Among other steps, #Columbia said it would have 36 campus safety officers w/ #arrest powers, a shift w/enormous resonance at a university that has a long history of campus #activism & fraught ties w/law enforcement.Columbia also said it would adopt a formal definition of #antisemitism, review its #admissions policies &, in a turn that was especially alarming to professors who cherish #academic #freedom, impose new #oversight of the university’s #MiddleEastern, #SouthAsian & #AfricanStudies Dept.

Pinksterlanddagen 2025

Anarchistisch kampeerterrein Appelscha, Friday, June 6 at 05:00 PM GMT+2

(English below)

De pinksterlanddagen is een bijeenkomst van anarchisten die al meer dan een eeuw jaarlijks plaatsvindt in Appelscha. Met workshops, discussies, en skillshares over thema’s als antiracisme, antifascisme, queer-, woon- en feministische strijd, omgaan met repressie, en aanverwanten. Maar zeker ook met films, muziek, en alle ruimte om gezellig te doen!

Eerlijk is eerlijk: het heeft er even om gehangen, of we met pinksteren een bijeenkomst zouden hebben. Te weinig mensen, te laat, weinig puf. Maar een verse ploeg organisatoren is opgestaan, en gaat er in tien weken tijd hopelijk een werkend festival uit stampen!
Die tijdsdruk betekent dat we niet moeten doen alsof we alles volledig voor elkaar krijgen. Dus toen we een thema-brainstorm deden kwamen we al gauw op de uitroep die elke kleuter en anarchist verbindt: ZELLUF DOEN!

Wij als organisatiegroep gaan veel zelluf doen, maar we hopen dat alle PL’ers veel zelluf gaan doen. Heb je een interresant onderwerp voor een discussie of workshop? Zelluf doen! Speel je in een bandje? Zelluf doen! Vind je dat er wegwijzers tussen de bushalte en het terrein moeten? Zelluf doen, zelluf doen, zelluf doen! In al die gevallen: mail even naar pl@puscii.nl, want eigenlijk is het veel anarchistischer om samen te doen.

Lang verhaal kort: We zien elkaar op 6-8 juni op kampeerterrein “tot Vrijheidsbezinning” in Appelscha!

De Pinksterlanddagen is a yearly gathering, during pentacost, for anarchists and everyone inspired by anarchism in their life and activism. The weekend is full of workshops and talks, and we camp in the lovely Appelscha. There is also a rich cultural and children’s program.

This year the theme is ZELLUF DOEN, toddler-dutch for DIY. Do you want to DIY? A workshop, skillshare, help building or clearing up the festival? Mail to PL@puscii.nl.

"We are in urgent, dire times that require us as human beings coming together and fighting against fascism, fighting against genocide, and the only way to do that is by opening up the heart and realizing that collective liberation is the only solution," Macklemore says.

Hoping to make an online library of protests flyers and signs to make it easier for people to print them out and take to the streets.

Can be a more classic protest sign, a printable meme or #antifascist art.

Whatever you think might catch a normie's eye and nudge them awake. The people still on Big Social aren't seeing the things they need to. We have to move this IRL & it doesn't have to bee just mass demonstrations or nothing.

You can email me any files to address in previous post ☝️ or reply to this thread with #AntifaAF

Get creative with it! Check out this badass play on #Magritte

You all make us proud. Every time we share information, you’re right there helping us amplify it and push back. Huge thanks to those who stepped up—especially the lawyers. Word spread, and Musk’s team was made aware that Wisconsin law prohibits payments for voter turnout.

Washington Post reported on March 22, billionaire Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” has cost the government $500 billion”

washingtonpost.com/business/20 billion in lost tax revenue. This doesn’t even factor in the money wasted in lawsuits that the president is losing over illegal firings, or the lost labor of all those fired employees who are getting rehired with back pay.
