1. Esta madrugada llegĂł el fin para #OccupyCityHall (la acampada a los pies del ayuntamiento que empezĂł hace casi un mes). Cientos de policĂas antidisturbios desalojaron a los activistas y sin techo que tomaban plaza.

2. SegĂșn el Departamento de PolicĂa de Nueva York, los agentes dieron 10 minutos para que los activistas pudieran recoger sus cosas e irse.
Pese a que la ocupaciĂłn era pacĂfica, la redada terminĂł con siete detenidos.

3. En un mes los activistas habĂan construido un sistema de donaciĂłn de comida, lavanderĂa y hasta una biblioteca.
En junio tomaron la plaza para pedir recortes en el presupuesto del NYPD, pero tras la aprobaciĂłn de los fondos decidieron quedarse para pedir mĂĄs cambios.

1. La toma de activistas del movimiento de #BlackLivesMatter de la plaza que estĂĄ a los pies de la municipalidad de Nueva York, tambiĂ©n conocida como #OccupyCityHall, cumple su noveno dĂa.

2. Auque esta tarde era todo mĂșsica y baile. #OccupyCityHall casi ha desaparecido en las Ășltimas 24 h.
3. El martes por la noche se aprobĂł el presupuesto de de Nueva York con un recorte de 1.000 millones de dĂłlares en el presupuesto de NYPD.
Este fue un golpe duro para el movimiento, pues tomaron la plaza con la idea de influir aĂșn mĂĄs en el recorte.

1. Un enorme BLACK LIVES MATTER se estĂĄ delineando a los pies del Palacio de Justicia de NY en Foley Square, lugar que ha sido clave para decenas de protestas desde la muerte de #GeorgeFloyd
Mientras tanto, Trump dice que estas pintadas son un "sĂmbolo de odio"

2. El presidente de los Estados Unidos no se referĂa a esta pintada en concreto, sino a una que se estĂĄ planeando en la Quinta Avenida, calle que, segĂșn da a entender Trump, se deberĂa de reservar al el "lujo".
3. "No hay 'sĂmbolo de odio' aquĂ. SĂłlo un compromiso con la verdad", le contestĂł el alcalde de Nueva York (quien ultimate estĂĄ recibiendo odio por toda partes).
En ese sentido, Bill de Blasio, indicĂł que la ahora lujosa calle fue construida por negros.

Hi, hello. Are you angry that City Council failed #DefundNYPD? Me too. But! I have good news. 35 out of 51 Members are term limited at end of next year. Let me introduce you to some progressives of color running for their seats, who could really use your support (thread):
First a note: there will be more to come! Itâs early days, & some havenât setup/announced campaigns yet. But all the below have active donation links & there is a big fundraising deadline July 11. Your $ could help them qualify for 8-1 matching funds from the City! Thatâs big.
Brandon West @westforcouncil: District 39/BK (now Brad Lander). Brandon is a policy wonk who deeply understands the budget, currently works on national voting rights issues, and has been heavily involved in #DefundNYPD and #OccupyCityHall. westforcouncil.com
Kinda awestruck right now. Protesters at #OccupyCityHall NYC talked about, voted on, then organized a defense of the encampment, then successfully pushed back a massive horde of NYPD riot cops early this morning.
Here's how these five incredible hours went down:
Here's how these five incredible hours went down:
Shortly before 3:00 am, people call for a general assembly, for which a majority of the protesters who decided to stay overnight (a few hundred) gather. A (very skilled) facilitator takes the mic to address the pressing issues of the encampment.
First issue: The budget vote is over -- do we stay or do we leave? A few who feel strongly take turns at the the mic. There's some emotional testimony from some who were at the violent and injury-ridden police raid on the encampment the morning prior.

