Every time a mercenary puts on an NYPD uniform, selling their capacity to inflict violence to the highest bidder, they are committing treason against humanity.

Thousands upon thousands of police are surrounding Columbia University and raiding the building occupation there now, determined to crush the movement in solidarity with those experiencing genocide in Gaza.
We salute the courage of those occupying the university. This struggle is far from over.
Background on the movement at Columbia:

In bringing in thousands of police with batons, shields, less-lethal grenades, and chemical weapons to brutalize student protesters, the administration of Columbia University shows that all of its rhetoric about “student safety” is mendacious.
“I’ve Never Seen This Many Police”: NYPD Launch Crackdown o
Like the other university administrations around the country that have done the same thing, they are simply pursuing profit and authoritarian control.
If we want people in Palestine, students in the United States, or anyone else to be safe, it’s up to us.

Defending the Camp
A Report from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Gaza Solidarity Encampment
read…https://crimethinc.com/UIUC
All around the United States and now in Canada, Australia, and several European cities, students have established encampments protesting the bloodshed taking place in Gaza.
Over the past few days, more than a thousand people have been arrested in police raids targeting these encampments. Yet despite the high-profile assaults on Columbia University and other occupations, many encampments have managed to stand their ground, even in the face of repeated police attacks.
In this report, participants in the Gaza solidarity protest encampment at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign recount their experiences learning to hold their ground.

For May Day, we present an excerpt of a text published today in Russian by the anarchist project akrateia.info.
We’ve translated it because it is a beautiful and inspiring expression of how the struggle for liberation and mutual aid has persisted across centuries against all odds.
“Mayday is an international distress signal in radio communications, similar to the SOS signal in telegraph communications.
This is an approximation of the French phrase ‘m’aidez,’ a shortened version of the phrase ‘venez m’aider'(meaning ‘come to my aid,’ ‘help me’).
On this day, we offer to come to each other’s aid (what Peter Kropotkin called ‘mutual aid’).
“We appeal to you: wherever you are—under fire, in a hospital, in prison, in a foreign country, trying to find a way to earn money, in your native country where you risk becoming a victim of torture by the authorities—we want to remind you that you are not alone.
We want to be with you in spirit, no matter how difficult it may be right now.
“Anarchism never died. Throughout the bloody history of the 20th century. it survived and developed. If you are reading these lines, that means you are also involved in our great cause.
How many times have anarchist periodicals addressed their readers on May 1? How many times have anarchists feared that anarchism might die and totalitarian countries and fascists would win?
“We will continue, as our predecessors did. We will not give up because we are coming to help each other.”

Lest we forget what this is all about.. this is how Israel celebrated mayday…
TODAY- Israeli massacre of children in Rafah *screenshots- restricted video
Translation — Barbaric slaughter by the Zionist army tonight against Palestinian children who were hiding from the bombs in the Shaboura refugee camp, in Rafah, south of Gaza.
The incommunicado media will not show you these images, not because they care about you and try to avoid hurting your sensitivity, but to hide and soften the Zionist genocide in Gaza.
If it were Russia or China that perpetrated this genocide, the “press” would not hesitate to show them to you…
