Last week, Columbia University Public Safety trapped students inside Butler Library after they established the Basel Al-Araj Popular University. Students launched the university to “exert sustained pressure on university administrators to divest from the Zionist entity,” as CUAD explained in a statement.

On Tuesday night [April 15] we punctured tires on 8 NYPD cars and sprayed “PIG” all over them at the 88th precinct right under their stupid noses. When the pigs are too complacent then collectively we are doing something wrong.
The 88th precinct is known for it’s tyrannical rule over both local community and new migrant neighbors. It famously collaborated with ICE during the 2020 George Floyd uprising by using ICE to guard their precinct building besieged by massive protests.
Five years later and where are we now? Every day another human being murdered in custody, through neglect or savage beatings. Robert Brooks and Messiah Nantwi. Five people have died at Rikers just this year. Two died in nyc holding cells just in the past month before even being arraigned.
Every day another neighbor disappeared into some far off prison, never to be seen again (look up CECOT). Every day another student kidnapped by ICE. Every day another community invaded by fascists demanding papers and hunting Black and Brown people for sport.
Every day another family incinerated by USA-made bombs in Palestine and Yemen.
When will it stop? We must come to a point where we realize that NOTHING WILL STOP if we don’t MAKE IT STOP. No amount of appealing to politicians, to cops, to institutions like Columbia, will help us. Let go of that, and we free ourselves.
The Empire must fall. Strike where you are, at whatever institution you can that upholds this whole stinking pile of dogshit. Every strike against the NYPD is a strike for communities both here and all over the world. May the strength of revolutionaries who have lived and died for liberation be with you.

The NYPD is searching for the vandals who carved a swastika on a parked Tesla in Brooklyn.
It’s part of a growing number of attacks against Teslas amid CEO Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency and the slashing of thousands of federal jobs.
The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is now investigating the Cybertruck that was vandalized in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
Video released by the NYPD shows one suspect crouch down next to the Cybertruck and allegedly carve a swastika and the word “Nazi” onto the door while another suspect looked on.
It happened on Monroe Street early Thursday morning.
Another incident was reported Thursday, which happened on March 13.
A 38-year-old man found a sticker with a swastika and “Musk” written on it affixed to the driver’s side rear bumper of his Tesla sedan, parked at Hawthorne Street and Rogers Avenue in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn.
This follows another similar act of vandalism in the city. Police say two suspects painted a red swastika on a Cybertruck near the intersection of Rivington and Chrystie streets on the Lower East Side.
It happened on March 6 after 10 p.m. The Hate Crimes Task Force is also involved in that investigation.
In South Jersey, neighbors are on alert after they say a man aggressively pursued several Tesla owners over the weekend.
This was in the Cherry Hill neighborhood Saturday evening, when the driver of a red Acura SUV was spotted antagonizing Tesla drivers.
“He was driving on the wrong side of the road and driving very erratically,” a victim said. “The person driving the red SUV blocked us from pulling out of the driveway, rolled down his window, and said, ‘You know why, right?’ And flipped us the middle finger.”

Vandals targeted the home of Columbia University’s president, splashing the historic residence with red paint and scrawling the words “Free Them All,” as protests rage this week over ICE’s arrest of former protest ringleader Mahmoud Khalil, cops said.
The side of the building at 60 Morningside Drive appeared to have been pelted with red paint balloons — with the urgent message scrawled in black marker — when Columbia’s public safety officers spotted the damage around 12:50 a.m., police said.
Columbia’s current interim president, Katrina Armstrong, lives in the building, sources said.
Since NYC power brokers have decided that they would rather build jails to lock up New Yorkers than invest in our communities, we’ve decided to issue our own stop work order on the Brooklyn jail construction site.
We clogged the locks of construction site entrances with cement, smashed their card readers, and locked the gates at multiple locations operated by the jail’s concrete supplier, SRM.
The $3 billion Brooklyn jail is part of the city’s $16 billion borough-based jails plan. In addition to Brooklyn, new jails are being built in Manhattan, Queens, and The Bronx. The city is propagating the lie that in order to to close Rikers by 2027, it needs to open four new jails. Given that the city has already admitted that it can’t meet its legally mandated deadline, that the building plans for these new jails already anticipate overcrowding, and that the number of people arrested by the NYPD has doubled since 2020, we’re calling their bluff. More cages won’t close Rikers or make our communities safer. If they build it, we will burn it!
We act in solidarity with abolitionists inside and outside of prison walls, with those who riot against corrections officers and ICE, and with those trying to save their family members state-sanctioned premature death. Every struggle against racism, fascism, zionism, colonialism, xenophobia, and cisheteropatriarchy must also be a struggle against the carceral state.
To the city: decarcerate now, and build affordable housing instead. Do something that will actually benefit our communities.
To SRM Concrete: drop your contract for the borough-based jails now.
To our fellow New Yorkers: join us in action and make your voices heard. No new jails. No more deaths at the hands of the state.

