“Met Police bans JEWISH anti-genocide protesters from vast area of London”

“After weeks of police violence and trying to drum up opposition from residents, Met turns huge area of N London into no-go area for Jewish humanitarians”
@bascule #Protester's lifeline according Jennifer Shin: "If you're protesting on #Saturday please wear a cap and mask to protect your identity from the #cult.
Also, it was suggested to me that you should write the phone number of the #ACLU #FirstDefenseLegalAid on your arm. That number is 1-800-529-7374 in case anything happens."
+ Also you could/should additionally write a number of a loved one at home or a lawyer you trust on your arm (waterproof ink).
#Jewish #ColumbiaUniversityStudents Chain Themselves to #ColumbiaUniversity Fence to Protest #Khalil Detention
"As Jewish students, we grew up learning about the rise of #fascism, learning about how important it is to stand up when you see #injustice in the world," said one #protester.
by Julia Conley, Apr 02, 2025
"'We are here in protest of that to demand that the university tell us which trustees, which members of the university administration, are responsible for this so we can demand immediate consequences for them and hold them accountable for what they've done to our peer,' said the undergraduate student.
"Shea added that Jewish students were leading the protest because 'the attacks on our international students, on students of color, have been so fierce, so dangerous, so disproportionate that we are the only students who can be here right now taking this risk.'"

Ihre Papiere, bitte. #Trump Wants Immigrants on U.S. Soil to Hand Over #SocialMedia Accounts to Apply for #Citizenship
Trump is demanding social media handles for #citizenship, #GreenCard, and #visa applicants whether they're already in the U.S. or not.
by Matt Sledge, March 23 2025,
"President Donald Trump’s administration wants to force people in the U.S. applying for green cards or citizenship to fork over their social media handles, in a move with far-reaching implications as the government cracks down on #ProPalestine activists.
"U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, or #USCIS, which oversees naturalization and immigration, earlier this month proposed requesting social media names from people in the U.S. who apply for asylum, permanent residency, or naturalization, expanding a policy that used to only target people living abroad applying for visas.
"The proposal references Trump’s day-one executive order laying the groundwork for a new #MuslimTravelBan, which also asked federal agencies to identify #immigrants in the U.S. who hold '#HostileAttitudes” toward the government.
"'This policy would disparately impact #Muslim and #Arab applicants seeking #USCitizenship.”
"The shift would affect an estimated 3.5 million people per year — some of whom have lived in the U.S. for decades.
In light of #ColumbiaUniversity #protester #MahmoudKhalil’s ongoing detention, one official from a Muslim civil rights group said the new policy poses special danger for critics of #Israel and the Trump administration.
"'This policy would disparately impact Muslim and Arab applicants seeking U.S. citizenship that have voiced support for #Palestinian #HumanRights,' said Robert McCaw, director of government affairs at the Council on American-Islamic Relations. 'Collecting the social media identifiers of any potential green card applicants or citizens is the means to silencing their #LawfulSpeech.'"

If we raise $1,147 a day every day through the end of 2024, we can reach our $50k goal!
@nullagent was attacked by a group of civilians at a protest 2 months ago, and has suffered from a concussion + depression as a result.
He'd love to sue the pants off those racist motherfuckers and push the "justice" system for criminal charges as well.

THANK YOU to the 100+ supporters who have contributed nearly $5k to @nullagent's legal fund.
We'd love to make a big push this week to raise the add'l $15-20k needed for lawyer retainer + hiring a PI. Our resources are stretched thin + your support goes a LONG way toward seeking justice!
