TW/CW: Police violence

More footage of the violence by plain clothed police cops in Binnengasthuis 1 (BG1). A lot of questions should be answered by the responsible authorities:

1. Was this on behalf of mayor Halsema? Did she agree? Does she still agree after seeing the footage?
2. How did the cops arrived there so quickly? If I understand correctly BG1 was not occupied that long after the evicted Maagdenhuis occupation. Or were those cops already in or near BG1?
3. If not already in the building. Who let them in? Did the UvA let them in?
4. Why didn't those plain clothed cops identify themselves as being police officers? Or at least more clearly.
5. Why did they wear plain clothes? And are they legally allowed to do this?

Immigration officials terminate some UNM international student records - The Daily LoboImmigration officials terminate some UNM international student recordsThe federal government terminated the records of several University of New Mexico international students amid reports of the revocation of hundreds of student visas across the country. The Student & Exchange Visitor Information System is a federal tracking system for nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors in the United States, according to the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration. A “handful” of UNM students had their SEVIS records terminated recently, according to UNM Chief Marketing and Communications Officer Cinnamon Blair. The termination of a SEVIS record does not necessarily mean a student’s visa was revoked, but there is often overlap between the two actions.

Angry sweet antiracist enby

Gisteren publiceerde @TheRightsForum een open brief van prof. dr. Yolande Jansen over politiegeweld tijdens universitaire bezettingen voor Palestina. Na een lange beschrijving van het koloniale geweld van de politie dat zij ook als zodanig herkent, riep zij op "Do the right Thing. No police but social justice."

En ondertussen sloeg de koloniale politie weer keihard toe bij de ontruiming van BG 1 en was de propagandamachine die studenten van activisten onderscheidt en die schreeuw over vreselijk dure vernielingen, al weer in gang gezet.

Als het om Palestina of om social justice gaat, trekt men alles uit de kast.

TW/CW: Police violence

And again the oh so tolerant 🙄 City of #Amsterdam roars its ugly head! #Students that occupied #Binnengasthuis 1 (part of Amsterdam University) are beaten up by plain-clothed police. They don't even care to cover their faces anymore. They look (and behave) like a gang. Mayor #Halsema's own personal gang.

✏️ edit: It was another location, occupied after the #Maagdenhuis was evicted.

I support the #SerbianProtest ✋🟥! Your movement is reigniting international #social #libertarian energy. In an era of polycrisis, where our #Generation sees few positive prospects for the future, you are leading the way.

#Europe #EuropeanUnion #EuropeanCommission should stand with Serbian citizens, if we are still true to our values.

The next Renaissance won't be Italian; it will be born in #serbia ! 🇷🇸

re-Engage | A Horizon Europe project · How Serbian students are redefining protest and participationA tragic accident in Novi Sad, caused by corruption and negligence, has sparked widespread student-led protests in Serbia, exposing deep public dissatisfaction with government mismanagement.

Anyone who is blind, or who has worked with the blind, knows how expensive our technology can be. This couldn't be more true with relation to braille displays. Even the cheapest costs at least $799, and it's already behind the newest in that line, at $899. This is the Orbit Reader 20 and 20+. Now, a student in India wants to change that by creating a display that is truly affordable (under $50)! Please pass this on, so that we can give him greater recognition within the blind community. Even if it costs a bit more than he initially suspected it would, there is no excuse for the $2,000 to $5,000 average price of such technology when cheaper alternatives can be designed! He is determined to bring this to market, so let's help him do it and show our appreciation for his hard work on this life-changing project!
