu decydowania o własnym losie. Jakże uprzejme z ich strony, że przearanżowali Europę bez kłopotu naszego zdania!"

This will be a test for the movement. When the universities offer minor concessions, will the protesters think "job well done, let's stop now" or keep going?

Because these protests should not and must not end until Israel's genocide ends.

“We were only able to do this because the student organisers went into the archives of ‘68 and learned from what the older generation wrote about their experiences. A lot of organisers spent time and looked at how they did everything,” Majd, a Columbia undergrad who asked for their full name not to be published, told The Independent at the protest camp on Friday.

“We completely built this on their legacy,” Majd added.

I attended a talk by a Peruvian shaman some years ago. I can't find my notes on it, but he spoke of a concept that could be called "catching up," and it refers to the adult midlife period: when you hit your mid thirties, you must slow down and come to a stop, look at what the next generation is doing, and then you run to catch up with them and support them.

Anyway I'll follow these kids wherever they are going.

Maybe I’m a dumb idiot, but will it even be legally possible for universities to divest from Israel even if they wanted to? What would it take to repeal these laws?

So the way that I understand it, anto BDS laws primarily target government contractors and public investment funds, so doesn’t seem like a university (esp a private one) would be impacted?

Anti-BDS is also a separate thing from Anti-Boycott laws, which prohibit US entities from doing business with overseas parties that demand them to boycott Israel. So for example if a US company wanted to sell some fleshlights or whatever to a Saudi company, but the Saudi company wanted them to sign a form attest that the fleshlights were not manufactured in Israel, it would be illegal for the US company to sign that form. But it doesn’t really regulate what organizations do within the US. So as a US party I’m free to sell fleshlights to someone within the US who asks me to sign the same form as the Saudi company.

It’s all really weird and stupid
