ONE HOUR AGO: our comrades at portland state university erected barricades around their gaza solidarity encampment after multiple face offs with the police! a couple of tweets down in this thread alissa mentions students talked about cal poly humboldt and how our comrades there inspired them. yesterday it was announced that psu would pause connections to boeing after months of students and faculty demanding the school sever ties with the company for its contributions to the genocide in palestine. our comrades are still protesting demanding complete divestment from this genocide.

Portland State University’s Pro Palestine protest encampment in the library has been declared unlawful and is in imminent danger of police action. Use this script to email Ann Cudd and PSU administration to let them know you do not support the police presence on campus.

some song lyrics about the palestine protests.
an old hard country song
is just the thing im needing.
i want you to move your bow
real hard and real slow
til you hear those strings aweeping;
i want you to hit those strings so hard
you coulda sworn you saw them bleeding,
because a hard old song of freedom
is just the thing im needing.
give me an old hard protest song.
i want you to shout your song
real loud and real long,
until your throat is croaking.
i want you out in pissing rain,
shouting til your bones are soaking.
i want you to holler loud and long for grace
while god spits right in
your goddamn face,
because i need the angry songs of
souls long since done and broken.
give me a good old fashioned protest song.
i want to see you here
on these genocidal streets,
to hear you tell those fucking cops
that til we get the justice we deserve,
they won't get a single ounce of peace.
i want you to bang a drum
with deep rage that will never cease.
because a song of POWER
is just the thing im needing.
because a fistful of four-letter words
are the only fucking words worth reading.
because a new type of country song
is just the thing i'm needing.
give me a strong new justice song.

Anyone claiming these were "peaceful" protests is a pathological liar.
The spin and cope will be starting, if they haven't already. We'll hear that "it wasn't the true pro-Palestine protestors; some far-right people got in there and did this." That's what they said during the BLM riots in 2020. Again, they're lying.

Solidarity with the Portland State University student protests
For months, we at PSU have been calling for our school to cut ties with Boeing, Intel, and other companies that support genocidal Israel. We, the students, do not want to receive blood money from a glorified weapons dealer. We do not want internship partnerships with them. We want the school to replace those working relationships with companies that match our values. We want them, as an institution, to call for a ceasefire and publicly stand in solidarity with Palestine. PSU has extensive anti-racist & diversity policy - we really just want them to put their money where their mouth is. It's frankly not a huge ask. Yet the Board of Trustees & Pres. Ann Cudd were silent on the matter... Until the encampments on the park blocks late last week.
Here's the thing. I've been to a peaceful free Palestine march in Portland that must have had hundreds of attendees. Nobody reported on it, nobody in government responded to it. I joined students to peacefully disrupt a finance meeting at PSU to voice concerns about Boeing & Intel. No reporting from the media, no response from PSU. They moved the meeting to Zoom before half of us even arrived for "safety reasons" - bear in mind, this was in response to a couple of students merely speaking during the first portion of the meeting to list their concerns. They did not address our concerns at all, they simply found a way to ignore us.
It's only after the encampments, only after the occupation of the library, the vandalism and trespassing, that the media is reporting, and that Pres. Ann Cudd is pausing relations with Boeing and addressing concerns (even if her responses are sub par and her promises are empty). The powers that be love to tout peaceful protest because they can easily ignore peaceful protest. And let me be clear: the occupations and encampments are not violent. They are breaking the law but that does not immediately mean they are making an unsafe environment - quite the contrary, they were taking care of each other, and making the library welcome to students who needed it for study, etc. A broken window and some graffiti - that's why the police have shown up in riot gear? Yeah, right. This isn't about safety. This is about control, it's about violently forcing the students into complacency.
I am proud of PSU's student activists and the occupants of the library. I support them and stand in solidarity with them. I admire them, and hope that I may one day be able to develop in myself the bravery they have displayed this week.
Much love. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

I defy anyone to explain to me how spray painting slogans on the walls and the books of the library and breaking glass and making this facility unusable and unsafe did anything whatsoever, a single damned thing for a single Palestinian life.
What you do has to actually match the things you claim to want. Otherwise it’s just wasted time, wasted energy, wasted resources AND LIES.
The lying has got to stop.

Hadn't seen anything here yet, but Students United for Palestinian Equal Rights at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon, is staging a die-in to urge PSU to divest from Boeing on February 21st!

As protests start ramping up and violence escalates please remember:
DO NOT PUT MILK IN YOUR EYES FOR PEPPER SPRAY OR TEAR GAS.
It can and will cause infection due to bacteria. Flush with water, distilled if possible, and never EVER wear contact lenses to protests where there may be police retaliation.
Please reblog. It may save someone's sight.

Portland State University Library Occupation: 4/29/2024 - 5/2/2024
As of today (5/7/2024), the Library is still closed. Link: Portland State University Library Closure FAQ.
From what I've gathered from news articles, here's a timeline. As I learn more, incorrect details on this timeline will be struck out and new ones will be added.
4/25/2024 - 4/28/2024: Pro-Palestinian protestors are pushed out of a protest in the South Park Blocks area of Portland and onto a portico in Millar Library at Portland State University, with the university president's permission.
Also 4/25/2024 - 4/28/2024: Under pressure, Portland State University President Ann Cudd agrees that PSU should "reexamine its philanthropic relationship" with Boeing, a corporation with ties to the Israeli Air Force
4/29/2024: After a peaceful nearby rally in support of Palestine and an an end to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, protestors entered university's library and began to occupy it. Barricades are built and graffiti is made on the library's walls.
4/30/2024: PSU campus closed; exactly when is not clear.
5/1/2024: University President Cudd continues demands for protestors to leave the library, and also threatens a police response to remove protestors.
5/2/2024: PSU reports that negotiations between the President's office and protestors have "failed" and promises that students who leave the occupied library by 1:30am on Thursday, May 3 will not be suspended or expelled. Representatives of protestors respond that the President and her office were not negotiating in good faith, demanding the names and ID numbers of the student protestors.
5/3/2024: At 6:00am, police begin clearing the University library of protestors; they are finished by about 10:00am.
5/3/2024 - : Damage assessment and repair of Library and library materials is underway.