“PUBLIC SAFETY PIGS OFF CAMPUS”
“FREE PALESTINE”
“BRING THE WAR HOME”
FROM BROOKLYN TO BEIRUT, FROM HARLEM TO GAZA –
LONG LIVE THE STUDENT INTIFADA!
Early on the morning of October 15th, we, people of conscience and revolutionary mind, targeted a car of the New York Pig Department-trained CUNY Public Occupiers on CUNY Brooklyn College’s campus. We condemn the CUNY administration, the Brooklyn College administration, and the kkkillers of the NYPD, for their complacency in the genocide of the people of the nation of Palestine and the destruction of Lebanon and Yemen, and for their oppression and destruction of the New York City community.
We demand the end of the BC Study in Occupied Palestine Program that sends ripe new settlers and hopeful IOF reservists to learn in Haifa, Al Naqab (“Negev”), Yaffa (“Tel Aviv”), and Al Quds (“East Jerusalem”) while the zionist entity has destroyed every last university in Gaza.
We demand cops OFF of Brooklyn College’s campus.
We demand that tuition be made FREE once again.
Racism is embedded into the history of BC. Before it was forcibly racially integrated, tuition was free. Campus was open to the public. Ever since they were forced to allow non-white people to attend, they charged thousands, built walls and gates, and positioned a pig at every entryway. Today, those same pigs are trained by the criminal zionist occupation forces in how to surveil, oppress, intimidate, maim, and kill the members of the communities they have infiltrated. Those same pigs let a zionist “lawmaker” of New York, Inna Vernikov, flaunt a pistol in her waistband at a student protest for Palestinian liberation at Brooklyn College and let her walk free. When she turned herself in willingly, the crimimal DA let her off without any charges.
This is the reality of the militarization and the violent enforcement of white supremacist hegemony in amerikkka — the violent hegemony that lynched Derrell Mickles, maimed and permanently disabled two others at Sutter Ave — which we aim to dismantle, brick by brick, pig car by pig car. We have answered NYC Rev Youth’s call to take action on the pigs of all NYC campuses between the dates of 10/14-10/22 and encourage everyone reading this to go out and do the same. We ALL have a duty to rout the standing pig military from our cities, our nation, and our campuses.
To the pigs, BC admin and CUNY admin: we will be back again and again until you take your grimy, genocidal talons out of the hearts of the people of the Middle East.
STOP COP NATION!
HANDS OFF THE MIDDLE EAST!
FREE PALESTINE!

The uptown Manhattan district office of New York Rep. Adriano Espaillat and the surrounding area was vandalized with anti-Israel graffiti on Thursday night.
According to security footage police viewed at the scene the following morning, the vandalism took place at around 11 p.m., on a night when pro-Palestinian protests took place around the city, on the eve of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to the United Nations General Assembly.
The graffiti covered a window that, for much of the past year, has displayed fliers with the faces of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. The office, which was closed Friday morning as police investigated, is regularly picketed by small groups of pro-Palestinian protesters.
By Friday morning, the graffiti had been partially scratched off, but the vandalism appeared to say, “F— Israel,” “40k dead,” “genocide lover” and “terrorist” in red paint on the window and door of Espaillat’s office in Washington Heights.
The graffiti also had an inverted red triangle, a symbol Hamas uses to mark its targets in propaganda videos that has become increasingly popular among pro-Palestinian protesters. Other graffiti on the same street and on a nearby subway entrance also featured the red triangle and read “F— Israel NYPD Cop City,” “Free Gaza” and “A terrorist in uniform is still a terrorist.”
Espaillat is a Democrat representing upper Manhattan and part of the Bronx. He has spoken out in support of Israeli hostages, security funding for Jewish institutions, and Jewish students at Columbia University in recent months. His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Other pro-Israel New York congressmen have had their offices hit with anti-Israel graffiti since Oct. 7, including Reps. Daniel Goldman and Ritchie Torres, both Democrats, and Republican Rep. Mike Lawler.
Anti-Israel protests reignited around the city this week, after a lull during the summer, when many students were home for summer vacation. A protest against Netanyahu marched from Bryant Park on Thursday, and demonstrators gathered outside a hotel on Park Avenue on Thursday night where they believed Netanyahu was staying. The protests come amid an escalation in fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.
The anti-Zionist Jewish Voice for Peace said actress Rowan Blanchard from the “Spy Kids” movie series had been arrested along with 24 other activists affiliated with the group.
The hardline pro-Palestinian activist group Within Our Lifetime released a map illustrated with dripping blood that urged followers to target the offices of Israel-focused groups including the Friends of the IDF, AIPAC, Birthright and the “Zionist consulate,” as well as Grand Central Station. The group published a similar map last year.
Anti-Israel protesters targeted New York Mayor Eric Adams at a Thursday rally after he was indicted for corruption. Columbia University students announced a Friday campus protest focused on Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

