Will talks to Anny Viloria Winnett, a UAW 4811 ASE Trustee, Graduate Student Worker at the UCLA School of Public Health, and an organizer involved with UCLA’s pro-Palestinian encampments. They discuss last week’s violent assaults on the UCLA encampments, first from a group of Zionist vigilantes and subsequently by the LAPD. They then discuss the university’s response, keeping the movement resilient and safe in the face of such opposition, and some answers for all the media who want to know “why are you here?”

I don’t know how much more absurdity I can take. MJT trying to finger veto an “anti-semitism” bill cause it might outlaw those parts of the Bible asserting the Jews murdered Jesus; Trump kind’ve admitting to Cohen over phone he doesn’t really understand how shell companies work, despite using them for years; a building super at Columbia Univ. running through the corridors of Hamilton Hall like Uncle Ruckus, trying to start fights with the protestors “holding him hostage” while they try to calm him the fuck down before unlocking the door for him after, like, 30 minutes, only for him to go to media right afterward and talk he’d just survived the Iran embassy siege.
We need to vote some normalcy back into this country. The worm that devoured RFK’s brain sure as heck wouldn’t stand for all this weird bullshit. Come November I trust you’ll all know what to do.

@@garcalej "Normalcy"? Really? Things are worse now in a lot of ways but the pre-Trump normal already sucked. Trump and his ilk didn't come from nowhere. The neoliberal status quo ante that lasted til the end of the Obama years contained the exact conditions that were going to inevitably eventually give rise to the sort of absurdity you rightly decry.
And all they had to do was allow a peaceful protest.
Love the interviews with activists. Love the coverage of the protests countering the false narrative by the genocidal American empire. Fuck the trolls.
Brave, brave, brave students!
I walked in, I said "wow, such brave students"
Folks, we love our brave students, don't we?
These kids are goddamn heroes.
A much better spokesman for the campus protesters, union experience and class position makes a world of a difference. I wish she could talk even more about the economic links the university has with Tel-Aviv, the DoD and the pressure the administration feels from donors which seems the reason for the violent repression. Also, I'd like to hear from the uncommitted campaign, an effort much more likely to bear results.

You students are awesome, putting your money where your mouth is. End Colonialism. Free Palestine!
Another banger. Great great great.
Brilliant interview thank you
Thank you for this, very moving
thanks
Thank you Will!
They probably saw what happens when settlements are declared unlawful. Washington has to give these kids weapons now.
Encampment has a right to defend itself.
Man she can really hammer those buzzwords
Its very sexist that he keeps calling her "honey".
Her voice resembles Ilhan Omar's
🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩
ok, but where's Amber to tell these protestors that a bunch of organized passionate young people getting radicalized is just a huge cringe waste of time, actually
Nowhere, because the lady you're attacking is actually a man made of straw
Just admit you work for Mossad and be done with it!
Thank you for bringing that up, what the hell is that all about? I actually really like Amber, she is one of the most reasonable members of the crew when it comes to nailing down real life steps that someone can practice instead of just raving and making jokes, but her entire anti-college thing makes zero sense and legitimately damages the rest of her entire political platform. She seriously would rather we entirely get rid of the university system and stem the growth of higher education in general....because frat boys suck and rich kids get in free? What a wildly privileged, violently asinine opinion, and this entire interview proves why Amber needs to actually back to school. Love her, but she is the epitome of the reactionary hipster.
A union leader and phd who was not on the front line and was not arrested or suffered what a shock! Why one would almost think that the working classes has been betrayed by left who have become a bunch of intellectual elites who use their politics to create careers within the very systems that oppress the working classes. Remember her strong words comrades but your body on the lines while leaders can conveniently miss the most violent direct attacks be cause they have to have meetings and plan rally’s outside the area where they know the police are going to attack. Gosh I just don’t understand why the majority of poor people are not rising up when they have the most to lose and will be attached the most violently.
You always need someone to film and do propaganda later and it's better to protect women from getting arrested and beaten if possible.
I also don't like when we just show up were we are expected to be just to be arrested however.
🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩
If leftists are so woke why dont they allow women to be beat? checkmate communists
what you really really want is leadership on the front lines getting arrested and not being around to organize and secure the future of the protests regardless of arrests. arrests which are a shock tactic to break protests by causing short term problems.
she literally told a story of being at the rally after being physically attacked by zionists who threw her on the ground by her keffiyeh wtf do you want, everyone being in jail?
🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩 Congolese lives matter bruh
They do, and also Sudanese and Yemenite.
But where is happening a US sponsored genocide right now is in Palestine. Stopping US funding for that shouldn't be impossible.
The DRC should reinstate social control over all the land there. It is the most wealthy nation in terms of natural resources.
@@marlonbryanmunoznunez3179 Indeed-just *stop* sending weapons/money from the US, and Israel will get the message, and stop their operations. What exactly do you want us to do about Congo? That's not a sarcastic question, from the perspective of an average US citizen, what would you have have us do?

@@feydrautha012 Given the cobalt mined in the Congo goes into every computer and smart device, it will be very very difficult to pressure every tech company into redesigning their machines into not using it anymore until it's no longer profitable.
That said, there are some policy steps that all governments can take to at least reduce the demand for cobalt:
a) legal crackdowns on implementation of smart devices that were perfectly functional without computers - smart fridges, computers in people's cars, etc.;
b) legal crackdowns on companies optimizing phones and devices for planned obsolescence with incentives (tax breaks/subsidies/etc.) to build long-lasting machines; and
c) developing infrastructure capable of recycling and repurposing obsoleted devices, creating good paying union jobs in the process, basically Green New Deal policy that should have been happening like 20 years ago but instead we got the DHS, NSA, drones, and fracking. And fucking SpaceX and Tesla.
Gaining any ground on even these three policy priorities will itself require massive public pressure that doesn't really exist right now. The most recent iteration of the climate movement of the 2010s was killed as a side effect of the reactionary backlash to covid lockdown - the most vocal boomers and petty bourgeoisie have made it abundantly clear that collective self-sacrifice for the sake of a better, more humane future will never be an option as long as they're still around.
I suspect the Congolese working class (and workers in surrounding west African countries, esp. Nigeria which has one of Africa's biggest economies) will have to organize to force everyone else's hand on this issue, and they'd be wise to send a few of their best and brightest to western and Chinese universities to begin turning the tide of public opinion at least among the young in the imperial core, the same way Palestinians started doing a decade or two ago. It hits different when the issue in question is affecting the parents/cousins of your close friend from college, versus hearing about the issue in easily abstracted terms.
Stop interviews. So boring
Stop comments.
go watch Andrew Schulz or something
@@sickjuicysjamshack3580 I think cocomelon is more his speed
You have the option to listen to something else, you don’t have to sit here lol
Bring back the SAT. Raise the IQ.
Bring back STDs
i love DQ!
