And it's all over.
Cops marched 4 people off, possibly 2 arrests, 2 released off-site.
NONE OF THEM WERE OURS.
When you see the narrative about arrests at today's action, make a note what it says. As usual, the violence isn't on the Palestinian side.
Every fascist content creator in the city was here. They're going to chirp about arrests without mentioning whom.
No jail support for me, tonight.
Injunction dismissed.
Submissions happening for the injunction against today's Jerusalem/Al Quds Day rally.
It's also the day before the International Day Against Police Brutality.
I'm kind of hoping TPS isn't going to give us a bunch more examples for our socials and actual media.
We already have enough.