All card readers were reportedly smashed at the Halsey L. During the morning commute, workers were still trying to remove graffiti that read “FUCK THE FARE” while police were letting everyone through the gates for free.

Actionists have defaced the facade of the Historic Blue Moon Hotel, the family business of IOF soldier and war criminal Bram Settenbrino. Black paint was splattered on their doors and windows, as well as red triangles and the message “Baby Killer”. Settenbrino became known last month for publishing videos of himself firing indiscriminately at civilian infrastructure and a mosque in Gaza.
Actionists said, “This is a community-based approach to anti-imperialism. The genocide in Gaza may be happening across the ocean, but many of its perpetrators walk among us here in NYC. They should never have peace.
We take inspiration from the rich legacy of antifascism, of groups like Anti-Racist Action and the 43 Group–understanding that we have to act locally to make fascism obsolete globally. Where they go, we go.
Organize, research, map out the networks in which soldiers of imperialism pass freely between the frontline and the imperial core. Find them and give them hell.”

Protesters in black bloc marched in NYC [on September 10] to demand an end to genocide, colonialism, & police states. Protesters chanted the names of Aysenur Eygi & Tortuguita & redecorated corporate property with anti-colonial artwork. NYPD cops later made multiple brutal arrests. Below is a communique released by some of the protesters:
When we revolt it’s not for a particular culture. We revolt simply because, for many reasons, we can no longer breathe.’ – Franz Fanon
To Kamala Harris and Donald J. Trump, your goals aren’t new, or the way you achieve your goals. It was always domination by brutality, by dividing and isolating, by dehumanizing and villainizing. Just look at how you treat our Palestinian siblings, how you bring those same colonialist and imperialist methods here, and begin to slowly implement them to oppress poor working class communities and the marginalized groups that make up those communities. You murder with our tax dollars, brutalize and kill those who are fed up with their oppression, and proclaim you’re the truth and law of the world.
Aysenur Eygi did not deserve to die, while not the first, we know she won’t be the last. Even though her death was at the hands of the IOF, the rifle and bullet they fired were made and supplied under the orders of Biden And YOU.
Kamala, you say nothing will change under your administration, but that isn’t up to you. If nothing will change, then we will make that change.
Trump, you’re what you’ve always been, a snake pretending to be a wolf. Your mask fell years ago, and the record is clear, you’re a scam artist, a con-man, and a wannabe fascist dictator. We will let you know now, that your fascist movement will break against our shield walls, and crumple in our city’s streets.
Meanwhile, corrupt mayor Eric Adams and his allies cut community funding, line their pockets, and starve New Yorkers. We, this NYC black bloc, made up of revolutionary New Yorkers, will feed them.
In this city corporate greed reigns, and the interests of landlords, hedge funds, and the rich elites fuels every crisis. They’ve spent decades militarizing the NYPD, building cop cities, sending them abroad to train with the IOF, investing and donating mass surveillance tech, pushing budget cuts, and funding every other piece of their police state. All on the dime of poor working class New Yorkers, and all of it to keep your fellow New Yorkers brutalized, isolated, starved, and exploitable. Manipulating us to blame migrants, and to bring back the militarized ICE into our neighborhoods, all while turning our precious city into a personal playground for the rich and powerful, inevitably ending with the destruction of our communities, the dispossession of its people, and their displacement. Leaving cheap pockets of labor to exploit and cater to their every need.
But no more!! We call on all New Yorkers to join us in the streets, to take action like we have, and put an end to this police state, this corrupt administration, the corporate greed, and the suffering so many of us have endured by their hands. To Eric Adams, his admin, the NYPD, and their financial and political allies, the Feds are encircling, they smell the rats nest, and so do we. Even if they don’t stop you, the people are waking up, we’re rising, and we’ll be prepared to drive the final nail.
