The bill that will harm, disable, and kill millions has passed. People have been asking me, “What do we do?” This is where organizing brings me constantly forward. Oppression has an expiration date, liberation does not.

It is not lost on Americans that the orchestrated federal war on California comes after a humiliating week for The Orange King and his desire to bend the will of blue states and their leaders. They are picking a fight and declaring war on all of us.

Having recently experienced martial law in Korea, what happened yesterday in LA, and is ongoing nationally, does not look very different.
Wikipedia says, “Martial law is the replacement of civilian government by military rule and the suspension of civilian legal processes for military powers.”

In a first for the Ivy League school, Columbia's new officers have the same powers of warrantless search and arrest as any other police officer under New York law. The state law permits the officers to use "physical force and deadly physical force in making an arrest or preventing an escape."
Columbia University's new campus patrol officers appointed by New York Police Department
The 36 new special patrol officers announced last month by Columbia University were appointed by the New York Police Department and will be subject to the orders of the police commissioner, an arrangement confirmed by a Columbia spokesperson this week.

A few favorites from today's #HandsOff in NYC. I'm terrible at estimating crowds but we filled Fifth Avenue from 42nd Street to 27th Street and then some.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”
I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
