Today in Labor History May 28, 1968: Students occupied the University of Madrid (still under control of fascist dictator Francisco Franco). Cops raided the campus and removed the occupiers, and then shut down the University. At the time, all political parties had been banned, except the Falange. Franco had banned all protests and labor unions, too. Thousands had been rounded up and tortured, imprisoned or killed. Like much of the world at the time, a New Left movement had formed in Spain, though Spain’s was completely underground due to the repression of the dictatorship. Protests and demonstrations had been occurring for months. Most were met with violent repression and imprisonment.

This 80-minute documentary offers a ground-level view of the 2024 US campus uprising against the war on Gaza. Featuring detained activist Mahmoud Khalil, alongside professors, whistleblowers, and organizers, "The Encampments" captures the deeper stakes of a historic moment that continues to reverberate across the globe.

This event is a fundraiser for the Gaza Soup Kitchen and attendees are asked to contribute based on their ability (suggested donation $10-20, no one turned away).

"Het protest in Den Haag was nooit het grootste protest in twintig jaar tijd geweest zonder de vermeend radicale stemmen die het gesprek eerst genormaliseerd hebben. Gepolijste marsen maken indruk, maar ze rusten op fundamenten gelegd door mensen die risico’s namen toen het draagvlak ontbrak.[...] De échte rode lijn is al lang geleden getrokken door de Palestijnen die ons al jaren vragen om solidariteit."

"Acting President #ClaireShipman was met with loud jeers at Columbia College’s graduation ceremony. Just minutes in, students erupted in chants of “Free Mahmoud”, demanding the release of jailed Palestinian activist #MahmoudKhalil ✊

Today in Labor History May 22, 1968: New York police broke through the barricades at Columbia University, busting the student occupations there. As a result, 998 were arrested and over 200 injured. Students were demanding a black studies program and an end to military recruitment and ROTC on campus. Sound familiar? However, today’s student protests are bringing back the worst of 1960s-‘70s police brutality and university intolerance for Free Speech along with McCarthy era firing, blacklisting and doxing of academics for the crime of criticizing the Israeli government, under bogus claims of antisemitism.

"Volgens Dijksma was afgesproken dat het ingrijpen door de politie "zo gefaseerd, de-escalerend en geweldloos mogelijk" moest gebeuren. De gemeente kondigt aan dat er onderzoek wordt gedaan naar de zaak."