đ§”: Today, the narrative has been that Black folks arenât out here leading in the workâand specifically on #NYCBudgetJustice. Here are 10 Black folks whose organizing & leadership have paved the way for all the ânew folksâ to follow (in no particular order)...
1. @AnthoninePierre at @BKMovement, who has built a grassroots movement in central Brooklyn & has been unapologetically leading us to true transformation. Anthonine has been LITERALLY EVERYWHERE since the pandemic broke. If you know, you know.
2. @Jawanza of @VOCALNewYork, who has led #OccupyCityHall night after night without fear.
3. @Kassandra_Fred, who for 10+ yrs has led the movement to end the drug war at @DPA_NY & now nationally at @DrugPolicyOrg (talking about marijuana reform way before yâall were hip to it).

NYC Council stated meeting on the budget is finally on. Watching live: council.nyc.gov/livestream/
Unrelated, the St. Louis khakis-no-shoes-AR15 guy is telling Chris Cuomo he was a victim of terrorism. What a time to be alive.
Meanwhile, @Macys just launched a mortar attack on Brooklyn maybe. It's loud out there. Hide your kids, hide your dogs, hide your veterans.
I feel sick.
Hundreds of people have been camping out by NYC City Hall for a week to demand the city defund the NYPD.
The budget vote is today.
So the mayor sent the NYPD to break it up before the vote.
Knowing that meant beatings and arrests.

@NYCMayor did you want to avoid bad press around your bogus budget? Because this looks like the start of some pretty bad press to me.
The NYPD assaulted these people just hours ago. When I was down at #OccupyCityHall it was the definition of a peaceful protest.
Free food, discussions, even free COVID tests.
And now, because the budget vote is today, the violent NYPD was unleashed.

as much as I loved my grad arch school, part of this project needs to be about understanding how the formal/aesthetic aspects of my architectural pedagogy might be deeply racist, or denialist in the privileging of form, concept, agency, design in architectural spaces
design focused on authorship, identity, difference is deeply problematic. It treats space as being about trying to be as ânon-fungibleâ as possible, a âunique productâ rather than a living thing that is deeply connected to our notions of community and relation
the notion of ânew designsâ is also deeply problematic; (I forget whose argument this is)
The focus on newness is a fundamentally market driven understanding of architecture, where value is achieved through distinction from other spaces. Spaces $ because theyâre not like others

2. SegĂșn @btwest, uno de los organizadores, #OCH empezĂł de manera orgĂĄnica despuĂ©s de una marcha cuando varios activistas decidieron tomar la plaza y pasar la noche allĂ.
Hace mĂĄs de un mes que en EEUU se dan protestas contra la brutalidad policial y el racismo. #BlackLivesMatter

3. Cada noche son unas 500 personas las que pasan la noche en hamacas y tiendas de campaña, aunque West señala que la mayorĂa de los activistas hace guardia y luego va a dormir a sus casas (como es su caso).
Mientras que durante el dĂa la plaza recibe a unas 2.000 personas.

For #BlackHistoryMonth, I wrote about the interconnectedness of Black and Queer histories. I want to reinforce that message, especially during this Pride Month, as we see Black, Queer and Trans people marching nationwide for dignity and justice. gaycitynews.com/black-history-âŠ
We follow in the steps of the Black & brown trans folks who led the Stonewall Riots. As stated in my piece, âFor some, courage has to be summoned. For others, bravery comes without choice. For the Black queer community, our leadership has so often been tethered to our survival.â
The #QueerLiberationMarch reclaims #Pride & takes to the streets in support of #BlackLivesMatter #OccupyCityHall + #NYCBudgetJustice to invest in communities of color, youth, education, & healthcare programs & services that are integral to making & keeping our communities whole.
1. I donât believe in mask shaming (shame as a public health tactic simply never works), but having gone to #OccupyCityHall last night where literally every one of hundreds of ppl were masked but for bullhorn speakers, I have a theory about how to get ppl to mask up...
2. To get ppl to wear masks, u must engage them in activities where they care for others & are cared for by othersâwhere an activity (other than mask wearing) is a form of love/care.
Shopping is NOT such an activity! Itâs about getting stuff for me & disregard for worker thee.

3. Every protest Iâve been to, well upwards of 90% of ppl have been masked up. Last night at #OccupyCityHall #Occupy2020, literally everyone but ppl as they took the bullhorn or are were masked. BC the activity & the world itself were ALREADY abt mutual care.
