   “Why are they beating up the Kumbaya crowd?” Is a question I was asked this week and still do not have an answer for.

     Sunday they’re slated to show up in Toronto to the U of t encampment so about 3,000 community members are showing up to stop them.

     Aral Balkan repeated this.

     @LALegault The universities are the ones calling the cops. Just like in the 1960's and 70's. Same police violence. And the police always side with the thugs that show up to start shit. We saw that in NYC. We saw it at UCLA. We saw it at USC. We indirectly saw it at Ole Miss and at UNM.

     And here in the states in 2020,they attacked peaceful BLM protests.

     Hopefully at U of T the community joins in to fight back.

     This is emboldening them now, everywhere.

     @LALegault There were a couple of them trying to fuck with the protesters blocking the main entrance to Kirtland AFB at Louisiana & Gibson yesterday. They didn't stay too long. (Though given APD's long,dubious reputation for attacking people and peaceful protesters,they would have eagerly protected and whisked away the right-wing folks.)

     @LALegault Because they knew they wouldn't be arrested. Because they were enabled by law enforcement and Fox News. And Trump.
